Thanks for posting the Reputation/Software Instability modifiers, useful for when trying to setup certain reputation statuses. Like with Hank and Alice
twitch/oglord_supremo says
what is the cross chapter event for spilling hanks drink?
Mason Morse says
It unlocks a dialogue option to apologize in “Waiting for Hank…” if the crime remained unresolved.
Spoderman says
You need to look at the CLOSET to the RIGHT of the Eden Club brochure, to unlock a piece of the flowchart. It’s not mandatory, but just in case people are wondering.
Bel says
Is there a way to find thee deviant but not rat him out? I believe I saw it in one of the playthroughs, a long time ago, but it doesn’t seem possible now. Maybe it was a demo?
Kiki says
No I don’t think so, you can only when u investigate him at the Station not stress him and I think then he atleast doesn’t die but I’m not sure. Maybe look at the walktrough for that chapter
