Walkthrough
My name is Doris Deweakes - Dor to anyone who knows me.
And this is how I endured my world becoming a nightmare.
The monsters I faced were numerous and unpredictable.
These are the places I went and the actions I took,
but if I did everything over exactly the same, I might not make it.
Alongside my actions, I've recorded my thoughts:
how I felt and what I had to do to survive.

I don't have the best history with guns, but I know how to use one.
There was a monster prowling this area. If it got in the way, I'd have to ATTACK it.

Cath was feeling a bit more chatty now, it seemed.
I could ask her about what was going on.
Maybe I'd been a bit harsh on her...

There was one obvious place where Cath was always losing her jewellery.
And a few outfits in my wardrobe leapt out to me: I could WEAR one and it might make some aspect of this nightmare a little easier.

Getting to Cath still wasn't simple. I needed to open the blast door and get that creepy statue out of the way.
Two more of those monsters were wandering inside her palace. Searching that partisan's bandolier might turn up some more bullets.
And maybe I could SWITCH ON that broken-down guardian in the servants' hall?

There were two more of those monsters in this area, making things difficult. I needed to search everything for supplies to deal with them.
And those flashing buttons were really tempting... Although only one of them was reusable.

I found another entrance into the corrupted space beyond Core Bay 3.
Since I'd already lured the monster to the far end, I could get in and grab that severed arm.
Cath said the VEC had a DNA lock... but I'd need a way to deal with the Viscount unless I wanted to take a hit while opening it.

Into the monsters' nest.
The chances of me being able to wait that long in one location were low, but if I left, the elevator would start to return to orbit.
Was that another one of Cath's guardians to the west of the Foyer?
And pushing the "START" button in the meeting rooms might keep some of the monsters busy, for a while.
