Walkthrough – Episode 1

Hello, folks!

So it's now officially over a week since Beyond Sunset was released. We've got so many positive reviews, and we see so many people playing our game on YouTube or Twitch! We're astonished and absolutely grateful.

But, we also see a lot of you dying time and again 😂 Or getting lost, or having trouble solving some puzzles. We do have a game guide available, so let us have a look at it!



[h2]Walkthrough – Episode 1[/h2]

> Complete the Combat Simulation and choose your gameplay difficulty by walking through the correct path:
green/blue - novice, orange - average, red - advanced.

> Go to the Red Pawn shop in Old Town and interact with the NPC to obtain a katana.

> Find a building with a balcony on which a man in a pink suit stands - enter it and kill everyone.
Pick up the pink enemy's dismembered hand.

> Go back to the Red Pawn to obtain your reward. While talking to Vladmir you can also accept a new quest to retrieve a briefcase from the quarantine zone.

> Find a closed passage that requires the pink hand to enter. Interact with the scanner.

> Go through the passage, kill enemies and enter West Sunset Mall building.

> On the first floor, go through an automatic door (they light up green allowing you to enter), and use a computer to open the loading zone gate.

> Go to the loading zone, kill enemies and climb to the 2nd floor of the building.

> Look for the locked door and use the silver key obtained earlier from Vladmir to open it.

> Enter through the door and interact with a green terminal that you can shoot in order to unlock further passage.

> Obtain a briefcase in this area and clear enemy waves to escape.

> Exit the quarantine area and go back to Vladmir to give him the briefcase.

> Go back to Market Street and find a shop with the Trade & Repair banner. Interact with the merchant and accept a quest to destroy a soviet war mech in the West Sunset Quarantine Zone. You will receive a key to the quarantine zone.

> Go back to the quarantine zone and this time choose a path to the right.

> Go through the quarantine zone area up until you find a closed door that will
open after interacting with it [you will use the key received from the merchant].

> Kill the mech boss.

> Pick up the two items that drop from the boss - a battery
for the merchant quest, and a power cell that will allow you to open
a new path to quickly exit the quarantine zone. You can interact
with a machine in the boss area to put the power cell into it to open
up the new path.

> Exit the quarantine zone. The shortcut will lead you to Slums - clear enemies
in this area.

> Go back to the Trade & Repair merchant to complete the mech quest.

> In Market Street go through the building in the middle of this area, it will have
two interactive locks in it. Interacting with them will open two new
paths for you.

> Go back to Market Street and go through one of the paths opened earlier, it will lead you to a door that can be opened by using the blue hand picked up just before.

> Pick up a Rifle in the room opened with the blue hand. In the same room, access the network by using the PC. Complete this network level.

> Back in Market Street, find The Wave banner and go through that passage to get to The Wave dance club.

> Enter the club and finish the fight sequence inside of it - you will gain a red hand from an enemy there.

> Leave the club and use the obtained red hand to open a door back on Market Street [it is located on the highest floor in this level].

> Interact with the PC inside that room to access the network. Finish this network level and go to Slums.

> Find an open room with a PC that will allow you to unlock South Tower Security.

> Enter through the newly opened door and unlock West Tower Security through the PC.

> Enter the newly opened door and unlock Parrott Lobby through the PC.

> Enter Parrott Lobby, interact with the elevator and clear enemy waves.

> Use the elevator and kill the NPC that drops the green hand.
