Mastering the art of state-approved surveillance and underground subversion requires a careful balance of loyalty and deception as you navigate life as a double agent. While the game is currently coming soon with its release date to be announced by developers Alawar, preparing your strategy in advance will help you survive the bureaucratic ladder and sudden police raids.
How to Balance Working for the State and the Resistance
Playing both sides means you must carefully weigh your daily Ministry duties against your secret underground operations. By day, you will process citizens' files and sign orders to climb the career ladder, while your nights are spent stealing documents, cracking safes, and planting listening devices.
How to Prepare for Sudden Police Searches
When your workday ends, returning home with stolen documents brings the constant threat of a police raid. You only have seconds to hide incriminating evidence when officers knock on your door, meaning preparation is key to your survival.
- Locate the primary hiding spots in your apartment, such as air vents and under your mattress.
- Store incriminating items quickly out of sight before the search commences.
- Assess whether documents should be destroyed entirely if the risk of discovery is too high.
- Prepare your excuses and practice talking your way out by lying or pulling rank if officers close in on hidden evidence.
| Hiding Location | Risk Level | Recovery Speed |
|---|---|---|
| Under the Mattress | Medium | Fast |
| Air Vents | Low | Moderate |
| Secret Wall Panels | Low | Slow |
How to Manage Workplace Relationships and Romances
Total control does not eliminate human connections, but trusting the wrong person in the Ministry can prove fatal. You will encounter four very different women with their own beliefs, desires, and secrets—some aligned with the State and others with the resistance.
- Get to know each character's unique personality through conversation.
- Help them solve personal problems to build trust and unlock romantic options.
- Balance your dates carefully when a loved one's allegiances conflict with your own orders.
How to Handle Brutal Moral Dilemmas
Every choice in the Ministry comes at a cost, and there is no universal "do the right thing" button to press when faced with difficult decisions. You can choose to save someone from arrest, alter patrol schedules, or hand underground plans over to the State for personal gain. Because your actions affect character fates and relationship outcomes, evaluating each scenario carefully determines how your unique story unfolds across multiple playthroughs.
