First-shift checklist
The point of this order is not speed for its own sake. It reduces the chance that a striking visual detail distracts you from a basic identity error. Once the routine becomes automatic, you can spend attention on the unusual cases that actually require judgment.
- 01
Read the manual and current instructions before starting the clock.
- 02
Confirm the name and photograph before studying secondary details.
- 03
Match the stated job or position with the paperwork.
- 04
Check whether clearance and timing fit the visit.
- 05
Compare pass or passport numbers and supporting certificates.
- 06
Listen for inconsistent answers, slurred speech, or protocol deviations.
- 07
Escalate with the inspection tools the current build makes available.
- 08
Choose access, denial, or quarantine from the combined evidence.
Avoid the common early mistakes
Do not approve someone because one document looks polished. The official description warns that suspiciously perfect papers can be part of the problem. Likewise, do not treat a matching clearance as proof that every other detail is correct. Clearance is one field in a larger record.
Do not assume every inspection tool is unlocked immediately or works identically across the demo and full game. Cameras, X-rays, internal checks, temperature, fingerprints, and blood testing are all supported by official material, but public sources do not provide a stable unlock schedule.
- Use the manual for the current shift, not a remembered rule from an earlier run.
- Check numbers character by character; the demo update added incorrect pass and passport numbers.
- Treat quarantine as a consequential safety measure, not a score button.
- Keep the city infection layer in mind without guessing at hidden formulas.
What changes after the demo
Alawar has announced broader full-version responsibilities, including blood sample analysis, microscopic examination, and additional facility locations. Those announcements show where the game is heading, but they do not establish exact readings, optimal routes, or outcomes. This guide will keep the same workflow after release and add only observations that can be reproduced and sourced.
