Karma The Dark World Act One Too Far Away Walkthrough

You'll wake up in a Hospital room all confused, no knowledge of who you are. To find your memories again in Karma the Dark World, first you have to explore the room you found yourself in. In this guide, Memo collectibles are highlighted in red, while the Rule Follower collectibles are highlighted in green.

One important thing is to get the Handwritten Notes Memo from the table if you want to get the collectibles achievement.

After going through the Calibration Rooms, you'll end up in the Cultivation Room where a bunch of bodies seems to be planted and growing. Ignore the creepiness, and pick up the Experimentation Records Memo from one of the machines on the right.

Before sitting down in the Transition room, pick up the Puzzle Box from the right. You need to continue the sequence in the pattern that you see. Most puzzles will be pattern recognition and figuring out the next sequence. In this puzzle, press the Green Button to open the box and you'll get the Dr. Jürgen W. Waltz Rule Follower.

After you sit in the chair, you'll get to experience the Blackwater Space as well some of Daniel's memories.

Karma The Dark World Act Two Part One Whirl Pool Walkthrough

After Fred talks at you for too long, it's time to start your investigation into Sean Mehndez (not the singer). Here are all the collectibles you can grab in the next section.

• Pick up the Research Institute Notice (Reception) Memo from the board to the left of the door.
• Grab the Transfer Letter Memo from the table inside the Receptionist office.
• In the mail room, look for a post capsule on the left side. Turn it around, open it and pick up the Transfer Capsule Mail 01 Memo.
• Across from it is another capsule with a Transfer Capsule Mail 02 Memo.
• Interact with the Pneumatic Tube Device to get the Mission Brief Memo.

To the left in one of the pipes you'll see a Puzzle Box. For this one, you need to correctly match the dice pattern as well as the folded dice. In this case, the correct answer is the blue button, and you'll get the Engineer - Wilhelm Puschel Rule Follower.

After that, you'll get to interact with a Telescreen. These usually record Employee Disobedient Behavior in an image. While this one isn't very useful to you, future Telescreens will be helpful to solve puzzles, so keep an eye on them.

Now go upstairs, and you'll get a couple of more collectibles on your way. And do look back even when the wall tells you not to. It's a fun treat

• Pick up the Shift Schedule Memo from the staircase banister.
• Go up to the desk and grab Becker's Diary Memo.
• Take the Research Institute Notice (Storage Room) Memo stuck to the wall next to the door.

How to open the Storage Room

To progress, you have to open the Storage Room at the Research Institute. The keycard is in the drawer, but you need the password to open it.

• Becker's Diary Memo from the desk tells you the painting of the clock was the password, but it is missing.
• Use the Telescreen to see different angles of the clock which is set at 08:15.
• The drawer password is 0815 and you'll get the Storage Room ID Card.
• Inside, pick up the lipstick from the desk to the right.
• Grab the Purchase Order Memo from the shelf.

You can't unlock the box just yet, so ignore it for now and climb through the vent on the left. Once you crawl through, pick up the shelf that was blocking the door so you now have a clear path back into the hallway. You are now in the Clerk Hall and you need a fuse to turn the power back on.

• Go to the desk on the left and pick up Barbara's Diary Memo which tells you she has the key to the red box in the Storage Room.
• Open the middle drawer and grab the Fuse storage box key which you can go and open now.
• Put the fuse into the fuse box to turn on the lights.
• Go back to Barbara's desk so that you can pick up the Candy Maker Roswitha Mokrosch Rule Follower. The box is empty, but if you unlock it with the password 7742, you can unlock the drawer to the right and get it.

How to Open Sean's Desk

Now it's time to investigate around the room and find proof of Sean's crime. You need to unlock his desk in the far left corner, but there are a couple of others steps you need to do first.

• Head down the right path and pick up the Research Institute Notice (Clerical Office) memo from the blackboard on the right.
• Keep going down the right path until you reach the last desk.
• Inside the drawer is a lipstick box. Look at the lipstick in your inventory and memorize the order of the symbols: club, diamond, heart, spade.
• On the poster above the desk, you'll find the poster with numerical values attached to these symbols: 6843. Use this password to unlock the drawer.
• Pick up Emily's Diary Memo, which tells you Sean changed the password to his desk to today's date, which is April 30. So the password is 0430.

With the evidence you get from his drawer, head down the hallway, but you'll find yourself stuck in the red rooms.

How to Escape the Red Rooms

The Red Rooms are a sequence of looping rooms that depict the memories of Sean's family. You need to get out as well as pick up all of the collectibles here.

• There is a puzzle box on the armchair to the right. The next pattern in the sequence is red. You'll get the Legendary Roam Agent Cooper Rule Follower.
• Go down the left path and pick up Diary of Sean's Daughter 01 memo as well as the Wish Card Memo from the counter outside the room.
• Look at the TV and an elevator door will open to the right, so go inside.
• Pick up the Portable Recorder hanging in the middle of the room, then take the Dasein 012 memo tape from the desk to the right.

You're not out of the woods (red rooms) just yet. Go through the door and you'll find yourself in the second section.

• Make sure to pick up the blinking light.
• Grab the Dasein 013 memo tape from the room with the gurneys.
• Keep going until you can grab the Dasein 014 memo tape from the desk again.
• Interact with the TV and jump down a hole.
• In the big room, pick up the Transfer Letter (Sean) memo.

Once you have it, go through either of the two doors and you'll be in Sean's second memory. While the family is falling apart, go around collecting.

• Pick up the Bill memo from the table on the right.
• Go down the hallway to the right and pick up Diary of Sean's Daughter 02 memo as well as the Father teddy bear.
• Repeat the sections until you're in the third memory.
• Grab the Suspicious Letter to Sean memo on the table, then grab the Mother teddy bear from the chair to the right.
• On the couch, you can grab the Diary of Sean's Daughter 03 memo.
• Place the Mother and Father teddy bear into the box, then take the Daughter teddy bear from Sean's daughter who isn't behaving creepily at all.

The black and white striped rooms aren't your exit just yet. There's more things to grab to free yourself from this investigation.

• Grab the Notice of Arrears memo from the dining table.
• Go into the room of Sean's daughter to pick up another Diary of Sean's Daughter 04.
• Back at the mail room, send out the evidence and you can now leave the Research Institute.

How to Get to the Thought Bureau

Keep going down the alleys until you reach the three screen heads knocking on a door. Go past them and to the right where a man is sitting on some crates. Pick up the puzzle box from behind him and press the blue button to complete the sequence. You'll get the Cleaner Peter Kowalski Rule Follower.

Once inside the building, first go around the counter to pick up another puzzle box. This time you'll get Roam Agent Sandra Behling Rule Follower when you press the blue button.
