More than there being no single path through the game, this game is more like "get these things done, in absolutely whatever order you like, and take as long as you like." So instead of a walkthrough, the bulk of this is more of checklist. It is not comprehensive with regards to directions - you will need a map (warning: 1225x1002 pixel size, although only 40k in filesize). To clear your record buffer you must abort simulation, wait in Perelman's office until he shows up, and then show him the record buffer.
Part One (2041)
1. Visit your apartment. You live west of Southway and Park,
and your key opens both the lobby door and the door to your apartment.
2. Ride the subway. Entrances to the "Tubes" can be found at Rockvil Stadium,
Bodanski Square, Halley Park West, the Skybus Terminal, Elm & University,
Elm & River, Wicker & River, and the Airport Terminal.
3. Eat in a restaurant. You can go to Simon's northeast off Bodanski Square,
the Coachman southeast off Main & Wicker, the Burgerworld northeast off Aquarium
& Park, or Roy's Pagoda south off Elm Underpass.
4. Talk to a government official. He's in City Hall, west of Rockvil Centre.
5. Watch a court in session. Go to the Courthouse northwest of Elm & Park.
6. Talk to a church elder. One can be found in the First Methodist Church
southwest of Aquarium & River, or at St. Michael's north and then west of
Main & Church.
7. Visit a power-generating facility. Go to the Power Station, southeast and
then south of Wicker & River.
8. Read a newspaper. Buy one from the dispenser in Bodanski Square.
9. Go to a movie. The Cinema is east and then northwest from Bodanski Square.
Buy a ticket and then go in.
Part Two (2051, 2061, 2071, 2081)
Each successive simulation only becomes available after you've spent enough time in the previous one (300 game minutes in 2051, 400 game minutes in 2061, 600 game minutes in 2071). You can see how much time you've spent in each by entering Interface Mode and saying simulation controller, status. In each of these years, an assortment of bad (indeed, progressively worse) sights and events show up. You need to record these bad things, and show your recordings to Perelman to convince him that society will continually degenerate under the Plan, and thereby discredit the Plan and stop it from going into effect. Each event you show to Perelman is worth a certain number of points toward proving to him that the Plan is a failure. Some can be seen in more than one year; you can only count each event once. When trying to record an event that is listed as "within your first few turns", it is a good idea to enter the location where it occurs with your recorder already on, since it often happens on the very first turn. If you miss an event you want to record, however, you can simply abort and then re-enter simulation mode, and try to catch it again. If Perelman says they want to see more from a particular year after you show him your recordings, you haven't collected enough from that year yet. You must collect 11 points from 2051, 21 points from 2061, 41 points from 2071, and 15 points from 2081 before Perelman will take your findings to Washington.
