The weather was sunny for too long. As it is known, in such cases spontaneous combustion of peat and vegetation is possible. However, you attempted to cross the forest. Your group tried to escape from a wild fire, but the fate was not favorable: everyone poisoned with smoke or burned alive.
Developers Diary #10. Avalanche
During the passage through the mountains, the weather changed abruptly. It snowed without ceasing. Your group continued moving. Unfortunately, the snow mass on the slope reached a critical value, which caused an avalanche. Of course, the group had no time to think of shelter, and they died under the snow rubble.
Developers Diary #9. Failure
The forest has always been a dangerous place for walking, wild animals have been seen. Your group also met with them. And if the meeting with a deer herd caused a storm of delight, then a bear was not at all glad that they dared to come so close to the cubs. Protecting the offspring, a bear managed to tear apart a group member and to strip several others. All frontier guards came running to the screams. Your group was arrested.
Developers Diary #8. Binocular
Binocular is a device that helps to observe remote objects with both eyes at once with the help of two telescopes. Due to it a person can get a full stereo image, in contrast to the use of a telescope, which performs, generally speaking, the same functions.
You can choose waterproof binoculars with a 10x zoom and image stabilizer in your inventory. This object can hardly be overestimated, thanks to it you can watch border guards. If you see their silhouettes, then you still have a chance to escape. In addition, they will not notice you, because the lenses do not flare.
Using a binocular you can search for a place to sleep.
In addition, a binocular can be used simply for aesthetic pleasure, for example, to look at the extending landscapes from the mountain top.
Developers Diary #7. Great Pinaldini's ball
A ball seems useless for crossing the border, it only takes place in a bag. But crossing the river, it serves a good service - it prevents you from drowning.
Few people know that a ball may be extremely useful to move through a border checkpoint, but not just a ball, we need the ball signed by Pinaldini. It is not known where the defectors have found it, and why it is in this country, but we let you in on a secret: all the border guards are ardent fans of Pinaldini's game. They would greatly rejoice at a simple poster with his image (they would hang it on the wall opposite to the ruler), and here is a real autograph!
If you think that your success chances of passing a checkpoint are small, then take this ball with you. Such a luxurious gift guarantees they immediately let you pass to the other border side.
Developers Diary #6. Abandoned manhole in the border forest
Under shaded tree crowns, through ravines and deadfall nearby residents like to pick mushrooms. But not only civilians visit this forest: border guards exercise on a rugged terrain, as well as orient. Therefore, when you take the road, try not to make noise: if someone sees you, be sure, you will never persuade them to remain silent.
The route is laid along a shaded thicket and leads to an abandoned underground warehouse.
The refugees are extremely fortunate that this warehouse has never been put into operation, and its dismissed designer prudently has hidden the schemes in case the situation in the country becomes frightening.
Previously, the border has been much west, so now the old storehouse ventilation runs right under the current frontier. It is necessary to crawl on belly in there, overcoming choking spells - the air circulation has long been broken...
Developers Diary #5. Crossing the mountains
The most risky way to cross the border - to pass through the mountains. Few would dare to do that. Good equipment is extremely important, otherwise the passage will lead into trouble. Also you need not deviate from the route and be completely confident in the reliability of your mates. In addition, something unexpected might happen, such as an avalanche. Therefore, read the weather reports before the passage, it is better not to go, if the forecast is the snow. The transition lasts a week, during which each group member will be constantly in danger.
One would think, to perish having flown from the mountain to the gorge, what could be more terrible, for the sake of what risk everything?
The answer is simple: for the sake of freedom.
Developers Diary #4. Operation failure
Unfortunately, not every border raid is successful. Even the smallest detail can spoil the whole operation. Therefore, it is important to think over the whole way across the border and follow the plan precisely. Collecting things to go through the forest, and then suddenly go through the border crossing checkpoint is a stupidity, which results the whole group is arrested at the border. If you meet hypercritical customs officers, try to offer something to them. It is possible that they agree to let you through without additional checks.
Developers Diary #3. The Swamp
The swamp is considered impassable, so not a single frontier guard comes here, just like the locals, but border guard dogs can hear loud sounds. It is important to move strictly along the route marked with light ribbons. In this case, after five days you can be on the other side of the border. It is better to cross the border in a group, it is more likely to get alive.
Fog is the curse of these places. It appears suddenly, and becomes so impenetrable that it is impossible to tell what is in two steps in front. In a fog you need to move slowly and be extremely cautious, so as not to take the wrong turn. Test the ground before each step, try to tread exactly in footsteps, otherwise the losing a group member probability is very high.
Developers Diary #2. Stretch
A few kilometers away from the port of entry there is a wide stretch, hidden behind a bush-covered riverbank.
It's a nice fishing spot here, so the border guards have become used to constantly meet fishermen sitting on the banks.
It's going to take about three days to cross the border here, but first you need to get food and supplies.
During the rainy days, the river's water level rises quickly, and crossing it becomes very dangerous. Avoid talking with the locals. For effective denunciation they get a week's supply of rice, and children even get chocolate.
