GERMS: Nerawareta Machi（PlayStation）
🦠 Avoid infection while closing in on the truth
Managing infection as the main risk while combining clues and focusing the investigation on its core.
GERMS: Nerawareta Machi — what should I check first in Infection, mutation, and the conclusion?
The greatest obstacle is not a powerful opponent but game over through infection or mutation. Avoid forcing dangerous situations; withdraw, go around, or change your visiting time instead. Separate saves before important actions are the most effective precaution.
| Phase | Objective | Checklist |
|---|---|---|
| Early game | Understand the town's layout, transport options, and infection risk |
|
| Midgame | Collect clues and expand the investigation as time passes and mutations spread |
|
| Late game | Focus the investigation on the truth while avoiding infection |
|
1. Infection or mutation quickly causes game over
Cause: You are not sufficiently avoiding dangerous contact or overextension
Solution: Avoid reckless actions, keep separate saves before risky scenes, and proceed cautiously
2. The investigation stops because you do not know where to go next
Cause: Your clues are disorganized and destinations remain vague
Solution: Write down what you learned and systematically revisit likely related places and people
3. Travel and the clock prevent you from exploring the whole town
Cause: You are not selecting transport efficiently
Solution: Choose transport by distance—walk nearby and use cars or trains farther away—and manage travel and time together

- ▸ Do not force your way into dangerous scenes
- ▸ Avoid hazards by withdrawing, circling around, or changing the time
- ▸ Keep separate saves before important actions
Scenes connected to the truth can substantially advance events. Keep separate saves before important-looking actions so you do not leave something you later wish to inspect. Specific conclusions are for your own investigation to discover; this section only recommends approaching calmly with clues and safety secured.
- ▸ Keep separate saves before scenes likely to cause major progress
- ▸ Make a final check for unresolved clues
- ▸ Approach the core calmly after securing clues and safety
