GEMELOG / INDIE PLAY GUIDE
Is This Seat Taken? guide: A placement order
Updated
Separate fixed-position requirements from neighbour preferences. Bus stages retain passengers, so review the whole arrangement each time.
A placement order
Read each request and place people with few legal spots first. Match the current conditions rather than relying only on names from an earlier arrangement.
Steps and checks
- Identify seats, standing spaces and windows.
- Treat a conversation pair as a unit and reserve adjacent spaces.
- Check who dislikes smell or music and separate conflicting passengers.
- After a new arrival, recheck the people who were already there.
What changes on Barcelona's bus
Some passengers leave at each stop while others stay. Existing passengers can be repositioned. The pair of spaces around the upper middle are standing spots.
Steps and checks
| Condition | Placement check |
|---|---|
| Wants to stand | Use a standing space, not a seat |
| Window preference | Reserve a window while considering a conversation partner |
| Conversation bubble | Keep the pair adjacent |
| Dislikes loud music | Avoid the noisy passenger’s affected spaces |
| Passenger departure | Recheck anyone whose partner left |
Checks for the early bus stages
Reveal solutions / spoilers
Anastasiya's standing request, Remi's window and conversation needs, and Klaus's noise preference are separate constraints. An isolated swap may satisfy one person while upsetting another.
- Resolve the standing requirement first.
- Fit the conversation pair around the required window.
- Scan every satisfaction indicator for remaining noise conflicts.
Regular stages and the hidden location
Complete the city's stars to reveal its hidden location. A successful arrangement may be only one stage of that location, so check the city map for unfinished stars.
Steps and checks
| Problem | Return to |
|---|---|
| Missing stars | Remaining arrangements on the city map |
| Different passenger count | The current stop and stage |
| Someone was happy before | Neighbours and conversation after departures |
