Day 18 is Friday, December 10th, 1982 in story mode. Unfavorable international press has affected immigration protocol.

Gameplay changes[]

  • A Reason for Denial stamp has been added and appears upon interrogation. If the inspector has to deny an entrant, he must add a reason with said stamp.

Rules in effect[]

Events[]

  • There is a scripted event that will cause the first, second, fourth, fifth, and seventh entrant to have incorrect papers until one of them is denied of entry and is given a reason for denial. This triggers unique dialog (see the Transcripts section below) and will turn the rest of the aforementioned entrants into generic entrants who may or may not have discrepancies in their documents.
    • Postponing the event will not lead to anything but a pile of citations, (unless the entrant can be detained) so the inspector should just deny the first entrant and give them a reason for denial.
    • The discrepancies for these entrants can only be missing papers, non-matching photos, or non-matching names.
    • The third and the sixth entrant are unaffected by this event and may or may not have valid papers but will not trigger the unique dialog even if it has not happened by the time it is their turn to enter the booth.
  • If the Arstotzka Arskickers pennant is hanging on the wall, the third entrant is an Arstotzkan who will notice and talk about the match. They can show up with correct or incorrect papers. They can also be one of the three criminals listed in the bulletin; there are no special dialogues for this. If detained, they will say, "I thought we have Arskickers connection".
  • The sixth entrant is from the United Federation. They talk about their life as a checkpoint inspector. Their papers are valid but they may be missing an entry permit.
  • The eighth entrant is a foreign worker who may or may not have valid papers. During their inspection, a person climbs over the wall and runs towards the guards, bringing up an option to use the tranquilizer gun. The day proceeds to this point even if the clock reaches 6pm. The intruder will throw a grenade at the guards killing all three of them (including Sergiu, disabling later events related to him) if the inspector does not stop the intruder in time.
  • If the inspector's son is alive, the inspector can buy him an expensive crayon set for 25 credits at the end of the day. If the son is alive at the end of day 19, he will draw the inspector a picture.
  • At the end of the day, the inspector will receive 5 credits for every two entrants detained in the past two days (as per his deal with Calensk). The bonus caps at 30 credits.
