Prologue
When starting a new game, you'll witness Maya and Devin talking to each other on their phones. After advancing through the dialogue, choose one of the photos on the wall. Then, select the second, third, and finally Maya's parents' photo. Shortly after, their phone session will disconnect, and Maya finds the city is on fire.
Level 1
Unlock the Gate
After learning that the city is on fire, head to the back of Maya's house and inspect the locked gate on the far right. Navigate to the front of the house until you're directly below the shoes hanging from a power line. Inspect the shoes.
Note: It's essential to do these seemingly trivial tasks if you wish to gain achievements.
Next, head towards the front door of Maya's house and examine the mat in front of the door. Using what you have found, head back to the gate and unlock it.
Find the Correct Payphone
After leaving the yard, walk until you find a green box, inspect it. Afterward, interact with the green car behind Maya's house. Then, travel to the front of the record shop near the car and check its billboard. Inspect the payphone nearby, and you'll find that it's dead.
Walk towards the hotel next door, and you'll find another payphone, try it, it too is dead. Afterward, head to the front of the hotel. Inspect the hotel sign. Next, interact with the green box beside the hotel's door.
Walk back along the main street until you're under another pair of shoes hanging from a power line, inspect them. Next, examine the black poster located on the side of Blecker's store. Afterward, talk to Blecker, the store owner.
Once you have finished talking to Blecker, navigate to the other side of the store, and you'll find another payphone. Don't interact with it just yet. Instead, walk straight until you find a fountain, inspect it.
After you're sure that you've interacted with all of the objects mentioned above, inspect the last payphone you've found, but you will need a coin to use the payphone; interact with the fountain to get one. Go back to the payphone and use your coin. Lastly, interact with Maya's car, the green car parked behind her house.
Note: It does not matter which payphone you use to call Devin, but it'll always be the third payphone you've interacted with that will allow you to make the call.

Level 3
Get the First Key
From where you're standing, walk to the right, and you'll find yet another pair of shoes hanging from a power line, inspect them. Continue walking, and you'll notice another green box, interact with it. Walk straight and inspect another hanging pair of shoes.
On the left, you should see another Blecker's store. Before you enter the store, inspect the green box and payphone. Walk around the shop, then enter it to get upstairs. Once upstairs, talk to the blonde woman. Use the ladder nearby and interact with the "Woosh!" billboard. Take the green key nearby.
Get the Second Key
Exit the shop and continue walking down the alley to the right. Once you're under the railroad bridge, go right to get to the other side of the main street. Now, you should cross into the park.
There is a police officer in the park, taking into account their flashlight movement, walk to the park stairs. Don't walk all the way up the stairs just yet. Again, determine the pattern of the flashlight's movement to get to the other side of the park.
Once at the top of the stairs, walk past another police officer. Nearby, you should see a brown van and a red sports car. Interact with the green box between them. Head left to the spot near a green bus surrounded by fire. Around the area, look for an entrance to a building, enter it. After you get upstairs, climb down the ladder and pick another key in the bottom-right corner.
Use the Keys
Navigate your way back to the park stairs. Open the gate on top of the stairs using the first key you gained. You'll encounter another police officer. Wait until he falls asleep to enter the park bridge. Open the door at the end of the bridge using your second key.
Walk to the right to meet another green box, inspect it. Head left until you're in front of the records shop. Talk to the lady in front of it, and you'll get a walkman, but don't use it yet.
Walk Through Fire
Continue moving forward, and you should see another pair of hanging shoes above some parked cars surrounded by fire. Interact with it.
In your current location, use your walkman, and you'll notice that it will open a path around the fire near you; walk through it. You are now in an area you've been previously. If your walkman is running out of power, look for a nearby trash can to get more batteries.
Navigate to the spot where you found the sleepy police officer near the park bridge. Use your walkman to open up the stairs blocked by fire and walk through it. Again, analyze the police officers' flashlight pattern to go through. Finally, walk upstairs and enter the train.
Congratulations! You've finished the first half of the game and are on your way to reuniting Maya with Devin!
