Short answer
Stuck at the first orderly in the prologue? Leo's Steam route waits for the guard to turn left, walks behind him and saves sprinting for the bushes. Use the timing cues below for that encounter. Passing him is not proof of a full Challenge 5 clear; complete the remaining objective and check its result separately.
The six-goal count is a public guide lead, not an official checklist. Checked September 18: 1.0.2 names a Prologue Challenge 6 fix, which is not proof that the older Challenge 5 tips below are verified. If the app exits at the results screen, use the separate chapter-end crash checks.
First orderly: wait, walk, then sprint
| Visible cue | Author's movement | If it fails |
|---|---|---|
| The orderly is moving right | Wait behind him outside his view. | Check your starting position rather than sprinting into the flashlight. |
| He turns left and the light sweeps right to left | Walk behind him; do not sprint yet. | Compare the turn and your position before changing the rest of the route. |
| You reach the bushes | The author starts sprinting from here. | Do not infer permanent invisibility or silence from reaching cover. |

Plan the prologue in passes
Challenge tracking checklist
- Write the exact goal.Paraphrases can hide an important distinction such as “alerted” versus “attacked.”
- Use a clean attempt.Restart the prologue when a previous run has already changed the NPC state or route.
- Keep story and cleanup separate.Story completion, stealth, and full-clear goals may pull you in opposite directions.
- Capture a non-registering result.Save the platform, difficulty, challenge wording, and the moment the result should have appeared.
Steam reports: Prologue Challenge 5
Player reports do not agree on one universal trigger, but they do give a useful reproduction path. Some players describe the first guard's pathing as unreliable; others report that the no-seen condition only counted when the guard was handled before the detection indicator turned yellow or red. Another report describes a blank result after skipping the final cutscene. Treat these as community leads and finish the full result flow before deciding that the challenge is broken.
| Community lead | Safe test | Evidence state |
|---|---|---|
| First guard pathing | Repeat from a clean prologue and note whether the guard behaves differently before the objective fails. | Player report |
| No-seen condition | Keep the detection indicator from turning yellow or red, then complete the chapter normally. | Unverified lead |
| Blank result | Do not skip the final cutscene or result flow; check the challenge panel after returning to the menu. | Player report |
Prologue FAQ
How many prologue challenges are there?
Current public guides list six. Because the official launch materials do not provide the complete checklist in the patch post, keep the count labeled as a guide-sourced lead until verified in-game.
Can I complete every prologue challenge in one run?
Do not plan around that. Some challenge types point toward opposite behaviors, so separate replays are the more reliable way to test them.
Why did my prologue challenge not count?
Patch 1.0.1 includes tracking fixes, but current reports can still be platform- or goal-specific. Repeat the exact condition once, then preserve the failure as a versioned report.
