You choose to talk to Alex. She tells you that she's been in The Compound for a few days and has managed to gather some information. She mentions that there's a "game" going on, where inmates can earn rewards by completing tasks. However, she warns you that some inmates are not what they seem.

At the briefing, a figure in a black suit and sunglasses appears on the TV screen. He explains that The Compound is a social experiment designed to test the limits of human behavior.
