[Walkthrough] The Blackwell Convergence (Spoiler-free!)

This walkthrough only contains the basic actions you need to do in order to finish the game. You are highly encouraged to explore the game on your own, as the story is great and writing in this game is wonderful, exploring every single dialog option available is the best way to experience it fully. Keep in mind that you can control two characters at any time in this game, so observing something from both perspectives might provide you with interesting answers. Don't forget, you can't die in this game, so go nuts!
