I Am Alive Walkthrough

One year after a worldwide cataclysmic event has wiped out most of human civilization, a man struggles for survival. Faced with an insecure, decaying, and hazardous world, he scours a desolated city, searching for his long lost wife and daughter. Survive the suffocating, murky streets covered in dust. Climb the teetering remains of the last standing skyscrapers to reach breathable air and find untouched resources. Explore the crumbling ruins of a once-thriving metropolis. And discover a changed human condition, punctuated by distrustful survivors, dangerous armed gangs, and victims in need.

This I Am Alive walkthrough is played in normal mode. In normal mode you will get more resources and ammo. Every time the game saves, you will be guaranteed to have a minimum of 3 Retries. In this mode, certain achievements and score bonuses will not unlock.

Episode 1: Prologue

Find a way to your old apartment.

Note: Some characters are simply protecting their territory. Some others are more aggressive and will look for trouble. Think twice before equipping your weapon.

Tip: Surprising enemies is a good strategy for surviving. When an enemy is intimidated near a hole or a fire, you can push him in by pressing the X button when you’re close to him. For example, when you’re facing several enemies don’t equip your gun, instead let them approach and attack by surprising them with the X button, and you might get a “Surprise Kill” prompt that way. When you are facing several enemies, take the time to locate the ones with guns. They are the most dangerous.

Episode 2: Home Sweet Home & Mei

Search the apartment. Your wife’s letter is on the wooden stand next to the TV set.
After that you have to help out a cute little girl under attack from 3 mean men with guns.

Hint: Helping victims with resources is rewarded by an additional Retry.

Episode 3: Dust Bowl Dance

Take Mei to the mall before the dust storm hits the city. Then take Mei to the safe area. And then go to the lookout point on the 6th floor.

Tip: Always have an eye on your stamina capacity bar in the top-left of your screen. If it is low, open inventory with the LB left shoulder button and use resources.

Episode 4: Above the Clouds

It’s a loooong climb to the rooftop. Once there, your objective is to get medicine from the crate.

Tip: When in heavy dust, your stamina will continue to burn… until death. If you stay in the fog too long, both your stamina and your health will deplete. So climb above the fog to find a resting point and regain stamina.

Episode 5: Surrender

Tip: When approaching you, most characters will not attack if you: don’t run or don’t equip your weapon.
