Any bets on what sorts of gasses would even be in that amount to start the whole facility to shake that much?

I was going to jokingly post that Markku is the worst urbexer there is, but then he almost blew the place up.

That shaking was from the rave club, you can tell thanks to the music and pyrotechnics.

It was also very fortunate that the one of the few things that were working was the emergency stop button.

Oh Marrku - so many batteries for you to pick up and so little pocket space to carry them. Though that would explain why you can't perform even simple physical activities like swimming in shallow water, jumping more than 6 inches off the ground or holding your breath for 5 seconds. The weight of what must now be hundreds of batteries (because you're not just chucking the dead ones anywhere, right? Right!?) makes getting around so labour intensive you can barely move. On a more serious note I was wondering how long it would take before you noticed the group of pines growing in the ladle in the second hall - what you didn't notice though is that they are growing in the solid steel left over from when the plan closed ~40 years prior. Never mind the ones growing in the concrete floor, those are some hearty loving pine trees... The musical numbers in this level were a bit odd as well; gave the impression that we were in the midst of the apocalypse when we were just wandering around an abandoned steel mill. Though I guess if you went wandering around the rust belt you'd probably think the world had ended, too.

What the hell is all this machinery doing here? I mean, this place is hooked up to the rail network. Even if they couldn't find another buyer for it intact, I'm sure it'd be worth enough in scrap value alone to be worth clearing the place out during the bankruptcy period. I'd also complain about the place being on the power and gas lines, but I think we can safely say that absolutely everyone involved in infrastructure in this place is completely incompetent and wouldn't even think to notice a little thing like massive power/gas leaks tied to the old abandoned factory.

I'm guessing all the creditors were happy with selling out the inventory of rolled steel and clearing out the offices. Besides, scrapping the industrial equipment itself is a remarkably complex and challenging task.

Yeah IMO those musical numbers really work, INFRA has a decent soundtrack when it wants to, they are just used on a really bad level.

Summer Car Center is actually a reference to a farcical event that was the Sunny Car Center's attempt at actually becoming a thing. Long story short, the businessman leading a project meant to be the largest car dealership in all of Europe managed to lose 150 000 € to a Nigerian prince scam. The people who were planning on selling the land backed out when they heard this so basically the only thing that resulted from it was a very tall advertising pole that stood in Hämeenlinna for a while becoming a distinctive landmark and a source of comedy amongst all of Finland for a few years while the business man responsible went bankrupt owing a lot of money to a lot of other people. Incidentally, the people who made INFRA also happened to have their offices in the same building as our heroic idiot of a businessman who fell for the most basic of scams. As for the pole, it is dismantled now but it still lives in memories and memes.

I believe the key just opens a door in the same room that skips part of the box puzzle to get out. Also I should note there are more phone numbers ingame with unique responses on them. Several are listed right next to the phone.

I cannot recommend INFRA strongly enough. There are very few games like it.quote:INFRA is possibly the best puzzle/exploration game I've played-and I've played them all. I've played through part 1 about five times now and I keep finding new secrets, puzzles and alternative routes. Discendo Vox fucked around with this message at 01:29 on Oct 3, 2018 |

Eh I know I felt some fear in the segments, largely because of the environment. In the factory for example, I keep expecting the ceiling to collapse on our heads during the videos due to how run-down the area is. Logically I know it's not going to happen, but instinctively there's the anticipation in the risk of being squished or buried alive.

I happen to live near an abandoned factory like you see here, but for me it's mostly just a brutalist edifice that I drive by when going anywhere. And unlike in INFRA, this real factory is slowly being torn down and drained of its heavy metals. It's fascinating to see that kind of deliberate industrial decay in progress.

Is that what that key is for? I could never actually find that padlock, though I must admit I didn't look hard, as I was eager to put the steel factory behind me for all the reasons elucidated. Boy, I love eating things in this game, it's a trip. And the little "I spy" game in the water treatment office; you got to have some fun when making a game. resurgam40 fucked around with this message at 15:40 on Oct 4, 2018 |

"Someone should get that fixed" Markku says to himself as he chokes to death on poison gas. Our guy here is too good for a little B&E but has no problem eating strange meat that's been sitting on a counter for god knows how long, and also doesn't quite understand the concept of holding your breath or wafting.
