While it is his government-mandated job to achieve all tasks allocated to him by the ministry and report any infractions, that doesn't mean he can't try his best to be a good person. Anti-Villain: Carl, if you play him that way."Trainee mode" roughly slashes the cost of most quests, fines and bills in half making it much easier to complete the game in the way you'd prefer.The game features forms with many fields that must be filled out 100% accurately otherwise you will be fined - but you are able to double-check the info you have entered is correct by using the various information menus during the report-writing process.This does not extend to the menus for writing reports/profiles or buying items, however.While talking with NPCs time freezes so that you do not have to rush through the dialogue to avoid wasting time.If a fine has been issued and you haven't paid it before the timer expires, a prompt will appear to give you one last chance to pay it just in case you managed to make the money in time but were not quick enough to get to the payment screen.The game saves every time you finish a quest and allows you to load these saves at any time, allowing you to try again if you miss a really crucial deadline or don't have enough money in time for a bill.This saves wasted time in a game where there are always looming deadlines. You do not need to be in the monitoring room to be able to observe what is happening through your surveillance cameras.This saves the player from having to trudge back and forth between monitoring room and apartments while deadlines are constantly looming. Acceptable Breaks from Reality: Carl does not need to be in front of his monitoring station in order to observe his tenants through the surveillance cameras.
