The final monitor in Slaughterhouse is giving me trouble. Rolling through the cameras doesn’t seem to work. Was I supposed to not trigger the NULL test?

"Feline Persuasion", the achievement for petting the cat repeatedly until it leaves, happens in the screen right after the "Don't hang up! " achievement, in chapter 1. It's the third screen of the game.

Ok, it did work. I just needed to redo a portion of the level until the "save" sign appeared.

If I killed Administrator in Hotel and didn't choose the right option... do I need to go back to hotel, do things right and play the whole damn thing until Bunker, or I can just jump to the Bunker right away after *fixing/ Hotel?
