======================================
   I. Introduction
======================================

It seems like most people who play "Disaster Report"
choose to stay with Karen throughout the game. No
mystery there; she's cute and helpless. But when I
finished the game the first time, I went back and tried
the alternate path. I couldn't find a walkthrough for
that, so here is the walkthrough for it.

For more info on the game, consult the excellent
walkthrough by TestaALT at Gamefaqs.com.

To go straight to a section of this walkthrough
quickly, use the Find/Search function on your
word processor and enter the three-letter code
listed after each name in the contents.

The critical moment in the game occurs at the end of
Girard Street, after escaping from the collapsing
construction site. Greg gives you the choice of
going with Karen to rescue her dog or continuing
to the amusement park. Choose to go to the park,
get ready to feel really bad over Karen's
disappointment, then move on. On this journey,
you'll meet Kelly Austin who is looking for her
little brother, Jason.

======================================
   II. Walkthrough
======================================

[ 1. Capital District ]

(CAP) Walk forward a bit and you'll see a bicycle
leaning against a fence. Get on the bicycle by
pressing X next to it and ride it through the
hole in fence onto the street. Ride around the
fallen truck to the end of the street and turn right.

You'll see a portion of the street filled with mud.
Ride through the muddy river, around and/or over the
broken pavement, until you reach a flooded car
dealership. From here, the bicycle is useless. Get
off the bike. Be sure to pick up the water filter
on one of the tables in the room. There will be
another aftershock, but nothing serious.

climb up onto the staircase in the dealership and
keep going up until Keith gets to a car that's sticking
out of a broken window. There's another broken window
in front of it. Climb through that window onto the
fallen building outside.

Walk down the fallen tower until you get to a broken
window. Drop through the window and keep going forward
until Keith gets to the street. Turn left and walk around
the corner.

[ 2. Amusement Park ]

(AMP) You'll see the amusement park straight ahead
of you. If Keith needs water, go down to the
intersection and turn right. Head all the way to the
end, and you'll find a water fountain for saves/
drinking/refills.

Head south to the park's fence and walk east along
it until you get to a crashed bus and car. The bus
knocked a hole in the fence that will take you into
the park, but there's a sign jutting across the
path, blocking the gate. Before you go through the
hole in the fence, first walk past it to the other
side of the crashed car. There's the sign sticking
out. Get on the eastern side of the sign and press X.
Keith will push the sign out of the way. Now go back
and walk through the hole in the fence. Walk east
and click X to push open the gate and enter the park.

Head straight south to get to rows of submerged
lockers. There are numbers written on the ends of
the rows, and Keith will also tell you which
rows are which. Find lockers 101-120. Use the locker
key in your inventory in front of them. That will
get you Greg's files.

Now head west to the teacup ride, where you'll find
Kelly Austin trapped under it. Climb up into it, and
you'll trigger an aftershock that will cause it to
collapse. Make your way around the cups until you get
to Kelly, and press X to push the debris off Kelly.
Once you do, another aftershock will open a hole
in the fence that Keith can run through and escape.
Congratulations, Kelly is now on your team.

There's a sun visor on one of the tables with umbrellas
over them if you want it.

Head east across the park to a broken section that is
underwater and pouring water from some pipes. On the
way, you'll hear a news report.

The water coming out of the pipes is dirty, so Keith
can't drink it directly, but if you fill a bottle and
use a water purifier Keith can drink it if you need it.
You can also save the game here.

There are some swan boats in the water. Go up
to the open doorway of the intact boat and press X to
push it into the water and climb inside.

Hold down O to paddle the boat through the water and
head south. There will be another aftershock and the
ferris wheel will come down to smash up everything.
Stay where you are until it comes to a stop. Paddle
north through the wreckage until Keith passes a
submerged house and the path turns right. Head
straight down that path and bump into the curb
ahead of you.

[ 3. Residential District ]

(RES) Walk forward a bit, then hang on through another
aftershock. It will knock over a freeway overpass, so
be careful. Once it's over, head east towards the
stairs leading to the elevated platform. When Keith
walks on the patch of pavement in front of the platform,
an aftershock will break it off and tilt it, so hang
on so Keith doesn't fall off.

Go up the stairs and walk along the platform until
you get to the broken end. Jump down onto the truck
on the level below. An aftershock will cause the
truck to tip over. You can run and jump off before
it falls ,but Kelly will be unable to follow you.

Walk to the stairs to the northeast and climb to the
top, where it leans against a series of rooftops.
Walk east along the rooftops until Keith can drop down
to the other side. Head south to where a van and
another car are hanging off the edge. Press X at the
base of the car and that will push it over to make
a bridge for Kelly to cross on. Head back the way you
came to the street again.

There is a water fountain northeast in the
ruins of the subway platform. Use it if you need it.
Here comes a tough part.

Head north down the road between the houses. There
will be a massive quake that will start causing the
road to break up and collapse into the ocean. Run
down the road as fast as you can, climbing over the
broken pavement and jumping until you get to the
other side. Watch out for falling lightpoles and
trees. There is a first-aid kit halfway along on
the western side if you need it.

[ 4. Kelly's Neighborhood ]

(KEL) Once the quake is over, you'll end up in a
narrow path blocked off by houses. Kelly will
lead you east. Follow her through an alley into a
parking lot. She will lead you to a water truck,
where Keith can save/drink/refill.

Go to the car to your east parked next to a metal
awning. Climb onto the car and then onto the awning.
Jump over the fence to the other side and head west
to follow the alley around to the other side of
the house.

There is a metal cabinet to your east. Climb onto
the cabinet and then onto the rooftop in front of
it. Jump off the roof onto the ground.

There, Keith will meet Officer Jeff Burroughs. Once
he's finished, follow Kelly and she will lead you
east to her house.

Wait inside Kelly's house while she searches for
Jason. You can find a pair of glasses and the Apple
compass, if you want them.

There will be a sequence of waiting for Jason
outside. Once that's over, head north.

[ 5. Santa Katrina Hospital ]

(HOS) Keith will meet Eric Lu in a movie sequence,
then get taken to the hospital. Be sure to give
Doctor Patton Greg's file when you're given the
choice.

After that, go through the sequence of the rescue
helicopter arriving. You can either choose to stay
with Kelly or get on the helicopter.

If you choose to stay with Kelly, you'll be left
on the road surrounded by an ocean of mud. Head
north to the stairs and go up to the elevated
platform. The platform will collapse and quakes
and waves will knock you around a bit, so brace
yourself. Cross the platform to the rooftops and
head north, then east. While you're running,
watch out for falling cars that can crush you.

Once you get to the last rooftop, the house Keith
is standing on will break away and float down the
muddy seas. The house will float under a street
sign. Position Keith to avoid the sign that will
knock him off and crouch so that he avoids the other
signs hanging down.

The house will finally beach itself against a
staircase at the top of a department store. Go
up the staircase. There's a water fountain at the
top of the stairs if you need it.

A row of girders along the side of the building
will let Keith climb to the roof. Walk alongside the
roof and drop down to the east side by letting
Keith fall, hang on, and press X without
moving the joystick.

Go northeast to cross the ladder leaning against
the roof. After a few feet, the ladder will break
and Keith will fall through. He'll be left dangling
over the water and will have to cross the ladder
hand-over-hand on the underside. Cars will be
floating along the water that can knock Keith off.
Try to avoid them. You can also hold down the R2
button to make Keith swing his legs up and let the
cars float under him. Halfway along the ladder,
a house will break free and slam into the ladder.
You can't avoid it. You have to brace Keith to
keep from getting knocked off on impact. Once the
crash is over, keep going to the other side,
avoiding the last van floating at Keith.

Once you get to the other side of the ladder, it's
still not over. Keith and Kelly will end up on the
side of a fallen tower. A gas truck will break
free and slide down the wall towards him. Run east
towards the car at the base of four girders.
Climb onto the car and up the four girders. At
the top, brace yourself. The truck will hit the
girders, but keep sliding down and you'll be
safe.

After that, you'll go the Town Crier newspaper
and the game continues almost exactly the same,
except Kelly will replace Karen. The only major
difference is that you'll find Jason in the
rescue boat at Windrunner Park. If you want to
finish the game with Kelly, then choose to go with
her at May Stadium when Greg asks which woman
you want to escort. It doesn't have much of an
impact on the rest of the game, though.

Thanks to TestaALT for the more comprehensive
walkthrough for this game. Also thanks to Agetec
for a truly unique and enjoyable game.

By the way, if you go with Kelly, then Karen
gets jealous. What's up with that? Kelly's only
17 according to the manual and looks 14. I guess
I'm not the target audience for this game,
because I didn't have the hots for Kelly at all.
I prefer women of legal age.
