Office: Difference between revisions

The regional office for [[National Consulting Group]] in Stalburg, located in the Alcista Building. Office is the first map of ''INFRA'', and introduces the protagonist, [[Markku Siltanen]] and his objectives throughout the game.  

 

[[Markku Siltanen|Mark]] wakes up in the NCG meeting room and is greeted by his boss, Paul Lauwens and his other co-workers, Carla, Amit, and Steve. Paul holds a briefing to review Stalburg's corruption scandal in 2015, NCG's acquisition of deals for maintenance of Stalburg's infrastructure, and their assignment to survey these keys areas for damage. After the meeting, Mark collects his equipment from his office, descending to the lobby while witnessing some of the malfunctioning electrical equipment in the Alcista building. He can also choose to listen to a number of conversations foreshadowing later events of the game. This also serves as an introduction to some of the game's puzzle mechanics. After picking up keys for the Hammer Valley and Bergmann tunnel area from reception, Mark exits the building via the company car in the basement carpark for Hammer Valley.

 

The Alcista Building is a series of grouped mixed-use office buildings located in Downtown Stalburg. The [[National Consulting Group]] is headquartered in the 'A' Building of the complex, which contains a large atrium, multiple conference rooms and private offices, a sauna, a restaurant, and an underground parking garage.

 

 

Office has gone through a variety of changes throughout development, with numerous versions being created. The aesthetic of the building has been changed on multiple occasions, and the layout of the building has been changed numerous times. Early screenshots show Mark's personal office with a significantly more open design, and is shown as being directly connected to surrounding areas. The atrium area also did not exist in earlier builds, and was instead replaced by a small outdoor courtyard located on the third floor. This also resulted in the original lobby area having a much lower ceiling.
