The White Chamber Anniversary Edition

Karma

There are multiple different endings to this game. Some will end the game prematurely, and some will become available depending upon your Karma level at the game's completion (based on a starting Karma of 1).

When there are opportunities to gain or lose Karma, these are highlighted in the walkthrough below. You can view your current Karma level by looking at the number of marks on the blackboard in the left of the Research Room.

The Karma-based endings and associated achievements are summarized in the final sections.

• Redemption: 44415441, DATA
• Damned: 30303130, 0010
• Tormented: 2E4F4747, .OGG
• Comedy: 2E5A4950, .ZIP

• .ZIP
• REDOPERA

Go into the game files (outside the game itself), find the file called "DATA0010.ogg" and rename it to "DATA0010.zip". Open this with any zip program and extract the "TokenRedemption.mp3" file with the password REDOPERA. Listen to this audio file. It refers to the operative as RED. If you remember the 4 emails from the left computer in the computer room in the game, they had red letters that spelled the word OPEN.
