  5. You have to be for yourself and no one else to survive. If u want to help a friend, you cant because it will ruin your chances of surviving yourself!

    If I'm ever in that situation, I'm leaving all my friends behind!

  9. In the game I found that it is very difficult to find a hiding place in a bordering country. People rejected you, the church was closed, and you had no money. If you made the wrong decision there was a risk of being killed or arrested.
