About Where It All Began
Where It All Began invites you into a rich, immersive world as an interactive visual novel that marks the beginning of an expansive universe.
It’s a journey of reconnection, healing, and triumph over past traumas, all while navigating the rise of a criminal empire.
At its core, the game explores essential themes like mental health, ambition, and the power of love. The narrative shines through its meticulous worldbuilding, deep interpersonal connections, and an unforgettable cast of characters.
In Where It All Began, you’ll face the challenges of forgiveness, rekindle lost relationships, and find yourself entangled in a high-stakes world of romance, loyalty, and underworld intrigue.
Every choice you make weaves a story of self-discovery, passion, and transformation.

Walkthrough & Guide
Walkthrough v0.5: FILEKNOT - ANONZIP
Uncut Edition Mod: FILEKNOT - ANONZIP
Uncut Taboo Edition Mod: FILEKNOT - ANONZIP
Uncut Edition Mod Installation:
Choose which edition to download, unzip the file and merge the content of the unzipped folder ("game") with the "game" subfolder of your Where it All Began season 1 folder.
To uninstall the mod, remove the "gui", "Benutzerdefiniert", "Season1" and "images" folders.
Features (both "Uncut" and "Uncut Taboo" editions):
There were no complete scenes left on the cutting floor, but some isolated renders were reintroduced throughout all four chapters to date (some were still bundled with the game files but not used in the script, others have been restored, and a few have also been Photoshopped to address rendering issues).
The introduction cinematic (ending with the game title) has been restored. Some renders used in the game were "cleaned" as they featured a "leaf" emblem leading to bonus renders but that feature has not yet been implemented by Ocean.
The key focus of the Uncut Edition for WiAB though was (as it was for the latest revision of SG Uncut Edition) to rewrite the whole game dialog to have it flow more naturally while preserving all aspects of the story and character dynamics. It now just "feels right". That's the intent, at least...
The main menu has been given the same overall look'n'feel than the one for SG. All chapters also feature end titles with a simple text display showing « End of chapter xx », again to bring the game and SG to the same level of finish.
Steam achievements are preserved.
Note: there were no changes incorporated into the replay gallery as it hasn't been updated by Ocean for either Chapter 3 or Chapter 4 releases, and a full revamp is due when the next chapter releases.

The android file is not a zip. The file itself WiAB_Chapter_2.apk. So you dont need to extracting.
I just rename it, because it said in the last apk. Zip and I remove zip and it work thank you
Is the game finished? or is it abandoned?
This game is ongoing.
bruh, ads web page is broken, counter doesn’t want to work. Is this scam?
No Scam. The Counter is broken. It has been reported to the Staff already 🙂 Just keep cool
Please update walkthrough
We have fixed it.
What does the unofficial fixed do?
The new updated version only has incest patch. Unofficial fixes in previous version or in any game generally fixes bugs and stuffs.
So if we have a fresh install of the 0.4a version it already has the incest patch and we dont need to add the incest patch to the game files??
Incest patch added.
