Far away in a year unheard of, Korski is about to finish his last transport and then he will be released. Years of punishment have been worked off in labor camp on cold lonely Mars haven't been easy for Korski, and they aren't going to be in easing up any time soon in Waxwing Games' free, indie, sci-fi point-and-click game. In fact, things are about to get much, much worse. At first, Korski just needs to finish the job, but then he needs everything he has, and of course anything and everything he can pick up along the way, to keep himself alive. Camp 1 is a classic retro style puzzle adventure with a small color palette. Yet this slower paced but still captivating game will probably be one of the most beautiful adventures you'll play this month, even if it takes place on a frozen barren planet, and its dark story will keep you locked in even if the art doesn't.
Any items you can click on to interact in some way with will have their name pop up when you are in their hotspot, though some of these are small. With a pixelated look and the basic color pallets, it's easy to miss needed items and even locations you can travel to. You can't move on without the necessary pieces to solve future puzzles, so no worries about losing the game that way. To put it simply, unless you are overly thorough you're going to need a lot of patience with yourself. Don't be afraid to click on things more than once, since examining some items a few times can get different results and always try everything with everything.
With some of the puzzles a little bit of a logical stretch and the many times I know you're going to be stuck for a while you may wonder why I'm recommending this game. Well, what issues may seem like a deal breaker to some become minuscule compared to the story, the characters, and the perfect feel of the grand old days of point-and-click adventures. No matter how frustrated you may get you will always come back to complete the story. Even though Korski is in a position none of us will probably ever find ourselves, you'll be connected fullheartedly to a man you know so little about. Even though you'll be lost a bit more than you'd like, you won't regret playing this dark tale of isolation and mystery that is called Camp 1.

Walkthrough
Icarus
First, we need the key for the Pallet Jack. Left click on it to see that it’s locked and then talk to Adwa to get the key. Send the Jack forward, into the cargo ship and then forward again, to put it under the boxes. Lift and right click on the boxes to get that form.
The first person to give the form is Parker, who will politely tell you that there is a pen on the desk. Give the form to Adwa, then to Chen who’s inside the ship. Sign it yourself and talk to Adwa again. Go inside the ship and attempt to take off. There will be a problem with the coordinates, so go talk to Parker about it. You’re good to go.
The Road to Nineveh
Once you wake up, grab the metal bar next to the boxes. Use it to open the locker. Put on the suit and look for the barely visible “something shiny” under the door - https://jayisgames.com/images/Something-shiny.jpg . Right click on the Hinge to get a Washer out of it. You will also find a Headset on one of the windshields.
Use the washer on the red panels at the door. Right click on the screen and go to the page that says “Individual Bolt Status”. Click on it and go back to the panels on the door. Turn the knobs and after each turn take a look at the screen. Rotate until all the lights are green and the door will open.
Once outside, click on the debris below you to find a socket. Use the pipe to dig into the mound on the left side and grab the antenna. Combine the antenna with the socket and the headset and go back inside. Click on the screen again and open the lid. Insert the antenna into the socket. Click on the screen to try and send a signal. Once you’ve talked to Parker, go back outside and click on the very right side of the screen. You’ll see the communication mast in the distance. Click on it to get going
Rig Puzzle
Go inside the rig and open the small panel on the left side. Rotate the magnet to the other side, lower it and turn it on. Lift and then press the “Calibrate Gyro” button. Lower again, turn off the magnet and go to the counterweight. Right below the counterweight, you’ll find a “pin” which isn’t visible - https://jayisgames.com/images/Pin.jpg . Use the pipe to remove it and get back on the rig. The magnet should be lowered and rotated to the side of the counterweight. Once this is done, simply turn on the magnet and it will pull out the counterweight. Rotate to the other side, lower and again turn on the magnet. Finally, lift until the rig falls off and walk on the crane arm to get to the other side.
Riddles
Go inside the closest tent, where Parker was in the beginning. Go to the right to find her and get a key from her.
Filtering Mask
Go to Parker’s computer and check her notes. In the second one, you’ll find an assembly chart for the filter. Each number represents a different part. The “Edit” added to the note also states that 447 needs to be there as well. Check the papers below the desk to find out which parts the numbers correspond to (keep in mind that 11448 and 11449 must be swapped).
The final result should look like this:
Cap, Casing, Filter, Membrane, Sensor, Filter, Membrane, Filter, Cap
Once you have the new filtering mask and can go outside, visit the very next tent on the right. Use Parker’s key to unlock her locker and take the manual. From the laundry, a wire can be taken and under the bunk a magazine can be found. “Oily Stallions” is part of Chen’s computer password, which will be needed in the future. Inside the toilet, grab the hose from the back and try to exit the tent.
Go to the screen next to the door and then back to the heater. Adwa will talk to you and explain why he’s keeping the door locked.
Getting out of the tent
In order to get out of the tent, go to the control panel on the front door. Turn the heat all the way up and exit, then again turn it all the way down and the wall will crack open.
Go out and into the tent on the right, where the generators are. Use the manual on the generators to get some additional info. Grab the metal shears from the tool box and use the washer to open the box on the right, then use the manual on it.
Use the shears to cut the hose (back from the toilet) and put it inside the box. Click on the hose next to the box to put it in and start assembling the ones inside. The end result should look like this – https://jayisgames.com/images/Hoses.jpg . Finally, use the manual on the display in order to restart the generators.
Go behind the tent on the right and look inside the bin to find a radio, then go back to the first tent. Once inside, grab a screwdriver and pliers from the tools. Use the screwdriver on the radio to disassemble it. Examine the mask on the wall and use the pliers to remove the old circuit, then replace it.
Logging into Chen’s account
If you take a look at Parker’s notes, you’ll find that Chen’s password is a combination of her tag number and her magazine “Oily Stallions” (back from her bed). Her tag number can be found within Parker’s messages and it’s 114-0-108. Put together, the login and password should look like this:
Login: Chen 1140108, Password: 1140108oilystallions.
Once you’ve went through Chen’s files, go to the mask and talk to Adwa.
Go to the mast and use the shears to loosen the ice below the control box. Grab whatever it is inside the lump of ice and head back inside the tent with the cracked wall. After the conversation with Chen, go to the toilet and drop the lump of ice inside to incinerate it. Go behind the tent and combine the pipe with the wire and the battery. Use the newly made magnet on the bin to find the key to the control box.
Go to the mast and use the key on the control box. After you’ve found out that you need a new fuse, go to the tent with the toilet again. Grab the fuse from the fridge and attempt to replace it inside the control box (use shears to take off the old one).
Once that fails, go back to the tent where Parker is. Use the fuse with the jar of needles to fix it and go back to place it again.
Switches puzzle
Right click on the fuses to see the number you need for each row.
The switches have three positions: Up – negative; Middle – neutral; Down – positive. The sum in each row must be equal to the number on the fuse. The end result should look like this – https://jayisgames.com/images/Switches.jpg .
Go to the garage at the back of the locked tent. Examine the snow mobile and you’ll notice that four spark plugs are missing. Those are quite tricky to find as they are not visible on the screen.
Spark Plugs locations: https://jayisgames.com/images/Spark1.jpg , https://jayisgames.com/images/Spark23.jpg , https://jayisgames.com/images/Spark4.jpg . Simply walk over the location and the magnet will pick up the plug.
Starting the Snow Mobile
Use the Flex Winders to give some power and give it another try. Go back to the generators tent and click on the display. Go to the [Output] menu. In order to turn the power in Tent 2 back on, turn it off for another random tent (all 4 tents cannot have power at the same time). The snow mobile will now start.
Answers
Open the pack box on the side of your snow mobile and take the flare gun from the first aid kit. Grab a lump of ice and shoot a flare in the sky. Once Chen gets up, throw the lump of ice in her face and quickly shoot at her with the flare gun.
Enjoy the ending.
