Customers belong to different groups, and the game asks you to judge both the person and the goods they bring. Here are the group names found in the demo and the customer habits stated in its guide. A group name by itself does not prove a customer is dangerous.

This page uses text found in the installed game files and checks the broader game description against the official Steam demo page. The game files show what an item or guide says; they do not prove that every customer behaves the same way.

What the official listing says

PropertyRecorded value
Security visitorsThe official demo description says a customer could be a Security officer looking for evidence. It does not give a complete checklist for identifying one.
Revolutionary visitorsThe official demo description says a customer could be a revolutionary looking for leverage. It does not state that every revolutionary behaves the same way.
Fallen elitesThe official demo description says a fallen elite may be testing whether your shop is useful to them.

Practical tip

PropertyRecorded value
How to use these cluesTreat these as clues, not guarantees. The words “usually,” “typically,” and “often” mean a habit can have exceptions. Check the person and the merchandise before making a decision.

Water customers

PropertyRecorded value
Water ScavengerThis customer asks for Basewater and says Ghostwater is acceptable too. Their dialogue says they have a limited number of credits and need water before leaving.
Water ShopperThis customer asks for Basewater or High-Quality Water and states their available credits.
Water StockpilerThis customer is filling a stockpile for an Upper Level client and requires High-Quality or Pure Water. Their dialogue says they carry water testing strips.
Water sellersThe installed game has separate water seller setups for a water company, a scavenger selling water, a dishonest scavenger water seller, and an honest water seller. Honest seller dialogue can identify the offered supply as Basewater, Ghostwater, or Rustwater. A dishonest scavenger says they need cash quickly and offers a discount for buying the whole lot; check the actual water quality rather than relying on the pitch.
