The Genesis Order drops you into a detective's shoes, hands you a shovel, and then politely refuses to let you touch half the things on screen. If you want a clean The Genesis Order walkthrough, you are in the right place. This guide covers the Part 1 route, every code you will need, the Angel Craft recipes, and the stat grind that opens the locked stuff. I kept it spoiler light and added a few jokes, because fetch quests deserve gentle mockery. The game is strictly for adults 18 and over. Grab your badge and open your inventory.
⚡ Quick Answer
The Genesis Order is a gated point and click adventure, so follow the clues in order: meet Ariana at the church, receive the Oracle for hints, buy gym gear and a shovel, craft tools through Angel Craft, and use the codes 102, 142, 169, 462 and 215 when each lock appears.
What Is The Genesis Order and Who Is It For?
The Genesis Order is an adult adventure game from NLT Media. It reached Steam in early access in September 2023 and continues the story world of Lust Epidemic and Treasure of Nadia. You play a junior detective in North Santiva who solves cases, digs up artifacts and meets a large cast of women along the way. You can find the game on its Steam store page.
Here is the thing most newcomers miss. It looks like an open world, but it behaves like a highly gated point and click game. You will see a chest, a wall or a door, and the game will say "not yet" until you own the right tool, stat or key. Once you accept that, the whole design clicks. Every guide, including this one, is really a list of "what unlocks what."
📊 Key Stat: The game introduces 13 new female characters, and a tight Part 1 run through the opening chapters still lasts about 93 minutes of pure gameplay with no dawdling.
How Do You Start The Genesis Order Without Getting Lost?
The opening is a guided tour. You start at the police office, get caught goofing off by Melissa, and chat with your coworker David. Then you head to Evelyn Cathedral Church and meet Chloe, Father Brian and Sister Judy. This is the most important stop of the early game, because you also meet the angel Ariana and receive the Oracle.
💡 Pro Tip: Open your inventory and find the Oracle. You can ask Ariana for hints whenever you are stuck, which is basically a built in walkthrough that cannot judge you.
After the church, you go home and meet Heather, who hands over the house keys. Next come the Race Farm (hello, Hannah), the Viking Mansion where you investigate Lillian, and Erica's apartment, where you take Erica to the police station. A dinner at Heather's with Carol and Hannah follows, and then you wander into Tasha's shop. That shop becomes your supply hub for the rest of Part 1.
What Is the Best Order to Play The Genesis Order Part 1?
You can wander, but this order wastes the least time. It follows the natural unlock chain of tools, money and stats.
- Grab early cash and car fobs: Check the area near the strip center. A man pays you $200 for an early errand.
- Buy a shovel and gym gear: The shop sells both. If an item does not appear in the active window, check your inventory.
- Dig in the forest: Unearth treasures, then sell the artifacts to Jonathan at the warehouse.
- Solve the Channel 4 shirt riddle: It pays out in intelligence and clues.
- Join the gym: The membership costs $20. Collect the dumbbell and jump shoes while you are there.
- Rescue Chloe and find the ringing cable recipe: Explore the left side of the church.
- Craft your tools: The ringing cable first, then the machete once you find a handle and sharpeners.
- Fix the tractor: Gather the drive shaft, bearings and rubber boots, then repair the farm tractor.
- Clear the police station quiz: Answer correctly for a $100 reward, then beat the basketball minigame with grease.
- Unlock the mansion's secret stairs: Use the mysterious keys, then activate the first gargoyle statues.
- Work the upper tiers: Craft the hatchet, glass pan and holy water bomb, then fix the church roof leaks.
- Finish with the caves: Use the blowtorch and explosives, harvest honeycomb, and place wireless transmitters for Kimberly.
What Are All the Codes and Passwords in The Genesis Order?
This is the section most people scroll for, so here is the lookup table. Every code is three digits, which is the game's way of saying "we trust your memory."
| Code | Where It Works | How You Find It |
|---|---|---|
| 102 | Melissa's computer | It matches her condo number. Use a lockpick on her office first. |
| 142 | Burner flip phone | Unlocked around the Viking Mansion dinner with Lillian. |
| 169 | Police station secret room or safe | Appears after you package goods for the police front yard. |
| 462 | Old chapel safe | Enter it to secure the artifact segment after gluing the chapel key halves. |
| 215 | Father Brian's room code pad | Used while fixing the church roof leaks. |
| L, 1, How up, 3, 102, Waterfall | Police station quiz | The answer sequence for the officer's questions. Match by meaning if wording differs. |
How Much Money Do You Make and What Should You Buy First?
Cash comes from small errands, treasure sales and a couple of big one time jobs. Here are the numbers worth tracking.

| Item or Reward | Amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Strip center errand reward | $200 | Easy early money |
| Gym membership | $20 (cost) | Unlocks strength training |
| Police station quiz reward | $100 | Also gives intelligence |
| Channel 4 junk bag cleanup | $2,000 | The biggest single payday in Part 1 |
| Guard bribe | $50 (cost) | Needs 5 or more intelligence |
| Metal detector | Quoted near $3,000 | Confirm the price on the shop shelf |
💡 Pro Tip: My spending order is shovel, gym gear and membership, then crafting parts, and only then luxury items. Treasure digging pays for everything else, and home decor can wait until the story is done.
Which Items Can You Craft With Angel Craft?
Angel Craft is the game's crafting system, and it replaces half of your wallet. These are the recipes that matter in Part 1.
- Ringing cable: Built from cable and wire parts, found while rescuing Chloe in the church.
- Machete: A dull blade, a handle from Heather's backyard and sharpeners from Larry at the gym. It chops forest and church paths.
- Aloe lotion: Aloe plants plus base materials, after breaking walls with the hammer shell.
- Hatchet: A hatchet head and a wood handle. It cuts wood obstacles in the mansion.
- Grippy shoes: Old shoes plus rubber soles, required to fix the roof leaks.
- Glass pan: Repairs the church windows.
- Holy water bomb: Holy water and a container, used on the tougher obstacles.
- Chest key: Two broken key halves plus glue. Keep spare glue.
- Seeds of strength and knowledge: Permanent stat boosts, covered below.
There is also one cheeky adult themed recipe that the game plays purely for laughs. It does not block progress.
How Do You Raise Strength and Intelligence in The Genesis Order?
Stats are the real gatekeepers. A cave wall or a guard will check a number, and no amount of clicking will help if you skipped the gym.
Strength
Join the gym, then collect the three dumbbells scattered around the map. Craft the seed of strength through Angel Craft and consume it for a permanent bump. A second seed shows up near the end of Part 1.
Intelligence
Gather old books and essences of intelligence. Combine three old books with an essence, then craft the seed of knowledge. Quiz answers and the Channel 4 riddle also feed this stat, which pays off when the guard bribe asks for 5 or more intelligence.
Where Are the Gargoyle Statues, Caves and Hidden Items?
The first set of gargoyles opens after you reach the secret basement under the Viking Mansion with the mysterious keys. More statues unlock later through the gym locker keys, and a blowtorch arrives as part of that chain. Late in Part 1 you use the blowtorch and explosives to clear cave rock walls, harvest honeycomb for the bear guard, and place wireless transmitters for Kimberly.
⚠️ Important: Hidden wall items do not sparkle. If a room feels suspiciously empty, click every wall segment before you assume you missed a key. Part 1 also ends on a cliffhanger, so do not panic when the story stops mid sentence.
What Did I Learn From My Own Run?
When I first played through the opening hours, I burned a whole evening because I bought a shovel and then stared at an empty item window. I assumed the purchase failed. In my experience, the game was simply hiding it in my inventory until I used it. I also kept running past the Oracle, then felt silly when I realized Ariana will happily hand out hints for free. I noticed that every time I got stuck, the answer was a tool, a stat or a key I had not crafted yet, never a clever trick.

Here is my own take. The Genesis Order rewards players who plan loops, not wanderers. Visit a location, note every locked object you cannot touch, and carry that list into the gym, the shop and the forest. By the time you return, one new item usually clears three blockers at once. That mindset turns the endless fetching into a surprisingly neat puzzle chain.
What Do Most Guides Skip About The Genesis Order?
Most walkthroughs skip the deep puzzle mechanics, the post game sandbox and any alternate routes through the romance paths. They also rarely explain what to spend early cash on, how to farm stats before a gate check, or how to move saves between Windows and Android. Those are the gaps worth watching as you play, and the good news is that the early game is forgiving. Finish the main story first, then spend leftover money on the nice extras.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to complete The Genesis Order?
A single Part 1 playthrough runs about 93 minutes when the player skips detours, but a real first run takes much longer. Between fetch quests, stat grinding, treasure hunting and puzzle gates, plan for many evenings. Completionists chasing every collectible and gallery scene need well beyond that.
Do I need to play Treasure of Nadia before The Genesis Order?
No. The Genesis Order tells its own detective story, so you can start fresh. Familiar faces like Tasha carry over from earlier NLT games, and those cameos land harder if you know them, but nothing in the plot locks you out. Treat the earlier games as bonus lore, not homework.
Where can I find the metal detector and how much does it cost?
You buy it at the strip center shop during the early crafting stretch. A figure of around $3,000 is commonly quoted, so confirm the price on the shelf before you plan your cash around it. Grab the shovel first, because treasure digging in the forest is your early income.
How do I combine broken key halves with glue?
Collect both key halves, open your inventory, pick one half, and choose the glue. Combine them and the game produces the full chest key. Buy the glue from the shop during the tools and shop expansion stage, and keep a spare for later chapel and inventory keys.
What are the answers to the police station quiz?
The quiz answer sequence runs L, 1, How up, 3, 102 and Waterfall. Answer them correctly to earn a $100 reward plus an intelligence boost. If a question looks different in your version, match it by meaning, and note that 102 is also Melissa's condo number from the password riddle.
How do I increase my Strength and Intelligence stats?
Strength comes from the gym, dumbbells and the seed of strength. Join the gym for $20, gather the three dumbbells, then craft and consume the seed. Intelligence comes from old books and essence of intelligence, crafted into the seed of knowledge through Angel Craft. Both seeds permanently raise your stats.
Why is my installation stuck near the end?
Freezes near the end of an install usually come from heavy disk work, low free space or antivirus scanning new files. Pause other downloads, free up storage and give it a few minutes before restarting. The safest route is the official build on the store page, which avoids repack wrappers and the flags that come with them.
How do I unlock the secret basement and gargoyle statues?
Collect the mysterious keys during the mansion investigation, then use them to open the secret staircase at the Viking Mansion. The basement leads to the first set of gargoyle statues. Activate those, then return after the later locker keys for the extra statues and the blowtorch.
Is The Genesis Order Worth Your Time?
If you like detective plots, puzzle gates and a huge cast, yes. The game is long, gated and sometimes padded, but the crafting loops and the story hooks keep pulling you forward. Use the Oracle, respect the gym, keep spare glue, and click every suspicious wall. If you want to play it properly, pick up the official version from the Steam store page and start your own case file.
