For players just starting out. If you are new to Invisible, Inc. we suggest selecting this mode. This mode is designed to teach you the unique mechanics of the game, and will still provide a formidable challenge.

Beginner is the lowest game difficulty setting for the campaign mode.

Beginner mode has many small differences to other modes, most of which are intended to make the game easier for new players, while some differences simplify the game by delaying the introduction of some game mechanics.

Beginner mode has the following differences compared to Experienced mode:

• By default, you have 5 rewinds instead of 3, and level retries are enabled.
• The effects of alarm level changes happen later in the mission, or are less severe.
• There are fewer guards per mission.
• Guard patrol paths are shorter, usually do not go through doors, and guards never patrol into the starting room. No room initially has more than one guard.
• There is no “increased final resistance” in the OMNI Mainframe mission.
• Daemons are installed on fewer mainframe devices.

Many of the differences between Beginner mode and other modes are not configurable in Custom modes, and only apply when the mode is “Beginner” rather than “Custom”. When playing with any custom settings, the following differences do not apply:

• The first Executive Terminals mission never has a Database or a Secondary Server Terminal.
• Infiltration targets on day 1 are never mission difficulty 2, and the infiltration targets which appear on the transition to day 2 are never mission difficulty 3.
• The first set of infiltration targets never includes a Chief Financial Suite mission.
• The first Detention Center mission always has an agent, instead of a high-value Prisoner.
• Monst3r sells from a different pool of items, weapons and augments, and sells at predictable times instead of randomly.
• There is a different distribution of programs available in Secondary Server Terminals, and some programs are never available from Secondary Server Terminals.
• OMNI Harbingers do not have armor, and OMNI Protectors have 6 firewalls instead of 8.
