Plan your next HoloTrials: Case Covered session
Our independent guide breaks down HoloTrials: Case Covered into clear, documented steps. By focusing on the two‑day investigation and trial structure, you can build a reliable case without relying on hidden mechanics or undocumented shortcuts.
01 / THE GUIDE
Map Familiarisation
Spend a few minutes moving between classrooms, the pool and the council room in side‑scroll view. Note each area’s layout to reduce backtracking when you need to revisit a clue.
- Mark each hotspot on a quick sketch to avoid unnecessary backtracking.
- Re‑visit earlier locations after new dialogue to see if additional clues appear.
02 / THE GUIDE
Clue Cataloguing
Create a simple list of every clue you find, recording its location and any linked dialogue. This reference speeds up cross‑examination by matching evidence to statements.
- Focus on contradictions that directly involve the pool graffiti.
- Keep a list of which evidence counters which witness for quick reference.
03 / THE GUIDE
Witness Comparison
After each interview, write down the key statements. Compare them side‑by‑side to spot contradictions, especially those concerning the pool vandalism.
- Listen for repeated phrases; they often hint at concealed details.
- Observe animation cues for subtle hints about honesty.
04 / THE GUIDE
Audio Tuning
Adjust the custom volume sliders so dialogue is clear over background music. Clear audio helps you catch subtle hints that may be crucial during the trial.
- Try the touch‑only mode if you prefer point‑and‑click navigation.
- Enable Steam Cloud before switching devices to retain your progress.
05 / THE GUIDE
Trial Rehearsal
Before presenting evidence, mentally walk through the order you’ll use it in court. Align each piece of evidence with the specific witness statement it disproves for a smoother presentation.
- Lower music volume during trials to focus on witness statements.
- Raise dialogue volume if subtle clue hints are missed.
