Our independent guide offers observations that help you compare tools, organise clues, and optimise accessibility without promising hidden shortcuts or rewards.
01 / THE GUIDE
Tool Comparison
Run the same scene through both the Video Analyzer and the Photo Analyzer. Note differences in metadata extraction and how each influences your deduction path.
- Re‑examine earlier evidence after unlocking new clues; patterns often become clearer.
- Keep a brief note in the Notepad tool to track hypotheses and avoid missing details.
02 / THE GUIDE
Clue Mapping
Create a simple diagram linking each piece of evidence to potential suspects. Observe how visualising connections can reveal overlooked relationships.
- Use the Terminal for text searches in case files to track down what you need.
- Leverage ChemScan when dealing with substances as part of your analysis.
03 / THE GUIDE
Database Efficiency
Test search queries in the Citizen Database using full names versus partial identifiers. Record which method returns results faster and more accurately.
- Prioritize requests that involve time‑sensitive evidence to keep agents moving forward.
- Confirm details with agents before finalizing a suspect identification to avoid missteps.
04 / THE GUIDE
Terminal Usage
Run a basic text search in the Terminal for a keyword found in a case file. Compare the speed and depth of results to manual scanning.
- Create a visual map of connections between evidence items to spot hidden relationships.
- Report any HAL‑related findings immediately, as the game instructs.
05 / THE GUIDE
Accessibility Tuning
Adjust text size and enable captions, then replay a short segment. Evaluate how these changes affect comprehension and overall comfort.
- Enable captions and larger text if on‑screen dialogue feels dense.
- Try a controller if you prefer that input style.
