Chapter 1: Introduction

During the game, you must complete action sequences. These requireyou to press certain buttons or keys, following on-screen prompts.There are two types of action sequences. The first requires you tofollow a directional sequence of inputs. The second type requires youto repetitively alternate between two inputs. Usually when you fail anaction sequence, the character loses a life or must try the task again.In some cases, a failure can mean game over.

Play the tutorial when youbegin a new game to becomeacquainted with your platform'scontrol system. The tutorialalso covers the different typesof action sequences, letting youpractice them before youperform them in the game.

Scarcer than tarot cards, crucifixes appear in some levels. When acharacter picks up a crucifix, they gain an extra life, which they needduring action sequences. When you fail an action sequence and lose alife, you can attempt the sequence again until you run out of lives.Otherwise, you must start over from the last save. Lives are repre-sented by the filled-in circles at the top of the screen that appearduring action sequences.

and a new menu opens; from here, you can spend bonus points onart, music, and movies from the game and on some things thatdidn't make it into the game.

Lucas, Carla, and Tyler all carry a PDA with them. This has two functionsin the game. First, the PDA lists how many lives the character has, howmany bonus points the player has earned, how many bonuses they haveunlocked, and the percentage of the game they have completed. Second(and more importantly), the PDA shows the current character'smental-health level. The PDA's second screen contains a diary foreach character, reflecting on what they have done in past scenes of thegame and what they want to accomplish in the current scene.

Mental health plays an importantrole. This is similar to health inother games. When a character'smental health reaches zero, thegame is over. Mental health candecrease from hearing bad news,failing to accomplish an objective,or from someone dying. However,there are many opportunities toearn mental-health points. Eating food, drinking coffee or otherbeverages, sleeping, finding evidence, completing objectives, andother beneficial actions all raise mental health.

Scattered throughout thegame are tarot cards that areworth 5, 10, or 20 bonuspoints. You accumulate thesepoints during the game andcan use them to unlock bonuscontent. From the Main Menuscreen, select Bonus Content,

The Nightmare Begins.

A crow flies toward New York City, settling on a windowsill of Doc's Diner.

You gain control of Lucas in the diner's restroom right after the murder.There are many interactive objects in this room, but only a few of themhelp Lucas cover his tracks. The rest are just a waste of time. Whenyou take control of Lucas, an internal timer begins counting down towhen the police officer leaves his stool and begins walking to therestroom. Hiding evidence puts more time on the clock, buying Lucasa few more seconds to explore the diner.

Essential Restroom ActionsThe following actions maximize Lucas's mental health and increase thetime on the timer that counts down to the police officer's trip to the restroom.

Holding a knife and bleeding, Lucas Kane trembles in a restroom stall.Mysterious visions enter his mind as his eyes roll back, and he entersa trancelike state.

There aren't many places to stow the body, but when prompted,Lucas drags the victim into the center stall and closes the door. It's notperfect, but it's better than leaving the body on the floor.

The mop leans against the outside wall, just below the window. Lucascan use it only after he moves the body. He mops up the pool of bloodon the floor where the body was lying. However, he fails to clean thetrail of blood leading into the center stall—the police officer won'toverlook this.

While in a trance, Lucas attacks a man in the restroom, stabbing himthree times with the knife. More bizarre visions follow, including thatof a little girl holding out her hand.

Chapter 2: The Murder


Blood in stall: There are acouple of bloodstains on thestall's floor where Lucas wassitting before the murder. Byinvestigating these stains, Lucasrealizes his wrists are bleeding.You can't clean these stains, andseeing them does not affectLucas's mental state.

Condom machine: This machine hangs on the wall by the urinals.By interacting with the machine three times, Lucas can retrieve a coinfrom it—and a mental-health bonus. Use the coin to place a call on thediner's pay phone, orplay a tune on thejukebox. Lucas alreadyhas one coin in hispocket. If he wishes touse both the pay phoneand the jukebox, heneeds this coin.

Restroom window:After looking throughthe barred windowand realizing this isn'ta possible exit,Lucas's mental healthdegrades (-5).

The bloody knife is located on the floor near the urinals; you shouldhide it. After you select the knife, Lucas hides it in one of three possiblelocations in the restroom. The camera view cuts to the diner as Lucashides the knife, making the following investigation sequence a bitmore challenging for Carla and Tyler.

Knife

At the sink on the right (the one that doesn't say "Out of Order"), Lucaswashes the blood off his hands and splashes some water on his face.Failing to wash up before leaving the restroom causes the waitress(Kate) to scream, drawing unwanted attention.

Other Restroom ActionsMost of these actions either waste time or degrade Lucas's mentalhealth. However, some may help fill in the story or enable later actions.

Door

Sink

This door leads out tothe diner. Lucas shouldat least wash his faceand hands beforeleaving the restroom.Otherwise he must findan exit before the policeofficer can react.

Mirror: If Lucas hasn't washedup, he discovers he's covered inblood. Time to use that sink!

Hand dryer: It doesn't takelong to use, but Lucas doesn'thave time to dry his hands.

6

Toilet/urinal: Lucascan relieve himself in atoilet or urinal, but thisaction does not affecthis mental state; it'sjust a waste of time.After he relieveshimself, Lucas canthen flush the toilets—another time-waster.

Lucas can do a few more things in the diner to improve his mentalhealth and fill in some of the story. However, it's important that Lucasleaves the diner before the police officer discovers the body in therestroom.

Lucas's BoothLucas's booth is the nearest to the restroom. His table contains a plateof food and a couple of drinks. If Lucas washed up, moved the body,mopped the floor, and hid the knife, he has plenty of time to interactwith the items at his booth.

Diner

Even though it's the first scene, the gamecan end if any of these events occur:-Officer McCarthy discovers the body

while Lucas is in the restroom.-Lucas and Officer McCarthy are both in

the diner after McCarthy discovers the body.

-Lucas rushes out of the restroom with bloody hands and fails to escape through the emergency door.

-Lucas wanders around outside too long and is approached by a police car.

Sit at booth: By sitting down,Lucas can interact with theobjects on the table. But heleaves behind some bloodevidence on the seat—something Carla can spot inthe next scene.

Check: Lucas canpay the check at histable whether he'sstanding or sitting. Hegets a +5 mental-health bonus uponexiting the diner if hepays the check.

Cup of coffee:Lucas doesn'tremember orderingcoffee. He wonders ifsomeone else wassitting at the table.

Chapter 2: The Murder

Jukebox: The jukebox (at thefront of the diner) also requiresa coin to operate. Unlike thephone, this action boostsLucas's mental health andleaves behind no traceableevidence.

Talk to patrons:Lucas can speak withthe three other dinerpatrons, includingOfficer MartinMcCarthy. All conver-sations result innegative modifiers toLucas's mental health.It's best to stay quiet.

Other Diner ActionsMake a phone call:Using either the coin inhis possession or thecoin he retrieved fromthe condom machine,Lucas can use the payphone at the back of thediner, just across fromthe restroom door. Hecalls his brotherMarcus but gets hisanswering machine. This affects Lucas's mental health negatively.Carla can request a list of calls made from this phone in the next scene,potentially linking Lucas to Marcus if Lucas makes the call here.

Speak with Kate: Lucas can interact with Kate by either attemptingto access the area behind the diner's counter or by sitting in one of thestools near Kate's position. Both interactions have a negative impacton Lucas's mental state. While sitting at the counter, Lucas can alsowatch TV, but the weather report offers no useful information.

Lucas leaves behind a splotch ofblood outside the diner, regardlessof which exit he chooses. In the

next scene, Carla or Tyler spot this bloodevidence outside the front or back doors.

Doors: Lucas can exit the diner via the front door or the emergencyexit at the back. However, Kate notices if he attempts to leave beforepaying his bill and shouts out to Lucas. It's still possible to exit afterKate speaks up.

Lucas isn't out of danger after he exits the diner. When he exits, OfficerMcCarthy enters the restroom and discovers the body. Lucas mustfind a way out of the neighborhood before a patrol car approacheshim. There's only a handful of actions Lucas can perform outside, themost important being the escape.

Bogart: In the alley just outsidethe emergency exit, Lucas canlook at Bogart, a homeless manhuddled near a flaming barrel.This isn't the last time Lucasencounters Bogart. Don't worry,Bogart can't provide the policewith any reliable information.

Taxi: A taxicab is locateddown the street from thediner, providing one of twopossible escapes. From thediner's front door, turn rightand cross the street. However,the police can obtain the taxicompany's records.

EscapeLucas's Mental-Health ModifiersAction Mental HealthLucas leaves by taxi or subway +10


8

Subway: If Lucas wants tocover his tracks, the subway isthe best escape option. From thediner's rear door, turn left andcross the street. A stairwayalong the sidewalk leads downto the subway.

Don't waste too much time outside!Otherwise,a squad car

approaches Lucas,bringing the game toa quick end.

Escaping the Diner:Walkthrough OptionsFlawless execution: To maximize Lucas's

mental health, start by moving the body,

mopping the floor, hiding the knife, and

washing at the sink. Smack the condom

machine three times for the coin to

quickly gain a mental-health bonus. Next,

enter the diner and sit down at the booth

to eat, drink, and pay the bill. With time

left to burn, walk over to the jukebox and

play a tune for another bonus. Finally,

leave the diner through the front door

before Officer McCarthy gets up to use the

restroom. Outside, move to the subway to

end the scene.

Quick escape: Right after the murder,

Lucas can simply rush out of the restroom

and into the diner. The sight of Lucas's

bloody hands causes Kate to scream,

immediately gaining Officer McCarthy's

attention. Lucas has only a few moments to

act before McCarthy approaches from the

diner's far end. This leaves the emergency

exit as the only escape option. Lucas must

act quickly to get out the door. Once

outside, Lucas can use either the subway

or the taxi to end the scene. While this

option is the quickest way to end the

scene, Lucas won't benefit from any of the

mental-health bonuses offered by cleaning

up and covering his tracks. Plus, having

seen Lucas up close with bloody hands,

Kate will have an easier time with the

composite sketch later on.

INVESTIGATIONJanuary 2701:12 AMDoc's Diner

Day: Time:

Location:

Roughly one hour after the crime, investigators Carla Valenti and TylerMiles arrive at Doc's Diner.

After exiting the car, Carla can access an internal monologue thatreveals a bit more of what lies ahead. Tyler can perform the sameaction when he's inside the diner.

When Carla's monologueends, she can enter the diner.Tyler follows.

I have to question the witnesses and gather any clues I can in thediner. The killer must have left traces we can use to track him down.

There's been a murder in a diner. I'll try to keep my eyes openwhile I help Carla find some clues and question the witnesses.

Carla and Tyler have a few goals to achieve in the diner. First, theymust get as much information as possible from Officer McCarthy andfrom Kate, the waitress. A thorough search of Lucas's booth revealsplenty of clues and evidence. Frank and Garret stand by to processany evidence you uncover.

When Carla enters the diner, sheautomatically strikes up a conver-sation with Martin McCarthy, theofficer who discovered the body.During this interactive conver-sation, have Carla focus onquestions pertaining to the murder.Martin's most valuable insight ison the victim and suspect. Carlacannot exhaust all conversation options, so choose carefully.

After Carla finishes her conversation with Martin, Tyler can speakwith him to learn more about the victim, John Winston, or the location

of some coffee. Tyler receives amental-health bonus for thisconversation. However, Tylermust question Martin beforeCarla conducts Kate's interro-gation, as Martin leaves withKate immediately after herquestioning.

Carla/Martin Conversation Topics• Martin• Suspect• Witnesses

• Victim• How• Table

• Body• Waitress• Customers

Both Carla and Tyler can speak with Garret and Frank, but Tyler is theonly one who gets a mental-health bonus by speaking with eachofficer. To receive the bonus from Garret, Tyler must speak with himbefore Tyler finds evidence in the restroom. Otherwise the conver-sation is all business, and you receive no mental-health bonus.

Table/drinks: Have Carlacheck out Lucas's table beforeshe questions Kate. She firstnotices a soda glass and a cupof coffee. These pieces of infor-mation lead to a new line ofquestioning for Kate.

Book: Carla finds a book beneath the table: Shakespeare's TheTempest. Discovering the bookallows Carla to make a mentalconnection during her conver-sation with Kate. This find alsoearns Carla some mental-healthpoints and is a key piece ofevidence, as it holds a couple ofmajor clues—don't pass it up!

Lucas's Table

Seat: If Lucas sat down afterthe murder, Carla uncoverstraces of blood on the seat. Shetells Garret and Frank to gathersome samples for analysis; shereceives mental-health points.

Check/food: Tyler looks atthe table and notices the coffeeis missing on the bill. He alsomakes note of the food onLucas's plate—Lucas barelytouched it.

Questioning KateCarla/Kate Conversation Topics• You• Victim• Suspect• Description• Someone Else• Behavior

• Motive• John Alone• John/Suspect• Facts• Heard• Before

• Cup Coffee• Suspect's Table• Insist• Cheer Up• John/Bizarre• Suspect/Bizarre

Kate sits at a booth inthe diner's center. Carlamust conduct the inter-rogation. Like theconversation withMartin, Carla can guidethe questioning. Kate isthe only one in the dinerwho had any signif-icant interaction withLucas prior to themurder, so guide the questioning to uncover more facts about thesuspect. Learning more about John Winston (the victim) does verylittle to advance the investigation.

Ask about the suspect'sbehavior, and Kate remembersthat Lucas was reading a book.Carla makes a mentalconnection to the book shefound beneath the table.

Even more puzzling is why Katecan't remember any specificsabout who was sitting atLucas's table when Carla posesthe Suspect's Table question.

If Carla notices the cup of coffeeat Lucas's table before beginningthe interrogation with Kate, shecan ask Kate about it. Strangely,Kate can't remember servingany coffee.

Pay phone: Both Carla and Tyler can get a mental-health bonus byinteracting with the pay phone. Carla asks Frank to retrieve a list ofoutgoing calls. If Lucas made a phone call, it shows up on the list. Tylersimply uses the phone to call his girlfriend, Sam.

When the interrogation is over,Carla convinces Kate to go tothe police station in the morningto help with a composite sketchof the suspect. Martin thenescorts Kate home.

Drink coffee: To fight off fatigue, Carla and Tyler can pour themselvesa cup of coffee from behind the diner's counter. They must pour thecoffee into a cup before they consume it. Carla and Tyler can drinkcoffee repeatedly but receive mental-health points only the first time.

Other Diner Actions

The stress of the night's eventshave taken their toll on Kate.When the Insist or Cheer Upoption appears, urge Kate toCheer Up to get more informationout of her.

Ask Kate whether the suspectwas acting bizarre, and shementions a moment whenLucas stared straight aheadand ignored her.


11


Jukebox: Like Lucas, Tyler can play some music on the jukebox,selecting a differenttune. But this actionannoys Carla andresults in Tyler losingsome mental-healthpoints. Even if Lucasused the jukebox, noone can retrieveevidence from it.

Restroom

John Winston's body: The victim is either on the restroom floor orin the middle stall, depending on whether Lucas attempted to hide thebody or not. When looking at the body, Carla makes note of the stabwounds on the victim's chest. Tyler notices Winston still has $100and a credit card on him, eliminating robbery as a possible motive.

Bloodstains in stall:By entering the stall whereLucas was sitting, Carla candiscover blood on the floor. Thisboosts her mental health by afew points.

If Lucas didn't hide the knife, it lies on the floor near the urinals. But ifhe hid it, the knife is in one ofthree places. While in Lucas'sstall, Carla inspects a smallventilation grid along the floor ofthe outside wall. If the knife is inhere, Carla gets a significantmental-health increase. Tylercannot search this location.

Carla and Tyler getmost of the case'shard evidence fromthe restroom. Even ifLucas cleaned upthings, there are stillplenty of clues todiscover. In fact, themore Lucas cleaned,the more there is to find.

Tyler can sit at the diner's stools, and

Carla can sit at the booths, but this

has no impact on the investigation or

the characters' mental health.

Carla's Mental-Health ModifiersAction Mental HealthFinds knife +10Finds bloodstains in stall +5Tyler urinates -10

Tyler's Mental-Health ModifiersAction Mental HealthFinds knife +10Finds blood in sink +5

Mop: Carla notices blood on themop only if Lucas used it. Shewonders why the killer wouldrisk taking the time to clean.

Blood in sink: If Lucas washedhis hands and face, Tyler canfind traces of blood in the sink,earning him some mental-healthpoints in the process.

Finding the Knife


12

If the knife isn't in Lucas's stall, Tyler finds it in either the wastebasket(near the hand dryers) or in the lit stall, along the same wall as theurinals—Lucas may have stashed it in the toilet tank. Carla can'tsearch either of these areas. Tyler gets the mental-health points if hefinds the knife in one of these two locations.

There aren't too manyclues outside, but it'sstill worth a look. Beginthe search in the alleybehind the diner; usethe diner's emergencyexit to get there.

Carla has the most luck withBogart. Choose the SeenAnything and You conversationoptions. Bogart's incoherentrambling costs Carla somemental-health points, but heeventually comes through withsome information.

Other Restroom Actions

Outside Diner

BogartAfter finishing theinvestigation in therestroom, have Tylerspeak with Garret toinform him of theirfindings.

If Lucas didn't hide the knife,either Carla or Tyler discovers iton the floor; whoever discovers

the knife gains the mental-health points.Chances are, Tyler needs the points morethan Carla.

Urinals: If Tyler uses one of theurinals, it annoys and offendsCarla, degrading her mental-health significantly. The act hasno impact on Tyler.

Hand dryer: Tyler only wastestime by using the hand dryer.

Once outside, youcannot use theemergency exit toreenter the diner. IfCarla or Tyler triesto use this door,they lose 10 mental-health points. Have them use the diner'sfront door if they need to go back inside.


13


As Carla walks away, Bogartmentions seeing someone exitthrough the diner's back door.He's not talking about Lucaseither, as he makes the sameremark if Lucas exited throughthe front door.

Tyler gets nothing out of Bogart.In fact, attempting a conver-sation costs Tyler 10 mental-health points.

Restroom window:Tyler can peer throughthe restroom windowbut sees nothingsignificant.

Taxi: Upon approaching thetaxi on the adjacent street,Carla thinks to check up on thetaxi company's records. Herquick thinking results in a slightboost in mental health. If Lucasleft the scene by taxi, the taxilist is a piece of evidence thatcan help incriminate him.Lucas was bleeding when he

left the diner, and he left behindevidence at either exit. If Lucasexited through the diner's frontdoor, Carla can examine asplotch of blood on the ground.Tyler cannot detect thisevidence.

If Lucas fled through the diner'semergency exit, Tyler can spot apiece of bloody cloth attached tothe chain-link fence just oppositethe door. Carla cannot see this.

Footprints: Tyler spotsfootprints in the snow at the frontor rear entrances, depending onwhich exit Lucas used.

Flaming barrel: Tyler canwarm his hands at the barrelnear Bogart, but he receives nopayoff for the action.

Other Outside Actions

Outdoor Blood Evidence

At any point during the investi-gation, Tyler and Carla can leavethe crime scene by getting intothe car they arrived in. At aminimum, make sure you'vefound or requested the followingevidence:

• Book: Beneath Lucas's table in diner

• Knife: In restroom• Pay-phone list: Carla requests from Frank• Taxi list: Carla must see taxi in the street

Lucas awakes from a nightmare but soon realizes his reality isn't anymore comforting than his disturbing dreams. His wrists are still bloody,and now his bedsheets are too. He has some serious cleaning up to do(mentally and physically) before he can leave for work. Even worse, apolice officer pays Lucas a visit before he can leave the apartment.

Wardrobe: This is whereLucas can put on his clothes.But he can't get dressed untilhe bandages his wrists, andhe can't do that until he takesa shower.

Window: Despite the freezingtemperature outside, Lucas'swindows are always open. Hecan close them, but it does notaffect Lucas or the story. Anidentical window is located inthe living room, near thebalcony.

Bloody sheet: Tohide the bloody sheet,Lucas can cover itwith a blanket. It's aquick fix, but it putsLucas's mind at ease,slightly increasing hismental health.

Nightstand: When Lucas gets out of bed, he experiences a dizzyspell brought on by a migraine headache. Fortunately, he can use thepills (Cross icon) on his nightstand to combat the pain. Also on thenightstand are a radio and a book, Nietzsche's Thus SpokeZarathustra. The pills give Lucas a mental-health bonus; the otherobjects have no impact.

Computer: Lucas can accesshis e-mail and the Web from hiscomputer, but no critical infor-mation is available at this time.

Family photo: Next to Lucas'scomputer is a framed picture ofhis family "before the accident."This image disturbs Lucas,reducing his mental health.

Chapter 4: The Day After

As soon as Lucas leaves his bedroom, the phone rings. The phone sitson a small table on the living room's opposite side, near the kitchen.Lucas can answer the phone and speak to his brother Marcus. He tellsMarcus he's in big trouble and agrees to meet him in a park within thenext 30 minutes.

Answering machine: Whileat the phone, Lucas can checkhis messages. His ex-girlfriendTiffany called earlier to see ifshe could stop by to pick up afew of her things.

Toilet: Lucas feels alittle better afterrelieving himself.

Shower: Taking ashower doesn'timprove Lucas'smental health, but hemust do it before hecan bandage his arms.

Washer: Lucas can stash thebloody clothes in the washer.Doing so gives him a slightmental-health increase andprevents the approaching policeofficer from discovering somevery incriminating evidence.

Bloody clothes: Not far from the phone is a pile of Lucas's bloodyclothes from the night before. When he looks at the clothes, he has aflashback to the night's events.Lucas must hide these clothesbefore the police officer knockson the door. After picking up theclothes, a small window openson the screen's right, showing awasher that is located in thebathroom.

Sink: Lucas washes his handsand face at the sink, but it hasno impact on his mental state.

Medicine cabinet: Aftershowering, Lucas bandages hisarms at the medicine cabinet.This improves his mental statebriefly, but any benefits areshort-lived. When Lucas closesthe medicine cabinet, he seesthe image of a bloody JohnWinston in the mirror's reflection.This hallucination disturbs Lucas greatly, but it cannot be avoided.

At some point, Lucas experiences a disturbing (but helpful) premonitionwhile walking around his apartment. This is when he realizes a policeofficer is heading for his apartment.

Premonition Open Up! Police!

During this interactive vision, you must match the colored on-screenicons with the appropriate control movements. Succeeding in thisshort action sequence allows Lucas to see a policeman searching theapartment, paying particular attention to the bloody clothes and bloodysheet. If Lucas already hid the evidence, he has little to worry about.

Just as Lucas foresawin the premonition, apolice officer knocks onthe front door. If Lucashid the bloody sheetand clothes, all he mustdo is unlock the frontdoor—the key is lyingon the dining table inthe living room. Lucasmust answer the doorbefore the timer at the screen's top runs out. Otherwise, the officerbreaks down the door and arrests Lucas.

While waiting for thepolice officer to arrive,Lucas should put onsome clothes, usingthe wardrobe in thebedroom. He doesn'tneed to be dressed toanswer the door, but hemust be clothed beforeleaving his apartment.

With key in hand, Lucas canopen the front door. The officerinquires about screaming heardby the neighbors. To avoidraising the officer's suspicionlevel, use the It Was Me option.Lucas makes up a story aboutcutting himself on a mirror.

Next, the officer wants toknow if he can look around theapartment. Always choose Yesto keep suspicion low. Theofficer enters regardless ofyour answer.

No matter how quickly Lucas rushes

to get ready for work, he cannot

avoid the police officer's visit.

When he opens the door to leave,

the officer knocks. This happens

whether the premonition event has

occurred or not.

Police SuspicionWhen the police

officer questions

Lucas, a suspicion

meter appears on the

screen's left side.

The meter rises and

falls based primarily

on Lucas's responses

to the officer's

questions. But it can also rise if the

officer notices any suspicious objects. If

the meter tops out, Lucas is arrested.

Chapter 4: The Day After

Upon entering, the officer asksabout Lucas's wrists. If Lucasanswered It Was Me, hereiterates the story about thebroken mirror, keeping thesuspicion level low.

Bloody Sheet: Cover StoryIf Lucas failed to

hide the bloody sheets,

he jumps in front of

the bedroom door before

the officer enters.

Four dialogue options

appear in an attempt

to prevent the officer

from searching the

room. If Lucas chooses Woman or Dog, the

officer understands and halts his search.

But if he chooses Messy or Warrant, the

officer enters the bedroom and discovers

the bloody sheet, ending the game.

If Lucas hid the bloody clothes and sheets, the officer won't findanything as he searches each room. Following his search, the officerthanks Lucas for his cooperation and leaves. Relieved, Lucas receivesan increase in mental health when the officer exits.

Alcohol: A bottle of gin is stored on the low shelf just opposite thefridge. If Lucas took the pills on his nightstand, drinking the gin killshim, ending the game.However, if Lucas didn'ttake the pills, he canconsume one drink fora slight (+5) mental-health bonus. But eachadditional drinkreduces his mentalhealth (-5).

After the police officer leaves, Lucas is free to explore the rest of hisapartment—there are no more time-sensitive events. The kitchen is agood place to start, offering a few mental-health bonuses.

Lucas can perform a few more interactions in the living room, butmost of these activities have a negative impact on his mental state—choose wisely.

Refrigerator: Inside the fridgeis a carton of milk. Lucas candrink the milk once for amental-health increase.

Sink: At the kitchen sink, Lucascan pour himself a glass of water,earning another mental-healthboost, but only on the first drink.

Tarot Card BonusCupboard: The kitchen cupboardnear the sink contains a +5 tarotcard—the other cupboard is empty.Tarot cards are hidden throughoutthe game. Each card is worth acertain amount of points. Collect thecards to unlock bonus content.

Newspaper: A newspaperlies on the floor near the frontdoor. It contains informationabout the homicide at the diner.Reading the newspaper reducesLucas's mental health.

Television: Even worse thanthe newspaper is the television.A news report on the diner murdercauses Lucas to have a flashback,resulting in another mental-health reduction. To turn on theTV, Lucas must use the remoteon the table near the sofa.

Stereo: Lucas's stereo islocated on the shelf behind theTV. Playing some musicsoothes Lucas, increasing hismental health by 5. This bonusis only applied once, regardlessof which of the four musictracks he chooses.

Front door: The front door hasa peephole, allowing Lucas tosee into the hallway. WhenLucas finishes exploring hisapartment, he can leave throughthe front door, ending the scene.

The guitar/amp and boxing bag are

interactive in this scene, but Lucas

doesn't feel like using them. He can

put these objects to use later, in

the "Lost Love" scene.

Tarot Card Bonus

Balcony: A crow sits on Lucas's balcony railing. As he approaches,the crow flies away. Also on the balcony is another tarot card worth10 bonus points.

This scene's events have littleimpact on the rest of the story.The key goals are to maximize

Lucas's mental health and prevent him frombeing arrested. For best results, stayaway from the newspaper, television, andphoto of Lucas's family.

This is the first

time-split instance

in the game,

you can choose between Lucas's

Chapter 5: Confession

Marcus

Snow floats down and coats the park as Lucas arrives to meet hisbrother Marcus. Follow the pathway ahead until Lucas approaches asquare populated with people and a tall statue. Marcus is standing tothe left of the statue.

At the first pause in the conver-sation, you can choose fromtwo out of three dialogueoptions. Wrists and Details aregood choices because they fill inthe most story.

Take care when the Police or Sick options appear—Police is the safestone. If you choose Sick, Marcussuggests that Lucas get somemental help. Lucas takes offenseand responds in an Aggressiveor Calm manner. ChoosingAggressive results in Lucaslosing some mental health.

Regardless of how well or badly the conversation goes, Marcus stilloffers Lucas a crucifix at the end.Take it to earn an extra life. Extralives come in handy during inter-active events and give Lucas thechance to retry failed sequenceswithout backtracking to a savedgame. You find more crucifixes infuture scenes.

Lucas can also lose mentalhealth in the final option bychoosing Break Off instead of Convince.

Tarot Card BonusBefore approaching Marcus, turnright at the statue and head downthe nearby walkway. A tarot card isfarther down this path and is worth20 points.

Saving the Child

Right after the conversation with Marcus, Lucas has another premo-nition. He sees a child playing near a frozen pond, and the child slipsand falls in.

By the time Lucas is outof the water, a crowdhas gathered around,but the child is still indanger, indicated bythe timer status bar atthe screen's top. Lucascan kneel down toinspect the child.

More repetitive control inputsare needed to get the child andLucas out of the water.

Just ahead, he sees the childfrom his vision playing near thefrozen pond. But a couple ofpolice officers are approaching.

It's in Lucas's best interest tosave the child from drowning.Rush straight ahead to makeLucas jump into the pond.

Repetitive control inputs are required to make Lucas swim to the pond'sbottom. He must then pick up the child and swim to the surface.

Once committed to the act, Lucas mustsave the child's life or else the nearby policeofficers arrest him.

Select the Ear icon to makeLucas listen to the boy's chest—his heart has stopped.

Lucas counts down: "One, two,three." After he says "three,"interact with the child to performa chest compression. Repeatthe process until the boy sits up.

Saving the boy's life greatly improves Lucas's mental health. It alsoimpresses one of the police officers—Martin McCarthy. Martin recog-nizes Lucas from the diner but doesn't say anything. Later on, herelates this heroic incident to Carla.

Lucas's day isn't anybetter when he makesit into the office. In fact,he's feeling worsethan ever, beset by afever and generalsqueamishness.

Garret reveals a wealth of information in the lab-results conversation.Here's a rundown of what he found:• Book: The prints on the book match those on the fork and glass. If

Carla didn't find this, Frank did and processed it as evidence.• Blood/stall: Confirmed as the killer's blood, not the victim's.• Coffee cup: No prints were found on the cup other than Kate's.• Killer's booth: Garret confirms the blood on the seat did not come

from the victim.• Knife: The prints match the fork and glass at Lucas's table. Both the

victim's and the killer's blood were on the knife.• Piece of cloth (from fence): Soaked in the killer's blood.• Phone calls: If requested by Carla at the diner (this happens automat-

ically if she interacted with the phone in the diner), Garret agrees to send list to Carla.

Building a Case

If the stall blood was discoveredalong with either the knife or theblood in the booth, Carla infersthat the killer wounded himself.

Chapter 7: Alternate Reality

Eventually the phone rings. Lucaspicks up the phone at his desk—all other options are locked untilLucas answers the phone. It'sLucas's ex-girlfriend Tiffany.She still wants to stop by Lucas'sapartment to pick up her stuff.

If Lucas responds with a yes, he gets a mental-health boost, andTiffany shows up laterin the "Lost Love"chapter. But if Lucasresponds with a no, heloses some mental-health points, andTiffany shows up at hisapartment anyway.

While sitting at his desk, Lucas experiences another interactivepremonition. If he succeeds at the interactive sequence, he has avision of Warren spilling his coffee. The vision has no impact onLucas's mental state.

Computer: Lucas must interact with his computer to make the sceneprogress. However,when he does, theword "Murderer"flashes across hismonitor, causing him tolose some mental-health points. Thisaction is unavoidable.

Shortly after the computer incident, Warren's phone rings. As hereaches to answer the phone, he accidentally tips over his cup ofcoffee, just as Lucas saw in his vision! Warren still takes the call. Oneof the office systems is down. Warren gets up to fix it, but Lucas volun-teers to take care of the problem. Before leaving, Lucas can interactwith a couple more objects.

There isn't anything left to doin the office, so Lucas goes torepair that system. Upon exitinghis office, the cubicle mapappears on the screen,showing where Lucas shouldgo to conduct the repairs.

After Lucas breaks the stranglehold, he must continue dodgingmore and more giant dust mites. In some instances, the requiredon-screen movements match Lucas's actions. For example, ifLucas jumps, the required inputs are usually up, and if he ducks,the inputs are usually down.

Lucas eventually findshimself cornered. Butinstead of attacking, thedust mites part, makingway for a bloody JohnWinston. Winstonmurmurs somethingabout a serpent withtwo heads.

Just as Winston approaches, Warren shakes Lucas, bringing himback to reality. Lucas is on the floor, and a crowd has gathered aroundhim. Embarrassed and disturbed, Lucas makes a hasty exit, losing 20mental-health points and bringing the scene to an end.

Carla attends John Winston'sautopsy in an effort to betterunderstand what happenedwhen he was attacked in thediner's restroom.

asks the coroner some questionsabout the three stab wounds thatpunctured the three arteriesaround Winston's heart. She canchoose two out of four topics:• Cause: The coroner confirms

the knife is the cause of the three wounds.

• Coincidence: He admits that the chance of cutting three arteries with three stabs is small but not impossible.

• Knowledge: The coroner has no way to prove the killer had knowledge of human anatomy.

• Quick: Due to complete circulatory disruption, the coroner concludes the victim's death was most likely slow.

The required control inputs are purely random, but there are only fivein each sequence; you must match them all to pass. Succeeding ateach sequence earns Carla 10 mental-health points and piecestogether more information. Failing a sequence prevents Carla frommaking new inferences and reduces her mental health by 10.

and cause Carla to gain or lose

mental-health points.

Upon passing the thirdsequence, Carla wonders whythe victim's pupils are dilated.Was it something he sawbefore he died?

If Carla passes the final inter-active sequence, she concludesthat the killer is left-handedbased on the direction of thestab wounds inflicted toWinston's chest.


32

After Carla and the coronerfinish their conversation, hementions something about asimilar case back in the '90s.He reveals that the victim in thatcase also suffered the samepattern of stab wounds.

Using the Identikitsoftware on Tyler'scomputer, you cancreate a compositesketch of Lucas byselecting a face, eyes,mouth, nose, hair, andfacial hair.

When the sketch is complete,Kate reviews it and chooseswhether it's accurate or not. Ifshe chooses yes, the sketch istied to the investigation for futureuse. Choosing no allows Kate toreturn to the composite software.

The accuracy of Kate's sketch isbased on its likeness to Lucas,and it falls into four possiblecategories:• 0–25% match: Not at all Similar• 25–50% match: Sort of Similar• 50–75% match: Fairly Similar• 75–100% match: Very SimilarThe goal is to score a 75–100% match (Very Similar). Even if Katedidn't see Lucas covered in blood, it's still possible to create anaccurate sketch.

With Carla's help, the coroner remembers the name of the case—Kirsten. The same classified case file Carla discovered in the databaseafter receiving that mysterious e-mail! As the scene ends, Carla nowhas a new direction in which to focus the investigation.

Tyler is in the office to greet Kateas she arrives to create acomposite sketch of the suspectfrom the diner.

Kate takes a seat next toTyler's desk and listens as heexplains the procedure. Hetells her their software is kindof like a video game.

Reliable Witness

If Lucas barged out of the restroom covered

in blood, there are fewer options to choose

from when creating the composite sketch.

This is because Kate saw Lucas up close.

These facial selections provide Tyler with the most accurate match toLucas, and earn a ranking of Very Similar. After Kate confirms thesketch with a yes, the scene ends.

While Lucas sits on his sofa, he can reflect (Question Mark icon) onhis stressful situation. Thisinternal monologue does notimpact Lucas's mental state.The incident at the office hasleft Lucas feeling down. Build uphis mental health by interactingwith some of the objects in hisapartment.

Television: Interact with theremote on the table near the sofato turn on the TV. If Lucas savedthe child at the park, a newsstory reports on the rescue.Afterward, a follow-up story onthe Doc's Diner homicide isreported. Lucas learns the policehave distributed a compositesketch. The news reports have no effect on Lucas's mental health orthe overall story.

Lucas can get a slightmental-health boostby playing somemusic on the livingroom stereo. He cancheck his answeringmachine, too, butthere are nomessages.

In the kitchen, Lucas can drinksome milk or gin from thefridge. But remember, if Lucasdrinks the gin, he shouldn't usethe pills on his nightstand. Unlikelast time, Lucas can't pourhimself a glass of water at thekitchen sink.

The composite sketch's accuracy

comes into play when Lucas is

questioned at work, in the "Face

items he previously used during "The Day

34

Relieving himself in thebathroom's toilet is anothersource of mental-healthincrease for Lucas. Washing upin the sink has no impact.

The pills sitting on Lucas's bedroom nightstand offer a big mental-health boost, but only if he hasn'tconsumed the gin—mixing pillsand alcohol results in death.There's still no useful infor-mation (or e-mails) on Lucas'scomputer. Looking at the familyphoto near Lucas's computerstill causes a mental-health loss.

Punching bag: Using the punching bag near the balcony initiates aninteractive sequence where you match the required on-screen controlmovements. In this sequence, Lucas has three retries, indicated by thewhite dots in the screen's upper left-hand corner. If you fail a sequence,Lucas loses one of these retries but does not lose a life. If Lucas passesthis entire sequence, he exhibits some extreme power, kicking theheavy bag halfway across the room. Discovering this new abilityearns him 10 mental-health points.

Guitar/amp: To play the guitar, Lucas must first turn on the amplifier.He can play three different types of music: cool, blues, and bossa.Consider picking bossa, as Lucas later plays this type of music forTiffany—think of this as practice. After selecting a music type, youmust complete an interactive sequence similar to the punching bag. IfLucas succeeds, he receives 10 mental-health points. Lucas can keepplaying the guitar, but he receives points only on the first success.

When playing the guitar, eachmusic type has a distinct inputpattern:

* Cool: A random left tap followed by a random right tap. Repeat.

* Blues: A random left tap followed by a matching right tap. Repeat.

* Bossa: A random left tap followed by a random right double-tap.Repeat.

Bed: At some point, Lucas yawns, indicating his fatigue. By lyingdown on his bed, Lucas can sleep, which boosts his mental health by10 points (you must select the Bed icon to make Lucas sleep). Performthis action only after Lucas maxes out his mental-health options on theother objects in the apartment. When Lucas awakes, Tiffany is waitingat the front door. When Tiffany leaves, Lucas can return to bed toadvance the scene.

Tiffany shows up at Lucas's apartment regardless of how the conver-sation went when she called him at work in the "Alternate Reality"chapter. She also arrives whether Lucas sleeps on his bed or not.Lucas must answer the door to let Tiffany in.

Lucas/Tiffany Conversation Topics• Glass• Stuff• News• Reassuring

Lucas greets Tiffany at the doorand offers her a seat. At thispoint, a conversation starts. Bychoosing the Glass option, Lucasoffers Tiffany a drink. Lucas canpour a shot glass of gin in thekitchen and hand it to Tiffany foran increase in mental health.

The Stuff and News options are still available after giving Tiffany adrink. When you selectNews, Tiffany talksabout her job at thehospital. The Stuffoption initiates thesearch for Tiffany'sboxes. Choosing Stufffirst ends this conver-sation round, makingGlass or Newsunavailable.

Lucas must find Tiffany's boxes to continue the conversation—they'remarked with her initials, “TH.” The first box is in the corner of the livingroom, near the kitchen. Lucas must pick it up and carry it to Tiffany.

The second box is in the bedroom, stacked in the corner by thecomputer. Return it to Tiffany to resume the conversation.

After receiving herboxes, Tiffany standsup and noticessomething is wrongwith Lucas. In the nextconversation round,you can select only oneout of four options.Sincere is the bestoption as it earns Lucassome mental-healthpoints. Choosing Aggressive degrades his mental state. Reassuringand Cold have no impact. Regardless of choice, the conversationadvances to the next round.

To keep Tiffany around, select (in any order) Sentimental and Aloneduring this conver-sation round—Lucasgets some extramental-health pointswith Sentimental. BothLeave and Kiss aredead ends, causingTiffany to leave andcausing Lucas to losemental-health points.


36

Passing the guitar sequenceallows Lucas a second chanceto kiss Tiffany. This time Tiffanyis receptive to the advance. Infact, she stays for the night. Allthis earns Lucas 30 mental-health points!

Lucas must pass the guitarsequence playing a bossa tune. Ifhe succeeds, he earns mental-health points and the chance tokeep Tiffany around a bit longer.But if he fails, he loses two setsof mental-health points: one afterputting down the guitar andanother when Tiffany leaves.

If Tiffany stays withLucas, she requeststhat he play the guitarfor her. Lucas mustwalk over to his guitarand turn on his ampwhile Tiffany relaxeson the floor.

Making up with Tiffany earnsLucas some mental-health points,and repairing their relationship

helps when Lucas is on the run later in"The Fugitive" chapter. He can kiss Tiffanyin that scene for 10 mental-health points.

There's something on one of Lucas's chairs too. Upon closerinspection, you see that it's a crow—and it's watching Lucas movearound the apartment. Creepy. It must have flown in through one of theopen windows or the open balcony door.

The front door is also partially open. If Lucas interacts with the frontdoor, he walks out into the hall. The door shuts behind him.

in the "Friendly Combat" chapter.

I have to meet Marcus at our parents' grave.

Tarot Card BonusLucas follows the main pathway;from here, take the short dead end tothe right. A tarot card worth 5 bonuspoints is on the ground.

Marcus stands at a grave that's off a path to the right. Lucas can placethe flowers at the grave.

After placing the flowers on thegrave, Lucas has a flashback toan incident in his youth.

Before Lucasplaces theflowers at

the grave, return tothe cemetery's mainpath and turn right.At the path's end isa tomb with a crucifix on top. Grab thecrucifix for an extra life.

At a military base in the desert, Marcus and his three friends want tosneak into one of the hangars to play hide-and-seek. Marcus tries toconvince Lucas to come along, but to no avail. The boys leave Lucasbehind as they head out to find a rumored hole in the base's fence.

Back to Wishita


38

Soon after the boysleave, Lucas has apremonition—Marcusand his friends aretrapped in a fire!

At the nearby checkpoint,Lucas can try to warn thesoldier of the impendingaccident, but the soldier won'tbelieve his story. Lucas mustwarn Marcus himself, but hehas to get into the base first.

After Lucas gets over the firstfence, watch the soldiers'positions carefully—one patrolsthe nearby road. Wait until thissoldier moves away beforecrossing the road.

The hole in the next fence islocated to the north, behind alarge boulder. After crossing theroad, move along the fence line,staying in the ditch at the fence'sbase to avoid being spotted.

By moving north alongthe fence, Lucaseventually comes tothe fence hole thatMarcus's friend wastalking about. Crawlthrough to access thehangar area.

When the “Get Ready!” text appears, an interactive sequence begins.If Lucas passes, he gets a few hints on how to sneak onto the base towarn Marcus. He sees himself climbing through a hole in a fence andrunning alongside a military truck. If he fails, the vision ends and hemust figure it out on his own.

The Map

Like the office sequence in the "Alternate

Reality" chapter, Lucas has a map to guide

him through this challenge. The green mark

represents his current location, and the

red X marks the hangar entrance, which is

where Lucas must go. The blue icons

represent soldiers. The cone emanating

from these icons indicate each soldier's

line of sight. Inside the base, keep Lucas

away from these soldiers or else they

catch him, forcing you to start over. For

the purpose of this walkthrough, we assume

the top of the map is north.

Lucas locates a damaged piece of fence in the base's southeastcorner. Access the base by climbing the fence.

Chapter 11: Hide & Seek

Have Lucas take cover behindthese large crates after crawlingthrough the fence hole. Asoldier looks directly in Lucas'sdirection, so he can't head forthe hangar just yet.

As Lucas saw in his vision, atruck approaches, headingsouth. Lucas can use this truckto mask his movements.

The soldier can't see Lucas if he stays on the truck's opposite side.When the truck is between hangars 4A and 4B, stop and head east,toward hangar 4B's secret side entrance.

Lucas runs into Marcus justinside the hangar and tells himto get out. Marcus is appre-hensive but eventually heedsLucas's warning. Lucas tellsMarcus that he'll find the others.

The three other boys are hidingin various areas of the hangar.Lucas must find them before thetimer at the screen's top expires.One of the boys is hiding in thisrow of crates, just opposite ofwhere Lucas enters the hangar.

From the crate, rush to thehangar's far corner, headingtoward the dismantled nose ofan aircraft.

There's a hole in the hangar's side, covered by a piece of sheet metal.Move the metal and crawl through the hole to enter the hangar.

Near the dismantled aircraftnose is a set of steps leading upto a catwalk. The last boy ishiding up here.

On the catwalk, sheets of plywood and metal lean against the hangar'sside. The final boy is hiding behind one of these sheets. Tell him thegame is over, and the boy leaves without much of an argument.

After Lucas finds all three boys (or when the timer expires), heautomatically rushes out of the hangar. When questioned outside,Lucas tells Marcus of his vision. Marcus isn't sure what to make ofLucas's odd ability.

The scene suddenly flashes forward, back to the cemetery whereLucas is standing in front of his parents' grave with Marcus. If Lucassaved all the boys, hegets an increase inmental health. But if heleft any of the boysinside the hangar, hismental state degrades.

While getting ready to workout, Carla is still thinking aboutthe autopsy and the killer'smethods. She also wonderswhat the connection is to theKirsten case.

Meanwhile, Tylerworries about Sam'sdepressed mood.Mostly he's lookingforward to clearing hismind for a while.

Before getting in the ring, Carlaand Tyler must complete twowarm-up routines each. Thegym is filled with seven differenttypes of exercise equipment,providing a wide variety ofwork-out options. They can evencomplete two routines on thesame apparatus.

Punching ball: Carla canpound away at the punchingball to complete one of herwarm-up routines.

Hamstring machine:Although not as difficult as theweight-lifting bench, this machineis still a tough workout for Tyler,particularly as he approachesthe ninth and tenth repetition.

Radio: Carla and Tyler can alsoturn on/off the radio on thebench. Working out to sometunes is always fun.

Butterfly machine: Availableonly to Carla, the butterflymachine is the toughest warm-up she can choose.

Climbing rope: Only Carlacan use the climbing rope. Thisis the least strenuous warm-uproutine Carla can perform.

Weight-lifting bench: Thebench-press routine is one ofthe toughest work-outs in thegym, requiring plenty of tirelessbutton tapping. Only Tyler canuse this piece of equipment.

Bottle of water: A water bottle sits on the bench amid the exerciseequipment. Both Carla and Tyler can drink from it to get a one-timemental-health increase.

Exercise mat: This is the only piece of exercise equipment Carla andTyler can both use. Carla uses it for abdominal crunches, and Tyler usesit for push-ups. The push-up is the easiest warm-up available to Tyler.

Matching the on-screen movements results in a win, while missed orincorrect inputs lead to a failure.

Following their match, Carla and Tyler discuss the case. Tyler isconfident they'll catch the killer based on the wealth of evidence theyfound at the diner. Carla is much more cautious, feeling the case ismore complex than they first anticipated.

This scene opens in CaptainJones's office as Carla andTyler fill him in on the dinerinvestigation.

Jones wants to know what kind of killer they're looking for. Out of thethree choices, Ritual best describes the case. If you choose Ritual,Carla describes several facetsof the case that point toward aritualistic killing or sacrifice.The Psychopath and SerialKiller options result in less-accurate analyses.

As Carla descends the basement steps leading into the archive room,she admits a fear of tight andconfined spaces. As such, she'snot looking forward to searchingaround the cramped archiveroom. But this is where all theold case files are located, andthey are her best chance atuncovering more details fromthe Kirsten file.


44

I'm gonna go and look in the station archives to see if I can findthe Kirsten file. I suffer from claustrophobia but I'm willing toovercome my fear in order to find out what happened in that diner.

The archives room is very dark. Carla can turn on the lights by inter-acting with the switch on the wall.

Tarot Card BonusA 10-point tarot card islocated in a barricadedhallway across from thestairs. It's easier to spotwhen the lights are on.

Carla can enter the archives room by opening the door at the corridor'send. The archive room is filled with several mobile cupboards containingyears of case files archived on magnetic tape cartridges.

After stepping into the archives room, the camera switches to a first-person perspective. A meter representing Carla's breathing patternalso appears at the screen's bottom. Using the controls indicated onthe screen, keep the white vertical line centered on the meter. If thisline drifts too far to the left or right, Carla stops breathing and runs outof the archives room in a panic,losing some mental health.Unlike an action phase wherequick repetitive inputs are amust, making Carla breathedeeply requires a slow, steadyrhythm. Experiment beforemoving around.

To get past the first set of cabinets, Carla must approach the largewheel on the right. Turning it clears a path through the first set ofcabinets. Carla must continue her breathing pattern as she interactswith the cabinet wheels.

When Carla reaches the second set of cabinets, she must turn thewheel on the left first. This opens a path down the middle of thecabinets, but several crates block the exit.

Carla must rotate the wheel on the right to open an unobstructed pathto the computer terminal.

The room with the terminal is located just beyond the second set ofcabinets. After Carla finds the correct tape cartridge, she can use theterminal to read it. But the terminal needs power first.


45

Chapter 13: The Kirsten File

To turn on the terminal's power, Carla must activate the power switchlocated behind the cabinets to the left. Move toward the cabinet

marked 1970–1975,but don't turn thewheel. Walk down theopen path betweenthe cabinets.

On the other side, Carla must turnthe wheel on the 1960–1965cabinet. This opens the1965–1970 cabinets.

Now Carla must turn the wheelon the 1965–1970 cabinets toopen a path to the power switch.

The power switch is located on the wall just beyond the 1965–1970cabinets. When Carla activates the switch, the terminal automaticallypowers up.

Carla must now find the Kirsten file on the other side of the archivesroom. Start by returningto the terminal. Thecoroner mentioned thatthe Kirsten case wasfrom the 1990s. Thecartridge is located in the1990–2000 cabinet.

To open the1990–2000 cabinet,Carla must first closethe 1980–1985cabinet next to it byturning the wheel onthe 1980–1985cabinet near theterminal—there aretwo sets of cabinetsfor those years.

The lights in the archive room shut offintermittently during Carla's search, butthey always turn back on. When thishappens, focus on stabilizing Carla'sbreathing, even if it means standing aroundtill the lights come back on.

Walk down the aisle Carla just created to access the second set of1980–1985 cabinets; turn the wheel to close it. This makes itpossible to open the 1990–2000 cabinet. But Carla can't reach thatside of the room because an old piece of equipment blocks the path.

Carla must backtrack tothe terminal room andcreate another path to theKirsten file cartridge.Start by closing the1980–1985 cabinetnext to the terminal.


46

Carla must open the 1990–2000 cabinet before retrieving theKirsten file cartridge. After it's open, head right down the aisle to grabthe cartridge off the shelf.

Finally, Carla must return to the terminal to read the cartridge. If shehas the right cartridge, she gets a big mental-health boost. The infor-mation provided on the Kirsten file is very limited, but at least Carla getsthe names of the killer and the officer in charge of the case. Carla putsthese leads to use later in the “Questions & Bullets” and “Janos” chapters.

If you select Tyler, he mustcomplete the "Tyler and theBook" scene before retrieving theKirstin file. After returning fromTakeo's bookstore, Tyler returnsto the police station. He asksDoug at the front desk whereCarla is; he mentions she wentdown to the archives room.

As requested by Carla, Tylerlooks into the book found at thediner, taking it to a storespecializing in rare books.Takeo is the bookstore's owner.

Tyler must follow the same steps as Carla, assuming Carla hasn'talready completed some of them. First he must clear a path to the powerswitch to activate the terminal.

Takeo is on the first floor of the store. Tyler must descend the staircasenear the front door to find him. He's just opposite the staircase,stacking some books on the floor in an odd arrangement.

To get Takeo's attention, Tyler must choose two out of three dialogueoptions (Lose, Insist, or Cough). It doesn't matter which ones. AfterTyler's second attempt to get Takeo's attention, Takeo finally noticesTyler and welcomes him to his store.

As the conversation begins, Tyler has to choose one of three options.Expertise or Book are good choices, even if Takeo can't provide muchinformation. The Caseoption puts Takeo onthe defensive—appar-ently his immigrationpapers aren't totallylegit. Overall, it's best toavoid revealing Tyler'sprofession.

In the second conver-sation round, avoid thePolice option. Insist isthe best choice as itreveals the most infor-mation. But Takeo stillisn't much help.

If Tyler admits he's a police officer,

you initiate another interactive

sequence. If you pass it, Tyler

criticizes himself for his clumsy

questioning tactics.

When the conversation is over, move back toward the staircase. Takeosuddenly decides to help, but Tyler must find a book for him first. Hehands Tyler a book and tells him to find another volume from the samecollection somewhere in the store.

Take the book to the desk behind the staircase to examine the bookTakeo gave Tyler. Someone named De Gruttola edited the book.

While at the desk, Tyler can also examine Lucas's book. Use themagnifying glass to spot an inscription on the opposite side of the titlepage, three pages in. Apparently the book was a gift from someonewith the initials “M. K.”

When Tyler tucks thebook back into hisjacket, a small scrap ofpaper falls out. Pick upthis bookmark to signif-icantly boost Tyler'smental health. It seemsthe piece of paper wastorn off from a computerprintout.

After finding the bookmark, Tyler can leave the store. But findingTakeo's lost book can result in more information and more mental-health points. It's best to stick around.

Chapter 14: Tyler and the Book

The Lost Book

An open book lies on the bench near the front door. On the open pageis a list of names and dates. The name of the editor from Takeo's book(De Gruttola) is followed by the year 1796.

Select the Book iconfrom any of the third-floor white shelves, andTyler picks out the bookTakeo's looking for.

Back on the ground floor, near Takeo, is another open book sitting on adesk. This appears to be a store directory. Books published between1700 and 1800 are on the store's third floor. The books are alphabetizedand color-coded. De Gruttola should be located in the white section.

Tyler must traverse a few different sets of stairs to reach the third floor.When on the third floor, look for the white section, indicated by thecolored marks at the top of each shelf.

Tarot Card BonusA 20-point tarot card is onthe second floor, near thelast green-coded bookshelf.

Tyler's hands must be empty beforehe can pick a book off a shelf.If he's still carrying Takeo's

book, he must set it down at the deskbeneath the stairs.

Now Tyler must return the book to Takeo on the first floor. He gets anincrease in mental health for completing this miniquest.

As he promised, Takeo nowanswers any questions Tylerhas about Lucas's copy of TheTempest. In the first round,Tyler can choose from fourquestions—the Book option isthe most informative.

In the second conversationround, the three unasked topicsreappear and are joined by anew option, Rare. This is the lastconversation round, so choosecarefully. The Rare option yieldsthe most information. Overall,Takeo doesn't help that much.

Day: Time:

Location:

As Lucas walks down the snow-covered sidewalk, a small windowon the screen's right opens, showing the front door of Agatha's house.There's a light just above the door. The house is farther down thesidewalk, on the street's left side.

Marcus advised me to go and see someone named Agatha. Hethought she might be able to help me. I know nothing about her,just her address....

Looking for Agatha

Lucas can ring the doorbell at Agatha's front door. After the first ringand no response, he can open the door and enter the house.

The hall beyond the front door contains three doors, each leading to aseparate room. The room on the left sounds like it contains birds.Lucas can later explore the rooms to the left and right. To find Agatha,he must enter the door at the hall's far end.

This appears to be a séance room. Lucas can examine the table andsome of the stuffed birds, including a large crow. Most of the furnitureis covered with sheets, as if the house hasn't been lived in for a long time.

After entering the séance room, Lucas can turn left to spot anotherdoor. This one leads to Agatha's bedroom, where she's waiting forLucas. Agatha is an old woman in a wheelchair, who appears to beblind. Agatha asks Lucas why he's here. All three responses have thesame result. Without questioning Lucas any further, she assumes hisproblems are insignificant but agrees to hear him out anyway.


Chapter 15: Agatha

Before resuming their conver-sation, Agatha requests thatLucas push her into her birdroom. Before leaving thebedroom, grab the crucifix on thenightstand to earn an extra life.

Four topic options are availablein the second conversationround, as Lucas tries toconvince Agatha he's telling thetruth. Vision is the most inform-ative choice, but no matterwhich option you pick, Agathastill isn't impressed.

With the seed in hand,Lucas must feed allthree birds in the roomby interacting withtheir cages.

When Lucas finishes his task,he can resume his conversationwith Agatha. Choose Trigger toget the most out of this round.The Manifestations option isautomatically asked afterward.

As a follow-up to theManifestations option, Lucasshows Agatha his wrists. Aftertouching the cuts on his arms,she immediately recognizesthem as snakes. Finally, shebegins to take Lucas seriously.

Tarot Card BonusTake a side trip to the adjoining bathroom to find a 20-point tarot cardnear the bathtub. Lucas can look around the bathroom, but there'snothing else of interest.

Lucas can now push Agatha by interacting with her wheelchair.Pushing the wheelchair is as easy as walking. Lucas must move backthrough the séance room and out into the hallway. In the hallway,follow the sound of birds to locate a room filled with birdcages. PushAgatha to the room's center so Lucas can continue the conversation.

During the first conversationround, Lucas can choosebetween Murder or Possessed.Regardless of which topic youchoose, Lucas tells Agathaabout the murder and his trance.Even then, Agatha feels Lucas'sstory is a bit too typical.

Lucas/Agatha Conversation Topics•Murder•Possessed•Believe

•Mad•Lost•Vision

•Trigger•Manifestations

At the end of the second conversation round, Agatha tells Lucas tofeed her birds. The seed is in a small cupboard in the room; open thebottom drawer.


Agatha requests that Lucas push her into the séance room immedi-ately (again, interact with Agatha's wheelchair to push her around).Moving Agatha next to the table in the séance room results in a newset of instructions.

Before Agatha can begin Lucas'shypnosis, she needs some litcandles. The candles are in thetop drawer of the small cabinetnext to the hallway door.

Lucas must place the threecandles in the candle holderson the table, one by one.

Next Lucas must find away to light the candles.Agatha mentions abox of matches insidethe kitchen. Lucas mustreturn to the hallwayand enter the dooropposite the bird room.

The box of matches is on thetable. Lucas can look at a fewother items in the kitchen (likethe stove and refrigerator), butthere's nothing else of use in thekitchen—for now. Later, Lucascan use the knife on the table inthe “Back to Agatha” chapter.

Now that Lucas hasthe matches, hereturns to the séanceroom and lights thethree candles.

Tarot Card BonusLucas can retrieve a 5-pointtarot card from the kitchen.

52

When the room is dark, Lucas can finally sitdown next to Agatha and begin hishypnosis session.

After Lucas lights the candles, Agatha gives him a new set of instruc-tions. He must turn off the light (the switch is next to the hallway door)and close both drapes.

Chapter 15: Agatha

IntrospectionLucas's Mental-Health ModifiersAction Mental HealthPass hypnosis session +20Fail hypnosis sequence -5

Agatha's hypnosis session takes the form of multiple interactivesequences. You must match the on-screen movements with theproper inputs to maintain Lucas's vision. Failing any sequence causesLucas to fall out of the hypnotic state and lose some mental-healthpoints. As the session begins, Agatha has Lucas begin at the diner.

When Lucas realizes he's not sitting at his booth, he enters therestroom and sees himself in a trance, holding the knife. Maintainingthe hypnotic vision causes Lucas to relive the murder.

You get the most useful information when Agatha has Lucas thinkback to the moments before the murder. While sitting at his booth, amysterious man in a cloak or a hooded coat approaches Lucas. Theman sits at Lucas's table and even orders a cup of coffee—but Katedoesn't seem to notice him.

After discussing The Tempest and magic, the man reaches out acrossthe table and touches Lucas's hand while reciting incantations. Thisputs Lucas in a trance.

Instead of reliving the murders, Agatha urges Lucas to follow the manas he leaves the diner through the emergency exit.

The man exits into the alley behind the diner and walks down thenearby sidewalk. Is this who Bogart saw? He eventually stops whenapproaching a figure—and a bloody John Winston spins around for aquick scare, bringing an end to the hypnosis session.

Feeling Agatha knows more than she's letting on, Lucas pleads for herhelp. Who was that man? Agatha says she must confirm some thingsbefore giving Lucas an answer, but she tells him to return tomorrownight. Lucas gets a mental-health increase when Agatha agrees tohelp him, bringing the scene to an end.

I've got to find Sergeant Mitchell to ask him about the Kirsten case.

Sergeant Mitchell

Carla arrives at the police university's shooting range to find Sgt.Mitchell, the lead investigator on the Kirsten case. The cadet near thefront door tells Carla that Mitchell is at the range's far end.

Follow the on-screen instructions for the proper controls to aim, fire,and reload. There are two typesof targets in this minigame:terrorists and innocents. Theterrorist targets are blacksilhouettes holding a pistol.Shooting a terrorist targetadds three seconds to thetimer, lengthening the session.

The Bullet icons on the screen's left side indicate how many roundsare left in Carla's magazine. When no more bullets remain, Carla mustreload to resumeshooting. For bestresults, wait for a lull inthe activity on the rangeto avoid missing atarget, even if it meansreloading with three orfour bullets left. There'sno limit to how manytimes Carla can reload.

As the session progresses, thetargets move around, makingthem harder to hit. They alsopop up and down at increas-ingly rapid intervals. As thetimer winds down, the sessioneventually ends.

Innocent targets are whitesilhouettes with their armsraised. Shooting these targetsdeducts five seconds off thesession timer.

Mitchell is busy firing off a few rounds at targets, but Carla can stillspeak to him. When Carla asks Mitchell about the Kirsten file, he's notsurprised the information is classified.

Before continuing the conversation, Mitchell suggests that Carla takein some shooting practice. Carla must pick up the protective eyewearin the stall, then grab the pistol.

Shooting any part of the rectan-gular target counts as a hit. It'snot necessary to hit the silhouette.

Chapter 16: Questions & Bullets

Carla's performance is rated based on how long her session lasted. IfMitchell is impressed with Carla's skills, she receives a mental-health

increase. But her mental statedegrades if Mitchell thinks herperformance was poor.Whatever her result, her marks-manship skills do not impact theconversation that follows.

Mitchell tells Carla more aboutthe Kirsten case. The killer, AntonJanos, attacked Alan Kirsten ina supermarket with a knife. Theattack appeared to be sponta-neous, with no apparent motive.

In the first conversation round,Carla can choose from threetopics. If she chooses Link first,she can follow up with eitherKiller or Victim. Mitchell hasnothing useful to add about thevictim. Choosing Killer unlocksa new line of questioning.

Choosing Killer in the first roundleads to four new options. OtherElements is the best, as Mitchelldescribes the serpent carvings inthe killer's forearms. Mitchellthen describes the knife woundsto the victim's chest—threestabs, each cutting a main arteryaround the heart.

Carla/Mitchell Conversation Topics• Link• Killer• Victim

• Other Elements• Bizarre• Explanations

• Profile

If Carla chooses Victim in the first

round, she automatically asks Other

Elements in the second round, with

no other choices available.

After learning of Kirsten's wounds, Carla returns to the shooting rangefor another round of target practice. This session is just like the first—shoot the terrorist targets and don't shoot the innocents.

A new conversation roundbegins after Carla completes thesecond target-practice session.Both options lead to the sameinformation, with Mitchelldescribing more identical caseswhere a total stranger sponta-neously stabbed the victim.

The three options inthe second round alllead to the same infor-mation. Mitchell tellsCarla that most of themurderers connectedto these similar casescommitted suicide orwere declared insane.

Choosing Then in the third roundleads to the most intriguing infor-mation. Mitchell describes howhe lost his job as an investigatorbecause he looked too deeplyinto these bizarre cases, hintingat a cover-up.

Selecting Then in the third round also allows Carla to follow up with acouple more questions.If you choose Files, Carlaasks how Mitchellknew the Kirsten filewas classified. Heexplains how all therelated case files werelocked up, with nobodyassigned to them.

As the conversation comes to a close, Mitchell suggests that Carlagive up on her case, explaining there's much more going on behind thescenes than it appears. But Carla is committed to uncovering the truth,no matter what it takes.

I promised to play Jeffrey in a one-on-one basketball tournament forone hundred dollars. I'll find him on the court back behind the policestation and give him a beating he's not likely to forget in a hurry....

The basketball sequence plays much like Carla and Tyler's fight in the“Friendly Combat” chapter. Match the on-screen movements with thecorrect inputs to pass each sequence successfully. The first to score10 points wins the match.

At the first interaction, Tyler can choose to Warm Up or Make Fun.Choosing Warm Up gives Tyler the first possession of the ball. If Tylermakes fun of Jeffrey, he earns some mental-health points but won'tget possession.

If Tyler has possession of the ball, passing an interactive sequencecauses him to score. But if you fail the sequence, Jeffrey getspossession.

On defense, Tyler must pass the sequence to get the ball back.Otherwise, Jeffrey scores and maintains possession.

If Tyler wins the match, he earns 20 mental-health points, and Jeffreycompliments him on his game. Losing the match costs Tyler 30mental-health points. Whatever the outcome, Tyler and Jeffrey quitafter the match—no rematches are available this time.

THE STORMJanuary 2809:27 PMLucas's Apartment

I'll go home after I see Agatha. All I want is to go to sleep, to forget....

When Lucas enters his apartment, the phone is already ringing. Lucasmust walk to the phone and pick up the receiver.

When he picks up the phone, he hears a strange voice. Lucas feels apresence in the room, but when he turns around, no one is there.

The balcony's glass doors fly open as a massive gust of wind rushesinto the apartment, nearly knocking Lucas off his feet.

The rush of windcontinues, throwingapartment items atLucas. He must pass aseries of directional-input actionsequences. If he failsthese, he loses a life.

A few times the action sequenceschange. Lucas must try to reachthe door and safety. However,you must pass rapid repetitiveinput sequences to move Lucascloser to the door. If you fail these,you must restart the scene fromthe last save.

The scene switches toMarcus, who has arrived tosee Lucas. Marcus is worriedabout his brother and wantsto find out what is wrong andhow he can help.

Lucas must continue passing action sequences. He must pay closeattention or he gets really hurt.

Eventually, Lucas's apartment begins to break apart. Lucas must makehis way to the balcony, which seems to be solid. However, it, too,breaks apart, and Lucas falls.

Marcus

Lucas must stay on his toes as his apartment is being emptied one item ata time. What's worse, all the items in his apartment are trying to kill him.

Since he has never been to Lucas's apartment, Marcus is havingtrouble finding the right room. However, Marcus does not have muchtime. Lucas is hanging on for dear life. A timer bar appears at thescreen's top, showing how much time Marcus has to save Lucas. Tofind the correct door, Marcus can look at the names on the doorbells.

Lucas's door is the first one on the right. Marcus must quickly checkthe name on the doorbell and ring the bell. When no one answers,Marcus knocks loudly.

Still no one comes. However,Marcus can hear someonescreaming inside. Lucas mustbe in trouble.

Marcus backs away from thedoor and must pass a rapidrepetition action sequence sohe can bust through the doorand reach his brother.

Time is still ticking away. Marcus must use what little remaining timehe has to run across the apartment to the balcony.

At the balcony's edge, Marcus looks down to see Lucas hanging on tothe edge by his fingertips.

In order to pull Lucasto safety, Marcusmust successfullycomplete anotheraction sequence.

When Lucas is safe, he receives some mental-health points. Marcusthinks Lucas was trying to kill himself since he was alone in theapartment and seems to have imagined the storm throwing things athim. Marcus is determined to help his brother in any way he can.

Tyler stayed on at the office to see if he could find out somethingabout the bookmark we found in the book at the diner. I'll try tohelp him from my place.

The Bookmark

Taking a break from the case for a while, Carla relaxes in the showerwhen the phone rings.

Tarot Card BonusThere's a 10-point tarot card inCarla's bathroom. It's located in thecorner by her shower, just next tothe scale.

Carla must exit the bathroom and pass through her bedroom into theliving room. The ringing phone is on the table to her left.

It's Tyler. He's still at the officetrying to figure out where thescrap of paper he found inLucas's book came from.Carla tells him to fax it over soshe can help.

After talking to Tyler, Carla can move

about her apartment and interact with

a variety of objects. See the “Other

Actions: Carla” section at the end of

the chapter for more information.

You can also switch between Carla

I stayed late in the office to work. I want to find out somethingabout this bookmark. I'm convinced it's the key that will open upthe path. Carla's gone home but she's gonna see what she can dothere. The first one to find something calls the other.

Back at the office, Tyler canaccess an internal monologueas he sits at his desk. Hedoesn't like leaving Sam homealone at night, but solving thiscase is a top priority.

There are threedifferent ways Carlaand Tyler can discoverthe bookmark's origins.

After faxing thebookmark, he shouldretrieve it from the faxmachine and put itback on his desk. Hecan't do anything elsetill he sets down thebookmark.

By standing up, Tyler can pick up the bookmark and carry it over to thefax machine. Tyler can fax the scrap of paper to Carla by interactingwith the fax machine—he gets an increase in mental health forcompleting this task.

Newspaper: In the office, Tyler can pick up a newspaper that is lyingon Carla's desk. The paper is open to the financial page, listing themarket's most traded stocks. Suddenly Tyler makes the connection.The numbers and symbols printed on the torn piece of paper are stockquotes. Tyler earns some mental-health points for making this discovery.

Computer: Carla and Tyler can also make the stock-quotes connectionby accessing the Web on their computers. Under the “World” sectionis a list of stock quotes. For Carla to see this Web page, she must havealready viewed the faxed copy of the bookmark. Whoever makes theconnection gets an increase in mental health.

Tommy

Tommy: When Carla's neighborTommy stops by for a brief visit,he sees the faxed bookmark. Heinforms Carla of the stock-quoteinformation and tells her thatprintouts are usually printed onwatermarked paper, used toidentify the bank of origin.

As soon as Carla or Tylerdiscovers the stock-quote infor-mation, Carla and Tyler mustspeak on the phone. Next, theyneed a way to identify wherethe quotes were printed.

At some point in the evening, Carla's neighbor Tommy stops by for avisit. If Carla and Tyler have justspoken about the stock quoteson the phone, Tommy arrivesimmediately after that conver-sation. But even if they haven'tdiscovered the stock quotes,Tommy still arrives after acertain period of time.

Before answering the door,Carla must put on some clothes.The wardrobe in her bedroomcontains her usual outfit.

Tommy pours the wine intothe glasses and proposes atoast. Drinking the wine givesCarla another increase inmental health.

Tommy has brought over abottle of wine to share withCarla. But they need someglasses before they can drinkthe wine.

Carla finds two glasses in the corner kitchen cupboard, just above the sink.

To begin her conversation with Tommy, Carla must set the glasses onthe table and sit down.

The first conversation roundbegins after Carla and Tommytake a drink. You can chooseone out of two questions here.The Tommy option is the best,as Carla gets a mental-healthincrease when he talks abouthis new boyfriend.

In the second conversation round, you can choose two out of threetopics. Start with the Differenceoption, as Carla tells Tommyshe's happy for him. To end theconversation round, you mustchoose either Work Carla or Carla.Whether talking about her job orher lack of a love life, Carla losessome mental-health points.

Carla/Tommy Conversation Topics

Following the conversation, Tommy produces some tarot cards. Hewants to read Carla's future. Carla isn't superstitious, but she playsalong anyway. When Tommy sets the deck on the table, Carla mustshuffle the cards and set them back down.

Tommy sets the cards out on the table, allowing Carla to turn over twocards at a time. During this interactive sequence, it doesn't matterwhich cards Carla chooses—her reading is the same every time.

As Carla turns over the first two cards, Tommy talks about a darkperiod in Carla's future, causing her to lose some mental-healthpoints. The second pair of cards reveals that Carla is followingsomeone with “a heavy secret.” This also degrades her mental state.

Tommy sees a curse, suffering, and death in the third pair of cards thatCarla picks. She loses even more mental-health points with thisrevelation. With the final set of cards, Tommy mentions a child and twopaths: one toward life and the other toward death. This depressinginformation drops Carla's mental health again.

Tommy is apologeticabout the tarot cardreading as he gets upto leave. Despite Carla'sdrop in mental health,she takes no offense.

If Tyler has already faxed the bookmark to Carla, Tommy notices it,asking Carla if she's thinking about investing. At this point, Tommyreveals that the bookmark was torn off a sheet of stock quotes. He alsomentions the actual paper it's printed on should be watermarked.

Carla can also uncover the truth about the bookmark even if Tylerhasn't sent the fax by the time Tommy leaves. If this is the case, thenafter Tyler sends the fax, Carla can take it to Tommy's apartment(across the hall), where he reveals the same information. Either way,Carla gets a large boost in mental health for this discovery, recoveringsome of the points from her disturbing tarot card reading.

Back at the office, Tyler must sitat his desk and turn on the lamp(with the Light Bulb icon).

After learning of thewatermark, Carlamust call Tyler to givehim the news. Shetells Tyler to inspectthe scrap of paper for awatermark.

Interact with the bookmark for Tyler to hold it up to the light. Use thecontrols indicated on-screen to move the light around until the watermarkappears. Tyler gets an increase in mental health for finding this.

Once the watermark is visible, Tyler must call Carla. Using thewatermark, they can now traceit to the bank where it wasprinted. When Tyler offers to goto the bank, a Yes or No optionappears. If you choose Yes, Tylergoes to the bank in the nextchapter, “Face Off.” If you chooseNo, Carla visits the bank.

Working late in the office makesTyler tired. At some point, helets out a big yawn, droppinghis mental health by 20 points.This action is connected to atimer; you cannot avoid it.

If Tyler calls Carla after discovering thewatermark, the scene ends. Tyler andCarla must complete any actions they wishto perform in their respective locationsbefore Tyler calls Carla.

Lucas sits at his desk in Naser& Jones Bank. An internalmonologue reveals he spentmost of the day sleeping in hisapartment, under Marcus'swatch. Feeling the need to getout, he eventually convincedMarcus to let him go to work.

Carla can open her refrigerator and

her kitchen cupboards, but there's

nothing else to eat or drink.

FACE OFFJanuary 294:32 PMNaser & Jones Bank

Day: Time:

Location:

Either Carla or Tyler can go to the

bank. This decision is made at the

end of the previous chapter, “Dark

Omen,” during Carla and Tyler's

last phone conversation. Although

the opening dialogue differs slightly

as Carla or Tyler introduce themselves

to Lucas, the following dialogue

and possible actions are identical.

For the purpose of this walkthrough,

Carla is the chosen investigator.

I continue to work as usual. No one must suspect anything, notuntil I find out what's happening to me.

Obstruction of Justice

Suddenly, Lucas experiences a noninteractive premonition. He cansee a police officer (Carla) entering his office.

After the premonition, the screensplits. In the new window, yousee Carla or Tyler walkingthrough the office. A timer alsoappears, indicating the time untilCarla enters Lucas's office.Lucas must hide any incrimi-nating evidence in his officebefore the timer expires.

Stand up from Lucas's desk to examine the piece of paper from whichhe tore the bookmark he used in his copy of The Tempest. The pieceof paper is on his desk's right side. Interact with the piece of paper asecond time to make Lucas hide it. The camera cuts away as Lucashides the evidence.

Later, in the “Happy Anniversary“chapter, when Carla is linkingevidence, she can use both the

piece of paper and the copy ofto incriminate Lucas; the paper links tothe bookmark and links to

. If Lucas hides these items now,he can make it impossible for Carla toattain these two pieces of evidence.However, he must maintain a low suspicionlevel throughout the interview with Carla.If his suspicion level climbs too high,Carla can search his office and discoverthe book and the paper.

Richard IIITempest

A copy of Richard III is near the computer stand on the left side ofLucas's desk. Like the piece of paper, Lucas must interact with thebook twice to hide it. As he hides it, he reveals that Marcus gave himthis book and the copy of The Tempest Lucas left behind in the diner.The camera cuts away again as Lucas stashes the book.

Just as Lucas envisioned, Carlawalks through his office doorwhen the timer expires. Carlaintroduces herself and asksLucas if she can ask him a fewquestions.

The first question is easy enough.Lucas must appear cooperative.The Subject and Me optionsallow Lucas to get by withoutraising any suspicions.

Carla's next question initiates an interactive sequence. Passing thesequence reveals Carla's innerthoughts, and Lucas can thenread her mind. Carla alreadyknows the paper is from Lucas'sbank, thanks to the watermark.She's trying to catch Lucas in alie. If you fail the interactivesequence, Carla's inner thoughtsare not revealed.

Suspicion ManagementAt the moment Carla or

Tyler enters Lucas's

office, they have no

reason to suspect

Lucas as the murderer.

Their only lead is the

bookmark with the

bank's watermark.

However, Lucas's

performance and behavior during the interview

can raise their suspicions. A suspicion meter

shows when Carla or Tyler feel Lucas is being

evasive or untruthful. If the meter climbs too

high, Carla or Tyler ask Lucas to come to the

police station for further questioning, ending

the game. But even moderate levels of suspicion

can impact different aspects of the scene—more

on this later. In this sequence, no option or

action will cause suspicion to drop. For best

results, Lucas should tell the truth as much

as possible and lie only when necessary.

Tarot Card BonusA 10-point tarot card is in the rightdrawer of Lucas's desk. Lucas mustretrieve it before Carla arrives.

Telling the truth is the only wayLucas can avoid raising Carla'ssuspicions on this question. Shealready knows that the bank'sstock buyers are the only oneswho use this paper. If Lucaschooses Lie or Ignore, he tellsher everyone in the bank usesthe same paper.

After Lucas answers, anotherinteractive sequence begins. Ifyou pass, Carla's inner thoughtsare revealed again. This time hermonologue differs based onLucas's suspicion level. If Carlacatches Lucas in more than onelie, she feels he's hidingsomething from her.

As Carla asks the question, aninteractive sequence begins.Passing the sequence revealsthat Carla feels her questionsare beginning to upset Lucas.What she doesn't realize iswhat Lucas just saw crawlingbehind her.

Just then, Lucas notices a dust mite crawling behind Carla—this isn'tthe best time for hallucinations. Carla notices Lucas's reaction butdoesn't get suspicious—yet.

Return of the Dust MitesDuring his interview with Carla, the dust

mites from the “Alternate Reality” chapter

return. Lucas has the chance to react to

their presence during three interactive

sequences. But these dust mites can't hurt

Lucas. Reacting to them only causes Carla

to become more suspicious. Plus, Lucas

loses mental-health points each time you

pass one of these interactive sequences.


If Lucas attempts to dodge thisquestion, Carla becomes suspi-cious and insists on an answer.Lucas is better off with the Nooption, telling Carla that thebank's printers leave no identi-fiable marks.

Right after Carla asks the question, Lucas sees dust mites falling out ofthe vent just above his desk. Aninteractive sequence allowsLucas to react to the insects.However, jumping about raiseshis suspicion level and degradeshis mental state. In this case, it'sbest to fail the interactivesequence to prevent Lucas fromflailing about.

Suddenly, a giant dust miteappears directly behind Lucas'schair. If Lucas passes this inter-active sequence, he only drawsmore suspicion to himself andloses some mental-healthpoints. Intentionally failing thissequence is the only way tomake Lucas remain calm.

Whether Lucas reacted to the dust mites or not, he must look at thecomposite sketch and give Carla a response. The sketch is the same

one created by Kate and Tyler. IfLucas chooses the No option, hisresponse sounds less thanconvincing, raising his suspicionlevel. The Joke and Dodgeoptions allow Lucas to sidestepthe question without soundingsuspicious.

Question 5: Composite SketchQuestion: “A witness helped us make a composite sketch of thesuspect. Would you mind taking a look at it?”

Lucas's ResponsesOption SuspiciousJoke NoDodge NoNo Yes

Passing the next interactive sequence causes Carla to comment inter-nally on the composite sketch.Her answer will differ based onthe sketch's accuracy. A Sort ofSimilar or Fairly Similar rankingmakes her think the sketch looksa little like Lucas. But if the sketchis ranked Very Similar, Carla isstruck by the likeness, causingher to become suspicious.

68

Lucas definitely needs a headsup on this relatively vaguequestion. If you pass the inter-active sequence, Lucasdiscovers that Carla knowsabout yesterday's incident,when Warren found him on thefloor near the cubicles. Passingthe sequence also unlocksIllness as a response choice.

The No and Don't Knowresponses both raise Lucas'ssuspicion level. This is why it'sso important to pass the previousinteractive sequence—to unlockthe Illness option. If you choosethis, Lucas makes up a plausiblestory about having infrequentepileptic seizures.

Passing the next inter-active sequence allowsLucas to see Carlaexamining his bandagedwrists, leading to hernext question.

Question 6: Unusual Activity?Question: “Have you noticed anything unusual at the bank lately?”

Lucas's ResponsesOption SuspiciousNo YesDon't Know YesIllness No



If Lucas attempts to ChangeSubject on this question, hedoesn't have to explain hisinjuries, but he raises hissuspicion level. Choosing Liecauses Lucas to make up astory about a home-repairaccident.

Carla/Tyler's Mental-Health ModifiersAction Mental HealthAsk question about paper +10

An interactive sequence beginsas Carla asks this question. Ifyou pass the sequence, Carla'sinner thoughts reveal she seesa resemblance between Lucasand the priest in the photo.

The final dust mite appears immediately after Lucas answers thequestion. This one acts as if it's going to attack Carla. Passing this

interactive sequenceresults in a rise insuspicion and a drop inmental health. Lucasshould just ignore thegiant dust mite—itwon't hurt anyone.

The following interactive sequence provides access to Carla's innerthoughts. Her internal monologue differs based on Lucas's suspicionlevel. If he has a low suspicion level (two or fewer increases), she justthinks he's a weird computerguy. Drawing suspicion three orfour times during the interviewmakes Carla think Lucas couldpossibly be the guy she'slooking for. A high suspicionlevel (five or six increases)results in Carla thinking Lucas ishighly unstable. This leads tomore questions.

Truth is the best option here. Even if Carla learns Marcus is Lucas'sbrother, it does not impact theinvestigation. Lucas can alsochoose Lie to get past thisquestion, making up a storyabout the priest being an oldfriend. However, if you chooseDodge, Lucas becomesdefensive, which raises hissuspicion level.

If Lucas maintained a low to

moderate suspicion level, he

excuses himself to wash up in the

restroom following the question

about the photo. If this is the case,

jump ahead to the “Office Search”

section later in this chapter. But if

Lucas's suspicion level is high,

Carla continues questioning him.


70

Carla gets a mental-health increase for pushing the interrogationforward. Lucas must tell the truth to get past this question. The Dodgeoption only makes Carla reiterate her question, requiring Lucas tochoose from the Lie or Truth options. If Lucas chooses to lie, Carla

wonders why thebank's IT guy doesn'thave access to thepaper. She then askshim to come into thepolice station for furtherquestioning, endingthe game.

After answering Carla'squestions, Lucas excuseshimself to go splash somewater on his face in therestroom.

While Lucas is gone, Carla cansearch his office for clues.Lucas's suspicion level deter-mines how thorough of asearch Carla can perform. Hewon't be gone long, so Carlahas a limited amount of time toconduct her search.

Ballpoint pen: Regardless of Lucas's suspicion level, Carla can takethe ballpoint pen on his desk andearn some mental-health points.The pen can be dusted for finger-prints and ultimately link Lucasto the diner through the printstaken off the glass, thesilverware, and the knife.

Desk drawer: If Lucas attractedmoderate suspicion, Carla cansearch his desk's left drawer.This is one of his hiding spots. IfLucas hid the piece of paper orRichard III, one of the items willbe in this drawer. Carla's mentalhealth increases when she findseither object.

Question 9: Access to Paper? Office SearchQuestion: “Do you have access to this type of paper, Mr. Kane?”

Lucas's ResponsesOption SuspiciousLie Yes (game over)Truth NoDodge* No* return to Lie or Truth

Question 10: Where Were You?Question: “Can you tell me where you were on the night of January26th to the 27th?”

Lucas's ResponsesOption SuspiciousLie NoRestaurant Yes (game over)Resist NoDodge No

This question is Carla's last chance to haul Lucas off to the policestation. Lucas can avoid this by choosing Lie, Resist, or Dodge. IfLucas mentions therestaurant, he immedi-ately incriminateshimself—especiallysince Carla nevermentioned anythingabout the restaurant.

BACK TO AGATHAJanuary 2907:12 PMAgatha's House

Day: Time:

Location:

Agatha asked me to go back to see her today so she could tell mewhat she knows....

Lucas returns to Agatha's house. She is the only one who seemedwilling and able to help him. The anticipation of finding some answersraises Lucas's mental health.

When you're in front of Agatha's house, walk up the steps and openthe door to enter.


72

To reach Agatha'sséance room, walkdown the hallwayand open the door atthe end.

There is nothing else inthis part of the house.While Lucas can look atvarious items in thebathroom and séanceroom, they just wastetime. Return to the mainhallway, and go throughthe door on the right.

However, after Lucas enters the séance room, he realizes something iswrong. The window is open, and someone has just left. Also, the phoneis off the hook, and a police dispatcher says a patrol car is on the way.

A timer now appears at the screen's top, which shows how muchtimes remains before the police arrive. Lucas must walk over to thetable and look down at Agatha on the floor. After checking for breathingand a pulse, Lucas realizes Agatha is dead. This causes him to losemental-health points since his one source of answers is now silenced.

Tarot Card BonusLucas must look for a clue. First go through the door by the windowinto the bedroom. To the bed's right is a 10-point tarot card.

This room is filled with birdcages. Walking straight ahead from thedoor, look into one of the cages. There is a piece of paper inside.However, when Lucas tries to open the cage, he finds it locked. Heneeds a key or something with which to pry it open.

In the room is a chest with two drawers. Lucas can open either one.However, in the bottom drawer, he finds a bag of birdseed. Pick up thebirdseed to see the key inside.

Alternatively, Lucas can leave the bird room and walk across the hallinto the kitchen. There he can pick up a knife from the table and take itback to the bird room to pry open the lock.


73

Chapter 22: Happy Anniversary

With either the key or the knife,Lucas can now return to thebirdcage and open it.

Reach into the cage to pick upthe scrap of paper. It is anewspaper clipping from 1928about a murder similar to theone Lucas committed. Findingthis clue gives Lucas somemental-health points.

Now it's time to leave the house. Return to the séance room and headfor the window. There Lucas can choose to Escape and hop out thewindow before the police catch him and think he is responsible forAgatha's death.

The scene opens with Tylerarriving at his apartment. Fromthe bedroom, Sam asks Tyler topreheat the oven and poursome champagne.

Tyler can complete the first taskby interacting with the oven.

After Tyler pours the champagne, Sam opens the bedroom door,wearing a revealing black dress. Tyler jokingly pretends not toremember it's their two-year anniversary but follows through withsome smooth talk.

Flattered by hiscompliments, Samasks Tyler to put onsome music. Interactwith the record playerto play some music.

The champagne is in the refrigerator. After retrieving the bottle, pourthe champagne into the glasses sitting on the kitchen counter.

Eyewitness Testimony

After Martin visits Carla, she can wrap up

the investigation by taking him the photo

of Lucas from the Naser & Jones personnel

file; it's on the back of Carla's desk,

near the fax machine. Martin immediately

recognizes Lucas as the man from the

diner. Carla gets mental-health points for

showing Martin the photo and completing

the investigation. Linking more evidence

is not necessary. Carla can call Tyler to

end the scene.

Tarot Card BonusA 20-point tarot card is on a tablenear the coffee machine in the openoffice area.

If Carla attempts to leave the open officespace, she loses 5 mental-health points.

Carla can also implicate Lucas by linking two pairs of evidence. To dothis, she must first pick up one object and choose the Memorize option.She must then pick up a corresponding piece of evidence and choose theLink option. Carla's voice-over reveals if there's a logical connectionbetween the two objects. There are seven possible connections:

Bookmark/stock-quotes paper: Thebookmark from Lucas'sbook matches the pieceof paper Carla or Tylertook from his office atNaser & Jones. Tomake this connection,Carla or Tyler musthave found the paperwhile in Lucas's office.

The Tempest/Richard III: Inorder to make this connection,Carla or Tyler must have foundthe copy of Richard III at Naser& Jones. Marcus wrote identicalinscriptions in both books.

Fingerprints from diner/ballpoint pen: The fingerprints from theballpoint pen retrieved fromLucas's desk at Naser & Jonesmatch the prints from the diner.But this link is only possible ifCarla or Tyler grabbed the penat the bank.

Carla must stand behind her chairto pick up the paper from her desk.


76

Taxi list/Naser & Jonespersonnel file: Establishingthis link is possible only if Lucastook a cab home after themurder and if Carla spotted thecab in the street during thediner investigation.

After Carla has either two sets ofmatching evidence or a positiveID from Martin, she must callTyler to tell him the news.

InterruptionComposite sketch/Naser& Jones personnel file: Thecomposite sketch must rank asVery Similar in order to match itto Lucas's employee photo in theNaser & Jones personnel file.

Telephone list/Naser & Jones personnel file: If Lucas calledMarcus on the diner's pay phone, Marcus's number shows up on thephone list. Carla canmatch this to Lucas'sfamily contact infor-mation from the Naser& Jones file. But Carlamust have requestedthe phone list back atthe diner; otherwise,the list is unavailable inthis scene.

The Tempest/Naser &Jones personnel file: Carlamakes this connection bylinking Marcus's inscription inthe book to the family contactinformation in the personnelfile. These pieces of evidenceare always available.

To maximize the amount of mental-health points Carla can earn,match one set of evidence in the

office (10 points), then bring Martin thephoto of Lucas (5 + 20 points).

Nothing worked out as I thought it would. Lucas Kane's apartmentis empty. No doubt that he's guilty: his apartment looks like apsychopath lives there, pentagrams and candles all over the place.

I don't know how he did it, but he managed to escape from fivepolice officers, stop dozens of cars, and disappear as if by miraclein the subway.

We may have underestimated Lucas Kane. I want to get himwhatever it takes.

Let's be honest: we blew it! Nothing happened the way it wassupposed to. Lucas Kane managed to escape and all we could dowas watch.

When he wakes up, Lucas stands and walks around a bit, trying to gethis bearings. How did he end up here?

When Lucas turns around, he sees Agatha seated near the church'sfront. Lucas automatically begins a conversation with Agatha.

Lucas has four optionsfor the conversation.No matter which oneyou choose, there'sonly enough time forLucas to ask twoquestions. Somethingis up, and Agathawarns Lucas to getaway, ending theconversation.

Looking up toward the church's ceiling, Lucas sees a couple of ghost-like angels emerging from the statues. However, they are not hereto help Lucas.

The Angels

An action sequence begins where Lucas must dodge the evil angels'diving attacks. To do this, follow the directional inputs shown on thescreen. Correct inputs and timing prevent the enemies from hitting Lucas.

After a few dodges, the action sequence requires repetitive inputs asLucas runs toward the back of the church, trying to escape. However,he must dodge more attacks using the directional inputs again.

As the action sequence continues (and as an angel carries Lucas), youmust alternate between repetitive inputs and directional inputs. Afterthe angel releases Lucas, he must jump and dodge angelic dives untilhe reaches the church's front door.

Lucas must find some shelter and some food. He begins on a snowyresidential street. To reach Tiffany's, Lucas must turn right at the firstcorner and continue down the sidewalk.

Tarot Card BonusIf Lucas crosses the streetby the tramp, he finds a20-point tarot card by thenewsstand.

Turn around and walk back the way you came. Off to Lucas's left is achain-link fence he can climb. This starts an action phase as he getsover this first obstacle.

Lucas must hop over a second fence, which also requires anotheraction phase. When Lucas is over the fence's top, walk straight ahead.If he looks at the raven on the wall, he loses mental-health points.

As Lucas approachesthe wall's corner, hesees two police officersblocking his way downthe alley. Lucas automat-ically crouches down tohide behind the wall.

While waiting at the wall's corner, Lucas watches the police officersand waits until they turn, looking at each other instead of in Lucas'sdirection. This gives Lucas enough time to move directly across thealley to a corner with a drainpipe.


86

Lucas must climb upthe drainpipe using asimilar action sequenceas he did to get over thefences. If he falls, hemust start over again.

As Lucas walksdown the alley, awayfrom the policeofficers, he comesupon a third chain-link fence that hemust climb over.

Lucas can now climbthrough the windowand enter Tiffany'sapartment.

Inside Tiffany's ApartmentTiffany's apartment consists of four rooms—bedroom, living room,kitchen, and bathroom. Lucas starts off in the bedroom. He needs toget some rest, find something to eat, and look for hiding places in casethe police show up.

Tiffany's apartment ison the left. Lucas cantry to open one of thewindows usingrepetitive inputs. If heopens the windowthis way, he receivesadditional mental-health points.

At the top, Lucas must move along the ledge. He has a limited amountof time to do this—a timer bar at the screen's top shows the remainingtime. As he makes his walk above the police officers, Lucas must passthree separate directional-input sequences. If he fails any of thesesequences, Lucas falls and is caught.

Now Lucas must climb down another drainpipe. If he falls this time, heloses mental-health points.

Carla's investigation next takes her to the Bellevue Asylum, where shemust interview a murderer who has connections to the recent murders.

Interview with a Murderer

Based on the information Sergeant Mitchell gave me, I managedto find Anton Janos, the killer who seems to have followed exactlythe same ritual as Lucas Kane. He went crazy after the murder.He's been locked up in the maximum-security wing of theBellevue Asylum ever since. I decided to go and question him....

While talking to the guard in the control room, the lights dim. Theguard mentions that the power has been going out due to the extremelycold weather. However, the asylum has a backup generator. The guardthen escorts Carla to the cell area and lets her in.

Carla must turn right at the second intersection and continue to theend. Another guard is waiting for her there. After talking to him, Carlacan enter the cell.

When Carla enters the cell area, she receives a mental-health boost.The cell area consists of one main corridor intersected by two perpen-dicular corridors. Carla must walk down the main corridor where shebegins, past the first intersection and through another security door.

Tarot Card BonusIf Carla walks to the maincorridor's end, she finds a10-point tarot card.

Upon entering the cell,walk over and look atthe drawings on thewall. By noticing themnow, Carla gets a bitmore informationduring the interview.

After the interview is over,Carla can exit the cell. If shelooked at the drawings at thebeginning, Janos explainstheir meaning as she leaves.When Carla is outside the cell,the guard talks to her.

Now Carla must leave the cell area alive. To do this, she must controlher breathing as she moves toward the exit. A breathing bar appearsonce the lights go out. Whilewalking forward, use alternatinginputs to keep the slider in thecenter of the bar. It slowly movesto the right while inputs move itto the left. If the indicator reacheseither end of the bar, Carlapanics, ending the game.

Keep moving forward until Carla gets a warning and sees an inmatemoving past her. She must stop moving and breathing until the coast is

clear. This is the inter-section. Carla must turnleft and follow the leftwall. Another inmatepasses Carla to theright. If she stopsmoving and breathinguntil he passes, she willbe fine.

Carla approaches the vacant chair and begins talking to Janos. Shestarts with four different options. No matter which question she asks,Janos gives the same response. The second conversation round hasthree more options. Once again, Janos's response is the same nomatter what Carla says. However, Carla does receive some mental-health points for her effort.

Carla has three options for the third round, and she can ask two ofthese questions before going on to the next round. From this pointforward, it does not matter which questions Carla asks since Janosgives the same answers.

However, before he can say much, the power goes out in the asylum.Carla hears clicks throughout the area as the cell doors unlock,releasing inmates into the corridors. This is a high-security area, sorunning into these inmates means death for Carla. In addition, Carla'smental health takes a big drop.

I have to get past the watchtowers and the patrols to reach thesecret hangar.A narrow board leads from Lucas's platform to where Tiffany is tied

up. Lucas can walk to the board and try to walk across to Tiffany.Protected by copyright. Unauthorized or unlawful copying or downloading expressly prohibited.

The two boys want to see whatis in the secret hangar on thenearby military base. Therefore,Lucas must climb out thewindow. Marcus follows him.

This scene is a flashback towhen Lucas and Marcus werekids. Both are asleep in theirbedroom. Lucas wakes up tostart the scene.

Jump down from the top bunkand wake up Marcus, who isasleep in the bottom bunk.

A map now appears on thescreen. This shows the boys'location and the route they musttake to reach the hangar. Lucasleads Marcus. Start off bytaking a right at the corner oftheir building.

When the boys reach the end of the first building, they must stop.There are two soldiers around the corner to the right. Wait until thesoldiers look in the boys' direction twice, then rush across to the nextbuilding before the soldiers see them.

If the soldiers catch the boys, you

end up back at Lucas and Marcus's

room or to the last save spot. The

boys can then try again to reach the

secret hangar.

When the boys reach the end ofthe second building, find ahiding spot from the soldier whois straight ahead and coming intheir direction. A good place tohide is by the jeep.

After the soldier passes the boys'hiding spot, Lucas and Marcusmust continue past the thirdbuilding and turn right, followingthe yellow trail on the map. At theend of the building near the map'scenter, they must stop, or asoldier on patrol near the centralguard tower will spot them.

When the two brothers aretogether again, follow the pathon the map, between the twobuildings, to a rock they canhide behind. There is anothersoldier blocking their way.

The boys need a distraction. Either Lucas or Marcus can head back tothe corner of the building where they just made the right turn—at the

map's bottom. When the boygets there, he can pick up a rockand throw it toward a soldier.This causes the soldier on patrolin the map's middle to moveaway from his post. The boymust then return to where hisbrother is waiting.

Marcusmust go back toward the map'scenter, turn left, and go aroundthe central building to the spotbetween two buildings that ismarked with a red "X" on themap. There he finds a barrel tokick to lure the soldier over to him.

Marcus's distraction gives Lucas a chance to move to the telephonepole and climb to the top. This requires an action sequence; if you fail,Lucas falls and must start over again.

At the pole's top, Lucas mustcrawl along the wire to anotherpole. Watch the spotlights, andgo past them as they moveaway from the wire or Lucaswill be spotted.

At the other pole, slide down tothe ground and prepare to makethe final dash to the hangar.

If Lucas follows the path on the map and avoids the spotlights, hemakes it to the hangar. Soldiers catch him if a spotlight shines on him.
