Walkthrough & Achievement Guide

Recommended Posts

For maximum enjoyment I would recommend attempting to solve every puzzle yourself first.

This walkthrough will only mention puzzles if they have to be solved to continue or are needed for achievements.

In most cases I will supply the solution to get through each puzzle.

 

Every time you are at the hideout, analyze everything new you have picked up and lift all fingerprints with the UV. This walkthrough assumes you have done this.

 

For 100% you need to have got everything mentioned in the progress tab (except "Objectives with help", which you should keep at 0/29.) Everything else you need to have complete.

Following this guide will get you 100% progress.

Before you go to Final Indictment check Progress Tab. If you are missing anything, go to analyzer and check that you have analyzed everything and lifted all fingerprints and clues.

Also you need to have compared all objects mentioned in guide below.

 

Conversations are the easiest to miss as several are not needed to complete game.

I have noted each conversation that counts in this walkthrough. You need 21/21

 

When going for the "Speed Racer" achievement you can save time by clicking through conversations without waiting for them to finish speaking.

Save time by bypassing Mailboxes and Torpedo tube shooting game also.

Following this walkthrough I finished the game with 100% in 1 Hour 26.19 Mins.

Oops I got my left and right mixed up. Thanks, I will correct it.

 

 

Is this game worth getting.

 

I loved it.

But get the free trial and try it. If you like the trial you'll like the game.

It's worth noting that the Mailbox and Shooting gallery achievements do not unlock straight away.The mailbox one will unlock after you enter the apartment building,and the shooting gallery one won't unlock until you finish and exit the submarine area,I spent extra time re-opening mailboxes thinking something was not registering correctly with the achievement to make it unlock,Looked on TrueAchievements and the guide for Mailbox one stated it unlocked after.

After following the guide I found myself with only 96% -- missing 2 objects, 2 fingerprints, and 4 notes. I realized that there were a number of items I hadn't analyzed so began running through those. I believe what was needed was to analyze the harmonica and the coaster, which allowed me to lift and analyze Brown and Abbie's fingerprints. After wrapping this up I returned to the filing cabinet and completed with 100% and an A rank.

 

Now for a shorter playthrough...

Fantastic guide. Thank you so much. Very easy to follow. My time was 1:16:31

 

I would just add that you can try the 3rd round of the shooting game over and over without restarting. if you miss, just don't shot or hit the woman. The 3rd round will start again and you get another try. Achievement unlocks at the result screen after the QTE.

 

And I hope there won't be another episode. This game was just figuring out puzzles to get to codes and stupid questions. I just go and play my new Layton, thank you ;P
