GERMS: Nerawareta Machi（PlayStation）
🔎 Putting clues and possessions to use
How to organize interview information and acquired possessions, then connect them to your next action.
GERMS: Nerawareta Machi — what should I check first in Clues and possessions?
Investigative information provides the basis for deciding where to go and whom to meet. Fragmentary information is easy to forget, so write it down and connect it to likely related people and places to keep the investigation moving.
| Phase | Objective | Checklist |
|---|---|---|
| Early game | Understand the town's layout, transport options, and infection risk |
|
| Midgame | Collect clues and expand the investigation as time passes and mutations spread |
|
| Late game | Focus the investigation on the truth while avoiding infection |
|
1. Infection or mutation quickly causes game over
Cause: You are not sufficiently avoiding dangerous contact or overextension
Solution: Avoid reckless actions, keep separate saves before risky scenes, and proceed cautiously
2. The investigation stops because you do not know where to go next
Cause: Your clues are disorganized and destinations remain vague
Solution: Write down what you learned and systematically revisit likely related places and people
3. Travel and the clock prevent you from exploring the whole town
Cause: You are not selecting transport efficiently
Solution: Choose transport by distance—walk nearby and use cars or trains farther away—and manage travel and time together

- ▸ Write down information as you obtain it
- ▸ Connect each clue to potentially related places and people
- ▸ When stuck, review notes for your next move
Objects obtained during exploration may help later. Even if their use is not immediately clear, remember where you found them and try them in related situations. Reviewing unused possessions when blocked can reveal a way forward.
- ▸ Remember acquired objects together with their location and circumstances
- ▸ Keep objects of unknown use for later scenes
- ▸ When stuck, review unused possessions
