Laplace no Ma — what should I check first in Basic systems?

Build a party of professionals such as detectives, scientists, and reporters. Classes have different specialties, so assign front-line fighters, investigators, and healing or support roles for reliability. A balanced initial formation is the safer choice.

📋 Progression checklist
Phase Objective Checklist
Early game Establish a class-based party
  • ・Divide attack, investigation, and healing roles by class
  • ・Secure investigative tools and healing options
  • ・Record entered rooms and unexplored sections
Midgame Stabilize mansion exploration and information gathering
  • ・Organize investigated and uninvestigated areas by section
  • ・Identify places prone to supernatural encounters and safe zones
  • ・Keep a separate save slot before supernatural battles
Late game Prepare for powerful enemies and check missed elements
  • ・Prepare equipment and consumables for your main classes
  • ・Review the formation against tendencies of supernatural opponents that caused trouble
  • ・Recheck unexplored sections and events
⚠️ Troubleshooting

1. You do not know where to investigate next

Cause: You have not recorded explored sections

Solution: Divide the mansion into sections, list investigated and uninvestigated areas, and work through them in order

2. Supernatural opponents overwhelm you

Cause: Class roles and equipment upgrades are insufficient

Solution: Clearly assign attack, investigation, and healing roles, then replenish equipment and healing before combat

3. You cannot sustain exploration

Cause: Healing or investigative tools were inadequately prepared

Solution: Secure healing and investigative tools before setting out, and avoid pushing too deeply

Approaching class-based parties

Build a party of professionals such as detectives, scientists, and reporters. Classes have different specialties, so assign front-line fighters, investigators, and healing or support roles for reliability. A balanced initial formation is the safer choice.

  • ▸ Detectives, scientists, reporters, and other classes have different specialties
  • ▸ Balance attack, investigation, and healing roles
  • ▸ On a first attempt, favor balance to reduce mishaps
Exploring and investigating the mansion

Exploration and investigation are central. Examine rooms for clues and gain information through actions such as photography. Rather than advancing blindly, gradually expand your range while tracking checked and remaining places, a standard horror-RPG approach.

  • ▸ Gather clues through room examination and photography
  • ▸ Expand exploration while distinguishing checked and unchecked areas
  • ▸ Prepare healing before entering dangerous places
Fighting supernatural phenomena

Exploration brings battles against the supernatural beings haunting the mansion. Their nature may differ from ordinary enemies, so maintain roles, keep healers and investigators behind the front line, and preserve the ability to recover. Avoid forcing consecutive battles; regroup after depletion.

  • ▸ Maintain class roles when entering supernatural battles
  • ▸ Preserve healing and support roles so you can recover
  • ▸ Regroup rather than pushing deeper when depleted
