1–4 | From the garden to the crime scene

Recording the wet tape in the garden and the envelope at the entrance first helps you distinguish the tapes heard at the crime scene.

  1. Talk to Sally at the lakeside, then open the map and case.
  2. Examine the water and harp in the garden.
  3. Examine the envelope at the front entrance and family tree in the great hall.
  4. Check the portrait, palette, paints, and floor in Flora's tower, then make the first deduction.

5–8 | Left-tower boxes and the library

Get people's statements through basic conversation to unlock more residents' rooms. Freya's diagram and the diagram awarded for Flora's suspicion are separate items.

  1. Listen to the two crime-scene tapes and open the egg. Ask Flora the basic questions.
  2. Check the two model types and Felix in the workshop, plus the photo, diagram, and brush box in Freya's room.
  3. Examine the bird book, blackboard, and globe in the library, then get Fifi's statement.
  4. In the newly opened Fifi's room, examine the suspect board and microscope, and obtain the diary.

9–12 | Right tower and room unlocks

Expand access to Poppy's, Penny's, Percival's, and Fitz's rooms and topics. Compare both sides of Fitz's and Poppy's exterior doors to reach the roof.

  1. Check the stone-square clocks and Hawkshaw, and the greenhouse pot, research, and Fitz.
  2. Examine the music-room statue and Poppy, and the aviary cage and Penny.
  3. Examine the flowerpot and bird box in Penny's room, and the sheet music and metronome in Poppy's room.
  4. Solve the astronomy tower's research puzzle, speak with Percival, and solve Fitz's leaf box and the paired doors.

13–16 | Roof, attic, and eight suspects' suspicions

Rather than merely looking through the telescope, click the window above the crime scene to discover the attic.

  1. Record the four feathers and Lute Statue in the rooftop garden.
  2. Use the telescope to examine the window above the crime scene, then get Reel Thingy in the attic.
  3. After obtaining all eight statements, discuss them with Sally at the lakeside.
  4. Gather the prerequisite conversations and evidence for eight suspicions. Update Flora's diagram and the diary's contents, too.

17–20 | Gather sounds and check four conditions

Opening the harp door alone does not grant underground access. Discussing statements and discussing the crime scene with Sally are two separate conversations.

  1. Discuss the crime-scene evidence with Sally and take the crab toy in the garden.
  2. Use the toy to record four sounds—bell, humming, piano, and bird—and match them to the harp.
  3. Check all 32 clues, eight suspicions, Sally's statement conversation, and Sally's crime-scene conversation.
  4. Finish pre-underground achievements, then enter the opened passage.

Prerequisites for discussing the crime scene include investigating it, Flora's suspicion, and checking the telescope.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

Q1 No new rooms become available wherever I go ▼
A

Ask residents the basic questions about meeting them, themselves, and yesterday, and obtain their Statement. Rooms such as the microscope room open after the corresponding person's conversation.

Q2 The harp is open, but I cannot proceed ▼
A

Check four conditions separately: 32 pieces of evidence, eight suspicions, and Sally's statement and crime-scene discussions. The harp's four sounds alone are insufficient.

Q3 The attic is not on the map ▼
A

Examine the round window above the crime scene through the astronomy tower's telescope. You must select the visible window.
