I was considering a full walkthrough with all the bells and whistles but in the end, I decided against it in favour of a shorter guide focusing only on the tricky parts, using the extensive notes I jotted down while playing the game.

Making progress in the game isn't that hard, for the most part. Often it's enough to:

• thoroughly investigate the scene
  
• exhaust all dialog options
  
• move between locations to trigger specific events
  
• check your diary if in doubt about your next objective

But then you might run into one of those "tricky parts" that can stump you for a while. Your mileage may vary, of course: what constitutes a "tricky part" is debatable at best, after all. However, I made sure to include all encounters and puzzles/riddles that require specific choices in order to progress.

This guide should help you if you hit a snag, for whatever reason, whether you're playing the game for the first time or re-playing it. I believe it's the most useful on subsequent playthroughs by serving as a kind of a cheatsheet when you want to simply speed through the game and need a reminder of what to do. Either way, feel free to use it at your own discretion.

Should you find this guide useful in any way, be sure to rate, award, favourite and share it to spread the good word and boost its visibility :-P
