Seance

A murder case has gone cold, and the NRPD has asked you to help them solve it, on account of your abilities as a psychic medium.

Channel the dead, confront them with the truth, help them to unlock their memories, and solve the murder.

*Hints below if you get stuck!*

Controls

Game entirely uses the mouse. Click the Detective/Table symbols when you aren’t in the middle of a conversation to go between the sections of the room.

Click the Ouija board to start a seance. Input the name of a spirit, then click Submit. Light the candles, and summon them.

The buttons at the top of your board allow you to go back and forward in your conversation, or inquire with some hard hitting questions. Sometimes they’ll reveal some extra information.

If you think you have an answer to their riddles, either select it from your notebook or type it out in the Ouija board.

I'm stuck!

* All the evidence you have can be seen in the Detective's room, these are the only valid names to type into the Ouija board. Make sure you click Enter.

* The ghosts talk you through a set topic. You can go forward and back through it by clicking "Keep Going" and "Go Back". "Elaborate" lets you elaborate on *each specific phrase*.

* Evidence is context sensitive. If a ghost tells you you aren't listening to them, you have the right evidence and you're presenting it at the wrong time.

* When ghosts ask you questions, "Who am I?" "Where was I?", that means they want you to tell them.

* Mouse to the bottom of a screen during a seance to bring up the full board. Then you can click Goodbye if you want to see the detective again.

* The detective gives you evidence too. Don't neglect him. Don't neglect any ghost except Altmann, they know more than you think.

* There are multiple ghosts.

* "Elaborate" asks them to clarify the current statement. Some bits of dialogue are hidden and you have to elaborate to reveal them. If you elaborate on every piece of text you will learn the whole story.

Specific hints

* You have to type Tamsin's name into the board and click Enter

* Is Tamsin asking who she is? Tell her her name.

* Altmann is a name. Did you summon him?

* Tamsin can't remember where she was. Do you have a location to show her?

* Make Tamsin elaborate. What buildings were you near?

* Aria says that someone from her family probably misses her. Who might that be?

* Did you ask the detective about Dylan?

* Did you show Dylan all the evidence? There's one piece of evidence that's used twice. Where was he going?

* Tamsin witnessed something. What crime could be witnessed?

* Aria was accosted by someone who broke in. Who breaks into buildings?

* Make Dylan elaborate. What happened when he broke the pipe?
