Big shoutout to @エスタリオラ and their guide in Chinese who inspired me to make this guide!
During my first go I had to pull some words up in Mandarin (by changing language) from there as some prompt words in English end up super specific (or conjugated lol)
Give them some love on their guide too!

This guide aims to be an exhaustive list but may not be a full map completion due to some quirks with the way the game saves progress, not gonna spend time testing it 100%

{name} Indicates where you need to choose a different personality to talk to. I’ve also annotated where each question should be completed

I've also added a convenient way to [Ctrl+F] if you need the answer to a specific question so go ham

Skip past this black box to the word salad if you don’t want MAJOR gameplay spoilers

This game is meant to be replayed multiple times (2-4 playthroughs) as one round isn’t enough to get all of the information in time for the verdict. It took me 3 playthroughs to comfortable reach the best ending and I suspect a completed map/achievement list

<<keywords>> indicate lines of interrogation you’ve completed and can be used in subsequent playthroughs to skip having to redo sections – they’re not perfect but they help skip 95% of already completed dialogue/progress. I’ve also noted that some bubbles completed on the map don’t get completed properly between playthroughs, can’t do much about that I’m afraid.

Note: Some clues require you to search online a real book, quote or person – definitely have your browser ready for this one! The prompt words have also been syntax-ed to look as close to the word map in-game as possible, so the order you'll use each word won't be exact in all playthroughs

{Sofia}
| Name | Maze | Gray | Lonely |

We know the end of the maze holds death? Answer: Flowers for Algernon (Question 1)

There are multiple "me's" within me. Yes, I am ___. A: Multiple Personalities

| Murder | Roberts |

| Midtown | Slum | Centford | Injury | Bruises |

| Olivia | Music | Jazz | Charles Parker | Classic Movies |

| Gray Harbor | Warehouse | Suit | Seek Street | Midtown | Mirror |

| In Common | Alone/Lonely |

At this point, you’ll get to meet your first new personality – Olivia

{Olivia}

| Christmas |

On Christmas Eve, Olivia was ___. A: Shot (Question 4)

Who || shot || Olivia? A: Police (Question 5)

Who is Olivia? A: Kidnapper (Question 6)

This marks the end of day one – note that Day one doesn’t wrap up until gaining Olivia's trust (tutorial mode I presume), though her route is not over, more on that later.

From now on though, each prompt spends the time meter on the top left, and you’ve got 5 days to figure out who the culprit is (6 if you include tutorial day, day 7 = decision day)

---

Day 2 starts with you meeting Isabella for the first time (On your first playthrough, this only occurs once day 2, the remaining days will have a random unlocked personality start the day)

You won't be able to do much here as Isabella will be panicking, so immediately {Sofia}

At this point, you should be able to give a [mirror] as a gift to {Sofia} for an unlock in the gallery, as well as some [Sweets] to {Isabella} (random encounter required, if not, try before the final stretch)

Florence can be triggered at any point during the Isabella discussion once you've unlocked the [Prayer] prompt while talking to {Sofia} but I've split it up for clarity.

{Florence}
She seemed to want to wear something. What is she searching for? A: non-prescription glasses (Question 11)

What did the Millers call Sophia? Florence's "___" A: Replacement/Substitute (Question 15)

From here, you can give a [Scented candle], [sunglasses] and [Pillow] to Florence for 2 unlocks in the gallery (you may need to get the random idling encounter for the [Pillow] prompt)

Amy is triggered through the [Competition] prompt when interacting with {Florence}

{Amy}

{Sofia}
| Farewell Party | Guest of honor | Blackwood | (Question 19)

{Amy}
| Missing | Playground | Charm |

{Sophia}
| Charm |

{Amy}
What exactly is the Charm? A: Charm

| Ghost Square | Shed | Well | Pitch Blackness | (Question 20)

{Sofia}
| Shed | Well |

Where was Sophia stranded on the day of the farewell party? A: Well (Question 21)

Who pushed Sophia down? A: Zoe (Question 22)

At any point while talking to Amy, you can give her [Cat ears] to wear - it persists across swaps to other personalities (unlike Florence's glasses), neat!

At this point, now you have the trust of all 5 personalities, now it's time to piece the puzzle
