I'm not sure how to do the formatting for posts that may give away solutions, so I'll try my best.

I think I'm on day three, I can't really remember.  I just got the fish hook from the sushi place.  I've given both finger prints and the blood sample to the scientist.  I've moved the trashcan so I can look through the vent, but I can't go inside the kitchen.  I feel like I've talked to everyone.  What do I need to do next?

[CosmoQueen]

Duh!! *smacks head* Didn't even think of that!! Thanks

[Artphreak]

I have written a walkthrough if anyone is interested...I don't have any web space to post it on so drop me a message if you would like a copy

**EDIT**
Actually it is a pretty short walkthrough so I could post it on here, if anyone wants it

Now I see what I did wrong....I found a bug in the game.  I took a fingeprints from the sword Shinolis back and brought them both to the lab.  Then I also went back there again and took another fingerprint from that same sword and took it to the lab and the lab man said they matched and gave me the confirmation paper.  So I never really went into the womans house and got the print from the sword on the wall (I found this out when I replayed the game)  Guess that is why I couldnt find the inspector??

Im in the building, where you need to get a piece of metal and wire for the keypad.
I got the metal from bending the thing where you came in, but where's the wire?

Nice one Artphreak, I haven't read it all but there's one thing I noticed towards the end that could be changed.

Spoiler

Just a minor thing but I would include what you have to do if you don't ask Simon to come with you to the Yamamoto biulding.

[paolo]

I'm stuck even earlier than everyone else...

Spoiler

I show the desk sergeant Percy's card but the game says "You don't think that offer would be appreciated." Talking to him, he only says "Good day to you, sir."

I have talked to Simon, read the newspaper and picked up the robe from the bathroom. Is there something else I need to have done?

[close]

Thanks.

[Rosie]

Spoiler

You are talking about the man behind the glass window before you can get into the door aren't you?  did you talk to him first to ask to see the inspector? you are using percys card?

I could be wrong but

Spoiler

it sounds like you have only used one of the conversation bubbles on the desk officer...there is one with an exclamation point (for casual conversation) and one with a question mark for actual questioning...

[close]

and dg: I honestly didn't know there was another way....**EDIT-I added that to the walkthrough**

[yipshi]

Um, maybe I'm just brain dead, but I can't seem to be able to actually open the notepad.  I've use the eye, hand and pointer on it, but it doesn't work.  Anyone else have this problem?

[nihilyst]

You can access it via the icon bar on the top of the screen.

[Rosie]

I DONT THINK THE NOTEPAD IS EVER USED.  I KNOW I NEVER USED IT......ANYBODY ELSE THAT USED IT RESPOND HERE.

[sergiocornaga]

Uh... you use the notepad to

Spoiler

write down the names of the victims?

[close]

Do you get anything special this time for completing the game with a perfect score?

[Grundislav]

Yes.  There is also an easter egg that can be activated during the game that will play after the credits if you get a full score.

[sergiocornaga]

Curses! If only I had remembered to read the newspaper on day 4. I remembered on day 5, but nooooo, it was too late then. Ack.

[Rosie]

Spoiler

yes you do use the notebook for writing down the victims, but then it gives you a separate sheet of the names.  I think what he was referring to was you almost want to click the notebook in the inventory to read or write down something, but that doesnt work.
