This guide is a work in progress, and will only guide you through the first two episodes. If there is any false information in this guide, or if it is missing any details, I apologize. There shouldn't be, but there's always the chance that I accidentally deleted some information while formatting this guide. If you have any questions or comments concerning false or missing information in this guide, or would like to be notified when this guide is updated, Register or Login and send me a PM.


Each section of this guide may seem to begin in odd parts of each episode, rather than the very beginning. The reason is simple: I decided it would be best to skip mentions of cutscenes and the like, and focus only on the playable parts of the game, such as investigations or cross-examinations.
