INSTRUCTIONS

ON-SCREEN CONTROLS

D-pad moves Puck. I examines, talks, and advances. T opens the cyberdeck, notebook, and pouch. M opens the game menu. A throws a punch.

KEYBOARD

WASD or arrow keys move. Press Space or Enter to interact and advance dialogue.

THE CASE

Investigate Milo's death. Find the main clues in each room and follow the story wherever the evidence leads.

FINDING CLUES

Green outlines mark nearby interactables. Pink circles hint at hidden Easter eggs. Examine everything, and check the notebook often.

When you examine something up close, tap INFO to read Puck’s notes and description of what he’s looking at.

CARD COLLECTION

Talk to people, investigate key objects, and find clues to earn their cards. View them anytime in the cyberdeck’s CARD COLLECTION menu.
