LAUNCH MENU: NEW GAME. LOAD GAME. SETTINGS. QUIT GAME
Settings: Adjust music, voice & sound volumes. Choose subtitles. Change language & display. Access bloopers & concept art.
IN-GAME MENU Move cursor to top of screen to access: CASEBOOK. MAP. SETTINGS. SAVE. LOAD. QUIT.
Casebook: Refer to for a description of the current case & objectives. Click on individual headings under clues, suspects & documents for more details.
Map: Access this via the in-game menu or by exiting a location.
Saving: There are 50 save slots including one reserved for an autosave. The game autosaves each time you go to the map screen. You can delete or over-write a previous save but you will not be alerted when you have reached the save game capacity. You may inadvertently lose progress so it seems a good idea to number as well as name saves.
INTERFACE: This is a point & click game played entirely using the left mouse button. The cursor changes to a magnifying glass to look, a mouth to talk & a pointing hand to perform an action, exit an area or a close-up. Use the neutral arrow cursor to move the protagonist if needed.
There is no inventory. Items are either automatically used where needed or via a dialogue choice,
ABOUT THE GAME
Lamplight City is a detective story set in an alternative ‘Victorian’ past where progress in each of the 5 cases (after the prologue) relies on following leads opened up mainly by talking to people. Equally these leads can be closed off by rude or undiplomatic responses (or actions) discouraging further co-operation. Responses to ‘take care with’ appear within a list displayed on the left below the active game-play screen.
If, after having investigated everything you’ve managed to close off enough leads to be left without a suspect, following your ‘sidekick’ Bill’s advice, you can declare the case unsolvable. This is not a dead end! In this event you will just move onto the next case.
Tip: Don’t be hasty to accuse a suspect, prompted by Bill or an objective in the casebook, if you think there’s more to investigate!
If you’re interested: Look out for the many references to the works of Edgar Allen Poe as well as aspects of his life.
ABOUT THIS WALKTHROUGH
A lot of the game within each Case, can be played in any order. This is just one way to get the best endings, but may not necessarily include everything there is to find & the many slight variations.
*Advice displayed like this indicates unwise choices that will close off leads, otherwise its ‘safe’ to choose any response.
I haven’t clarified it in the walkthrough, but it goes without saying that you should talk to characters about all subjects unless you’re absolutely sure you don’t need to. Be sure to eavesdrop on the gossip when you can!
Also, I haven’t mentioned everything there is to look at in the environments, which doesn’t mean you shouldn’t!
Read at the end of the walkthrough examples of choices that close off leads that contribute to a case being unsolvable. I’ve also included some ending variations but there may be more. ACHIEVEMENTS are not included as a full list can be found online.
