THE END
To declare a Case Unsolvable
Here are just some of the choices/decisions that contribute to eliminating all suspects in each of the Cases.
CASE 1
Ask Sabine Martin for tea. Leave without looking behind the curtain. *Pressing Sabine further about her backroom, if you look, will make Albert a suspect.
Anger Juliette by telling her you found her key in her room. She won’t be named as a suspect as she won’t elaborate on her aethericity experiment.
Threaten to report Andrew to the police.
Tell Amelie that you’re a private investigator.
CASE 2
Leave the Harris’s Residence instead of following Malcolm into the nursery.
Tell Angela Maxwell that you think she’s insane.
Insult Angela Maxwell, before looking at the books in the bookcase, by accusing her of being afraid of the spirits telling on her. You won’t discover the significance of the chicken bones & dust from her book.
Blow up the boiler outside Linda Walker’s Residence.
CASE 3
In Case 2 tell Angela Maxwell that you think she’s insane.
In Case 2 insult Angela Maxwell by accusing her of being afraid of the spirits telling on her.
In Case 1 accuse Juliette Montgomery of the attempted murder of her mother Laura Dupree.
Jean DuPree won’t allow you to remain in the bank to talk to Peter Andrews
Upset the secretary of Usher & Price by showing him Desiree’s Ashes.
Anger Addy by complimenting her again. You only need to do this once.
CASE 4
Tell the woman at the Opium Den you’re a private investigator & that you’re serious.
This closes off the lead to Singin’ Tom. The description of the strange man will be incomplete.
Some Ending Variations
At the end of Case 4 you will be left with a scene in the Riverview Asylum if you declare any 2 of Cases 1 -4 unsolvable.
During Case 5 you will be left with a scene in Bow Street Gaol if:
You blame Upton when Snelling asks about the sketches.
You get beaten up by visiting the wrong Reddite.
At the end of Case 5 The Justice Killer will confront Miles in Upton’s apartment if:
Mrs DuPree is not arrested at the end of Case 1.
