Still Life Hints

Crime Scene: What exactly does Claire want me to do?

  • 1 of 9: When you speak with Claire -- the police officer in the bathroom -- she gives you instructions of what to do next.  Note: The small diagram of a mouse indicates which mouse buttons to click.  In this area of the game -- using the left mouse button (when the left button in the diagram is red) reveals dialogue that is necessary to continue with the game.  Using the right mouse button (when available) reveals dialogue that is optional.
  • 2 of 9: You'll need to collect evidence, but some additional tools will be needed first.
  • 3 of 9: Claire said to look in her briefcase in the kitchen for some forensic tools.
  • 4 of 9: She also mentioned that you will need to take photographs of the evidence before disturbing it.
  • 5 of 9: There are five pieces of evidence to find.
  • 6 of 9: Once you've found all the evidence, you will need to report what you've found...
  • 7 of 9: ...back to Claire.  Note: you won't be able to speak with Claire a second time until you've found ALL the evidence.
  • 8 of 9: The first thing Claire says is to put all the evidence in her briefcase -- then return to speak with her again.
  • 9 of 9: After a brief cut-scene, Victoria will be stuck upstairs.
