Still Life Hints

Using subtitles and transcripts

  • Subtitles can be turned on from the main menu.  Since there is a lot of dialogue between the characters within the game, it will make it easier to follow the story, if you keep subtitles turned on.

    If you are having a problem with any of the conversations, or wish to go back to a previous conversation and review it, you can refer to the journals that are kept by both Victoria and Gus.  This will provide in chronological order -- with the most recent additions at the bottom -- a written text of all dialogues that have taken place so far in the game.  You can scroll back through these at any time for information you think you may have missed. 

    When accessing transcripts, be sure to click on the appropriate chapter on the left side.  The screen always defaults to the first chapter for that character.
