How to use
This guide only lists actions that you must do to progress. You should only use it if you are somehow stuck. In that case check your current objectives and search for those (Ctrl+F). Also 2 most common problems are marked as:
(#P1) - looking for 2nd protest in episode 2
(#P2) - looking for Abraham in episode 4


This means you need to open corresponding bookmark or view a chat/call or open a device
/Reader    /The National Beholder    /Headlines ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ Website // Target ▲ Bookmark // Chat // Call // Device ▲ ▲ Reader // Listener // Insider

Those mean you need to do described action
* Select "Unknown Person" profile * Scroll image gallery

Those mean you need to upload specific or conlicting datachunk from current page
."Assault on a police officer" ? Upload conflict solution

Those mean you receive new objective or complete existing one
> Adapt all data from police record. < Adapt all data from police record.

You need to upload almost every account (Tel, uTell, Mail, UID) you find to progress.
As of current game version, you don`t need to upload any portrait (with exception of the very first) even if you are told you do.
A target cannot be engaged in more than one ongoing call, so sometimes you need to wait for it to end.

Hey,
for some reason i have not got :
/Reader /The National Beholder /Obituaries Bonton Week 51/2016
."December 18, 2016"
any advice?
72ggs 18 Nov, 2019 @ 12:44pm 
Ohhhhh really... It turns out I just disabled that blog clue for whatever reason. Now I enabled it and it's all up and running.
Thank you for your help and explanation, you indeed saved me from starting it all over and therefore, most likely, making the same mistake again.
Panterich  [author] 18 Nov, 2019 @ 11:55am 
>> I don't have the "Hancock's Writing on the Wall"
You pick it from the mails between Harrison and hacker - upload "my blog"
72ggs 18 Nov, 2019 @ 11:47am 
So do you think I shall just start a new game as the only solution?
72ggs 18 Nov, 2019 @ 11:47am 
Oh my, isn't my save just broken.
The thing is, I don't have the "Hancock's Writing on the Wall", I reckon. I've never come across the debate club. As for the "since Abe dissappeared" bit, I did upload it right away. But at a certain point my game just stopped giving me clues, even though it shows me there's something new in the web on the Thought's site. Checked it all a dozen times, nothing there.
Panterich  [author] 18 Nov, 2019 @ 10:40am 
Anyway, make sure you`ve uploaded "Thought didn`t do anymore since Abe disappeared!" from a call between Juliet and Harrison. Thats an upload many players miss and half of the reason behind the creation of this guide.
Panterich  [author] 18 Nov, 2019 @ 10:36am 
Sorry for confusing you with content you haven`t reached yet (Nina). You should get a clue right on your next couple of uploads.

As to your original question - i`ve just re-played it. I got a new bookmark right the moment i`ve uploaded "I am looking for people willing to join a debate club called the ..." from the "Hancock's Writing on the Wall" right as my guide suggests.

It looks like you got a bug because i believe you can`t get to that point without taking all the right steps. You can however check those steps in this guide, section #E2.
72ggs 18 Nov, 2019 @ 10:14am 
Eventually it seems that I have no clue who is Nina, too. I kind of think I missed something important. I was playing on my own without tutorials and walkthroughs, though the game still let me finish day one and on day two I still somehow got to the "remaining protest" part, so I really don't know why is that so.
Panterich  [author] 18 Nov, 2019 @ 9:15am 
Entry 5 should be available after you get Nina`s hadle from the previous step.
I`m not sure what more i can add there and i even can`t seem to access my steam library since the last update :steamfacepalm:
Guess i can try to reinstall the game from store page
72ggs 18 Nov, 2019 @ 9:11am 
And that Entry 5 is Error 403 - Forbidden, too
