I made this guide specifically to help players solve the puzzles in "High Falling Manic" and get the achievements.
I'll let you deal with the proper crime-solving on your own - after all, that's the whole fun of a detective novel!^^
If I got anything wrong, please let me know.

The achievement you get for this one is:
Brute Force Hacker
At least if you manage to solve it withing 5 minutes.



First question: What is strange about the code?
Now remember, both the main character and the owner of the album live in China.
Therefore, the hint being in latin letters would be the most eye-catching (and apparently annoying) thing for Fei.

Second question: Which language will the answer be in?
The creator of the password went through all the trouble of using latin letters, so let's just assume that the answer will be in english, the most brought-up foreign language in this game so far.

Third question: Given the previous conclusion, what else is noticeable?
Well, obviously it the one we haven't picked yet: The fact that the hint contains no punctuations at all.

Fourth question: What is the crucial point about the "t", "h" and "e"?
Since Fei already pointed out to us that they might form the worde "the", that would of course the number of separated letters. Specifically, the fact that the numbers of letters between the higlighted ones are the exact same.

Fifth question: What does the hint actually say?
So if our first letter is "t" and then we skip 6 to get to "h" and another 6 to get to "e"...
We get "n" "a" "m" "e" - name - next. You know where I'm going with this, right?
In the end, we arrive at "the name of my high school".

But seriously Yi, if you want to know this person's gender, just ask them.

For solving this one, you get:
Bosom Friend
But only if you manage to get all 5 hints within the time limit.


I did this one through trial and error, so here is my solution:
Xiao Yi's personal matters -> Something sentimental -> Families
Something serious -> Something academic -> Forensic science
Xiao Yi's personal matters -> About the troubles
Something serious -> Kong Quing's suicide
Something relaxing -> Video games -> Mystery games

You're really acting suspicious my friend and - since this is a mystery game - I hope that fact exonerates you.

You don't get an achievement for this one, but here is my solution anyway.

The annotation -> The two capitalized letters -> -1

It's pretty easy, actually. Just go back one letter in the alphabet for each letter written and you get:
"Midnight comes What will you lose"

As is the answer to the riddle. It has to be a four-letter abstract concept, so "time", obviously.
That kind of riddle is my favourite, haha.^^

Whoo boy. The time limit for this one is pretty tight, especially if - like it did for me - the slightly awkward translation caused you to read over the TIPS section several times. Luckily, we have save scumming.
Data Structure
You have to finish within three minutes.



The tips section for this one is essentially saying that we should move the two letters with smallest value - D and C - to the lowest squares. So let's do that.
Next, the L-Node < R-Node thing just means that, of the two branches on any level, the left one always has to have a lower value than the right one. So make sure that D is left, C is right.
It also means that, on the next level, the letter with the highest value - A - should go to the right
Now, only E and B are left. Looking at their value, E goes left, B goes right.

In other words, your final solution should be, from left to right:
EBDCA

Not going to lie, I was kind of baffled that someone hacking the account (or guessing the password) wasn't the first thing they thought of, given how often you hear about that sort of thing happening to internet personalities.
Then I remembered that this game takes place in the paaaaaast, haha.

Thanks for reading!
Again, please let me know if there are any mistakes.^^''
