Fastest Way to Determine Any Killer
By Des
This simple strategy works for all three potential culprits and allows you to find the killer with a single conversation as soon as you unlock shapeshifting (about 1 minute into the game if skipping dialogue, 7 if not).

How To
You need to unlock shapeshifting (as in, advance through the unskippable conversations with Agent X, Violet, Bronwyn, and Chief Dupont until you are allowed to leave), then visit Lexie. Leave immediately and shift to her, then visit Bronwyn. Your only dialogue will be "I'm worried about our alibi." Bronwyn will respond "Don’t worry about that. We don’t have anything to hide", then she'll continue...
  • If Rayne is the killer, "I'm more worried about Ray."
  • If Violet is the killer, "I'm more worried about Violet."
  • If Zak is the killer, "You're just fine."
Notes on Achievements
There are existing guides for getting all of the achievements, so I won't go into depth here, but I will note:
  • "Look Mum I'm A Detective" requires you to choose the correct killer when Chief Dupont asks you who to jail
  • "Big Sleep" requires Rayne to be the killer
The rest of the achievements do not depend on who the killer is.

How do you get it to change? I've restarted 3 times and it keeps choosing violet.

And some informations from me, too. When Bronwyn ask: Was it a gold coin?(Coin which in Dorota's mouth)we say YES. İf she say:Like Birminghamİ killer is Rayne. If she doesn't say that Violet or Zak. At last part(The part which we can talk with Poe) Shapeshift to Zak and go to Violet. Violet will say game over, get out, ı watched you ext. İf she say : After you went, ı came in and saw Dorota. Violet is killer. But if she say: I followed you ,you went Dorota then back to studio. (I mean If she don't say I came in saw Dorota ext.)Zak is the killer. But your way is easier. Thanks to say. (I'm Turkish,so sorry for my English my friend)
