Introduction and Tips
For each case, I'll give a chronoligcal inventory of all evidence picked up and deduction solutions. I've spoilered out the answer and provided hints in certain situations, but don't scroll too far down or you'll get spoiled.
There are five optional conclusions: 1 for the first three cases and 2 for the forth. The fifth case has only one answer. The Truth ending is the real conclusion for the case and you need the information from them to start the fifth case, while the non truth endings end the case without revealing the full truth. The branching point between these endings is telegraphed with a prompt for you to save your game.
If you want to get straight to the split point, CTRL-F for Branching Point
There are side stories that can be played at any time, but Side Story 1 spoils the game up to Case 3 and Side Story is an epilogue. There are no deductions in either.
  • The fifth case can be started at any time, but the only way to truly begin is to correctly answer who committed the murder for the first four cases. In other words, you need to get the Truth ending for the first four cases (or read this guide, but that’s no fun) to start.
  • Many questions have multiple valid answers. For example, in one point in case 2, you’re asked to explain why a suspect could not have reported an animal into a room. His bureau file’s explanation that he can’t move anything over 60 kg is a valid answer, but a witness statement specifying that the animal weighs above 100 kg is also a valid answer. For the purposes of this guide, I will only be providing one answer per question
  • You can tell when you’re on the wrong path, as you don’t get to do a Hexalogic, the Chapter abruptly jumps to its comedy scene, and Notrick specifically notes that something isn’t right. The game will allow you to jump back to the divergence point. For efficency's sake, you'll want to do the non truth endings first
  • If you're struggling to figure out what you have to argue in a deduction, reread the log or see what the text says when you answer incorrectly
  • Some deductions will ask for only one piece of evidence and others need two
  • When you present evidence, you need to present a specific part of a document. When you're trying to figure out a puzzle, think "What part of this document proves this point?"
Case 1 - Prologue
When the game starts, you can skip the prologue, which will skip the first five deductions and take you to the first memory survey

Save Point and Branching Point

Hint: If we look at the transcript, we have two conflicting ideas. There’s either a Staffer who’s powers we have not seriously thought about who could have caused the victim’s death or there’s a way to enter the crime scene without leaving footsteps?

Hexa's - Fairy Nuff. :)
(Except for loonies like me who will stare at the picture until we can read it...)
PS Forgot to say I really appreciated the guide, I've noticed that I know the answers a lot of the time but not what the game(s) think are the logic train... Hints really helped in cases 4 & 5.

@Let Me Die
Deduction 2 is now spoiled out
My train of thought is that the hexalogics are unreadable without zooming in, so there's no risk of someone reading something they wouldn't want to

1) The "Hexa Logic" puzzle pictures aren't spoilered, is that deliberate?
2) Also Case 5 - Start to Flashback; deduction 2 picture is also not spoilered.

My thinking is that |you refute the statement "its a coincidence" because it is the opposite of the situation being created deliberately through Doug's skill (he himself didn't do it deliberately but it was the intent of his skill activating). using the deja vu statement just feels flimsy to me since the point of deja vu is that its only the impression of having repeated events and not an actual statement that it happened. plus it could also be a side effect of the time travel ability who knows . thanks for the guide tho. case 4 was definitely a great one

@McCrabby
The argument that we're trying to advance, that Doug willed a murder novel mystery into existence, is supported by Redfins' statement that the case gives her deja vu (that is, it's replicating a plot that already happened, that of the murder novel). Opposing Bryan's statement that the case was a coincidence doesn't necessarily prove that Doug was involved or that it's repeating the novel, if that makes sense?

am I crazy or the start of the truth branch for case 4 doesnt make sense? shouldn't it be oppose bryan's statement with doug's novel imperession I literally looked up this guide because I got stuck on that lol
