General Hints

Query the tasks section (purple ☑ bookmark) in your notebook if you need hints on what to do next.
Hold the space bar to display interactable objects in each area.
Each chapter in the game is divided into a day section and a night section, but the game handles these transitions automatically — time will pass when you have completed all of your active tasks.

Day 1

Getting out of the office:

Hint 1: You need to find something related to the Soothsayer
Solution: Try examining the newspaper rack and reading the articles.

Library:

Hint 1: The information you need is in the newspapers on the microfilm archive.
Hint 2: Did you examine the calendar?
Solution: Use dates in the calendar with the microfilm shelves to find news coverage about the Soothsayer.

First microfilm:

Hint 1: You need to work your way back from murder date to murder date.
Hint 2: Did you have a look at the original articles that you found in Rain Investigations?
Hint 3: Did you notice the mention of Stormchaser?
Hint 4: Did you try using the computer?
Hint 5: Did you try looking up Stormchaser on the computer?
Solution: Select April 25 on the calendar and use that date with the microfilm shelves.

Second microfilm:

Hint 1: In the Kassidy Sun #845, there is mention of coverage of the previous victim in issue #842.
Hint 2: The number of issues between the two papers is key.
Hint 2: The Sun may not necessarily be a daily newspaper.
Hint 3: Perhaps it is weekly.
Hint 4: Remember that you can use the calendar not only to select dates, but also to track days and weeks.
Hint 5: Try counting back from the publishing date of Sun #845 in the first microfilm and locate a likely date where issue #842 was released.
Hint 6: Assume that the Sun is a weekly paper and count back three weeks from April 29.
Solution: Select April 8 in the calendar and use that with the microfilm shelves.

Third microfilm:

Hint 1: Is there any indication in the two newspaper articles of when Eric Holloway’s murder occurred?
Hint 2: The murder occurred on the month before publication, i.e. March.
Hint 2: Maybe the moon cycle is in the calendar?
Hint 3: See if you can find the full moon in there.
Solution: Select March 12 in the calendar and use it with the microfilm shelves.

Fourth microfilm:

Hint 1: Is there any information about when Rose’s murder occurred in the two articles?
Hint 2: Perhaps holidays are marked out in the calendar.
Hint 3: Look for Statehood Day in the calendar.
Solution: Select February 5 in the calendar and use it on the microfilm shelves.

Found all the microfilms, what now?

Hint 1: Try asking Art and Eileen about objects in the room
Hint 2: Did you ask Art about the church expose on the wall?
Hint 3: Did you ask Eileen about Art’s new lead?

Hint 5: Try asking Art again about the church expose and see if you can provoke him to piss of Eileen and make Kathy look good.
Hint 6: Eileen might subconsciously react when she hears certain things.
Hint 7: Day still not ending? Don’t forget to ask Eileen about scrying mirrors. If you don't have "scrying mirrors" in your notebook, read all the article pages from the library.
Solution: Ask Art about the church expose on the wall, go through the different topics and select dialogue options that are sympathetic to Christians. Eileen will make a noise in the background when you have selected the right option. After that, ask her again about Art’s new lead. Also make sure to ask Eileen about scrying mirrors, or the day won’t end. If you don't have "scrying mirrors" in your notebook, be sure to browse through all the newspaper articles.

Hint 1: First off, you can’t let the ranger enter the cabin.
Hint 2: Your key works from the inside.

Hint 4: Did you search the address book?
Hint 5: Did you try calling “JK”?
Solution: Examine everything on the desk, click the calendar and examine one of the “JK” related entries to add it to the notebook. Search the address book for “JK”, and then call the related number.

Pager (Part 1/4):

Hint 1: Your first objective is to figure out what “1011” means. Maybe some of the other clues can help?
Hint 2: Try the police manual.
Hint 3: Check the morse section.
Solution: JK

Pager (Part 2/4):

Hint 1: So, JK used 1011 as a prefix. What would this correspond to for Lucas?
Hint 2: Check the morse section again.
Hint 3: See what morse codes would correspond to Lucas’ initials, “LL”.
Hint 4: Alright, so, 1212 should be the prefix for Lucas’ initials. What comes next likely uses a different encoding.
Hint 5: Those 10-codes in the police manual look interesting…
Hint 6: Is there any 10-code that has to do with arranging a meeting?
Solution: 12121025

Pager (Part 3/4):

Hint 1: 10-20000 is too long for a 10-code. Maybe it’s split into two parts?
Hint 2: “10-20” + “000”
Hint 3: “10-20” means “Location”. Is there anything in the clues that explains ‘000’?
Hint 4: The post-it mentions that ‘000’ means ‘?’. Should this be taken literally?
Hint 5: You need to answer the question “Location?”
Hint 6: Kathy only knows one location in Lucas’ list, the park.
Hint 7: The post-it mentions the park, once again. 1x4. How can this be expressed in numbers?
Hint 8: 1111
Hint 9: Don’t forget all three parts of the full code: The initials prefix, the 10-code, and then the last part to designate the location.
Solution: 121210201111

Pager (Part 4/4):

Hint 1: We’ve got the location sorted, now JK is asking for what time to meet. Kathy already has one in mind, 2pm.
Hint 2: We should use the same structure again: Initials, 10-code, and then the time.
Hint 3: It’s likely that JK expects military notation, it’s the standard for law enforcement and also what Lucas wrote in his calendar.
Solution: 121210361400

Park:

Hint 1: Maybe we contact JK in the exact same way as before?
Hint 2: That payphone looks useful.
Solution: Call JK's pager from the payphone.

Day 5 — KCU, Cooper

KCU Hack (Part 1/4):

Hint 1: Did you try to boot up Andrea’s computer?
Hint 2: You don’t have everything you need in the dorm room to crack the computer.
Hint 3: Try the office.
Hint 4: Eileen might be of some help.
Hint 5: Did you check the bookshelf?
Hint 6: The book mentions that you need a second computer.
Solution: Boot up Andrea’s computer and wait for the password prompt. Go to Rain Investigations, pick up the book from the bookshelf, talk to Eileen and ask her about her laptop.

KCU Hack (Part 2/4):

Hint 1: Did you check the different steps for the hack outlined in the computer book?
Hint 2: First, there needs to be a physical connection between the computers.
Hint 3: Try the FlyWire cable from the box on the floor.
Hint 4: The book mentions enabling DMA (Direct Memory Access) on the target computer.
Hint 5: Did you check the BIOS settings? Hit the return key as the computer is booting.
Hint 6: Don’t forget to install the utilities from the companion CD.
Solution: Pick up the FlyWire cable from the box on the floor, connect the cable to both computers, hit enter during the boot of Andrea’s PC to open the BIOS settings, change the DMA setting to “enabled”. Pick up the CD from the last page of the computer book and use it on the laptop.

KCU Hack (Part 3/4):

Hint 1: Your task is to identify and capture a specific identifier in the memory of the target computer, as outlined in the computer book.
Hint 2: The memory segment will only be visible on the screen for a brief moment, so make sure it is entered in the MemStack filter field when you boot up Andrea’s PC. “Stop on match” will simplify this process.
Hint 3: So, the segment begins with a 4-digit software identifier. There is a list of those in the book. It should say when booting her PC what software Andrea uses.
Hint 4: SecVault would correspond to 1A2B, so we have figured out the first part of the memory segment. The next part would be the version, also visible when booting.
Hint 5: The SecVault version is v.1.0.1.2.
Hint 5: So we have 1A2B1012. Lastly, we add the serial number of the memory stick.
Hint 6: The BIOS might be a good place to look for the serial number.
Hint 7: Got the full number, 1A2B1012421162? Let’s filter for that in MemStack, as Andrea’s computer is booting up.
Solution: Enter 1A2B1012421162 in the memory utility. Make sure the “Stop on match” checkbox is enabled. Start the capture and boot up Andrea’s computer. It should freeze the screen on a match. Hit “Save capture”, “Exit”, and drag and drop the memory dump to “Descrambler ELITE!”.

KCU Hack (Part 4/4):

Hint 1: So, apparently the tool can’t outright crack the password from the memory dump. We can probably do better than pure brute forcing, so maybe some clues from Andrea’s belongings can be a good starting point?
Hint 2: We know that the password is seven characters long. That should narrow things down a bit.
Hint 3: Let’s look for seven letter words and try them in the tool to see if they’re at least a decent match.
Hint 4: Andrea appears to be fond of music.
Hint 5: How’s “Perplex”?
Hint 6: The last written page of the computer book has an interesting little tidbit about “leetspeak”. A hacker like Andrea might be into that stuff.
Hint 7: We’ll have to brute force the exact password. Try experimenting by replacing lowercase letters with uppercase, letters with numbers etc and check the output of the tool.
Hint 8: Try P3rp13X
Solution: Enter P3rp13X into the tool, verify that it’s the correct password and then use it to log on to Andrea’s computer. Don’t forget to look through everything relevant on the computer afterwards!

The gun:

Hint 1: Did you look around the crash site?
Hint 2: Can’t get it up from the drain? Maybe you can create a makeshift tool?
Hint 3: Did you search the dorm room thoroughly?
Hint 4: You’ll need a spool of metal wire and a magnet.
Hint 5: Gun but no ammo? There should be more at Longhorn PI.
Solution: In the dorm room, pick up the metal wire from Andrea’s drawer in the dorm room and the magnet from the disassembled hard drive. Combine the two and then use the magnetic tool to collect the gun from the drain at the crash site. Then pick up some ammo from Longhorn PI (the box behind the desk).

Finding Cooper:

Hint 1: The chief should be back at the Ranger Station with more useful info about Cooper.
Hint 2: Asked about Cooper already? The map outside the chief’s office might come in handy.
Hint 3: Kathy refuses to go to Cooper’s unarmed? Be sure to collect the gun first (see previous section).
Solution: Ask the chief about Ranger Cooper, check the map outside his office, and then make sure you are armed before heading to the cabin.

Cooper’s Cabin:

Hint 1: You know the drill, lockpicks on door.
Hint 2: What’s that on the floor?
Hint 3: Try walking over it.
Hint 4: Kathy refuses to leave? Try examining the thing you picked up.
Solution: Walk up to the door, watch the cutscene. Use the lockpicks on the door. Walk over the floor hatch to the right of the table. Examine the form.

Evening 5 won’t trigger, what did I miss?

Hint 1: Did you read all three diary entries by Andrea on her computer?
Hint 2: Did you enter Cooper's cabin and examine both clues found under the floor?
Solution: Do both of the above.

Day 6

Tabby’s Garden:

Hint 1: Did you enter the inner section?
Hint 2: Did you see the book on the desk next to Tabitha?
Hint 3: Did you notice the medical bottle on the shelf near the door?
Solution: Enter the inner section, pick up the address book and the ipecac syrup bottle.

Engstrom's:

Hint 1: Did you pick up the ipecac syrup at Tabby’s Garden?
Hint 2: Oscar drinks quite regularly, doesn’t he?
Hint 3: Try the syrup on the water cooler.
Hint 4: Getting caught? Maybe somebody could distract Oscar.
Hint 5: Remember that handy cellphone?
Hint 6: Try calling Eileen at the office.
Solution: Call Eileen on the cellphone and ask her about Oscar. When they’re busy talking, use the Ipecac Syrup on the water cooler. Then lockpick the door and search the file cabinets.

Finished the above, what’s next?

Hint 1: Did you find Tabitha’s address book?
Hint 2: Did you pick up Sharon’s file at Engstrom?
Hint 3: Did you try looking things up in the address book?
Hint 4: Try Marla Stone.
Hint 5: Did you check the PO boxes in the library?
Hint 6: Perhaps you can correlate the mine map with something you picked up earlier?
Hint 7: Cooper’s map.
Hint 8: Did you also listen to Cooper's tape?
Solution: Look up Marla Stone in Tabitha’s address book, go to the library and open the PO box with the lockpicks, then combine the mine map with Cooper’s map. Also make sure you've listened to Cooper's tape from his file.

Evening 6

Entrance:

Hint: You better disable that camera.
Solution: Use the radio on the camera.

Showdown:

Hint 1: You should work together with Tom.
Hint 2: Yelling across the room won’t work, or Wiktor would overhear.
Hint 3: Try the radio.
Hint 4: Maybe there is something in the environment that Tom can use?
Hint 5: Try asking Tom about the Valve.
Hint 6: Tom getting shot? You’ll have to provide covering fire.
Solution: Use the radio on Tom to call him. Hang up, then wait a few seconds and use the revolver to shoot at Wiktor, giving Tom the time to turn the valve.

Door code:

Hint 1: Perhaps there is a way to determine what code the bad guys used to open the door?
Hint 2: That camera in the ceiling looks interesting…
Hint 3: Perhaps Eileen can help?
Hint 4: Try calling her on the radio and make some inquiries.
Hint 5: Not getting an exact code? You’ll have to brute force the final digit.
Solution: 5991

Hint 2: The statuettes should represent the sequence of the Soothsayer killings. What happened and in what order?
Solution: Syringe, mirror, eye, skull.

Glass floor room:

Hint 1: There is a safe platform near the grave.
Hint 2: Try to be quick and don’t stay too long in one place.
Hint 3: You’ll need to pick up each of the shards.
Hint 4: That grave looks important.
Hint 5: Try using the urn on the grave.
Hint 6: Stuck in the room? You should probably put the urn back.
Solution: Quickly pick up the shards on the floor, try to avoid Eric and use the safe area if you need to. Put the urn on the grave, and after the cinematic, put it back yet again.

Valve room:

Hint 1: You cannot turn the valves while Andrea is chasing you. She will always catch up.
Hint 2: Those steam vents might be useful.
Hint 3: Try to get Andrea to get hit by the Steam.
Hint 4: Andrea isn’t wounded by the steam, she’s just stunned.
Hint 5: When Andrea is stunned, turn each of the three valves.
Solution: Avoid Andrea until she is hit by the steam, which stuns her. Turn a valve. Repeat for all three valves.

Roof:

Hint: Time to defeat the true enemy.
Solution: If needed, put the white bullet in the gun, and then use it on Mr. Burgundy.

Ron doesn't seem to get the point of a spoiler free guide. Ron, the black bars are to slowly expose information. Some of us don't want the answer, we just want a hint, so if the author exposed all the information we would easily see the solutions and then it wouldn't be a SPOILER FREE guide now would it?

Creator of this walkthrough, I need to comment on your ''way'' of writing this guide, Let's ask ourselfs: ''what people will come here to seek help ?''
You probably answer this by saying : ''only those who need help''
Then I have made my point and with that out of the way... I ask you why do you
use the black bars to hide the text man.......It is so redundant, I know they look interesting but
do you really think people are THAT stupid when they come to the main page and then click on your guide that they do it by accident???
By the way I have given you an shy award, but pls re-consider your next guide and to leave those black bars out, it looks neater and people like me can see more of what they are looking for, because you are writing this for people like me right?! those people who will load you with award point when they feel generous and helped!

ended up needing this few times but wanted to say thanks. I was really looking for something like this when I was playing kathy rain 1. Only found walkthroughs that gave the full answer immediately. Not 100% if kathy 1 also had walkthrough like this but still thank you!

Thanks, I see now. I was definitely thinking of x as a variable or placeholder, rather than as a multiplier. It also occurred to me that the 10113333 message is a clue related to this, but your hint guide doesn't mention it.

For your hint guide as-is, you could add additional hints like "Maybe this is related to the previous message that doesn't match the format of a police code". A followup hint could be "That message ends with the number three four times. The repeated number seems unusual." And then just explaining that with "One way to indicate something is repeated four times is x4." Then the final one just says "The park is labeled as 1x4, so the number 1 repeated four times is 1111"

As for changing the puzzle, I have an idea of how to improve it in a way that doesn't require voiceline changes, but I think it needs an image to demonstrate this. I'll send it to you in via the Clifftop Games Discord.

Thunderforge 'x' in this case represents quantity, in the way that "4x pens" can mean four pens. So "four of "1", i.e. 1111. Flipping the descriptor to 4x1 might help it make more intuitive sense!

Thunderforge 31 May @ 4:38pm

I'm not understanding "Pager (Part 3/4)" hints 7 & 8.

How does expressing 1x4 in numbers result in 1111? The numeral for x on the morse page is 24, not 11, so I thought it would be 1244. I also made the guess that the x was a time (so 1x4 for 2pm (14:00) at the park becomes 1144), but that's not the case. If I do put 1111, Kathy just says that this is correct but doesn't explain why. I'm especially confused as to how the last number is a 1 and not a 4.

Thank you so much bro,as a Non-native English speakers, I really need it.

Also not using it unless absolutely necessary but wanna say thanks for doing an official hint guide with the release! Pretty rare for a dev to do that I think so it's cool to see :)

Krusbert [author] 20 May @ 9:47am

It will not! We're gonna leave achievements to our community to figure out :)
