| Let there be light! |
Last time, I ended my playing session as I was about to enter the basement of the haunted house my partner was interested in. When I got there, though, the place was so dark I couldn't see a thing. I had to leave again and figure out how to shine a light on this puzzle. Turned out I had to solve a
different puzzle at another location first I didn't even realize
was a puzzle! I was actually unaware I could do something there...

| How revelatory... |
After the events in the basement, I finally succeeded in getting in touch with a friend of my partner, who could help me in this investigation. She told me about his workshop I knew nothing about, where we found plans to build a machine. It just needed three more pieces.

It took some travelling back and forth, but thankfully once I was done in a particular location, it disappeared off the travel map. I was able to free a man from the local Irish mafia so he could give me one of the pieces. And I was able to collect the second item by reuniting a man and woman, though that didn't exactly end as I had expected...

With one more item to go, I hope I can now return to a place I already visited but where the man I needed was temporarily unavailable. The game's difficulty level has risen slightly, but it's all still very doable without needing much effort. Everything makes sense, and the story keeps being engaging. I'm especially amazed by all the little details; the extra sound effects when you're out on the streets, all little animations like fog passing by windows when you're inside. All locations are also splendidly decorated. It's actually a bit of a shame I'm moving on at such a fast pace, and I do try to enjoy the setting as well.
