In the future, when more quests get added ( and puzzles hopefully reworked), there should be some way to keep track of the clues and quests you discovered, like the unused "Clue Book" mechanic. This may also be a way to add he watch back, along with a notification that a clue has been discovered. I may update this post later, if I come up with some new ideas.

I made a similar thing, they should have one side be main missions and the other side quest, to keep track and know what you need to do if confused, like maybe you don’t know what’s next and it will show you.

perfect

UPDATE:

I came up with an idea of what possible UI notifications could look like. I might make some for Side Quests too.

edgy wagon Mar 30, 2023, 5:27 PM

#

IMO there shouldn’t be clues, it should just let you know what your objective is, like Day 1-Crime Scene, discover the secrets in the basement.

thick oyster Mar 30, 2023, 5:28 PM

#

Well, it's obvious that you should sneak into the house and not just barge in

edgy wagon Mar 30, 2023, 5:28 PM

#

Since it kind of gets rid of the idea of solving the puzzle

thick oyster Mar 30, 2023, 5:28 PM

#

But yeah, you're right.

edgy wagon Mar 30, 2023, 5:29 PM

#

Instead maybe if your lost, you could use a hint system, but only get 2 hints per Day/Night.

thick oyster Mar 30, 2023, 5:30 PM

#

Ehh, maybe if the puzzles get a rework, since they're all mostly the same

edgy wagon Mar 30, 2023, 5:30 PM

#

thick oyster Ehh, maybe if the puzzles get a rework, since they're all mostly the same

Yeah

#

Some vague hints would be good, like maybe the NOT puzzle in the Peterson house could be something like "You could've sworn you've seen that picture before".

steel halo Mar 30, 2023, 6:31 PM

#

maybe you could write down locations that are important with a marker or something

#

so you know you need to return there later if you cant get it

gaunt prawn Mar 30, 2023, 6:50 PM

#

steel halo maybe you could write down locations that are important with a marker or somethi...

And make the board go into detail about the locations like in the beta

thick oyster Mar 30, 2023, 6:54 PM

#

UPDATE #2

I did some more stuff.

steel halo Mar 30, 2023, 7:50 PM

#

perfect

#

this is what i mean by write down locations that are important with a marker like exactly its wonderful

edgy wagon Mar 30, 2023, 9:40 PM

#

thick oyster **UPDATE #2** I did some more stuff.

Perfect

steel halo Apr 2, 2023, 3:04 AM

#

could you make it so that we get the notification on our watch

#

like the beta

#

and when you get the notification we look at our watch like in the beta

thick oyster Apr 2, 2023, 7:53 AM

#

I didn't mod this in I just edited a screenshot I took

wide dock Apr 2, 2023, 11:17 AM

#

thick oyster **UPDATE #2** I did some more stuff.

This is amazing.

jolly matrix Apr 2, 2023, 1:08 PM

#

this sorta reminds me off the board thing they had in the beta

#

#

it would update once you found clues and stuff

#

its in the final game but its bassically completely diffrent and its kind of worse

#

since it just shows what levels you completed

#

rather than what clues you found

jolly matrix Apr 2, 2023, 1:12 PM

#

jolly matrix

when you walked up to a clue you would get a notification

#

for example if you walked up to Nicky`s house he wouldnt be shown as missing anymore

thick oyster Apr 2, 2023, 2:27 PM

#

Yeah, they scrapped that because they were working on a clue book, but then they also scrapped that and now we just have this heavily downgraded pinboard

keen herald Apr 2, 2023, 2:27 PM

#

How do we know about the clue book?

jolly matrix Apr 2, 2023, 2:27 PM

#

thick oyster Yeah, they scrapped that because they were working on a clue book, but then they...

I think we should fix the pinboard then

#

since its in the game

#

I think it would be better to expand on it

thick oyster Apr 2, 2023, 2:28 PM

#

keen herald How do we know about the clue book?

There was something in the files for it at some point, probably the demo

keen herald Apr 2, 2023, 2:28 PM

#

Why did they ever make the pinboard just to delete it anyway?

jolly matrix Apr 2, 2023, 2:28 PM

#

keen herald Why did they ever make the pinboard just to delete it anyway?

they replaced it with the clue book

#

but then they cut that

keen herald Apr 2, 2023, 2:29 PM

#

Pinboard is better than cluebook though

jolly matrix Apr 2, 2023, 2:29 PM

#

now they added the pinboard but in a heavilly downgraded state

#

Im in favor of them fixing the pinboard

keen herald Apr 2, 2023, 2:29 PM

#

Same

thick oyster Apr 2, 2023, 2:29 PM

#

keen herald Pinboard is better than cluebook though

You would have the clue book on you at all times. The pinboard was stationary

keen herald Apr 2, 2023, 2:29 PM

#

Still

jolly matrix Apr 2, 2023, 2:30 PM

#

thick oyster You would have the clue book on you at all times. The pinboard was stationary

it would give a reason to go back home

keen herald Apr 2, 2023, 2:30 PM

#

I preferred the pinboard

jolly matrix Apr 2, 2023, 2:30 PM

#

plus clue book is gone pinboard is ingame

keen herald Apr 2, 2023, 2:30 PM

#

It just feels cooler, it's got more of that detective/journalist aesthetic

jolly matrix Apr 2, 2023, 2:30 PM

#

pinboard seems like the more likely option to have this idea

keen herald Apr 2, 2023, 2:30 PM

#

I would loved a feature where you take your own pictures and draw them up

#

To connect your own story

jolly matrix Apr 2, 2023, 2:30 PM

#

keen herald It just feels cooler, it's got more of that detective/journalist aesthetic

I loved how it felt I was investigating the town sadly there wasnt all that much on that

#

but I love the idea

keen herald Apr 2, 2023, 2:31 PM

#

Beta was too easy to really make it useful, but it was cool

#

Idk, the beta just felt like it had more of a free roaming/sandbox vibe to it

#

You could do things whatever way you wanted

jolly matrix Apr 2, 2023, 2:31 PM

#

also I liked how it went from finding 3 missing kids in the beta to 1

keen herald Apr 2, 2023, 2:32 PM

#

Of course it wasn't really that way, since it's quite short, easy and lower quality than fg

jolly matrix Apr 2, 2023, 2:32 PM

#

also I liked the detail of you discovering that Nicky was "found" by walking up to his house

thick oyster Apr 2, 2023, 2:32 PM

#

Mya just poofed out of existence

keen herald Apr 2, 2023, 2:32 PM

#

At least she had a grave

thick oyster Apr 2, 2023, 2:32 PM

#

Now she doesn't!

jolly matrix Apr 2, 2023, 2:32 PM

#

keen herald At least she had a grave

they should add it back

#

even if it isnt the main part of the cutscene we need the grave

#

so new players would understand what happend

#

anyway this is off topic back to the pinboard/clue book idea

thick oyster Apr 2, 2023, 2:33 PM

#

You know.. there might be a way that the clue book/quest log and pinboard can both co-exist

keen herald Apr 2, 2023, 2:33 PM

#

It's like mya isnt even a thing anymore

jolly matrix Apr 2, 2023, 2:33 PM

#

thick oyster You know.. there might be a way that the clue book/quest log and pinboard can bo...

idk clue book seems redundant rn since the pinboard is already ingame (in a heavilly downgraded state but still)

The photo in the museum is just Peterson and aaron
