Game Introduction – Entwined: Strings of Deception

General Tips

Upon starting a new game, you can choose between one of two difficulties: Normal Mode or Hard Mode. Normal Mode features Hints recharging faster, sparkles indicating active areas, and achievement items being easier to spot. Hard Mode features slower charging Hints, no sparkles to indicate active areas, and achievement items are harder to spot.
At any point in the game, you can click on the Case File on the lower left. This will keep track of your hints, progress, suspects, and clues you uncover.
At the bottom of the screen are two important buttons: Inventory and Objectives. Toggle over Inventory to access items you’ve found. Toggle over Objectives to view the current tasks at hand.
In the lower right corner of the screen is a “?” button– this is the Hint. Click on it outside of a hidden object area to view your current objective. Click on the button inside a hidden object area to receive a hint as to where an item is located. Click on the button during a puzzle to opt to skip it.
Also in the lower right corner of the screen is a Map. Use this as reference on where rooms are located and where you should go.
A series of Achievement Items are scattered throughout the game. There are Fingerprints and Jewelry to be found. Jewelry will be circled in yellow and Fingerprints will be circled in blue in the guide below. When you find a Fingerprint, you must use the Fingerprint Detection Powder in your inventory on it before you can collect it. Note sometimes a powdered Fingerprint will move and/or differ slightly in location from before it was powdered.
