Homicipher: Scene and Chapter Guide

Just to make sure everyone is on the same page, since I have been faced with some confusion when I suggested making this guide, when I talk about “scenes”, I am referring to the checkpoints you can load from when you go into the menu and click on “Chapter”. There are 195 images that lead you to specific moments in the story, these are what I am calling “scenes”.

To make the guide easier to follow, I’ve organized each tab into an alphanumeric grid. Rows correspond to numbers, and columns to letters. Combine them (e.g., the first scene is 1A), and you have the scene name. This approach avoids relying on image descriptions.

For dialogue choices in another language, I’ll simply direct you to pick the top, middle, or bottom option to avoid confusion and spoilers. If there’s only one action (like walking down a hall), I won’t list it as a step. Only choices with multiple outcomes are noted.

Unless stated otherwise, references to scenes are always within the same chapter. For example, “start from scene 4A” in instructions for scene 5D assumes both are in the same chapter.

When I say “all options funnel into this scene,” it means the story progresses the same way regardless of your choice, with optional dialogue variations.

QTE (Quick Time Events) are timed actions where you must click or choose quickly. “Win QTE” means completing the action within the time limit; “Fail QTE” means letting the time run out.

Finally, some options (like early QTEs) won’t appear until you’ve progressed far enough in the story. If a choice isn’t available, you’ll need to return later once it unlocks.
