Amazing Investigations 1: General Tips

Dana Strange’s sister was kidnapped and killed by a serial killer. For the sake of his capture, the girl became a police detective, conducted an investigation and was able to catch the criminal. After 15 years, Dana becomes a private detective and takes on a case whose circumstances are very similar to the case of her sister’s kidnapping. Is it possible that in the past she made a mistake with the conclusions and behind bars was not a real killer?

In the course of a new investigation, Dana will have to answer her questions, deal with the ghosts of her past and find a new victim of the kidnapper. To help the main character of the story, go through the locations of the game, collect evidence and other useful equipment, solve puzzles and play mini-games. In case of difficulty, use the hint and check your location on the Map of the area.

This walkthrough will not mention the need to zoom in each time. Screenshots will show an already enlarged image. Hidden object scenes will use the acronym "SEARCH" throughout the playthrough. Items marked with a different color are hidden or require additional actions to find them.

This walkthrough will show a step-by-step solution to mini-games that have a single solution. For other mini-games, carefully read the instructions in the game. Sometimes in this game, before interacting with a scene, you will need to click on a new scene to trigger a dialogue, cutscene, or quest. Use the Map to quickly move to the desired location.
