Quick Links

The first chapter of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Process of Elimination is quite chaotic - the twists and turns start coming and they don't stop coming, and the first brutal murder of the game is thrust in your face. Not only that, but you have 14 individual characters to meet and get to know. It's a lot, huh?

While most of your time playing Process of Elimination is spent reading, there are times where the game will prompt you to make decisions, and you'll need to apply some strategy to the Investigation portions. Here's our complete guide to the first chapter.

Pre-Investigation

Process of Elimination - First victims of the Quartering Duke

During the prologue, you'll be asked to choose which of the two costumed people on the stream you despise more. This choice doesn't really matter - pick whichever one you like.

The next choices that you make throughout the prologue don't matter either.

Once Chapter 1 begins properly, however, your choices will start mattering. First, you'll be prompted to choose between Ignoring the building in front of you and heading to the manor, or entering the building.

Enter the building just to see what happens. After this scene, you'll be placed back at the choice; choose to ignore the building. These are the only choices you'll make until the first investigation of the game happens.

Process of Elimination - Overly clean cuts evidence

During this period of the game, you'll acquire the following pieces of evidence: Overly Clean Cut, Bloodstained Ceiling.
