Every question, feedback, comment etc. can be mailed. Put "Still Life Guide"
in the subject, so I can pick out the mails easily. Thanks! Also add where you
found the guide, is possible. Don't bother mailing me about the puzzles. I've
checked all of them, and the way I wrote them down, is the way they should be
solved.

Introduction [SL.02.01]
==============================================================================
Victoria McPherson is a brilliant young FBI agent who's investigating a serial
murder case. The body count is now at five and she has no real leads, nothing
but a mountain of circumstantial evidence and a boss who's breathing down her
neck.
In order to take a break from it all, she decides to visit her father in the
suburbs. Since it's close to the Christmas holidays, she and her father talk
about their family, including Victoria's grandfather, who used to be a private
investigator. This discussion leads Victoria to read one of her grandfather's
old case files, a file which reveals an uncomfortably high number of
similarities between a seventy-five year old case in Europe and the current
string of killings in Chicago...

Walkthrough [SL.03.01]
==============================================================================
Not much to say. Double click somewhere to let your character run (not like
it'll help much), and to skip the speech, press the space key.
Also, I'm not really going in-depth on the story on this guide. Play the game
to learn about the story.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 1 [SL.03.02]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5th Murder Scene
----------------
You start off outside some building. You play Victoria, a female FBI agent.
How fun. Walk to the building.
A black cop will hold you off. He is Officer Tate. After some chit chat, he'll
allow you inside the building. Head up, and head to the right. Talk to Miller.
He threw up, but will give you a camera. So you can take pictures. Fun fun
fun. Sounds like Beyond Good & Evil already.
Enter the door, and go down the hall. Find Claire and talk to her. You need to
collect evidence for her. Use the briefcase to get some stuff. Go to the room
on your left. Examine the nails on the wall (left of the door). Take a picture
and grab the hairwith the tweezers (combine the camera with the film first).
Leave the room though the door, and go back to the hall. Enter the door on the
right. Walk to the lamp, and use the filter on it. Use the spray on the wall
and you'll see the text "disturbed". Take a picture of the text.
There is some blood on the floor too. Take a picture of it, and take a sample
of it. Leave the room. You're in the hall again. Use the filter on the lamp
here, and... right... use the spray on the wall. This time you'll see
"sanctuary". Take a picture. More blood here, so take a sample.
Go back to Claire. You need to take pictures of the body after a short talk.
Remove the piece of cloth and shoot away. Have fun. This is probably the worst
part of the game. I didn't find it disturbing, but perhaps you do.
Anyway, go back to Miller. When you try to walk down the stairs, it'll
collapse. Go back to the room with "sanctuary" on the wall, and look at the
pile on the right. Grab the lead pipe. Go back to Miller, and take the way to
the left. Use the lead pipe on the door to go outside.
Try to use the ladder. That'll fail. Jump on the container. After some
chit chat, go to the...
Police Station
--------------
Find the elevator, and go to "8". Find Miller. He needs you to drop the
camera in the chute, and get Claire's report (he's too scared himself). Go to
your own desk (it's the one Miller isn't using). Listen to your message on
your phone, then take the present and the security card. Walk outside the
room, and drop the camera in the chute. Then take the elevator "B2".
Check the card in your inventory. On the back you'll see the word "Vodka".
Look at the panel, and use the card on it. Then type the word "Vodka" by using
the buttons on the panel. It's "86352" if you can't figure it out.
Find Claire and talk to her. Get the report. When you leave the room,
Victoria's dad will give a call. Give the report to Miller, then leave the
area and go to...
Pat's House
-----------
Victoria's father is happy to see her. Hug hug, kiss kiss. You'll get a
present. Remember the figures on it. Diamond, diamond, heart, diamond,
diamond. Walk back to the stairs and grab the umbrella.
Walk up the stairs, and enter the room on the right. Enter the closet on the
right and use the umbrella.
Turn on the light, and walk to the chest. This is the first real puzzle. The
combination has to be diamond, diamond, heart, diamond, diamond. How? Let's
say the first area is 1, the second is 2 etc. Press area 2 - 3 times, area 3 -
1 time, area 4 - 3 times, area 5 - 3 times. This'll save some time. Press the
red button. In case you mess up, press the red button to reset.
You'll go to chapter 2 if you did it correctly.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 2 [SL.03.03]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ah, good old times. Back in 1920. When you talk to Skalnic, you'll find out
some things. He doesn't like you, he doesn't like whores, he doesn't really
care what you think. Leave the screen to the right.
Talk to Kazimir Stasek. He got a black eye. Listen to him, then continue to
the right. Talk to Ida, the love of Gus, then talk to Milena. Frantiska is the
whore who got killed, Anezka is missing, and perhaps Apolina knows more.
Walk up the stairs, and talk to Ida. She needs to see a doctor. Leave the
screen, and go to...
Lingerie
--------
You'll end up here, no matter what you do. The guy Otokar Kubina wants to get
rid of you. He hires Peter for this. He complains about how the brother is
Peter - Roman - is lost. Leave the screen and go to...
Old Chapel
----------
Enter the Chapel, and talk to the man (pray for the dead bodies as well).
Talk to Mr. Corona. You can have a report, but you just need to find it. Walk
to the shelves, and grab the piece of paper. The code 74821536 is written on
it. Walk to the alter, and you'll need to place with pieces to open the safe.
Open the safe after that by clicking on the steel bar.

This is some fine art I just made, I know. Anyway, you get the clue, and
that's what counts. Grab the picture and the report. When you go outside,
Peter will beat you up. Not much, but a bit. Go to...
Park
----
Walk to the fountain in the middle of the park. Use the picture you have.
Click on the spot on the picture near the foot of the fountain, on the right.
It looks a bit different, so you shouldn't have any problems with it. There
is a text written there. 'The whore wasn't worthy of my devotion, so I
proposed to the angel.'
Look at the angel that's on top of the fountain, and try to grab the ring. A
raven will fly off with it though.
Burned Neighbourhood
--------------------
Enter the building and talk to the weird man. He'll tell you about Vladanna,
and give the ring back. Leave the building. Ida will tell you that there might
be a person hiding on the scrap yard who survived an attack. Go to...
Scrap Yard
----------
When you walk to the scrap yard, you'll notice Peter. Head to the...
Lingerie
--------
Knock on the door and talk to Kubina. He'll get rid of Peter, if you free
Roman. Sure thing. Go to...
Police Station
--------------
Go inside, and talk to Stasek. He'll let Roman go, if you can get his badge
back from a whore. *Sigh* Go to the...
Park
----
Talk to Apolina, and she'll give it back. Back to...
