In the Homicide Office, Sonny's position is always reset to a fixed value (x:255, y:147) after closing the cabinet.

In the Narcotics office, the player will walk upwards, when possible, after closing the cabinet.

Yes Yes No No No

Using the arrow keys or mouse, Sonny can move a unit at a time across the previous screen while looking at the toilet tank. Upon 'exit', the player will appear at a different point on the map based on what they hit/clicked.

This applies 'only' to the Narcotics office.

This can also soft lock the player if they position themselves in a path blocker after closing the cabinet.

If the player positions themselves at around the spot where they normally exit the office, the game will take Sonny directly to the Hallway

It's okay. The mugshot cuts off at the shoulders.

The transparency colour for the mugshot also happens to be the colour that is used for Wilma Snider's outfit.

The worst this will give you is a paper cut. RELAX!

Yes ? Yes ? Yes

Pressing F8 will cause a view change with ego (Sonny will pull/holster his gun) and lock the game. Menu is still accessible.

F10 (while the gun it out, which you can do in the previous screen) will cause the same effect.

This applies (only) to the Narcotics room.

It's a more complicated close.

Be More Specific!

Yes Yes No Yes Yes

The Narcotics cabinet specifically requires the player to 'close cabinet'. In Homicide, 'close' is sufficient.

OK. I have mucho paperwork to finish.
