DOS version PC-9801 version

Room ID#(s):	32
Bugs & Glitches:	Yes
Odd Coding:	Yes

Notes

• Player can search the chair and sofa and find $3, adding it to your money clip. This can be done at any point in the game, prior to departing for Steelton.

• On Day 2, the game allows the player to search Marie's house on their own without having Keith around (Player can drive their own vehicle to Marie's). The allows for a noticeable change in dialogue between the captain and Sonny when he reports to homicide.

• With the early versions, it was possible to dust the ashtray without needing a field kit, but using the tape requires a field kit.

• In the JP version, the two pictures on wall have been replaced with an ocean wave and a mountain (likely Mt. Fuji). Credit to Lesbiandrea for spotting this!

Infinite Points Category: Infinite Points Credit: Kuro-chan 1.001.000 1.006.011 J1.000.062 1.024 1.002.011 Yes Yes No No No The ashtray can be dusted and prints collected. These prints use the same inventory ID as the prints collected from the jailer's car. There is nothing in the game that tracks which prints have been collected. Since evidence counts for one point each when booked, this becomes a spot for infinite points. This can be collected at any point during regular game play, even on Day 1, before the kidnapping happens. This was the first Infinite Points found.

Moonwalking Category: Moonwalking Credit: Gage Holston 1.001.000 1.006.011 J1.000.062 1.024 1.002.011 Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes If the player tries to exit the house immediately after entering it, a glitch happens where the player's regular movements are disabled due to an issue with Keith not completing his script to walk down the hall and into the bedroom. The player still has access to the parser and function keys. To break out of this, Sonny can draw his gun. This creates a moonwalking effect where the player will resume movement but will always be facing upwards. The player can withdraw Sonny's gun and the moonwalking effect will continue. Alternatively, this bug can become active by trying to draw the gun and walk around as Keith returns to the front door (because the player is trying to leave the house).

i	What Ashtray? Credit: Kuro-chan 1.001.000 1.006.011 J1.000.062 1.024 1.002.011 Yes Yes No No No Attempting to 'dust ashtray' while too far away results in no message or commentary regarding the distance. Normally, the player would get a 'You're not close enough' message.
