Great walkthrough! :)

A great guide. When I played this game, back in 2009, there was no guide.
I sure could have used this guide at the time.

Could not help but notice a lot of instances of "lets" which should have been spelled as "let's". Something which should have been corrected during proofreading.

MCoreBE said:Yes, it's easy for mistakes to slip away.
Especially in this walkthrough because there are so many quotes. Quotes from the game that is.

Basically this means when even when you find a typo it might still be correct. Because it is a quote from the game.
This is also why I only mentioned "lets" and "let's" which occurs often outside quoted lines.

Case 1
Case 2
Case 3
Case 4
Case 5

All "lets" fixed. Let me know if there is anything else

I had hoped YOU would check the guide. However since you asked I will give some more examples.

Interpunction, an "." is missing at the end.

objects lay, people lie.

Both "tv" and "TV" are used in the guide. My spelling checker indicates "TV" to be correct.
(According to someone I know this means we have to re-spell the original television to TeleVision. I am considering to make a custom checklist for that person, based on abbreviation-derived wording.)

What's up with the blue font on grey background when using the dark theme? Makes this walkthrough really hard to read.

I just wanted to point out something. In Case 2, right before you unlock the achievement RUB IT IN, at the Main Lab, you say:

"Compare the hair from the syringe to the sample of Tina Allen's hair. Next compare the hair on the mic cord to the sample from Tina Allen's transplanted hair." By this time, you have already compared the hair from the syringe with the hair from the cord. So actually, you only need to compare one of those to the sample of Tina Allen's hair. If you do both, it will be redundant, thus lowering your Skill percentage.

The font color formatting issue is still a very distracting problem.

Yeah the font formatting needs fixed i actually can't read a lick of it.
Dark theme.

In case 3, you have the requirements and location in the time line wrong for Just for Good Measure. You don't need the divorce papers reviewed, you need to compare the ring to the photo of Steve that you get from Ernie. The text should be revised and the achievement marker should move to after:

--- Main Lab ---

Once again to the microscope. Compare the ring with the photo from Roomers. With 10x magnification, move the slider to the middle and slide the photo up so you can see the ring. Back to Brass for the last time.
Achievement pops here.

I agree about the text color, had to switch back from the dark theme to read it.

Only other item that would have been nice was on case 1 where you are working on 100% on the stats, list the stats after the main lab sections. It gives you a little piece of mind if you can compare and know you are still on track.

I second Original Dr T, above

Great walkthrough overall, thanks!

Followed the guide to Case 1 exactly and 3 achievements did not pop.

Problems with 'Lab Rat', 'Master Technician' and 'Keeping up with the Hodges'. Why didn't I receive any skill score achievements as listed in the guide???

In Case 3, the secret "Just for Good Measure" achievement only popped after the next section (Interrogate Ernie) and comparing the ring with the Roomers photo.

Just slide the achievement banner down one segment and it will be fine.

Thanks again for all of your hard work on this.

EDIT: Sorry, I didn't realise someone has pointed this out already :)
