The 'find' function is crucial. When your dog, Brown, is with you, you can assign items, accessories, or key items to the 'find' box in the inventory screen. Calling Brown will lead you to the location of the item. This function is also used to find unlockable videos and music. Finding files or key items often progresses the story. You can also find more healing/recovering items by using the find function on existing ones.
