Tips

• The Submachine Gun (if owned via DLC) is powerful but consumes ammunition rapidly; save its clip for critical moments.
• Consider investing the free Skill Point (if applicable) into 'Absolute Clarity' for a 5% XP bonus.
• Optional conversations with NPCs like Johannes van der Berg and Robert Throgmorton provide world-building but are not essential for game progression. Choose dialogue options carefully to access all information before ending conversations.
• The lifeboat location is only given verbally by Robert Throgmorton and is not marked on the map.

Completing all key evidence collection for the 'Rest In Peace' case grants bonus XP. Completing the optional Titania Lifeboat investigation also provides bonus XP and unlocks further dialogue with Robert Throgmorton. Additional XP is awarded for finding all evidence in a location. The specific amount of bonus XP is adjusted by skills like 'Absolute Clarity'.
