Part 2: Chapter 1-2

This is probably a good enough time to show off another minor thing. In a tab of the menu screen, Vickie keeps a running diary of events up to the current point. This allows me to be lazy and not recap the story.











Competent, bwahaha….scuse me.







We also have a running list of coroner’s reports for the previous victims of our killer. Victim 1…





Victim 2…




while taking a late night swim.

Victim 3…





Victim 4…





And then we have our latest victim. It seems the Ripper enjoys drowning women in everything from bathroom stalls to sewers. Except for our latest one, where he also beat the crap out of her, stabbed her, painted gibberish on the walls in her blood, *and* drowned her. I guess he didn't enjoy Jack's sass.

Anywho, with the discovery of the grisly murder, Vickie shows a rare sense of empathy and…

“Oh, my God, look at the tattoo work on her skin! This girl liked pain.”

Never mind.



“Which would be a first according to the killer’s MO and profile. I’ll run the victim’s name through the database, to see if we hit something. What’s her name?”



“Do you still need me here?”



“Oh…thanks for letting me off the hook, but seriously if you need me, I’ll stay.”

Vic McPherson: Passive Aggressive Agent.



“I wouldn’t miss it for the world. See you soon.”

We’re free to leave now, but let’s go take another look at the victim.









So yeah, she’s a mess. Talking to Claire again yields…

“Did you really threaten to tie Miller to my 4x4 and…”



“Hey, I don’t doubt it.”

Alright, *now* let’s get on out of here. Back to the room where we left Pukey, and…

…oh god, we are the worst FBI agents ever. It’s a good thing we took such pains to not mess with the crime scene too.



So we’re stuck outside of the murder room with Miller. This won’t do.

“I’m going to have to look for another way out of here.”


...if that was a euphemism, Miller, we’re going to see if that tub back there has room for two.

Wandering back over to Claire yields…



“The stairs fell apart. If you’re planning on leaving, don’t take the stairs. I’m trying to find another way out.”



“I don’t know…you guys’ll figure it out.”



Anyway, the answer lies in the hallway opposite of Miller. There’s a door here, but…



Shut up Vickie.



There’s a door here, but as you can see, Vickie can’t shit talk the boards covering it to death.



So it’s a slight pixel hunt to find a pipe on the floor back in the Sanctuary room.







And after Vickie falls on her ass doing that…



Freedom! Well, except we’re up on a fire escape. No matter, we’ll just push down the ladder over there, and…





Vickie somehow manages to break the ladder. Sigh. Fortunately, clicking over the edge of the escape leads to a very pointless 10 second cutscene. I’m only recording it for the following scene with more awesome voicework from Deputy Dawg. Hee hee hee hoo hoo haw hee hee!

Seriously, that guy is pretty much the saving grace of this game. Anyway, we’re finally free to get on out of here via our truck to the right.



In here is a handy minimap letting us scoot around Chicago. Unfortunately, the only locations open right now are the crime scene we’re sitting at, and the FBI’s home office. Off to work we go. Hee hee hoo haw hee hee hee!
