What follows is a guide to some of the puzzles in the game. Please do attempt them all yourself first, and if you are really stuck then come and have a look here. [This will continue to be updated as more people play the game and point out tricky things].
The Jars
This is the trickiest one in the game. The Jars scattered across the station are shown to contain a black goo, the same goo can be seen next to the student's table, highlighting an eye pointing towards the wall. The goo is also spilt on the artists paper.
Key point: Goo can reveal hidden things and can stain paper. If this has given you an idea, go try it out!
To solve the trail puzzle, try and interact with the wall next to the spilt black liquid, where the eye is. Make sure to interact while holding a full jar. Maybe if you look in the right place, the jar will spill to reveal the next step :D [The trail puzzle concludes with the revelation of a large mural on the back blank wall where the tracks end (below). If you'd like to skip to the end of this horrible puzzle, then pick up a jar and spam left click around the wall where the track ends. It'll reveal a massive eye and a code.]
To solve the Card puzzle, you either have to be very lucky or very clever. The aim of the puzzle is to find the queen of hearts, the lost love of the artist. Maybe you'll have noticed how the jars of black goo seemed to have stained the artists paper. To solve this you need to grab a jar and interact with the queen of heart lying in front of you, then click on the stack of cards. All you have to do now is pick the card you marked!
The Portraits
In total there are 10 things to find throughout the station that lend significant information to the player in order for them to complete the game. In hindsight it would have been a good idea to maybe force the collection of all the items. The ticket master tells you when you've collected all there is to find, and the clock chimes when something important is found. The player is only "supposed" to return to the board at 11:50.
A portrait can be found from a puzzle or just lying around the station. The portraits depict one of the characters and contain a note written from their perspective, describing the final position of another piece. Its important to think deductively and observe the environment. Pay special attention to chairs, props, strategically placed bins that helpfully catch a spent bullet casing, therefore meaning the shot must have been fired to the left of the bin, and anything else you might find! Nothing has been put anywhere arbitrarily.
