Early-Game Strategy Tips

Get Your Hands on Filming Equipment!

Your first goal should be acquiring two cheap smartphones.You might think, Why bother? The quality is awful, and the recording time is short!—but in the early game, buying a second cheap smartphone doubles your recording time.

More recording time = easier badge acquisition = higher evaluation scores!

Make sure to set up both cameras in the filming briefing!

Mini-Game (Part-Time Job) Completion Guide

Clearing a mini-game for the first time rewards you with prizes based on difficulty level.The Inferno difficulty reward is especially valuable, so obtaining it early is highly beneficial!

That said… Inferno difficulty is, well, infernally hard.For those of you thinking, "This is impossible! I don't even understand the rules!"—don’t worry!Here are some tips I’ve learned through countless retries!

Catching the Phantom Thief in the Pool Mini-Game

This mini-game is playable in the Pool map and is also available in the demo version.Inferno difficulty is brutal—I get it.

Here are three key strategies:① Don’t get greedy with hidden camera photos② Prioritize capturing the thief③ Memorize the map

① Don’t get greedy with hidden camera photos

Some photos are traps designed to make you crash into obstacles.Focus on avoiding obstacles first, and only grab the ones that are safe!

② Prioritize capturing the thief

In Inferno difficulty, it’s more important to catch the thief than to take photos.Avoid obstacles at all costs and keep your speed up to close the distance!

③ Memorize the map

The thief runs in loops, so learning the obstacle layout is key.Certain tricky corners will trip you up unless you anticipate them, so pay close attention!

I hope to share more mini-game strategies in the future!
