- WITNESS Part One
-
- This walkthru will help you to finish "Witness." Until I came
- across "Suspect" this game was my favourite mystery, because of
- the excellent plot of the game. Okay, you start South of the
- house, where you just picked up a matchbook. <By the way, none
- of the stuff that came with the game is really necessary to
- solving the case>. Go North twice to the front door and ring the
- bell. Phong will let you in. Then just try to go East, and
- Phong will lead you to the Living Room, where Monica and Mr.
- Linder are. Now, wait <get used to doing that, because there's a
- lot of waiting in this one>, and Linder will eventually take you
- to his office. Sit down in the wooden chair, and Linder will
- hand you a note. Read it, as it will help waste some time. Now,
- just do anything <but stay seated!> to make time pass. Show the
- matchbook to Linder for an interesting reaction, if you like. In
- any case, you just have to keep waiting. Eventually, Monica will
- come in briefly to announce she's going to the movies. This is
- not what you're waiting for, however! So, keep on waiting, and
- finally, the murder will occur. Linder will be shot while you sit
- there, and you can't stop it from happening. Read the
- description carefully at the moment the shot is fired. There's
- something odd about it. In fact, the whole thing is a setup. The
- first thing to do is stand up, then push the button. Instead of
- ringing to summon the butler, it causes a strange click to be
- heard from the clock. At this point, Phong will enter the room.
- Tell him you want the keys, and he'll hand them over to you.
- Now, examine the clock. Keyhole seems a little strange, doesn't
- it? The doorbell rings while you're doing this, so as Phong goes
- to answer the door, examine the keyhole.

- WITNESS Part Two
-
- I'll bet you're getting some ideas already! However, you'll
- need to have the powder analyzed, and Duffy hasn't arrived yet,
- so wait around until he does. Then get the powder analzyed <you
- can ignore Stiles, he's only a red herring>. While that's being
- done, examine the window <you can't open the clock yet, it's the
- one key you don't have>. The green wire seems suspicious, so get
- it for future reference. Now, go West into the Hallway, then
- North twice, and open the Butler's door. Go West into the room,
- and read the mystery book <by the way, you can drop the telegram
- and note, they aren't important>. A gun receipt is used as a
- bookmark. The purchaser's name is obviously phoney, but hang on
- to the receipt anyway. Okay, from the Butler's Room, go East
- twice to Monica's room, then unlock and open the back door. Go
- East into the Backyard, then South twice to the office path.
- Aha, a muddy gun! No fingerprints, alas, but you might want to
- take it along with you, just in case. Now, go West into the Side
- Yard. Hmm, more footprints here, but they aren't quite the same
- as the ones on the office path. In fact, it looks like someone
- was standing here for awhile. Wonder who it might have been? <No,
- *not* Sergeant Duffy!>. Anyway, go West again to the driveway,
- then North and East into the Garage. Unlock and open both the
- garage door and the workshop door, then go East into the
- Workshop. The place looks like an electrician's paradise, and
- there isn't much you can do here; but, there are spools of wire
- hanging around. Could it be...? Examine spool, and you have
- established a link of sorts between this place and the study.
- The green wire is obviously from this room. Now, all you need is
- the person who put it there.

- WITNESS Part Three
-
- You now stand there waiting for Monica. Just keep waiting;
- she'll arrive <saying "Wait for Monica" is easiest. It will take
- a while, so if you want to hunt down Phong and ask him about the
- gun receipt, you have time>. When she does get there, she'll
- fiddle briefly with the junction box <very suspicious!> before
- noticing you. Now, wait until she leaves, then follow her. You
- *must* use directions here, just saying "Follow Monica" won't
- work. Follow her all the way to her room, and wait for her to
- come back out of the bathroom. When she returns, ask her about
- Mr. Linder. Her response will establish the motive. Now, wait
- some more, and she will eventually leave the room. Follow her
- again, this time to the office. As soon as you get in there,
- handcuff her. Somewhere along the way, Sgt. Duffy will have
- left with the body, so you can't arrest her until he comes back.
- In the meantime, you have to find some very important evidence.
- So, first search Monica for the key. When you get it, unlock the
- clock and open it. She's already removed the gun, but you can
- search her for that, also. Now, just wait until Duffy returns,
- and arrest her for the murder. And that should be about it. By
- the way, if you try leaving her and waiting in the office <so you
- can find the gun in the clock>, you'll find that, however hard
- you try, you won't be able to handcuff her <which is necessary so
- she can be searched>. So, you'll just have to wait and follow
- her.
