Investigate the files on an old computer from a gruesome case that was said to be unsolvable in the puzzle-mystery game Type Help by William Rous.

Let me know when the walkthroughs are on YouTube. I accessed but am currently to tired to think about and dissect the information in the files. I can't stop yawning. Maybe it's because of the French fries and bacon I ate for brunch. And I'm also too tired to make sense of the umpteen too many comments meaning I have to scroll back and forth, which is very tedious. And I just received the "name" command, and I don't know what to use it for or how. It's all new to me.
Great game! After a certain point, my new files aren’t showing up on the list of files. Is this a glitch in the game? Thanks!
I like that I can just copy & paste
Not a glitch, the files are split into 4 acts that you can see with the "list" command (list 1, list 2, etc.). Someone mentioned in the comments though that you can see all the files you've unlocked at once with the command find then press enter twice. IMO this layout is way better and much easier to navigate, but I'm sure the creator has their own reasons for the way they designed this part of the game.
The name command just allows you to display the names you find next to the numbers you think the names match with. To use it you just type name (#) (name), filling in the number you're naming, and the name you're assigning them. After filling all the names in, I only needed to use it a few more times to add surnames or correct my naming mistakes.
(0) 00-readme

(3) 03-LI-1-4-5-6-7-8-9
I've spent quite a bit of time on this, have become quite intrigued by the story and the logical progression of game play, and I have a feeling I've only scratched the surface! While I may never actually finish, thumbs up to the author for something "different".
Thank you!
do you happen to know what the fourth file is? i got file 'readme' file 'invitation' file and 01, 02, and 03 files
Fun deduction challenge. I think the most interesting part was tracking characters from scene to scene- trying to figure out where some of them were during meaningless times was surprisingly difficult!
Love this game! I got a bit stuck in Act 2 but then I made a list of all the possible locations and just started trying to find the Act 1 scenes I was missing and that jump-started me.
I'm stuck on these files, and IDK how to progress.
This is really fun. Reminds me of Lucas Pope's Return of the Obra Dinn
Question (rot 13): vf gurer na raq fperra, be jnf svany abgr gur raq fperra

What a fun game! Took me two days to find all the files (97). Comments helped quite a bit
00-readme has a scene number in it. Paste that into the box and you will read the scene.
The end of scene 03-LI-1-4-5-6-7-8-9 indicates that certain characters will be going to different locations next, two different locations in fact. How do the bolded location names relate to the numbering scheme of the scenes?
I have 98 files, you may be missing one of the hidden ones
Here are the names I figured out thus far: 1=John, 5=Martha, 6=Eddie, 7=Vic, and 8=Damian.
Found the last one! I was missing the file that reveals the agent's name.
Which one reveals the name? Rot13: V sbhaq gur qernz svyr ohg qba'g frr n anzr whfg ahzoref.
Loved that game!
