— In-game Description

Trivia[]

The novel cover reads: The Tomb of the Cursed Tea-tray by Albert Camus.

When a character reads a Detective Novel, they can read out one of the following passages:

Burger[]

As I exited the burger joint I saw him again, out of the corner of my eye: the man with the clipped moustache.  Here, in Manhattan.  My instinct had been correct from the start - I was being followed.

Trap Door[]

I rolled up the rug, shone my torch around the edges of the trap-door and was relieved to find the single hair I'd left still stuck across the crack.  No one had been down there for five years.

Safe[]

I descended the ladder, walked to the far corner of the basement and pulled up the loose tile.  Underneath it was the safe.  I fumbled my key in the lock a few times and had to pause to get a hold of myself.  Finally, it clicked and I swung the door open.  It was completely empty.

Police[]

A loudspeaker cut through the stillness, causing me to jump up and bang my head on the low basement ceiling.  'This is the N.Y.P.D.!  We know you're in there, Jacob!'  I stared at the empty safe in disbelief.  'You clever son of a bitch', I muttered.

Walter[]

Walter pulled up a chair.  'This would go a lot easier,' he said, 'if you'd tell us what you know.'  'You got the wrong guy,' I growled.  'Oh I know that,' he replied, 'but what I don't know is why you broke into my apartment at 4 a.m. last Tuesday.'  I began to laugh.
