Walkthrough entry

Use this page as the reviewer guide: start from Banana's unlocked phone, follow Lemon's mentor-style prompts, verify each reachable clue, then open one of the three endings. The cards are intentionally single-column and tall for vertical review.

Apple has Banana's phone.

The first playable beat is the system prompt telling Apple to message Lemon: "i got it." From there, Lemon nudges the player back into Banana's phone. The player can switch between DMs and the phone home screen, then use app icons or native keyword search.

Act I

Find the unknown viewer

Start in Bowl and make Strawberry discoverable through Banana's own activity.

Start

Banana's phone

Apple has the unlocked phone. Lemon asks if she got it and tells her to search inside the apps.

Expected clue: Lemon frames the phone as the game board.
Bowl

Profile anomaly

Banana's Bowl profile exposes the 2:47 AM last-seen timestamp and post activity rows.

Expected clue: the phone proves he was active after the sleep alibi.
Vinyl

1:14 AM like

Recently liked music creates a second late-night signal that does not fit.

Expected clue: the late like points back to social activity instead of sleep.
Bowl

Strawberry appears

Post activity points to @berries.berry. Her profile supplies home context.

Expected clue: tap her home photos/reel and notice the couch, kitchen, mirror, and bedroom details before following the comparison links.
Act II

Build device and payment proof

Use files, Tabs, Calendar, and Pulse to turn suspicion into a repeatable pattern.

Files

AirDrop from S

The paired iPad trail shows an AirDrop from S's iPhone.

Expected clue: S becomes a device-level lead.
Tabs

$47.50 recurring

Payments resolve the Strawberry counterparty and establish repetition.

Expected clue: money ties Strawberry to a recurring hidden routine.
Calendar

Thursday loop

Gym calendar edits create the alibi pattern the player later disproves.

Expected clue: Thursday is the repeated cover story.
Pulse

Location gap

Pulse shows Thursday gaps that line up with the gym story instead of proving it.

Expected clue: the tracker stops exactly where the alibi starts.
Act III

Connect the apartment

Use location and visual details to connect Banana's posts to Strawberry's home.

Photos

Folsom metadata

Private archive photos confirm GPS and address context for Strawberry's apartment.

Expected clue: tap the private photos. The player should discover furniture matches, GPS, and mirror/reflection details from the images first.
Spots

Overlap

Strawberry's public check-ins overlap Banana's gaps and connect the locations.

Expected clue: her public trail fills his missing trail.
Bowl

SOMA match

Banana's "friend's place" post matches Strawberry's apartment materials.

Expected clue: tap the photo markers. The room match comes from throw, bookshelf, and window-corner details inside the image.
Bowl

Restricted story

The hidden-story cache explains why Apple did not see the public-facing signal.

Expected clue: Apple was excluded from the audience, not missing the obvious.
Act IV

Reveal Lemon's role

The final investigation beat flips Lemon from mentor into implicated witness.

DM archive

Lemon knew

The rooftop archive reveals Lemon was present when Banana and Strawberry connected.

Expected clue: Lemon's guidance was not neutral after all.
Lemon Tabs

Complicity receipt

Lemon's $0 "thanks for keeping it" receipt closes the betrayal reveal.

Expected clue: Lemon had a reason to steer the player carefully.
Decision

Choose a response

After enough proof, Apple can confront, forgive, or leak the receipts.

Expected clue: the ending choice is about Apple, not about solving another puzzle.

Confront

Apple goes live on Bowl, brings Banana and Lemon into the room, and forces public accountability.

Open Confront ending

Leak

Apple posts the receipts; everyone learns, but the blast radius consumes her own life too.

Open Leak ending
