Truth Album Card Puzzle

The Truth Album (真相畫冊) is the reconstruction puzzle: at the end of a case, you lay out the crime as an ordered chain of cards. The game's own description names the five stages, and the order is the answer.

The five stages

1. Motive (動機) — why the killing happened at all.
2. Activation of the madness power (病能發動) — which Disorder was in play and how it was triggered.
3. The killing (行凶) — what actually killed the victim.
4. Staging of the scene (布置現場) — how the crime scene was made to look like something it was not.
5. Forged alibi (偽造不在場證明) — the cover story, and the point at which the whole thing becomes solvable.

That order is a genuine logic chain and not a formality. The madness activation has to come before the killing because the Disorder is the mechanism; the staging has to come after the killing because staging is by definition a response to it; and the forged alibi comes last because it is the layer that turns a murder into a locked-room murder. If you try to force a different order, the chain will not close.

How the puzzle uses the Disorders

Step 2 is where the disorder set pays off. A Disorder is not just a lens on the scene — it is a tool that was used. Your custom execution is keyed to the killer's specific disorder, which means that solving the album means correctly identifying (a) whose disorder it was and (b) how that particular disorder would be weaponised against a victim.

• Neglect-based powers explain how someone could be present without being seen in a space they were in.
• Faceless prosopagnosia explains how a body could be misidentified — or misidentified correctly by the wrong person.
• Truth-binding and perfect recall explain how a lie fails, or how a memory cannot be quietly edited.
• World Creation explains how the scene itself could be a lie someone else is seeing.

Solving it yourself

Scan the scene carefully, keep the five stages separate as you gather clues, and note which clue belongs to which stage — most of the mistakes people report are a clue filed under the wrong stage rather than a wrong deduction. The demo covers Chapter 1 in full, so the first album is available before you commit to the full game.
