A compact reference for those moments when a game gives you no obvious next move. Work from what you know, test the likely conditions, and avoid turning a simple progression problem into a save problem.

01 / WHY PROGRESSION STALLS

Most “stuck” moments are really missing information.

A game can leave a route looking inactive when the actual requirement is a previous conversation, a particular location, a time window, an item, or a sequence of events.

The fastest approach is not to try everything. Reconstruct the last confirmed state and investigate from there.

NOTE A

Trace backward

Start with the last objective you know was completed.

Method →

NOTE B

Check conditions

Time, place, inventory and prerequisites can all matter.

Checks →

NOTE C

Protect the save

Test on a copy whenever experimentation could affect progress.
