Lock Picking Refined

February 21, 2020

Finalized rooms continue to get knocked off the To Do list for Sleuthhounds: Cruise. In fact, I’ve recently started getting into the cabins aboard ship. However, for the sleuthhounds themselves to get into the cabins they need to resort to a little bit of lock picking first.

Over the course of the game Pureluck Homes can collect several different lock picks. These are needed to tackle more difficult locks. On Gumshoe (easy) mode, the tumblers of the locks are all colour coded to their lock picks. On Super Sleuth (hard) mode, there’s a little bit more to it than that, but that would be a spoiler!
