Psychic Detective solution

Preface:
Due to the interactive nature of this title, there are many ways to complete the game. The game can finish in one of several endings. Although the following walkthrough may not be the most optimal, it does expose most of the major plot themes. Note that the solution branches at several points in order to reach the different endings. Follow the main solution without choosing the other endings to see The Grand Slam Solution, which is the best ending. To see the Moki's Playmate Solution, watch the entire game without making any choices and lose the Black Diamond game.

Moki will speak briefly with Chad, examine a photograph, and walk upstairs. He will then have a confrontation with Laina and retrieve some items from her past. Moki will return downstairs to the kitchen and make a deal with Chad. After Chad leaves the room, Moki will search a cabinet and read a newspaper. Jump into Sylvia's mind when Moki sees her in the mirror.

Sylvia will take a knife from the kitchen and walk upstairs to the study. Jump into Chad's mind when it becomes available.

Sylvia will be monitoring a conversation between Moki and Max. Jump to Sergei's mind when Max tears the paper obtained from Moki. This must be done quickly in order to see Sergei's killer.

Sergei will be shot by Lance. The collector's effect will end. As Laina screams, Sergei will stagger into the house and die. The police will arrive and arrest Fox.

Jump to Laina's mind at the intersection. She will apologize for the current situation. Jump into the mind of the skateboard kid.

As the kid moves through the city, he will encounter a limousine with Max and Sylvia. After that, he will pass Monica at MirageQuest. Finally, a bag lady will appear. Jump into her mind.

The bag lady will wander through the city and stop in front of a pawn shop. The psychic collector that is inside will alter Fox's view and alert him to its presence.

Lt. Griggs will wake up Fox and release him from custody. Laina will pick up Fox from the station. Fox will tell Laina about the fourth collector and give her directions to the pawn shop.

Lose the game to end with the Double War solution.

Finish the game with a perfect tie to end with The Puka Lounge Blues solution. One way to accomplish this is to have the kite as Eric's last remaining piece, while Max has the cigarette. As a last move, those pieces would cancel each other out.
