Last update: 11 May 2016
This chapter isn't obligatory and has been created with complete beginners in mind. It lets you learn the basic controls, though you should choose to play it even in Adventure mode, as it lets you obtain the "Expert Eye" achievement.
After the intro and reaching Budapest, you will take control over Ellen.
Inside the office, move forward and speak with the inspector sitting behind the desk. Afterwards move the camera to the painting on the right and use the ultraviolet lamp on it. Bingo! It's the lost painting. You will receive the first Achievement - Expert Eye. After a short conversation with the inspector, you can take the painting with you. Look at the board on the wall, at the man's photo. The discovered item is in his hand. Speak with the inspector about every possible topic and take the lighter and scotch tape from the desk.
There's a crate underneath the board. You need to place the painting inside it. There's a seal on the safe, take it. Move to the entrance and on the left on the desk you will find a red wax and plastic packing strip. Return to the box and use the packing strip on it. Afterwards use the lighter on the red wax and use the melted wax on the box. Place the seal at the same place. The last thing you need to do is placing the secured painting into the safe.
Afterwards, head back to the area of the entrance door and look at the stuff on the right. Click on the tape recorder on the left and take out the tape from the box. Now use the scotch tape on it in the inventory. Insert the therefore repaired tape into the player, there's an empty slot on the right side. Now you have to adjust the machine to be able to listen to the recording. Afterwards you have to set the recording so that you can hear what the voice is saying. Press the PLAY button at the top and start adjusting. Going from the left, the gauges should be set at 100, 200, 200, 115, 70. Notice - all lamps marked as ON have to be switched on. Just press them to do it.
Approach the inspector's desk. As the man left, you cannot miss the chance of taking a peek at the thief's acts. They can be found in the first column of cabinets, at the very bottom. After opening the drawer, click on act 14. Take the strip of paper found in the acts. In your inventory, look at the documents section and note that Friedlen's acts mention a certain Kilic, whose acts can also be found here, more precisely in the second from the top drawer in the MQ column. His acts are numbered 8.
Head out through the door in front of the inspector's desk. In the cell you're in for an unpleasant surprise - you will have to examine a corpse. Take note of the wrist of the left hand and speak with the inspector. Afterwards look at the sink opposite of the corpse and take a look at the soap. Head out onto the corridor and open the cupboard on the left side by using the received key. Inside you will find a Polaroid camera, batteries, a film, an empty sprayer and a fingerprint powder. Place the batteries and film into the camera and the fingerprint powder into the sprayer. Speak with the inspector - there will be a new dialogue option. In the end, take a photo of the corpse, aiming the lens at the face. You can also take a photo of the inspector to unlock the "Paparazzo" achievement.
After you return to the upper floor, it's time for Ellen to take her medicine for the first time. First a blue + blue-white pill, followed by a red-white + blue. Miss Cross should return to shape. Health points recovered by given combination are showed in the above screenshot. The last thing you have to do in the prologue is use the phone from the inspector's desk and choose the MUSEUM option.
