Is there a way to retry puzzles in a case without replaying the whole case?
I got an A rank on case 3 instead of an S rank and I'm not sure why (did I miss a puzzle?)

Given that there's no fast way to skip through dialogue and no way to skip over replaying puzzles, it'll be frustrating to replay to unlock the extra puzzles/memories.

Same question. It would be so good to see this feature. I want to look at SCOUT's memories but having to play the same chapter twice just throws me off it.

Ditto. I'm missing the S-rank puzzles on Cases 1 and 2, but I can't see any way to get them other than replaying the whole level.

My inner completionist is crying in a corner.

It's not possible, let's hope they'll add the feature soon. Case 3 is bugged because there's a hidden puzzle everybody misses for some reason, myself included. You'll have to replay it from scratch if you want the S rank.

As of now, you still need to redo the whole chapter. Uggggghhhhhh

I'm pretty sure I also missed the Case 3 puzzle and will end up with A instead of S. I believe it's the first investigate phase in the bar. You can investigate before talking to Fran and if you don't the story will push you out of that scene before you have a chance to investigate for the puzzle.

Bumping this thread to say to the devs, PLEASE add the ability to go back and just get the missing puzzles. I don't want to replay case 3 to get S rank if there's also not a "skip dialog" button.

Also bumping this thread - devs, PLEASE implement this feature! Like many of the people here, I'm curious about SCOUT's memories but don't want to suffer through a lengthy and irritating accessibility issue just to get to the puzzles.

Two things I'd add to solve this issue:
1. Confirmation when something will trigger a "point of no return" that will inevitable cause optional puzzles to be missed.
2. Speed up or skip text by holding the Cancel/Back button.

Wow, I can't believe I can't just pick which puzzles to redo. Incredibly stupid design choice. This post from another topic explains how to unlock the bonus puzzles at least:

Not exactly a fix to the problem, but a way to set "S" rank in those cases without replaying again:

- Go to \Users\{your-username}\AppData\LocalLow\Mediatonic\Murder by Numbers
- Open MemoryProgress.txt
- Set the value in "CaseRanks":[x,x,x,x] where index of a number is the chapter. Use 6 for "S" rank, e.g. "CaseRanks":[6,6,6,6] would set "S" rank for all cases (likely you don't want that before you finish each chapter)

Hope that helps!
