Runaway 3: A Twist of Fate (walkthrough)

Full detailed walkthrough for the last game of Runaway trilogy. Warning: it may contains partial spoilers for game story, but all spoilers are hidden by default.

In-game help system

As we can see, game developers decided to add a new feature to the game mechanics. Everytime we press F1 or help icon in the upper menu our friend Joshua will show up and give us a handy riddle or hint. This feature gives me a funny feelings in the start, but in the end it proved to be a helpful tool. I recommend using this tool, because solving puzzles alone (even with help) provides incredible satisfaction - look into this guide only when you really get stuck.

Chapter One - Brian Basco is Dead

So after interesting intro in which developers served us an unexpected turn of events, we are now in graveyard. This is little funny place to start a store, because most of stories usually ends here. Now we have a very hard task to dig Braian for his own grave. But with a little cleverness we can do this task in no-time. Lets strart preparations for "big ressurection".

Braian grave

Look at Braian grave, you will se a wreath, look on it and get ribbon from it. You can see a Crypt on the right of the grave, enter it.
