For the assignment 18 (Story for the poetry section): if you read the ads outside the nickel news carefully, you'll notice that the advertisement for plumbing pigeon sisters contains rhymes. Just take a picture of that piece of paper and you're done :)

[adornisfication]

for something disgusting, when you enter the bathroom don't forget to "flip the switch" at the left side of the entrance. this will trigger leonard's conversation about it. hope this can be added to the guide since it wasn't mentioned specifically so i was entering and exiting the bathroom 5 times with "hey leonard." repeatedly XD

@FearFearghail There's a short scene with Ransome, along with the credits.

[marg.syngrou]

You can take picture of the trash can on fire too..

[StefanosK27]

It's ridiculous to start over with zero progress after 5 successful photographs.

[FearFearghail]

does anything happen once you complete all 30 photo assignments or does the game repeat itself?

[VanBrynn]

hope everything's updated now!

[SecularSurfer]

You can also activate Philipp's Dangerous Dövice by using the screwdriver on the lightswitch in the convenience store restroom.

I had to use a guide on the "blowing up the mansion" puzzle. That was a little out there. Much like the radioactive waste puzzle in the original, once you use a guide, it's a little hard to enjoy getting stuck for the rest of the game because you're always thinking, "is the answer to this puzzle just stupid? Or can I figure this out using logic?"

I had so much fun though.
