The easiest way to solve cases(Brute Force)
By Artsyo
This guide also contains my cringe writing story of what I went through before I created this strat.
The strat might destroy immersion if you're focused on really getting in to the game and feel the real experience.
I really don't recommend unless you struggle and have no idea how to progress or you just don't want to spend hours and hours on cases.

The cringe story(Feel free to skip)
Under spoilers there is just cringe explanation how I created that strat. Feel free to skip LOL.

The struggle
Hello, I've recently started playing Shadows of Doubt.
I started my first game on sandbox got stuck at first murder. Thought to myself okay I'm no master of logic games and such so maybe I just took wrong approach.
Made the second game did the same mistakes and gave up from frustration.
Hopes
I started normal playthrough(Medium map - normal difficulty) going through tutorial murder case trying to understand more about the game.
Thought to myself okay, maybe it's not that hard.
Got the first my first murder case solved as the game took me by the hand. I felt ready, went around looking for side jobs did a few struggling but hey, solved two or three.
And there the second murder happens
Street murder.
I search the person, inspect pin every information I have look around ask people if they saw anything suspicious.
Few attempts and nothing, but then - Short brown hair, hair - I got the directions and whereabouts.
I search the victim apartment for information any connections - the diary, the notes.
I have a few suspects but not sure which one.
F**k it - started giving the case in to try and guess.
But none of them was correct
I felt defeated I spent around 3 hours looking for clues and things looked like at least one of them should be right.
But then I realized I was inexperienced and I wanted to rush things.
I started doing more side jobs - arrests were my choice because they seemed easiest.
First few cases a lot of information - easy money.
But then.
The information about the citizen - brown eyes, shoe size 9
At this point I was like - Man if this games does that to me I will just suffer because I'm no good at this things.

The actual strat
The brute force arc
I thought to myself - I'm supposed to be a detective, so why shouldn't I become the best one by... Having the whole city under check mate.
I've began my plan.

-Created own case
-Look around whole map
-Pin every place possible containing employee directories
-Search directories, look for photos in offices
-Anywhere that contains crunchers logged in take passcode, log out and log in (Free auto filling of codes for future)
-Pin every person(Auto connects to workplace)
-Suffer ♥♥♥♥ ton of lag due to having almost whole town pinned
-Have the whole town under control
The cringe conclusion

Now I have almost all information about almost everybody in my town. I only need to find clues and connect dots. But it's way, way easier. I have become god of this town, there is no murderer that will run free if I'm around. I'll bring justice but brute forcing the game.
