Floor plan of “The Killing Clinic”. Letters mark the objects; the key is below. A thick blue edge marks a window.
Each suspect comes with what the witnesses remember. Read them all before placing anyone — a clue about one person is very often what pins down another.
Augustin — a man with red hair and glasses
He was in row 1 and he was beside a window
Berta — a woman with white hair
She was in column 4
Cosmo — a man with black hair and a beard
He was beside a carpet and he was beside a carpet or a table
Dimana — a woman with glasses
She was on a carpet and she was alone in the Cafeteria
Egbert — a man with a bald head
He was in the Emergency Room and he was beside a carpet or a chair
Fludiduda — a woman with brown hair
She was in the Reception and she was on a carpet
The victim, Olegme, is a man. Nothing else about them is known, and no clue depends on it.
Clues About the Whole Scene
Exactly 1 room is empty.
How Hard It Really Is
Deduction steps from the first clue to the verdict
Before anything else, count where each suspect could be if you only read their own clues:
Augustin: 2 possible tiles
Berta: 4 possible tiles
Cosmo: 5 possible tiles
Dimana: 4 possible tiles
Egbert: 2 possible tiles
Fludiduda: 2 possible tiles
The first deductions after that, in the order the solver finds them:
Augustin: only row 1 possible – blocked for others.
Dimana: only row 6 possible – blocked for others.
That is as far as this page goes. From here on it is yours — the in-game hint giver explains each next step if you get stuck, without giving the answer away.
This case has exactly one solution, and it can be reached by forward deduction alone — no guessing.
