LAST WINDOW SPEEDRUNNING GUIDE Ver 1.0.1, in 17/07/2024. Modified on 09/09/2024.
Brought to you by Adrot.
FOR EMULATOR PLAYERS:
If you want to play using Desmume, please pick version 0.9.13 or above. The older versions have a visual glitcht hat makes the minimap invisible on Chapter 10's areas where the flashlight is used.
FOREWARNING: This guide is made for speedrunning purposes and it's inconsistently written.
As such, there is an expectation that you should know to press buttons when prompted(When someone knocks at the door, prepare to press the Door button as it will flash on. When someone is calling on the phone, prepare to press the Phone button as it will flash on. Be sure to be close enough to people to just press theT alk button when prompted), or that you fully played this game before. Unless explicitly written, it's expected that you should go through the interrogation lines as usual.
Will it be necessary to know when the Inquire button will appear on which statement, or knowing when button prompts show up? Then, it might get added in the guide in the future.
For suggestions and ideas to add to the Guide, please contact me at adrot@protonmail.com

[PUZZLE]
(IMPORTANT: This puzzle dictates some minor future actions Kyle will get. Because of this, this puzzle needs extra research as to how it can be optimized.
As of now, this is difficult to calculate so, additional research must be conducted at a latter date. So far, I have established that the most safe route would be to lose all rounds to all characters so you can sit less at the table and talk less with the characters afterwards.)
In order to lose all rounds, move the stick with as little force as possible on the ball. The slower it is, the faster the round will end.
//Talk to Sidney and play the game to lose like with Tony, then do the same with Claire. (It's hard to look at Kyle get sad so many times...)

(ON DELTA)
There is no current way to play this without loading a save that puts you right after solving the puzzle.
(NOTES)
There is a chance that you can still go through Kyle's dialogue while the device detects the Lid as closed. Desmume does this. Do other devices do the same? If so, then it might help to actually time the closing of the lid without skipping Kyle's dialogue, close it, go through his monologue, hold the trigger, then open and grab the key. This matters because the drum opening passes by you the first time because of Kyle's monologue not letting you act.
