In this Strange Case 1 Walkthrough, I explain all puzzle solutions. It is a game full of suspense, a story about a case known as Alchemist. An entity has defiled a grave and nobody knows the reason why. I play as a detective from first person viewpoint and a ghost mode that I really enjoyed. The special power takes me to the same world but different dimension that seems the upside down. I examine every object surrounding me because to conclude the story I must solve all three chapters: Machine, After Death, and Honey. The house I am in is suspicious. I can move side by side, tap the object to zoom in, and add items in a tray at the bottom of the screen.
