Plot[]
Arriving in Howling Valley, Chief Ernest told Major Lucas and the player that they would need to be careful around the Fontaine family. Major decided to go check the Fontaine Memorial with the player, where they discovered the body of Pete Fontaine, without his arms. The detectives soon ended up putting five members of the family as suspects, including Pete's parents, sister and two cousins. At first, we suspected the victim’s father, businessman Horatio Fontaine because of the victim’s bad behavior making the family look bad, artist Daphnée Fontaine because the victim destroyed her work and the victim’s sister, young woman Alexia Fontaine because of her recent fight with the victim. After, we heard that the victim was visiting a cabin often. We then added the victim’s mother, socialite Gwendoline Fontaine because her son was always asking her for money and banker Derek Fontaine as Pete stole money from the bank. They later learned of someone lurking around the cabin, who was exposed to be Horatio Fontaine. Finally the clues, including the victim's arms and a rusty sword, determined the killer to be Derek Fontaine.
Surprised at first, Derek tried to deny the accusation, but he soon realized that the team had caught him, making him admit to the crime. He explained that Pete was a dishonorable member of their family and that he had to go. He explained that Pete had made their family look like a bunch of idiots and that he had to pay for what he had done. When ask why he had cut off his arms, Derek responded by saying that Pete had created lies and stupidity with his hands and that he had to see that some creations have to be demolished. Disgusted by this, Judge Brighton sentenced him to 45 years in prison.
Later, a student named Nicolas Knight came to the station, asking for our help. When Major asked what he wanted, he explained that he was traveling through the forest only to be attacked by a monster. Arriving in the woods, they found a school bag covered with badges. Upon looking inside, they found the ID card of a certain Luke Fox who strangely looked like a fox walking on two feet. They went to his house only to discover that animals on two feet were normal in this part of the city and that he was also sorry to have scared Nicolas, going to the station to apologize.
Meanwhile, Daphnée came to us as she had heard about the fact that someone from her family was in a illegal group. She explained that she saw someone lurking in the Memorial, but she couldn’t tell who it was. In the Fontaine Memorial, the detectives found a chest full of papers and pens. Inside, we found the same liquid as the one the team had discovered in Bayside Avenue. Upon hearing this, the chief told us that we would once again need to keep a eye open for the substance. We then heard from Adelina Delora that a murder had happened at the local campsite near Westchester Lake.
