• Scan the entire screen methodically for any anomalies or objects that seem out of place, as hidden threats can be very subtle.
• Pay close attention to character dialogue and speech bubbles, as they often provide critical clues about upcoming threats or necessary actions, such as the chef's confession about the poisoned wine.
