- Experiment with tool combos early to discover the most efficient cleaning sequence.
- Observe the layout before acting; planning moves reduces wasted time.

Collected evidence helps piece together the story behind each murder, adding narrative depth to the cleanup.
- Take a moment to scan walls and floors for subtle clues before cleaning.
- Prioritize items that look out of place; they often hide important evidence.
