Photoshop images to create incriminating evidence against Riley

Level Overview

Welcome to Tricky Story Story 2 Level 44! Unwilling fake socialite Claire (blonde girl with back to player) is hiding in a small dark room, trying to make a desperate struggle against the computer. She wants to maliciously tamper with the mall's surveillance footage through Photoshop to fabricate false evidence of Riley stealing or violating rules out of thin air (photoshop images to create incriminating evidence against Riley). This level's core mechanism is malicious P-image synthesis mode (0/8). You need to use various misleading texture components in the prop bar at the bottom of the screen to precisely stuff them into the large monitor surveillance screen above one by one. Each successful drag and adsorption of a false forged evidence layer will add "+1" to the progress bar above. This guide will provide you with the most hardcore 8-step operation process to help you push the progress bar step by step to 8/8 to meet Claire's sinister plan!

Step-by-Step Walkthrough

1. P-in High-End Champagne Bottle into Riley's Arms (Progress 1/8): Click the champagne bottle in the first grid of the bottom prop bar. Drag it upward and stuff it into the elbow gap of Riley with her arms crossed in the surveillance big screen above to forge a picture of her stealing wine.
2. Paste Green Safety Exit Sign on Wall (Progress 2/8): Pull out the green "EXIT" safety exit sign from the bottom prop bar. Drag it upward and precisely paste it in the center of the blank white wall between the two chandeliers in the surveillance screen above.
3. Put Black Robber Hood on Riley's Head (Progress 3/8): Click the black robber mask/hood in the prop bar. Lift it and directly drag it to put it on Riley's head in the screen above, instantly changing her into a robber image. Progress bar successfully adds 1.
4. Move Away Toilet Paper Roll Hanging on Left Wall (Progress 4/8): Move your view to the lower left corner of Claire's computer screen. A toilet paper roll is hanging on the white brick wall next to the pink partition. Hold the paper roll and move it to the left edge to clear it, revealing a sticky note with synthesis password hidden behind.
5. Extract Hidden Mysterious Uncle Head Portrait Layer (Progress 5/8): Notice a mysterious bearded uncle head portrait in brown suit exposed on the far right of the prop bar. Hold the uncle head portrait and drag it upward to place it in the shadow on the right side of the clerk lady in the surveillance screen to forge the illusion of having contact accomplices.
6. Take Away Hidden Miniature Jewelry from Right Golden Birdcage (Progress 6/8): Click the golden round birdcage on the high platform on the far right of the surveillance screen above. A sparkling miniature diamond ring layer is hidden at the bottom edge of the railing. Click and pull it into Claire's computer software layer track.
7. Stuff Diamond Ring into Front Desk Computer Cash Register Screen (Progress 7/8): Drag the miniature diamond ring just extracted from the birdcage (Step 6) to precisely drag it onto the cash register computer screen standing on the wooden table at the front desk to create a synthesis special effect of Riley picking locks to steal money.
8. Click Orange Phone on Claire's Desk to Complete Final Synthesis (Progress 8/8): When all 7 malicious forged layers in front are all spliced and locked on the surveillance big screen (progress bar reaches 7/8), click the orange smartphone placed in the lower right corner of Claire's computer desk with your finger for data export (progress bar fills to 8/8 full). The computer screen flashes. The maliciously forged surveillance fake video is completed. Claire sneers and prepares to publish for successful clearance!

Pro Tips

• Multi-finger parallel synthesis flow: Dragging champagne (Step 1) and dragging green exit sign (Step 2) are next to each other in the bottom prop bar. In the first 10 seconds of opening, you can use left and right hands with two fingers together. One finger stuffs champagne to Riley while the other finger pastes the sign on the wall. This can greatly outrun the 60-second time limit.
• Strictly follow "break defense then stuff props" logic: You must first find the hidden miniature diamond ring in the golden birdcage on the right (Step 6). Only then will the system allow you to drag it to synthesize on the cash register in the center (Step 7). If you skip this step and directly hard-fight, the cash register layer will keep erroring and bouncing back.

Common Mistakes

• Mistakenly putting black robber hood on clerk lady's head on right: Clerk is the questioner in surveillance. If you wrongly put the debuff hood (Step 3) on her head, it will cause screen logic confusion and P-image judgment failure.
• Only clicking small phone on Claire's right hand without final waiting: The orange phone in the lower right corner (Step 8) is the final grand finale fuse of the whole level. You must click it after all 7 P-image patches in front are correctly assembled to be useful. Frantically clicking it at opening has no physical feedback.
• Trying to paste champagne bottle directly on white brick wall: All patches in the prop bar have hard-coded exclusive adsorption Hitboxes. Champagne (Step 1) will only be allowed to be stuffed into Riley's clothes. Pasting it on vacant white wall will be judged by the system as invalid displacement.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is the progress bar stuck at 7/8 and still not ending after I threw all the props up?

This is usually because you missed the final phone export core. Please strictly follow the steps above. After combining the safety sign, hood, and uncle on the surveillance big screen, click the orange phone placed in the lower right corner of Claire's computer screen again with your finger (Step 8). Trigger the final generation save slice. Only then will the whole level be perfectly passed.

Do the "118" gold stars in upper right corner have any other consumption in this level?

Absolutely not. That represents the total perfect star asset you have accumulated in the entire Hidden Heiress grand main line so far. It proves your perfect puzzle foundation. It does not change the hard physical judgment rule of Claire Photoshop maliciously forging evidence 8-point counter in this level.
