They also link to other entries, sometimes automatically and sometimes through player action. This page is best used to search for a specific word or phrase, as following the links in this format can be difficult. For an experience that better accommodates the branching structure of these conversations, see the corresponding interactive page.

Column definitions:
  • ID: a numerical index for the entry within this conversation.
  • Character: the character speaking or acting.
  • Dialogue: prose containing spoken dialogue and other description.
  • Conditions: logical checks governing this entry appearing or occurring.
  • Links: entries that might follow this one, depending on conditions and player choice. Most links are internal to this conversation, external links to other conversations are marked with the format (conversation ID, entry ID).

8 Visual Calculus No, these tracks are not interesting at all. Let the street sweeper just sweep them away.
  • 15
9 Visual Calculus The tracks are as they have ever been. A bit more worn, perhaps. Fortunately, the street sweeper still hasn't noticed their presence.

  • 35

16 You What kind of vehicle drove through here?
  • 38
17 Perception (Sight) Hard to say.
  • 6
18 Visual Calculus The tyre tracks were left here by an unknown event that took place some days ago. It's a message, written in the language of burnt rubber.
  • 19
19 Visual Calculus Some of that rubber stuck to the tiles right in front of the Whirling-in-Rags. This is point A. The driver started there...
  • 13
20 Visual Calculus The driver proceeded to back out of the yard, barely stopping before hitting the adjacent building...
  • 21
21 Visual Calculus ...before heading south. Must have been in a hurry.
  • 52
22 You This is significant somehow.
  • 23
23 Visual Calculus Maybe. Probably.

  • 66
30 Inland Empire An ominous warning of bad things ahead.

47 Visual Calculus Yes. And ended up half-sunken in the sea. You must have been drunk when you left off.
  • 57
48 You Damn bartender.
  • 49
49 Authority He was exaggerating. People blame *cops* for everything that goes wrong in the world. This has nothing to do with you.

  • 58
64 Kim Kitsuragi "No wonder the cafeteria manager seemed frustrated when he was giving us directions to the yard."
  • 63
65 Kim Kitsuragi The lieutenant follows the tracks with his gaze. "That's plausible. A similar... reckless abandon seems to be in evidence."
  • 58
66 Inland Empire Somehow that makes you feel... scared. You don't know why.

70 Interfacing As a matter of fact, you don't even know why you stopped here. You would never drive recklessly like this. And you don't have a car.
  • 42
71 You "Is this connected to the case?" Variable["coast.sunken_dialogue_done"] == false
  • 72
72 Kim Kitsuragi "I'm not sure... there are plenty of traffic accidents waiting to happen in Martinaise. With the jam right here on the roundabout. I would keep them separate."

  • 55
74 You Why am I looking at this?
  • 75
75 Perception (Sight) Cop habit. You look at everything.
  • 76
76 Logic This isn't case-related, you think.
  • 6
77 Visual Calculus You could *follow* the tracks south. There seems to be a canal there. See where they went. (If you find the time.)
