General Tips

Nightfall Mysteries: Asylum Conspiracy is a Hidden Object Puzzle Adventure game.
You can replay or skip cut scenes by clicking on the appropriate buttons at the top of the screen.
As you exit a scene, or try to enter a door, the name of that location will be shown above the scene. This, along with the Map in the Notebook, makes it a lot easier to find places in the game.
Sparkling indicates an area that needs to be investigated.
Inventory items you pick up along the way will be stored in the tray at the bottom of each screen.
Use the arrows at both ends of your inventory tray to scroll through all available items.
Click on the large circle in the lower right corner to use a hint. A lit circle will show you a random item from the list. You can also click on a name from your list to locate a specific item in a Hidden Object Scene.
The hints are unlimited but have to be charged between uses.

There are 15 Audio Tapes to find in the game. Each time you find one, it will fall into a numbered slot.
Audio Tapes can be found out in the open, in a hidden compartment, or in a Hidden Object Scene.
Drag the tapes to the tape player to listen to them. You can exit out of the Notebook and still listen to the tape without interrupting your game.
If you don't wish to listen to the audio tape, you can choose to read the text on the right side of the page.
The locations of all the Audio Tapes are listed at the end of the guide and are also noted throughout the guide in order of appearance.
Tapes that have not been listened to will have "new" written across them.
