Miles' apartment in the evening. Judging by the social conditions in the game, it must have taken a bit of non-conformism for him to marry a Black woman. from mobygames.com
The real complication is that Miles keeps hearing Bill's voice and needs medication or alcohol to sleep at night. Oops - the soporific started working while he's investigating... from mobygames.com
The Spectre Society, dedicated to studying paranormal phenomena. Miles can find some interesting read in their bookcase. from mobygames.com
The Spectre Society's founder is the only person to which Miles can be willing to confide that he can communicate with his deceased partner's ghost. from mobygames.com
I really love this scene - Miles' wife tells him how to repair the steam machine (you can do it under her guidance or have her do it herself). Chickz rule!! We can do everything! from mobygames.com
Miles quit taking the soporific drug - but instead drinks too much (in a pub where he used to go with Bill sometimes) because otherwise Bill won't let him sleep at night... from mobygames.com

A victim's room. Ronan was interested in travels, but never had an opportunity to do it himself - in fact, his partner (in a different meaning than Bill for Miles) brought him some items. from mobygames.com
You can read excerpts from a few books in Ronan's apartment, for example this one on Australian fauna. from mobygames.com

The victim's sister doesn't look entirely heteronormative in her masculine hat, but she used to worry that her brother could find a woman to marry... from mobygames.com
...and that's the truth she never realised: her brother was gay. This is his former partner, Jimbo the sailor. from mobygames.com

The investigation now turned high-profile because the Justice Killer's latest victim was a politician. Here Miles is talking to his wife. from mobygames.com
The police chief gave Miles strict conditions - either he solves the case until next evening or is arrested himself. But at least Miles no longer needs to hide from him... from mobygames.com
The iron works. Miles is in a hurry and now he gets more work - the foreman will only let him investigate further if he helps find the saboteur. from mobygames.com

The brothel. Being an anti-prostitution feminist, I immediately felt more understanding for the Justice Killer... from mobygames.com
No more spoilers! But at least this final scene: if you solve the last case, Bill will move on to the afterlife and Miles will confess over his grave that he misses Bill's voice... from mobygames.com
And now a bit of bonus content: the bridge... from mobygames.com
...and the original concept for Miles' apartment. Apart from it only having one place to sit (which could have been fixed), I think it DID look better... from mobygames.com
A steampunk-ish detective adventure from the creator of A Golden Wake and Shardlight! Can private investigator Miles Fordham find justice for his clients and track down his partner's killer before his entire world comes apart?
