Interface
Read the readme files on the left of the screen. The game commences when you click the search button using the pre-defined keyword "MURDER". This will show you 4 starting videos. Watch these to learn the early details of the case. The remainder of the game involves searching for more keywords that you discover along the way. You will only be shown a maximum of 5 videos for anything you enter, and these are the 5 earliest in chronological order.
If you move the main window to the right a bit you can see the "DB Checker" program - the green squares here are the videos you have seen (yellow is most recent), and the dark red squares are those you have yet to discover.
Keywords
The following is one possible order of discovering keywords by watching the videos in an expected order (this is definitely not the most efficient way of seeing all of the videos). After each keyword is the number of total matches in the database for that word, and the number of new videos that the keyword lets you view if played through in this order.
