Known as TKKG - Katja's Geheimnis in Germany. The game contains both the English and the German version. See here for more information on the franchise. This is a detective game where you visit locations, talk to people and collect evidence. I've been trying to figure out the shortest sequence of actions required to win the game. Here is the first draft of it. I might update this route as I find out more information. Route
WhoLocationDoing whatNotes
01?KioskLook at the newspaper, and leave
This sets a flag that makes Sandra appear at the bus stop.
02GabyBus stopTalk to Sandra
03GabyBus stopTalk to Sandra (again), ask if anything new happenedRequirement 1/3 There is sometimes someone riding a motorcycle across the screen which prevents you from leaving the screen earlier. Might be possible to manipulate.
04WilliDoor bellsRing at Peper 4 times, then either 1) click on the photo with Jennifer on the docks or 2) talk to the grandma if she knows anything about Jennifer's whereabouts, leaveRequirement 2/3
05?Private tutorLeave
06?Private tutorLeave
07?Private tutorLeave
08?Private tutorLook at reminder for outstanding payment on the desk, leaveRequirement 3/3
Doing the above sets a flag that removes the dog from the docks that blocks the way.
09?DocksOpen the shed and find Jennifer
10?DocksGo to the shed again, pick up the chocolate drops paperDon't use Willi, his voice line is long, in the german version at least...
11WilliSauerlich MansionTalk to Bertha, ask if dad is here and enter inside
12WilliSauerlich MansionTalk to dad and ask about the chocolate drops
This sets a flag that makes the store Sweet Dream accessible.
13GabyStoresEnter Sports & More, leaveOnly Gaby can advance the plot
14GabyStoresEnter Sports & More, look at secret message in bag, leave
15GabyStoresEnter Sweat Dream
16GabySweat DreamTalk to the temporary worker, then leave
17GabyStoresEnter Sweat Dream
18GabySweat DreamTalk to the temporary worker, ask about chocolate drops, when the worker leaves, enter password "pavarotti", click "customers", scroll down by click-holding on the down arrow until the entry about chcolate drops is shown and click on it.
This apparently sets a flag where the store Sports & More becomes inaccessible possibly rendering the game unwinnable if you haven't collected the secret message.
19AllHotelGet key to room 175, enter room 175
20AllHotel room 175Click on the desk and decode the secret message, leave
21AllHotelGet envelope (you automatically leave)
22AllHotelGet key to room 175, enter room 175
23AllHotel room 175Click on the desk, look at the earrings, use telephone, leaveRequirement 1/3 (earrings) Requirement 2/3 (police involved)
24AllTrain stationGo to the lockers and open locker 123, then go backRequirement 3/3 (money secured)
The above actions set a flag that makes the thieves appear on platform 3 or 4 (randomly chosen).
If you go to the train station without collecting the envelope from the hotel, without calling the police, or without looking at the earrings, then the thieves will not be there and the game has become unwinnable.
25AllTrain stationGo to platform 3 or 4 (whichever the game decided the thieves should appear in) and click on them.
Ending.

The route is pretty much clear. The only thing that was missing is which character to use for some locations, marked as "?" in the entries in my previous post. We will want to use the character that wastes the shortest amount of time talking. For now, I'm testing using the timer WSplit and will write down the times for both the German and the English language setting. TODO: Check and time dialogue choices that have to be done in order to advance to the important dialogue option. German

I never thought I'd see the day when TKKG TASing becomes a thing, but here we are. What a time to be alive!
Current project: Gex 3 any% Paused: Gex 64 any% There are no N64 emulators. Just SM64 emulators with hacky support for all the other games.
