Confidential Killings walkthrough – Full guide to all level solutions
Confidential Killings, a classic whodunnit about piecing together clues to figure out what happened in a number of crimes, is a tricky little game. Great fun, don’t get us wrong, but without a built-in hint system, figuring out what to do isn’t always that easy. That’s where we come in: our Confidential Killings walkthrough provides all the solutions in case you get stuck.
For each level, you’ll need to correctly name a list of witnesses, suspects and victims, as well as fill in clues to complete a reconstruction. Some levels have extra information to fill in, too, and you’ll find solutions to those below as well.
We haven’t told you where to find each clue, as these are pretty self-explanatory. Make sure you click around every location in each level, looking through every person’s inventory where possible. If you’re stuck, use the ‘hint’ button at the bottom-left of your screen, which will highlight every clickable part of your screen.
We’ve split up our Confidential Killings walkthrough into levels ,which you can jump to using the quick links menu below. For each level, you’ll find a reconstruction section, with blanks highlighted in bold, and a people section. For the people, these are listed from left to right, top to bottom. Input everything correctly, and you’ll have no problem solving this fun little whodunnit.

Patrick Raven was killed by Ivy Otter. The killer sent him petals to cause an allergic reaction which made him take his pills, but they had been swapped with a different kind found in the bathroom. This caused Patrick Raven to suffocate and fall into the pool.
The reason for the killing is the victim’s relationship with Kady Keller, who used him to obtain a role in the latest play.

Tomy Moreno‘s motive was revenge – he blamed Kady Keller for the arrest of his lover, Ivy Otter.

Kady’s interview
First, gather as much evidence as you can from the filing cabinet and the letters in front of Kady. Then go through the dialogue options with Kady, filling in the blanks and gathering new clues from her dialogue.
Interview questions:
- Do these notes you’ve been receiving have a letter K stamped on them?
- Do you have any idea who’s the man who sent you this? Or who is the patron?
- We never get any complaints about these Ad Astra centers. They seem clean.
- Dennis Miller, the gossip writer? What about him?
Reconstruction:
A string of killings surrounding actress Kady Keller has left her afraid for her life. She has been receiving notes stamped with a letter K.
Journalist Dennis Miller requested a meeting at the radio station, but she suspects it might be a trap.
She wants me to go there to check whether it is safe for her.
Radio
To gather all the clues in the Radio Station mission, you’ll need to find a safe code. From the letter on Mike’s desk and the note on the billboard, you can deduce that it’s Evelyn’s birthday. You’ll find this by looking at the letter in Evelyn’s inventory.
The safe code for the radio station is therefore 03081956.
People:

But before the show, Dennis Miller stepped out to talk to Kady Keller, so Jakizzy Kunta had to replace him.
When the show aired, the sabotaged control panel short-circuited, causing the death of Jakizzy Kunta.

Ad Astra
To get into the staff CCTV room on the right-hand side, you’ll first need to find the key. You’ll find this on the floor in Room 3 on the other side of the building, near the feet of the man who has been shot.

Troy Dixon was eventually shot by a policeman after his revolver was already empty.

Kenneth’s interview
Like Kady’s interview, first look in the filing cabinet and at the papers in front of Kenneth before beginning to interview him. You’ll gather new clues from each piece of his dialogue.
Questions
- Well, there’s been a letter with your stamp connected to a lot of those deaths.
- It might be, if your little letters result in the murder of those you pointed them to.
- You mean Roman Lipko? Who is he? What does he have to do with all of this?
- Murder?
- He enrolled in the army to fight in the Korean war. But here it says that he died in 1952?
- Are you saying that Roman Lipko stole Dominic Fraser‘s identity?
- And no-one ever noticed that he isn’t the hero he claimed to be?
- And that new drug must be GAZE?
- And that trade must’ve been importing GAZE?
- Did you manage to get in on the operation?
- Wait. What happens today?
Reconstruction:
Kenneth Cleveland, long linked to the case through his stamp on the letters, revealed that Dominic Fraser is in fact Roman Lipko, a former spy who built his empire through the smuggling of GAZE.
After Cleveland attempted to force his way into the operation, Roman Lipko responded by ordering his murder in the desert.
Kenneth survived and vowed to systematically destroy the empire Dominic built.
He warned of an imminent incident at the Fraser mansion, urging immediate police intervention.

Clarisse Lehmann orchestrated a mass poisoning by placing a toxic plant into the champagne used for the toast at the meeting.
All attendees except Dominic Fraser were killed. He was spared as he drank only water due to his heart condition.
The killer wanted to avenge the death of Bradley Fraser, who had been killed by Pedro Diaz on the orders of Dominic Fraser.
The killer learned this information through the letters sent by Kenneth Cleveland.
