Here's a video walkthrough if you're stuck at any point (if you feel like you're doing the right thing, but still can't progress, let us know - you might have found a game-breaking bug!)
Here's a step-by-step walkthrough to progress through the game:
BriefingScan the mission brief. This should unlock a new file that you can switch to (see Controls). First photo, part 1In the city view scene, press the Enhance button when you're hovering over the squirrels on the bench. This should reveal a more detailed image! First photo, part 2Enhance the graffiti behind the squirrels, AND the flyer to the right of the bench, with an acorn on it. Second photo, part 1There are two spots to enhance here - one is the table closest to you with three squirrels around it, the other is the exchange between the bartender and squirrel on the left. Second photo, part 2You need to have three things scanned - the bartender's glasses, they keys coming out of his pocket, and the slip of paper on the table you've previously enhanced. Thirt photo, part 1Scan three things - the squirrel with the shiny mask at reception, the sad squirrel in the first row of chairs with an anti-AI sign, and the slogans on the empty chair in the back row. This unlocks a higher zoom. Third photo, part 2Zoom all the way in to the door at the far end of the hallway, and enhance the left window. Third photo, part 3Scan the face of the bandaged squirrel on the hospital bed, THEN the medical history hanging at the front of her bed, and FINALLY the phone on her bedside table. Zoom closer if you need to. ???, part 1Keep zooming out, out of the computer, and once you've seen the office, continue zooming out until your character says "Holy..." ???, part 2Examine all three dialogue options. You will then be taken to the pinboard. FinaleThe only thing left is to scan every picture on the board.
