For story-heavy games, the best guide is not always the longest one. With Sally Face, I usually want a small answer first: a puzzle code, a missable check, a chapter route reminder, or an achievement condition that keeps a replay from wasting time. Reading an entire walkthrough too early can flatten the mystery, especially in a game where atmosphere and discovery matter.

That is why separated reference pages are easier to use than one oversized walkthrough. Chapter routes help when you need the next step. Character notes help when you forget where Sal, Larry, Ashley, Todd, or another story thread fits. Achievement lists are better for a second pass, when spoilers matter less and completion planning matters more.

I have been using this kind of structure as a cleaner way to keep help available without turning the whole game into a checklist. The Sally Face walkthrough guides here are organized around that kind of lookup: sallyface.org/guides

It is useful when you want help without reading ahead too far. You can check the one thing that is blocking progress, then return to the chapter with most of the mood still intact.
