Tears of Themis Episode 4: Les Tournesols walkthrough

Les Tournesols (meaning The Sunflowers) is the fourth episode of Tears of Themis, and the last of what could be considered the introductory chapters. By the time you’ve finished this episode, you’ll have unlocked all of the remaining major endgame content – NXX HQ, the NXX Lounge, and Fieldwork – as well as an invitation card for the fourth and final love interest (Marius), allowing you to add him to your homescreen.

In Les Tournesols, Marius asks the protagonist to investigate a cold case, looking into the death of an art dealer he was close to. A year later, his business partner is being charged with assisting in his suicide – but the man maintains that his friend was murdered by someone else, even while admitting to committing wide-scale fraud and allowing the dead man to take the blame.

It’s frankly a very silly case that throws around the concept of assisted suicide all too lightly while clearly not understanding the topic very well, not to mention shamelessly using contrived stolen identity tropes ripped straight from a daytime soap opera. But you’ll be a fully fledged member of NXX when you’re done, so it’s worth seeing things through; and you do get some very swoony moments one-on-one while investigating with Marius.
