Would You?


I've been playing this game, Snatcher, on the Sega CD recently and I've come to a standstill in its progress. I'm supposed to use a computer mainframe program to match a description based on evidence. I was given a horrible description and even worse choices to choose from. I've been trying for the last 30 minutes to create the correct face, but it's not working. It's not telling me how close I am or how many need to be fixed. There are 5 facial features and 6 choices to choose from, that's about 582 possibilities to choose from. I generally dislike using strategy guides for things like this, but there's either something off here or I'm just oblivious. What would you do?

Genius...if you're a great detective, then what is it?

doCrIrb

Face: Bony

Eyes: Piercing and Threatening Gaze

Nose: Pointy

Mouth: Thin Lips

Hair: Naturally flowing from the back, pronounced widow's peak
Face 5 is kinda bony
Eyes 6 are evil
Nose 1 is the only one remotely pointy, but they're all questionable
Mouth 2 is the thinnest, but it could be 3
Hair 2 is long with a widows peak

+Edit, I checked the walkthrough after the fact - turns out I'm 4/5 correct

Yeah I play games to have fun, so I get stuck long enough to not be enjoying my time I will look up the solution

I try to look for hints/make sure it's not an error in the game.
Don't want to have a good puzzle spoiled. But also don't want to waster hours on nonsense/an error.
I looked this one up for you.
user Okarin is almost correct. I'd have picked the same: 5 6 1 2 2
3/5 are correct
Protip: the game wants the 2nd most bony and the 2nd most thin lips.

This puzzle isn't very good (it's fun, but the descriptions are pretty bad) so nothing is lost by looking it up.
The game looks fun btw!

If I knew 2nd most then I would have been right

I use a walkthrough once I'm no longer having fun. Depending on the game or specific challenge, that could be very quickly or be after many, MANY attempts. Really, the fun factor is the only one to consider.

I don't need to read the scenario to answer yes. I generally use guides.

Pretty much. So long as using a guide doesn't take the fun out of the game for you, use it to your heart's content.
This is my signature. It exists to keep people from skipping the last line of my posts.

Didn't need a guide the first time, don't need one now. It's been a while but everything you need to know is at outer heaven.
Mod me? You don't even know me!
Start with the most likely face options and work down to the least likely. And unless there's really long load times, 582 isn't even that big a pool if you use sheer brute force.
