To find the evidence in Lucas' office in Life is Strange Double Exposure is easier than it sounds. There's a range of things to search out, but you'll need to have a real good look around to get what you need.
Getting stuck snooping around Lucas' office in the Dead World timeline can be a pain, which is why I'm going to help you speed through this lengthy section and get moving on to the next encounter.
How to find the Maya Okada evidence
Once you've finished talking to Gwen, Yasmin, and Vinh in the Living World of Life is Strange: Double Exposure you'll be pushed into Lucas' office to pry for information about Maya Okada – the student who mysteriously died some years before. This conversation will be different depending on the choices you've made so far, with Lucas' tone heavily informed by the status of your relationship, and whether you chose to send the restraining order photo to Safi in Double Exposure.
Once this conversation is over Max will realize that she needs to snoop through Lucas' office. Head to the nearest Shift point by the cafe to transition over to the Dead World timeline and once you're there, head to Lucas' empty office and enter. There's plenty of things to interact with in here, including one of the Life is Strange Double Exposure polaroid collectibles.
Head over to the bottom draw of the filing cabinet and inspect all of the documents inside. This is where Max will find confirmation that Maya, Vinh, and Safi were all classmates, and that Lucas was their tutor – you'll also discover Lucas paid particularly close attention to Maya, in a scene which echoes some of the unfortunate events in the original game.
If you're struggling to find the key in Lucas' office, you may have encountered a bug we had in our Life is Strange: Double Exposure review. To fix this, you'll need to try reloading from the last save.
Now inspect the photograph on Lucas' desk and rotate the frame until you find a key taped to the bottom of it. With this you'll able to interact with a couple of other areas of the office, but what you're looking for is that golden typewriter. Use the key to unlock the tray and you'll uncover a hidden manuscript, revealing that Lucas plagiarized and profited off of his young student's work.
With this information you'll now need to take a snapshot of the two manuscripts side-by-side. Once you've completed this, Double Exposure will shift forward into a confrontation between Max and Safi, and there's nothing you can say here that will ease her frustration about Max spreading gossip all around campus regarding Safi's book deal falling through.
