The Bookwalker: Thief of Tales

Easily obtained in book one. During some choices in the game, there will be a symbol to left, indicating that an item is needed to complete the action. The choice itself is usually worded as "use X on Y". As long as you always wait until you have the appropriate item, you will easily get this. You get the lockpick as part of a tutorial, a helmet that's only used once in the starting cell, a sledgehammer by finding the cracked wall in one of the cells across from the starting cell, and both the crowbar and pliers, which are only used once, are crafted at a workbench.
