Chapter Objective
Start with the safe goal before looking at cleanup or achievement notes.
Chapter 7
Polaroids
Treat photo placement as a puzzle of meaning, not just an interface task.
Step-By-Step Route
This route is written for a first playthrough: useful, cautious, and light on late-story spoilers.
Clear optional prompts
If the scene asks you to arrange or review images, compare subjects, colors, and emotional order. Narrative games often use photo walls to confirm what the player noticed earlier.
Advance only after the final sweep
Before leaving, check whether dialogue has changed, whether an object can be inspected twice, and whether the chapter seems to be asking for a clean performance.
Achievement And Cleanup Notes
The safest strategy is to track likely missables without claiming unverified hidden flags.
What to watch
Use this chapter to check whether missed photos or wall interactions affect completion.
Light to moderate. It discusses the role of photos without ending details.
Use this page during a first run if you want route confidence without reading ending explanations.
Log the cue
If a song stands out, write down the scene and compare it later with the full songs list and songs-by-chapter page.
