Quick Answer
How the Collectible System Works
The official Steam description emphasizes uncovering a dark mystery inside the abandoned hospital. In practice, this means the game likely scatters documents, notes, and key items throughout the environment. Collecting them fills in the backstory and may be required for the best ending or specific achievements.
Expected Collectible Types
- Lore documents: Notes, logs, and records that explain what happened in the hospital and underground facilities.
- Key items: Objects required to unlock doors, solve puzzles, or progress the story.
- Supplies: Batteries, healing items, or other consumables that help survival.
- Achievement triggers: Special actions, hidden objects, or optional rooms tied to Steam achievements.

Missable Items
Some collectibles are likely missable. Story events can lock areas, and ending-determining choices may prevent backtracking. The safest approach is to explore each chapter thoroughly before moving to a point of no return, and to keep multiple manual save files.
Collectible Hunting Tips
- Read everything: Documents often contain puzzle hints as well as lore.
- Check side rooms: Main paths rarely hold every collectible.
- Use the body camera deliberately: Small notes can be easy to miss at the wrong angle.
- Save before point-of-no-return moments: This protects achievement and ending hunting.
- Backtrack when safe: New tools or restored power may open previously locked areas.
