So, I reloaded chapters 5 & 6 to experiment. Didn't want to do that if it was not necessary.Įdit- wildwest08 points out that you need to understand you may have to change your actions,i.e.- read different notes, or otherwise 'tinker' with actions to get your desired ending. In order to follow the guides "exactly" I would need to start a new game. My game had missing items that were available in some guides. That is: I went different places and had different experiences from any video/written guides available. As I reloaded the saves to gather missed items, I realized I was changing the outcomes and the pathing. I used the TA walkthrough guide (thanks Yazite, Beth Bear & SpiralGamerPro for your excellent work) to collect items and earned the 'selfish ending' first. Potential Spoilers below: Please play this game through x1 on your own so you will understand the tips and experience the immersion.

Due to some confusion I experienced, here are some tips to complete this game in one play through with chapter replay only for extra endings and missed items. I just earned the final three achievements for completion.

#Layers of fear self portrait code#
Ending sequence, note in child's room area on floor secret safe code (hard to decipher what the actual code is on the vid but starting at 0 if you move the dial counterclockwise from 10 to 20 to 30 to 40, then from 40 go clockwise to 30, then to 20 and the safe should open) then go to stairs and watch them collapse light tri candles with little floating house next to it in checkers room Chapter 6: Die in yellow hallway, "each mistake a pitfall" death (very easy to miss, after you drop down door on the floor, look straight ahead at the only exit while walking backwards) jump into picture pit without pulling up pictures bed on fire room and bandages necklace on windowsill, walk into area next to it, then walk into wife's room then look at everything in room push wheelchair as far as it goes knife in bathroom Chapter 5: Die in flashing lights wife hallway with item on floor next to candle (do not pick up item) "don't look back" jump scare death pull chain three times fold up mirror on windowsill, go in other blood pool room right after go into room with wife in floor right after that, exit and then go back inside to get that death phone numbers in order, 363, 853, 354 Chapter 4: note on floor from fire horse room birthday hat on teddy bear kids shoes in bow room break mirror in vanity mirror room (open two drawers) checkers puzzle (beating heart) out of apples note in top right drawer under the beating heart on wall feed fake cat with fruit on same table walk under chairs death open cupboard in floating crayon room doll hallway near the end look through window on the right at carousel outside pick up perfume on windowsill look at creepy kid's picture in pool of blood door/room right after perfume kid's room interact with jack in the box and picture in same dresser Chapter 3: room that appears behind you after looking at it through a window has a calendar in the left top drawer, turn on lamp in next room library room turn on lamp in the corner next to small table with tobacco pipe on it and push ladder to get key and unlock upstairs door basement staircase turn on light Chapter 2: piano notes in room right across from small room with key scary baby chest by creepy window violin in closet in vinyl room Chapter 1: hairbrush on windowsill to the right (early on in chapter, sort of easy to miss) Prologue: run straight upstairs, grab key, back downstairs to unlock the studio Wife and Child Ending in more detail!!!!! During the child chapter, approach the child in the red hall rather than back away Ignore rats and paintings as much as possible Approach your wife at EVERY encounter and "embrace" her Throughout the game you should ignore anything relating to your selfish past (except story objects of course) Wife and child ending (family/regretful ending): This is confirmed to be the neutral (loop) ending and is achieved for gaining a neutral number of points in relation to the other two endings. Possibly achieved for going below the neutral ending. Interacting with only story related items OR items relating to your selfish personality (crooked glasses is an example) Ignoring your family and focusing on your paintings. This is achieved for essentially being selfish throughout the game.
