Walkthrough
  1. 1
    As the lift door opens, you will unlock Poets of the Fall - The Happy Song (11/14). Go through the studio into the apartment proper.
  2. 2
    In the bathroom, Alan will remark that Alice has turned it into a dark room.
  3. 3
    Return to the entrance and go right. You still can't get into Alan's study, so go to the kitchen.
  4. 4
    Read the emails on the computer; they are the same as the last time you were here.
  5. 5
    Look for a TV screen which plays Alice's Documentary - Part 2-1 (2/7).
  6. 6
    Make your way past Alice's exhibits and go through the door at the end of the room.
  7. 7
    You will find another TV which plays Alice's Documentary - Part 2-2 (3/7).
  8. 8
    Backtrack a little and go down the corridor to find a third TV which plays Alice's Documentary - Part 2-3 (4/7).
  9. 9
    Continue through the door at the end where you will find a bank of TVs playing Alice's Documentary - Part 2-4 (5/7).
  10. 10
    When the documentary finishes, interact with the TVs again and Alan will find himself back in the Writer's Room.
  11. 11
    He finds the manuscript of Return on the desk, a horror story about the Dark Presence taking over Bright Falls.
  12. 12
    He scratches out the name on the title page and vows to edit it and fix it.
  13. 13
    Constrained to work within the framework of the novel, he brings someone into the story to fight the darkness: Saga Anderson.
  14. 14
    Suddenly, a figure bursts through the door and shoots him in the head. As the screen fades to black, you will unlock the Told and Retold trophy.
Tips
  • Pay attention to Alan's commentary in the bathroom for environmental storytelling.
  • The emails in the kitchen offer context but do not advance the immediate objective.
  • Ensure you watch all parts of Alice's Documentary to trigger the next sequence.
  • The final events in the Writer's Room are crucial for the plot and unlock a trophy.
