- Thorough Exploration is Key: For trophies like 'Letters to Katie' and 'Meow Meow Meow', you'll need to meticulously search every nook and cranny of the house. Don't just skim; open drawers, check under things, and look behind objects.
- Speedrunning Challenges: 'Homerunner' and 'Speedreader' are all about efficiency. If you're going for these, I highly recommend playing through the game once normally to get your bearings, then attempting these runs. Knowing the layout and key item locations is crucial. Remember, these specific speedrun trophies require starting from a New Game in a single session.
- Commentary Nodes: To get 'Behind the Scenes', make sure you've enabled the Developer Commentary Modifier in the game's options. Then, just interact with every glowing orb you find scattered throughout the house.
- Secret Trophies: The 'secret' trophies often involve interacting with specific objects in a particular way or at a certain time. 'Intuitive' means trying to guess the safe combination without finding the note, and 'This Old House' involves a hidden bookshelf. 'Wet Bandit' is exactly what it sounds like – find all the sinks and turn them on!
- Christmas Duck: For 'Nesting Instinct', keep an eye out for a specific Christmas decoration. You'll need to figure out where it belongs.
Most of the trophies are tied to simply experiencing the game and paying attention to the details. The speedrun ones are the main challenge, but totally doable with a bit of practice!
