Chloe's Journal is more than just a menu; it's a window into her mind and a crucial tool for understanding the narrative. Accessible via Tab (PC) or Y/Triangle (Console), the journal updates constantly with Chloe's thoughts, observations, and sketches. It provides valuable context for the story, character relationships, and the choices you've made. Regularly checking your journal can offer insights into Chloe's emotional state and help you make more informed decisions.
Beyond personal reflections, the journal also tracks 'Graffiti' opportunities, which are the game's primary collectible. Throughout each episode, Chloe can find specific spots to tag with graffiti. These are often hidden or require a bit of exploration to discover. Successfully completing a graffiti tag adds it to your journal and contributes to achievements/trophies. There are multiple graffiti locations in each episode, and finding them all requires keen observation and sometimes a bit of puzzle-solving. The journal will indicate how many graffiti opportunities are available in a given area and how many you've found, making it easier to track your progress.
