This is my second guide, and I am new, so please be patient with grammatical errors, and unclear solutions.This particular game is fairly easy, but getting every single item is a pain. So, I'm writing this guide! Here we go..
Heres just some beginner tips.
Using the shovel on piles of dirt may produce an item. Every "area worth searching" Gives you an obsidian orb.
Now, for the walkthrough!
Use your camera for photos. Take a picture of the orb floating on your screen. Find all 3 gravestones, and take pictures of each. If you look at one of the trees on the other side of the bridge, it will have a carving on it. Take a picture of that, too. Look for foot prints. When you see them, take a picture. Pick up the shovel and crowbar. If you were paying attention, there was a number on a grave. 1907. Use that number on the lock (on the bridge) and continue forward. Look for the cabin, talk to the old man, and check your inventory. The story begins.
In the cabin, go upstairs. Pick up the oil lamp and diary, and look at the scratch marks on the wall. They form a number. The number? 5375. Now go down stairs, and use that number on the trap door in the floor. Go down.
Once down, take a picture of the orb, and pick up the obsidian orb on the ground. Pick up 2 oil lamps, 1 diary, and a bottle of wine. Talk to the doll for a good scare. (Pull its string multiple times with your volume up!)
REMEMBER TO READ THE DIARIES OR THE NEXT EVENTS WILL NOT MAKE SENSE
Take a photo of another orb, another grave, and.. A mysterious ankou. The ankou looks like the grim reaper, at least to me. Pick up a poppy (Red flower) and another oil lamp. Use your metal detector on the "Area worth searching" for an obsidian orb. Dig up 2 piles of dirt with your shovel.
Go out to the woodshed, and take a picture of an orb, 3 graves, and.. the Ankou is back! (Take a picture of him/it, of course.) Use your metal detector again, for another obsidian orb. Dig up 3 piles of dirt with your shovel,and pick up these items: 1 firewood 2 poppies 1 skull and 1 oil lamp.
NOW, find the tool shed. Take a photo an orb, a grave stone, and another Ankou! Find a cave and crowbar the box. (There is a glitch where you will not be able to do this I think you need to restart the game if this happens.) Now pick up the scythe, 2 poppies, and the (Haunted?) hat. Use your metal detector on another area, for another obsidian orb.
Make your way to the campsite. Take a photo of another ankou and orb. Dig up 3 piles of dirt too. Theres another area worth searching, so metal detect that. Search for a poppy, 3 skulls, 3 oil lamps, and 2 new diaries!
Now trudge to the look out point. Take a photo of an orb. Theres another area worth searching. Find the hidden cave, and use your shovel on the four piles of dirt. Pick up 1 poppy, 2 skulls, and the diamond ring.
Head back to the cabin, and into the area where there are cliffs and caves. (Behind the Cabin) Theres another orb and ankou, so make sure to get pictures of both! There are 3 caves here (Not hidden, so should be fairly easy to catch...) Use your shovel on the four piles of dirt laying around. Pick up 1 poppy, and 2 skulls. Then there is a door with shapes on it. Below it, there is a pentagram. Insert all your obsidian orbs in the pentagram, and claim your obsidian sword. (I think there is some secret order for the orbs to go in.)
Go BACK to the cabin. Open up the fireplace, and put your firewood in it. Light it with your lighter. Talk to the old man, and take a photo of him. Enjoy the ending!
I hope you enjoyed my second guide. Please comment on it!
Actually, the order you place the obsidian orbs is right on the door!The shapes formed!you must go to the pentagram and put the obsidian orbs in the pentagram just like the"endings"of the upper upper shape in the door. The door will open a while getting the second shape to the upper spot.Repeat it for all the shapes and open the door.When you enter you find a table with ceremony items,2 scythes and the word ANKOU written with blood probably on the wall.Then you take the obsidian blade and leave!
