Hey everyone!

Since you opened this guide, I suppose you're stuck with the archive locations! Hope this guide will help you to find what you need.

It contains many, heavy spoilers. Make sure you'll only check the chapter you're stuck in.

This guide contains the requirements to unlock the chapter and the locations for the notes. If you're in the right room, close to it, Stephanie will give you a voiceline about it.

If this guide needs more details, let me know and I'll adjust it.

I can rework and add everything you need. Just let me know!

You need to pull out the books in the east office in this order.
