Collectibles Checklist

Spoiler warning: rooms and object names below assume a mid-to-late retail run. For spoiler-light hunting habits stay on Achievements & Collectibles. There are eight figurines, four audio cassettes, and three VHS tapes. Missed a figurine? All eight remain reachable from the final save—reload that file and backtrack instead of starting a new descent. Patch 1.23.2 enlarged cassette colliders; update before you blame a tight corner—Patch 1.23.2.

The mid-article longplay shows every pickup in context. Pause when you enter a named room and compare to the tables.

Figurines (All Collectibles)

The eight pieces form a nativity set. Collecting all of them unlocks All Collectibles.

FigurineLocation
MuleControl room, on the console beside the intercom cables and VHS recorder/mainframe
FatherEntrance room, tucked into the nativity display of old books and wooden blocks
MotherBathroom shelf beside Maria’s log file
CamelsBeige locker behind the regulator machinery in the basement power room
GoatMine tunnel, rock piles beside the rails and bulk bags before the stairs and wall gap
KingsOn the red wooden rocking-horse seat after you return from the flooded cavern and large fan
Second SonAfter the later bathroom breach, first bathroom on the left, sink bank on the right
First SonChair at the second platform beyond the randomized-code basement door, after A letter

Audio cassettes (All Audio Cassettes)

Collecting all four unlocks All Audio Cassettes. Lullaby holds the father / sickness / prayer / ruler clues for the Obelisk Puzzle. Processing habit: Cassettes & Lore.

CassetteLocation
Woman in the bathLast locked bathroom stall; obey “look down,” take the tape from beneath the door
The help callAfter the bifurcation, return when the thudding starts; puddle beneath the dripping blood
The Hull situtationElevator wall after the empty car descends and lights return. The misspelling is in-game
LullabySmall table in the hidden room opened by the later bathroom encounter, beside Marías’ song

VHS tapes (All VHS Tapes)

Collecting all three unlocks All VHS Tapes. 1.23.1 made the player auto-off when you walk out of range—Patch 1.23.1. 1.23.5 restored a missing symbol in the symbols video.

TapeLocation
MiningDuring the altered elevator event, blood-smeared taped glass; nearly vertical tape
ExperimentsAfter the elevator reopens, blood trail to the large white table in the entrance room, beside the gore
SymbolsFarthest platform beyond the randomized-code basement door; pickup triggers a blackout

Documents that are actually puzzle keys

These do not have their own Steam achievement, but several are the solutions.

DocumentWhere and why
Operator Duties DocumentClipboard beside the large intercom
Dimitri’s noteBeside the radar; radar draws 7%
Technical diagram of personal light and communicatorBehind the medical station; universal 5% + 5%

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers for operators on active Steam shifts.

Can I finish figurines from the last save?

Yes. All eight remain reachable from the final save. Reload and backtrack instead of starting over.

Is “The Hull situtation” a wiki typo?

No. That is the in-game cassette title.

Do documents unlock an achievement?

No separate trophy. Several documents are required to solve the regulator and obelisk honestly.

Cassettes will not pick up in a corner. What now?

Update to 1.23.2 or later — the interaction collider was enlarged. See [Patch 1.23.2](/updates/patch-1-23-2/).
