What counts toward the 85 Discoveries?

Discoveries are the Clues and Documents you pick up and read. PowerPyx's all-endings guide counts 85 of them, and each one adds +1 to the hidden ending score, so a full set is worth +85 on its own. Postcards, CRTV signals, phone numbers and Resource Containers have their own trophies and do not add to the score.

  • Use the ending score calculator to see how many Simon kills your Discovery count can absorb.
  • There is no chapter select, so pick up documents as you go; dial 100 on a phone to keep a manual save before each Part.
Discovery checklist by milestone

What did Patch 1.4.0 fix?

KONAMI released Patch 1.4.0 on October 8, 2026, after Patch 1.3.1 on September 30 reduced shader-compilation stutter. After 1.4.0 the PC main menu shows v1.5.154194.

  • The Weight: on Story Mode and Normal its grab deals heavy damage instead of killing outright, and it no longer camps your objective or keeps searching one spot.
  • Enemies react less to running, gunfire and entering a hiding space, and counterattack less after a melee hit.
  • Remote Systems Control (Part 6): the console's instructions became a manual you can read while using the panel. The Aux Line pipe layout was redrawn.
  • A progress blocker in Part 5 was fixed.
  • PC: better frame pacing, less streaming stutter, Letterbox restored on ultrawide monitors and missing AZERTY bindings added.

How many trophies are there, and how hard is the platinum?

The PS5 list has 37 trophies: 1 Platinum, 5 Gold, 9 Silver and 22 Bronze. Steam lists 36 achievements, the same set without the Platinum. PowerPyx’s guide of September 21, 2026 rates the platinum 4 out of 10 for difficulty, estimates 15 to 25 hours and names the speedrun trophy Fleeting Visit as the hardest.

  • Difficulty does not matter: PowerPyx earned everything on Story Mode with puzzles set to Hinted.
  • Collectible, combat and stealth progress carries over between playthroughs.
  • There is no chapter select. Manual saves are made by dialling 100 on a phone; there are 20 manual slots and one autosave.

What is the fastest platinum route?

PowerPyx’s roadmap has four steps. In the speedrun, the timer is shown through Game Options, Show Time Played.

  • First run, about 8 hours: collect everything and kill every enemy for the Abandoned ending.
  • New Game Plus, about 3 hours: kill as few enemies as possible, collect every Clue and Document again for Justice, finish in under 4 hours and set up the Dog and Sci-fi endings.
  • Reload saves, about 2 hours: Dog, Sci-fi and Forever.
  • Optional third run, about 2 hours: the speedrun and no-manual-save trophies if you still need them.
