Personal Documents
INTRO FOR COLLECTIBLES:
Here you can find a list of all the game's collectables. These items are all in the guide of course, but if you find yourself at the end of the game and are missing something, this is the best place to look. Note that you can always look in your archive section when the game is paused to easily see if you are missing any collectables and which ones.
The game has a wide variety of collectables. In total there are: 16 Documents, 16 Personal Documents, 21 Newspapers, 15 Missing Persons Posters, 28 Map Fragments, and 10 Audio Logs.
Down below we'll list out each type of collectable by type and where you can
find each of them. Enjoy!
We'll list all of the personal documents here. Note that this section is divided up by chapter and then by document number, so you can easily find that one personal document you missed!
