Learn the essentials of first-person exploration before heading deeper into St. Amelia. Start with difficulty settings, threat detection, and careful movement rather than treating every encounter as a fight.

    Choose a suitable difficulty preset; the PS5 accessibility listing confirms adjustable difficulty and simplified quick-time events.

    Raise and tune the CRTV to help identify nearby threats before moving into an unfamiliar area.

  3. 3

    Use cover and peeking to assess enemies, then choose whether to evade, distract, or fight.

  • Signal Tuning

    The CRTV receives unstable analog signals carrying nearby threats, story fragments, and clues.

    Turning corners or moving behind cover can break an enemy's line of sight and help Simon escape.

  • Hiding Places

    Cabinets, closets, and lockers offer concealment, but enemies can pull Simon out if they see him enter.
