Achievements Guide

• Patience is Key: Encourage your readers to enjoy the story naturally on their first run. The game features a 'Collectible Mode' and scene selection, making it easy to return for missed items later.
  
• Keep the Camcorder Handy: Swann’s camera is the central mechanic. Players should constantly scan their environment to catalogue subjects for their Memoirs.
