Stage 1: Play the Game on Your Own
It would be a shame if you just use this guide to burn through the game to add a platinum trophy to your growing list.Yes this game is an easy platinum, but it shouldn't be thought of as some of those cheap throwaway platinum games most of us are guilty of playing because we wanted one more platinum trophy to pad our list. If you enjoy story and character driven games, then you'll love this investigative narrative driven game.
After you've played this game and finished it come back to this guide and we'll do a very quick and easy trophy clean up and get you the platinum trophy without ruining the experience.... Or if you want to just "get another platinum" skip down to Stage 2 and we'll burn through the game.
Stage 2: Speedrun to Platinum / Work Our Way to Full Upload
Let's get to work. We're going to burn through this list as fast as possible.If you "play" this fast enough it should be possible to get this platinum trophy in 3 hours once you're familiar with the controls. The majority of the trophies and time spent playing come from searching and viewing videos.
You only need to watch one second of a video for it to be counted as viewed and get the video marked with the viewed icon. This will also speed up time in the upper-right hand corner and progress through the "chapters" of the game. You start at 12:00 AM and end at 5:30 AM. You can continue to play once you've reached 5:30 AM. The game ends and credits roll when you chose to upload the files. After the credits you can click "continue" and pick up where you were before you uploaded your found files if you missed videos and trophies.
A few minutes after each hour you will lose control and watch a brief scene of Karen check her phone, talk to someone, and then get back to searching for videos. This is when the "Make it past #am" trophies will pop. At one point later in the game a cutscene will happen when you'll lose control and her pet cat will jump on the keyboard and type random letters. Search whatever the cat types for the Animal Logic trophy. This is the only missable trophy in the game. If you don't search for whatever the cat types out you'll have to replay the game again.

Stage 3: Clean Up Trophies and the Platinum Trophy
These trophies can be done at any point in the game. It doesn't matter if you continue your current game after beating it, or start a new game. It's also very possible you've unlocked a few of these trophies just naturally playing the game or even using the guide and searching keywords found in the videos.The only trophy out of this list that will take time is beating Solitaire. For those unfamiliar with the game, this version of Solitaire is set to easy mode and you draw one card at a time with unlimited redraws each game. So hopefully it doesn't take you too many times to beat it. You only have to beat Solitaire once.

Tips & Strategies
For this guide we'll be looking at how to earn all of the trophies as quick as possible.
To progress through the story you'll need to watch videos. Again, you only need to watch one second of each video for viewing credit. After watching a video time will pass depending on the length of the video. You start at 12:00am and go to 5:30am. A new "chapter" starts a couple minutes after every hour signaled by a cutscene and trophy popping. Time moves forward when you have finished watching a video and backed out of it to the video selection screen in the Search tab. See the trophy Full Upload for the list of keywords to use for searches. Rapid fire searches and watching the videos for a second each is key to getting the trophies as fast as you can if you want to rush things.

This trophy is earned for beating the game.
Around 5:30 AM you will lose control and watch Karen start a program called Jane the Ripper. This is the "point of no return" in this game and when you click upload you will beat the game. You do have the option to ignore this until you're finished searching for more videos.
Once you click the upload button on the Jane the Ripper program, you'll lose control of the game and watch some cutscenes with credits in between them. This trophy should pop after watching Karen walk up to the roof of her apartment building.
After watching the credits you are taken back to the main menu. You can click on "continue" to search for any missing videos you haven't seen to work on Full Upload or any of your missed trophies. You do not have to start a new game to get any of your remaining trophies.

Full Upload Uploaded the entire data set |

To earn this trophy you will need to have seen all of the videos available in the game and then upload them using the Jane the Ripper program once you get access to it around 5:30 AM. There are 169 videos to view and you get the 170th video once you upload the files.
You can view all videos in one play through before beating the game. If you beat the game and upload without all 170 videos you can click on "continue" in the main menu and pick up where you left off before uploading.
An example scenario is finishing the game with 109 videos viewed. After the credits you could continue your game, now at 110, watch the remaining 60 videos, and upload them all again to get the trophy using the same game file. There should be no need to start another playthrough.
The easiest way to watch all 170 videos is to search by keyword. You only need to watch a second of each video for it to count as viewed and you get the eye icon for the video. It is the biggest grind of the trophies but it can go by quick depending on how fast you can search/type. Major keywords found in dialogue are names, places, code names, companies, holidays, titles, etc. Sometimes words that stand out or unique phrases are good words to search by. You will sometimes have to manually type in searches if they have two words like "Green Storm" as the dialogue search method only highlights one word at a time.
Here is a list of keywords to get all of the videos (capitalization does not matter):
- Accountant, agent, Alba, Anesthesiologists, A-squared (with the hyphen), a$$hole (uncensored), aurora, Ava, baby, baddie, bad guy, barbecue, bark, Bellevue, berries, Black Kite, Boat, Boo, books, bridge.
- California, clean, Daniel, daughter, Davey, David, dentist, DWP, Emma, end, Eric, Fever, Fireworks, f*_k (uncensored), f*_king (uncensored), Glowy, Green Storm, gun, Halloween, Harry, Isabella, Jane, Jane Dean, Jones.
- Karen, kink, kinky, Knight Eighty One, Laura, Little Mermaid, love (already searched for you at the beginning) Mary, Max, Maxie, Maxine, medicine, Melissa, michelle, Mike, Miller, mission, momma, organizing group, Papa, Paul, Peter, pipeline, Pookie, pregnant, Prosperen.
- Rally, real name, rebels, record, Riordan, secret, she's my, sh!t (uncensored), Simon, shot, Smith, Snow White, spell, Star, Steven, tennis, terrorist, Valentine, water is life.
Pointless Game It's the taking part that counts |
|
|
While playing Solitaire on Karen's computer keep pressing the circular arrows button in the bottom right to start a new game. Click on "Deal Again." Repeat this until the trophy pops.
Animal Logic Cats can't type |
|
|
Later in the game a cutscene will occur with Karen's cat walking across her keyboard. You'll lose control and watch as random letters and numbers are entered into the Search bar. Karen will then take her cat away and when she comes back to the computer you'll regain control. Hit the Search button to search for what the cat typed in and the trophy will pop.
You will not get the trophy if you don't search for what the cat types. So be careful not to delete or change what's in the Search bar.

Organizer You like tagging things |
|
|
To tag a video go to your Bookmarks section. On the right side of each video is an empty box. Move your cursor over to the box and click it to check mark it. Go up to the Tag icon and click it to create a Tag. Name it whatever you want, I used single letters each time to speed up the process. Do this to a video one at a time and create new tags until the trophy pops. It should pop after your 5th Tag category.

When watching a video press any button on the d-pad ( ) during dialogue. Highlight a word and press . Press a second time to search for that word and pull up more videos with that word found in them. Repeat this process multiple times to pop the trophy.
Missing King The game is rigged |
|
|
To earn this trophy you must "win" a game of Solitaire. The only thing is one of the Kings is missing. This isn't necessarily a grind, but it could take some time depending on how new to Solitaire you are. Thankfully this is the easy version of it where you draw one card at a time and can redraw as many times as you want.
It actually appears that the missing King's suit is random. You may be playing with a deck of two black Kings and one red King, or two red Kings and one black King. This may or may not change with each game you play. When you're aware of which King is missing you'll want to plan ahead based on which spaces are open and which Kings you'll be using.
You will get the trophy when all of the cards are stacked up excluding the missing King.
