There are a total of 33 Notes to collect throughout the game, all of which contain shards of information that allow players to gradually piece together more about the backstory of the protagonist’s family. Collecting all 33 Notes will award players with the “Household portrait” achievement.
Note: Because it is impossible to backtrack to earlier Chapters in the game, it is imperative that players collect all 33 Notes in a single playthrough if they wish to unlock the achievement.
