PS5
The 2024 Alone in the Dark remake uses two protagonists to reveal different sides of Derceto. Its platinum requires both, not merely one story clear. Use the first run to learn the mansion and documents. Do not ignore familiar conversations in the second run: some records and collectibles depend on the character. Keep separate files for Emily, Edward and Chapter Four branches.
Base-game roadmap for PS5. Console trophy stacks remain separate; additional groups do not replace platinum requirements.
- Required difficulty: Easy is allowed; the speedrun and no-healing requirements are separate.
- Missable trophies: Many objectives depend on chapters, character and saves; there is no universal free-roam cleanup.
- Online: The platinum route can be completed offline in single player.
Complete Emily and Edward’s stories
Choose either protagonist first, but plan to finish the other story too. Shared rooms and puzzles do not mean every item or conversation is shared. During the second journey use a character-specific checklist, particularly in Chapter Four, rather than assuming familiar corridors contain nothing new.
- Keep a separate checklist for each protagonist.
Exhaust conversations and collect clues
On each return to Derceto, visit available characters and exhaust their conversations. Read clues and open locks and safes when accessible. Lagniappes, documents and dialogue are separate collections; completing one does not complete the others. Recheck newly accessible areas before leaving a chapter.
- Check people, clues and locks before advancing.
Preserve ending branches
Keep a separate manual save upon entering Chapter Four with each character. Some endings require prepared Lagniappe sets and interactions, so the latest autosave may be insufficient. Preserve branch files during cleanup and check actual unlocks after each ending before loading another route.
- Preserve both protagonists’ branching saves.
Separate exploration, speed and no healing
Teetotaller concerns using the flask; I Don’t Got All Night sets a three-hour limit. Learn the puzzles before attempting a dedicated fast run, and avoid combining it with unfinished collectible research. For the healing restriction, do not use the flask and retain saves before risky sections.
- Track elapsed time and flask use separately.
Clean up actions from appropriate saves
Weapon, fire and environmental kills need suitable enemies and tools. Load the nearest useful file and confirm the required kill type rather than restarting immediately. There have been reports of unlock issues: update the game and preserve working saves, without treating an old report as proof that every current copy is blocked.
- Keep useful saves until every required unlock is confirmed.

Frequently asked questions
Is one protagonist enough?
No. Emily and Edward have exclusive sections and requirements.
Is there free-roam cleanup after the ending?
Do not rely on it; preserve saves before relevant sequences and branches.
Is PS Plus necessary for endings?
No. In-game manual saves support branching preparation; cloud backup is only an additional option.
