PS4 / PS5
BrokenLore: Don't Watch branches after the apartment sequences. Use a run for the eyes, interactions and televisions, then make a dedicated damage-free attempt. The secret ending is an apartment detour: you can hear it before choosing one of the other outcomes.
DON'T WATCH base game with native PS4 and PS5 lists. The checklist uses the PS5 list's names and descriptions. This guide reveals ending choices and does not cover DON'T LIE.
- Difficulty: No listed difficulty setting; Untouchable requires zero damage
- Missables and cleanup: Opposite endings at the red door, plus separate death trophies
- Online: No online trophies
Finish Shinji's interactions before leaving
In the apartment, fit trophy interactions between story events: take a bath, check the PC anomaly and eat pizza when it appears. Once you can stab eyes, search the rooms again before leaving. Home Invasion tracks the indoor eyes; after leaving, log the outside ones separately for Nosy neighbors.
- Track indoor eyes, outside eyes and the balcony escape separately.
Open the hidden passage by the kitchen
The chalk drawings point to an interaction sequence. In Shinji's room, use the speaker, soda cans, guitar, radio, controller and air conditioner in that order. After the last interaction, look beside the kitchen counter for the glitching door. Go through and listen to the dialogue before continuing the story.
- Check The Hidden Truth after listening to the dialogue.
Follow the cables on the television route
In the retro-styled section, leave the red-marked exit alone. Follow the cables outside, unplug one television at a time and work out the route before approaching the next one. The first earns Powerless; Burdenless needs all of them. Then finish the story on that branch.
- Do not go through the red door on the television run.
Take the red exit for the other ending
On a separate run, take the door beneath the red sign instead of following the cables. You return to the apartment without completing the television branch. Continue through the elevator sequence to the ending. If also attempting Untouchable, this skips the televisions but does not guarantee you avoided damage elsewhere.
- Check Unresolved conflict after the red-exit ending.
Separate damage-free play and deliberate deaths
Reserve a clean attempt for Untouchable and use practice runs to learn Hyakume's attacks. For Risk taker, track at least six deaths to that creature; for Game Over, check your console's list. PS4 specifies more than five deaths to Onus; PS5 says «before Onus». Do not assume the Hyakume deaths also count for that requirement. On that run, also try shielding your eyes when Hyakume appears and escape by elevator when the story leads there.
- Keep deliberate deaths out of the damage-free attempt.
Trophies to watch
Burdenless
Unplug all the televisions and free Shinji.
Follow all cables on the route that avoids the red door and check each disconnected television.
Home Invasion
Stab every eye in the apartment.
Once you can stab the eyes, check Shinji's rooms again before leaving the apartment.
The Hidden Truth
Hear the secret ending of the game.
Use the six objects indicated by chalk, then listen through the door by the kitchen.
Untouchable
Finish the game without taking any damage.
Start a clean run; do not rely on checkpoint reloads to erase damage.
Frequently asked questions
Does the secret ending replace the others?
No. You can carry on after the secret dialogue. The television and red-door branches come later.
Can I finish both branches at the same junction?
Not on the same pass. Follow the cables for Burdenless and take the red door for Unresolved conflict. Complete them on separate runs if you lack a usable restore point.
Is staying alive enough for Untouchable?
No. It requires taking no damage. Do the Risk taker and Game Over deaths on a different run.
