Episode 1: Number One Fan

Attend to Your Customers: Start at Nite's Diner. Grab the coffee pot and serve customers. Collect dirty plates. Return plates to the service window. Speak to the man by the juke box for a book recommendation.

Gather Your Accessories: Go to the back corridor, through the "employees only" door, and into the storeroom. Collect the hunting rifle, shotgun, 40 rifle rounds, 60 shotgun shells, two Leaky Propane Tanks, and four Get Up and Go Pills. This unlocks the Accessorize! trophy.

Head to the Boatyard: Leave the diner and go through the gate. Confront the Writer's twin brother. After he leaves, deal with waves of his followers (Haters). Shoot the gas canister near the axe thrower to kill him and potentially other enemies. Be aware of explosive canisters throughout the area.

Follow the Bad Boy's Trail: Go through the hole in the fence. Follow the flaming trails. Grab supplies from emergency cabinets. Take out the axe thrower on the platform near the bridge. Clear out Haters by the hut. Continue along the path, fighting enemies. At a fork, take the left path. At another fork, take the right path to find a shrine to the Writer. Read all three pages to find a message from the Writer.

Reach the Cabin: Return to the main path and follow it to a cabin. Ignore the suspicious motorbike and go inside. The Writer speaks, but it's a trap. Grab supplies downstairs. Go upstairs to find the twin gone. Read the note about his plans and poetry.

Confront the Twin: Leave the cabin and head to the beach. Confront the twin. He reveals he was stalling for time. Kill enemies emerging from the water and coming down the path. Follow the flaming tracks back along the path.

Ascend to the Mansion: As enemies stop coming, approach the stairs for a cutscene where a deer speaks in the Writer's voice. This unlocks the “I Could Listen to Him All Day” trophy. Follow the twin's trail up a steep slope to the mansion grounds.

Defeat the Bad Boy: The Bad Boy attacks with a force wave and exploding hearts. Evade the wave and shoot the hearts before they reach you. Use the shotgun to attack the Bad Boy when opportunities arise. Keep healing with ↑ and R2.
