1.3) After completing the shooting tutorial, check the left side tunnel before entering the right side tunnel. There is a postcard towards the end of the left tunnel.
2.2) Once you find your way into the radiation area, a postcard can be found in this grey cabinet
2.3) You will need to progress a bit further by turning the red valve door. Instead, continue forward into the dark alley. It’s around the corner to the left.
Towards the end of the chapter you will find your first stealth area. For the trophy called “Hippocratic Oath” you must complete these sections without being spotted and getting a single kill.
3.2 Just after the section where you find your first grenade. Walk down the stairs and walk behind it. It’s on the wooden table.
The code for the door is 010011 or: Off, On, Off, Off, On, On as seen in the screenshot “Code”.
3.3 After the stealth section you’ll come across a well-lit table. On the table is your next postcard.
4.1 Once you escape the prison, you could shoot this door upon getting a Gun. You will come back here after grabbing your bag and postcard 3.2, so you may save it for later.
4.2 Inside a vent with mushrooms, you will go there after grabbing your backpack. Once outside the vent, you could circle back to 4.1
4.3 During the second stealth area. There is a campfire with 1/2 enemies standing near it. On the couch is your final postcard of this chapter.
5.2 You’ll walk up some stairs, with blue doors on both sides. Take the left door and you will find a skeleton. Near him is the postcard.

6.3 Inside the labyrinth. You will enter a little cosy living room. Check the bookshelf on the right side for a postcard.
You will also be able to earn the trophy “Spring Cleaning” during this section. you must burn all blocking cobwebs in the labyrinth on your first visit. A lighter can be found on the right side of your backpack. In order to solve the maze, you will need to listen to the sounds. Follow the voices/singing through the pipes and you will find an exit eventually. You will visit the same sections multiple times, as your character loses his mind.
7.2 A bit further you will enter your old “town” where a conversation will occur with 2 other people. Check behind them on the wall.
7.3 Towards the end of the chapter you will go into a wooden house again. Check on your right side inside a bedroom. It’s on a checkers board next to the bed.
Chapter 8 is short and has no postcards. However, you’ll need to grab a picture from the bonfire for the “Not Just Déjà Vu” trophy. Grab the picture and hold onto it until you reach the next cutscene.
9.2 This section is packed with enemies. Advised to grab the postcard from the board and rush towards the ladder.
