**Little Hope Police Department** is a location in *The Dark Pictures Anthology*'s second installment, *Little Hope.*

## Description

Police station is located in the center of the town, near the bridge and stands opposite the general store. There is a map at the main entrance, which shows the main locations of Little Hope (unlike other maps, this one does not have attractions). The windows in the building are covered with blinds, which makes it very dark in the station.

The entrance leads to the reception, which is followed by a huge corridor where drawers, papers and debris are scattered everywhere. It connects many offices, some of which are open and available for research. At the end of the corridor there are two passages: the left one leads to the kitchen and the right one leads to the dressing room, from where you can get to the prison cells.

## *Little Hope*

### 1972

Anthony was taken to the police station after a fire in his house as the prime suspect. The evidence was the testimony of a passer-by who saw a matchbox in his hands. While Anthony was in prison, he carved an inscription on the wall that he had lost everything, and also made a doll. When it was revealed that Megan's doll was the real cause of the fire, Anthony was released.

### 2019

The first to enter the police station are the group that remains on the main road (Andrew, John and possibly Angela), who arrive there along the trail. They sneak in through the kitchen window and search the station for a phone. Soon the group finds him, but the phone is inoperative due to the lack of a cable. While searching the station for a cable, the phone suddenly starts ringing and Andrew/John picks it up. On the phone, they hear Amy's voice defending herself in court, after which a noise begins.

When Andrew/John hangs up, Amy herself appears and takes the group back into the past. They become witnesses to her trial and execution due to Mary's simulated seizure. The group also sees John, Daniel and Taylor's doubles - Joseph, David and Tabitha.

In the present, the protagonists begin to discuss what happened, but they are interrupted by knocks on the door. This turns out to be the second group that decided to go to school (Daniel, Taylor and possibly Angela), who decided to go to the police station after researching the general store. Both groups reunite and discuss what they need to know about Amy's fate. Angela offers to go further, as they have already checked other ways, after which the group leaves the police station.

## Trivia

* A plaque on the wall indicates the building used to imprison accused witches.

**Noises** is the tenth chapter of Act 1 in *The Devil in Me* and the eleventh overall.

The player controls Erin as she returns to her room and hears strange noises from outside.

## *Erin's Bedroom, 9:04 P.M.*

Erin enters her room.

* If Dinner ended negatively, she is in the midst of an asthma attack and will have the option to use her inhaler. If she does not, she relaxes on her bed until it ends.
* If Dinner ended positively or neutrally, she begins looking through her bag.

She then hears crying from the hallway and grabs her microphone, putting on her headphones. While exploring the corridors she can find the Anxiety Book, a picture, and a painting of Holmes' execution playing audio of his confession. After approaching the painting and then walking away, the walls in the corridors will move so that Erin cannot go back to her room and can instead go further into the hotel. She hears more sounds coming from the locked rooms, including recordings of Kate and Mark talking and a man arguing with his wife. After going down some new hallways, the lights go out, and sounds of previous guests being killed mixed with classical music begin to play. More walls close behind Erin until she reaches a short hallway leading into a lit room wherein a looped sound of crying can be heard.

Erin sings her "Don't Be Scared Song" quietly to herself as she approaches the room and finds an audio player on the wall. She can inspect it and either turn it off or back away. Regardless of what she does, it turns off and a mannequin of H.H. Holmes comes down from the ceiling with a noose around its neck. Erin screams and the door closes behind her. She tries and fails to open it, then yells for help.

## Overview

Cargo Hold 1 is one of the many cargo holds aboard the Ourang Medan which is sunken after the meteorological conditions of the last 72 years. The broken roof can be slightly seen, which would explain that rainwater could enter and sink the whole room.

The couple Julia and Alex stumbled upon this hold as they looked for the former's brother. While on the bridge, Olson plunged the couple into the water below with a sledgehammer.

As they move forward on the bridge, Olson smashes it with his sledgehammer, destroying the bridge and plunging the couple into the water below. After falling into the water, they are found by Danny with the intention to rescue them. However, since Alex is hallucinating, he mistakes Danny as a threat and starts drowning him, to which Julia may ask him to stop or encourage him. Alex can end up successfully drown Danny (although he is revealed to still be alive) or spare him, whom he later swims away. Leaving from the water, Alex and Julia calm down and breath before they see Danny washed upon and Olson climbing out of the water.

## Know the Ropes

* Overview
* Frame

## Basic Information

### Found by

Brad (Determinant)
Julia (Determinant)
Alex (Determinant)
Fliss (Determinant)

## Chronological Order

**Know the Ropes** is a white picture in *Man of Medan*. It can be found by Alex, Julia, Brad, or Fliss in the lower deck. This picture appears in Depths.

## Overview

A white-bordered framed painting. It depicts a ship sailing in an undulating sea.

## Premonition

Olson strangles someone with a sledgehammer when the cargo door chain snaps and falls.

## Outcome

Preparation for the premonition occurs in Distress Signal when the surviving protagonists decide which one of them will go down for the generator. If Alex goes down or stays in the radio room, but alone, the game will follow the necessary path. This scenario also happens if Alex is dead.

The premonition itself can be fulfilled in Flooded. During a fight between one of the protagonists and Olson, the two find themselves under a cargo door:

* If the Curator's Cut protagonist pulls the lever, the door will fall on the struggling two, leading to Olson's death, as well as the possible death of the protagonist and the destruction of the distributor cap.
* If the Curator's Cut protagonist doesn't pull the lever, Olson will choke the protagonist to death before smashing their head with a sledgehammer.

## Location

The picture can be found in the locker to the right behind the generator in the lower deck.

## Trivia

* Conrad is the only protagonist who can't find this picture as he never goes down for the generator.
* This, In the Offing, and Cured are the only pictures in the anthology that can be guaranteed not to happen by the time they are found.
	+ In this case, it will not happen if Alex stayed in the radio room with another protagonist.

## Overview

Tanya's personal journal discussing her home and work life as well as her desire to run away with Vince. It has been opened recently.

## Transcript

(page 1 and 2)

*January 3*

*Today's a snow day so I'm stuck at home, wrangling M while Mom cleans. M's a living hell. You have to watch her constantly. If you take your eyes off her for a moment she's away creating havoc somewhere. Today I found her playing with Dad's matches. Fortunately she didn't light any. I shouted at her, she started crying and then Mom screamed at me. I've been trapped in the house all day. V's at work. I feel miserable.*

*January 8*

*I had a busy shift at the diner today, covering for Jeannie, but she's going to cover for me tomorrow night. Murray was cranky as usual. Mister 'Handy' was up to his usual tricks, brushing against my ass at every opportunity. I poured coffee in his lap, he won't be doing that again. Tomorrow I see V for the first time in a week.*

(page 3 and 4)

*January 9*

*Took a drive with V out to the Point. Shared a bottle of whiskey he likes. It was cold out - but nice - a brisk cold. We kept warm in the car. V's funny, he does this dumb guy act that reminds me of a TV comedian. But he's actually real smart and everyone's jealous of his car.*

*January 15*

*V wanted to see some new Western movie but I wasn't interested in cowboys. So we drove to Harry's for a burger and then went bowling. So great to be treated like an adult. V's super-sweet-real attentive and kind. We're good together. Dad's still sore about me dating someone from work. God knows what Mom thinks. I've had enough of this lousy family, especially the brat. I can't wait to be free. Maybe V's the key.*

## Location

It can be found on a table by the window in Tanya's room, which is located in the right hallway past the ladder.

## Trivia

* This diary reveals that Megan has a history of playing with matches.
* Megan and Vince are referred to as "M" and "V" respectively, rather than their first names.
* Megan is likely the one who opened the diary, causing her to lament about her family not caring about her.
* Strangely, Vince is referred to "someone from work" despite other secrets stating that he worked at the factory, not the diner. This could mean that James does not want Tanya dating someone from his workplace, not hers.

*Manny Sherman, born January 1, 1956. Come on. You know all this, what do you want? What's this? Huh, you've been doing your research, haven't you, Special Agent Munday? What are my favorite television programs? Describe my first pet? What were your friends like as a child? What is this? You taking a survey or you trying to learn something? Would it kill you to be direct? You wanted to know what inspired me? As if I wasn't an original? Well, maybe there was one man I found myself a little fascinated by. Henry Howard Holmes. Why? Because he was numero uno. America's first. The guy invented the trade. He set the benchmark, you know? Learn your history, Munday. Read a book. You think because I stuck a blade in some people and get off on it, I'm not smart? I, uh... heh... allegedly killed thirteen people before you got smart enough to find me.*

The **Target LZ** is a location in *The Dark Pictures Anthology*'s third installment, *House of Ashes*.

## Description

The name of this place - Target LZ - was given by the Americans as they planned to raid the area to find an underground weapons depot.

In fact, this is just a farm surrounded by many bushes. It contains several small thatched huts, as well as trucks and tractors. Inside, all the huts look the same: ragged walls, bunks, lots of carpets, and a few pagan effigies hanging on the ropes. However, some huts have different contents, as in one of the huts visited during The Raid had a basket of gas masks and drugs hidden under the carpet, while the hut where the protagonists flee during Daylight has trash bags and boxes of flares in the corner.

The farm is nestled within the Zagros Mountains and sits directly on top of the hidden temple.

## *House of Ashes*

### Main Story

#### Act 1

The American Unit arrives at the farm and takes over the huts. As Rachel interrogates the shepherds about the entrance to the silo, the squad learns that they are just common crooks as they find drugs. At the same time, the Iraqi patrol comes to the farm and watches the Americans for a while, after which they shoot at a helicopter with a rocket launcher. In the course of the firefight, earthquakes begin and all participants in the battle are plunged into the caverns below.

#### Act 3

By the end of the game, only the protagonists manage to return to the surface, as the rest have been killed. Initially, they rejoice that they are safe, but an eclipse ensues, causing many vampires to surface and attack the protagonists one last time. The group runs to one of the huts, where they fight off the vampires and possibly the The Ancient One for 6 minutes. During this time, each protagonist can die, being overwhelmed by the monsters, or hold out long enough before the eclipse ends and air support arrives. Either way, rescue arrives and whether or not anyone survived, the helicopter will leave the area, either with any survivors or no one.

## Plain Sailing

* Overview
* Frame

## Chronological Order

**Plain Sailing** is a white picture in *Man of Medan*. It can be found by Conrad in the officers' quarters. This picture appears in the Theatrical Cut of Glamor Girl.

## Overview

A white-bordered framed painting. It depicts two small ships sailing in a calm sea.

## Premonition

The distributor cap falls on the floor and is crushed by a falling elevator.

## Outcome

The premonition can be fulfilled in Matters of the Heart. When Alex tries to retrieve the distributor cap from Olson's corpse when he is attacked by rats:

* If Alex completes QTEs or another protagonist opens the door to the office late (Curator's Cut), the cap will remain intact.
* If Alex fails QTEs or another protagonist opens the door in the office too early (Curator's Cut), the cap will fall down the elevator shaft and be crushed by the falling elevator. This will result in survivors remaining stranded on the ship unless they have called in the military or Conrad has escaped.

## Location

The picture can be found on the wall in the first left room in the officers' quarters.

## Trivia

* This premonition's particular variation has the distributor cap destroyed by a fallen elevator.
* Plain Sailing is one of many pictures in the anthology that can be found by only one protagonist. In this case, it can be found by Conrad.
* Even though the picture is white, if the survivors remain stranded on the ship and lost all chances of salvation, they will die.

## Overview

A note about the vampires' saliva and its hallucinogenic effect, with a scribble at the bottom. A drawing of their maw is on the reverse side.

## In-Game Description

These typewritten notes hint that the creature's saliva has a poisonous effect on humans.

## Transcript

*Saliva*

*We have collected and bottled the black saliva present on the maw of the creature extracted from the cocoon. I and others who smelt the substance have experienced heart palpitations and a heightened sense of fear. Some have reported odd visual effects, such as a change to colors.*

*We have attempted to secure additional samples of the saliva from the site where M was attacked. The smell was so overpowering that respirators were used to collect the samples. We recommend the use of masks at all times when handling samples, to avoid becoming affected.*

*Sensation similar to experience with mushrooms?*

*PSILOCYBIN?!*

## Location

It can be found on a piece of wood near the water wheel.

## Trivia

* Mary is referred to as 'M' in the note.

## Overview

The second part of Randolph Hodgson's journal.

The front page tells about Randolph with Mary and Bradshaw found each members of the expedition and assembled the team.

The back page tells how the expedition made their way into the tomb and discovered that it was not the tomb of Alexander the Great, but the temple of an old God-King Naram-Sin. Although they were wrong, Bradshaw still claimed that it was a find for the ages and that their names would be recorded in history.

## In-Game Description

This journal entry details the archaeologists' discovery of the temple.

## Transcript

(on front)

*April 2nd, 1946*

*We have assembled our team. Top of my list was my old comrade from the wars, Captain Sherman Crow, the bulldog of Omaha Beach. We found him in Cairo, brawling for money in a Levantine drinking club.*

*Crow recommended an experienced dig foreman, Arthur Pulman, and in Haifa we picked up my assistant, the always inquisitive Aline Journeau. Lady Bradshaw insisted on the presence of her own advisor, Ellis van Huyten, an archaeologist I know only from his poor reputation. Our team complete, we shall head to Lebanon and from there by train to Baghdad.*

(on back)

*October 21st, 1946*

*Crow was the first to break into the tomb, an honour he shared with "Bessie", that damned machinegun of his. It was a beast of a weapon, but it seemed to comfort the fellahin doing the digging.*

*This place has lain undisturbed for centuries. It is not the tomb of Alexander the Great, but a temple of an even older God-King: the Akkadian despot Naram-Sin.*

*We have been mistaken, but Lady Bradshaw still declares it a find for the ages. A discovery that will write our names in the annals of history. Looking at this sceptered hall, I have no reason to doubt her.*

## Location

It can be found on the ground in the room with the tripwire. This secret can only be collected if Jason and Nick avoid the tripwire.
