Collectibles

In Murder by Choice, **collectibles** can be found in the locations you explore when playing the game. There are multiple categories with a shared theme that each contain 3 items. When all 3 items are collected under a category, you will get 15 energy. There are two types of collectibles: story collectibles and exploration collectibles.

Story Collectibles can be found while playing the Story Mode of the current chapter. After finding all 3 items under a category, you will also be rewarded with a description relating to the theme of the category. If you don't find all the Story Collectibles before beating the chapter, you will get a chance in Exploration Mode to do so before being able to collect the Exploration Collectibles.

Exploration Collectibles can be found when playing the Exploration Mode of the current chapter after finishing its story. There is no rewarded description when you find all 3 items under a category. You are given the option to track a category to have all of its item names be under the objectives button and allow the hint button to guide towards these items. You do not need to track a category to find an item under this category. The track option also applies towards uncollected Story Collectibles in Exploration Mode.
