There are alotof collectibles to find in Augustine’s hoard of interdimensional versions of the Murder Mill film.

Along the right shelves, you can findthe Fake Prop Arm Artifact,which was used in Chapter 3 to make it look as though Jaime’s arm had been chainsawed off.

On the other side, you’re able to findthe Murder Mine T-Shirt Artifactandthe Nurse Dead by Daylight Doll.

You’ll watch the scene Linda wrote of Jaime and Chris at the Furnace, only Chris has been swapped out for Bonnie. Not only does this end the chapter, but it counts as anArtifact.

If you took Sam’s journal and the scrap of paper, you’ll get a unique scene in which Linda findsthe Logan Chen Letter Artifact.
