Welcome to In Sound Mind Pills & Vinyl records collectible items. The complete map indicating the locations of all the collectibles is provided in this walkthrough. Advisory: image-heavy!

Some notes

Some notes before you start the guide.

• The game is very generous with collectibles. It’s possible to finish the game without a guide and collect everything yourself.
• All the pills in each tape can be obtained by defeating the boss. This is much easier than trying track them down while they attack you. However, it will require some additional backtracking.
• All the pills can easily be found using that mirror shard from the first tape. It will reveal the pills as light-blue objects if you use it to look around.
• You can replay tapes if you’ve forgotten any pills. However, you will have to go through the story section.
• There are two pills in the basement. It becomes inaccessible once the fourth tape is finished. These pills can be obtained immediately after the first tape is finished, so ensure you get them as soon as possible.

Now let’s get to it.

Maps: Apartment Building

Since the pills in an apartment building are spread over several visits, I will include the maps in this section.

Apartment Building – First Visit

Pill #1 – Fastonyde

The first pill is ready in a matter of minutes. You will need access to the laundry area to activate the elevator’s fuse. In some boxes, you can find the pill on top by going parkour.

Pill #2 – Detectynol

Next, you’ll need to play for a while until you go through your tape and assemble the pistol. After assembling the pistol, the next pill will be available in the basement workshop. The barrel is located next to oil and wooden boards. Simply shoot the barrel to destroy them and get the pills.

Pill #3 – Vitalyxe

Continue on down the corridor. Next, use your pistol to shoot the vent in top left of the room. Grab the pill by climbing on the boxes.

Pill #4 – Enduramyn

Take the elevator to reach the first floor. Turn right towards the maintenance area after you’ve left the elevator. Shoot the barrel at end of the hallway to reveal the pill.

This is all the medication available in the apartment right now. Virginia’s tape can be picked up and taken to the apartment.

Virginia’s Tape Homa-Mart

First, go through the level without stopping until you reach the Mirrors. This level requires a HomaMart Coin to obtain. These coins are available at cash registers by scanning cards containing a certain dollar amount. These cards will only be created if you have passed through the registers once. You don’t even need all the cards – you only need the $0.50, $1, or $1.99 cards. However, when you use the mirror shard to see around, they glow white.

The $1 card can also be found near the shutters to section food.

The $0.50 credit card can be found near the other entrance of the food section.

You can find the $2 card just before the cash registers. But you don’t need it. The final $1.99 card is not available until later in this level.

Go to the cash registers. The cash register at the back requires $4. To get the coin scan the $1 card 4x or the $2 card 2x. The next one will need $5. Scave the $1 card five times or… The next register will need $2.50, while the final one will require $3.99. However, it isn’t yet available (, it’s tied to story progress and not a tablet).

The Homa-Mart coins allow us to get some pills finally.

Pill #1 – Vitalyxe

You will find the shopping carts at the HomaMart entrance. Open the carts with one of your coins and you will be able to retrieve the first pill.

Pill #2 – Detectynol

Turn off the power to staff room (lever 4) and then go back to staff room to insert the coin into the vending machine. It doesn’t have the power to dispense the pill. Go back to the power-room and turn the power on again. Then, immediately turn it off so you can grab your pill.

Go up the hill. At the junction, turn left. You will find the pill in the cave-in at end of road.

Pill #3 – Vitalyxe

Pill #7 – Enduramyn

You will reach a section in which you must run and scramble along the cliffside, while being bombarded by projectiles of the Shade. After some parkour, this outcrop will be supported by wooden beams. To reach the pill, jump to your left and then across. It will begin to slide down when you get close, but you are able to inch your way up onto the edge of it to reach it.

Pill #8 – Detectynol

Continue to fight your way along this stretch of beach. This area will eventually be marked with a red light. The pill is hanging from the rib cage of the whale skeleton.

Apartment Building – Third visit

The flare gun can be used to obtain a few more pills inside the apartment building. But first…

Allen’s Record: Bottom of the Pit

Go down to the second floor. Turn left and return to Allen’s place. Go right and photograph the darkness blocking your attic stairs. You can navigate through boxes in the attic to reach a hole in floor. This will allow you to clear more darkness from the ground floor. Go back down and you will now be able to access the fenced area at the back. Open the door to your left and shoot another flare through that hole in the wall. Return to the hallway and enter into the newly opened area. Proceed straight ahead and shoot one final patch of darkness before you reveal Allen’s bed.

This is it for now. Grab Max’s tape and move on to the next level.

Max’s Tape Old Factory

Pill #1 – Detectynol

After using the rail car to jump over a fence, unblock the rest the train house, you will see a window at far wall that has been blocked by some boards.

Use the rotating rail platform with a crate to guide the cart towards the rail stopper. Use the cart for breaking the crate or picking up the pill.

Pill #3 – Fastonyde

Play on until the Bull is released from its cave, and then return to the train yard. The pill is hidden in a red railway car without a roof. It can be found in the front left corner. There are no nearby objects to climb on, but you can shoot at the Bull to disable the Bull nearby and then use the Bull’s eyes for help. If this seems too bothersome, you can always come back after crafting the lure pills and use one of those to pacify Bulls and climb it. You can also wait until you defeat the Bull to use the lure pills to make another attempt. Then, a stack of crates magically appears next to the railcar that you can climb onto.

Pill #4 – Vitalyxe

The powerstation has the next pill. After you’ve lowered some bollards with your 2V chip, you can use the Bull to ram through a gate.

These can be used to reach the big, metal beam along the edge. Then follow the beam to reach another beam which will take you out the transformer yard. You will find the pill at the top of an electrical pole. You can reveal the pill using your mirror shard, then shoot it down with your pistol.

Pill 6 – , 7, 8 – Enduramyn, Detectynol, Vitalyxe

You’ll eventually reach third floor. Make sure that you have all three of the chips in your inventory. Grab the key card from Archives. You will need three sockets to place your chips on this floor. 3V in socket closest to lab, 2V at the one just behind the fence and 1V in the socket next to the laboratory door. The key card on the keycard reader will give you the key code and the next three pills are waiting for your on a desk at end of room.

Pill #9 – Detectynol

Now it’s time for a little backtracking after crafting the lure pills. Go back to the little yard before the Power Station. There is an oil puddle below the ground that covers the entrance to the railcar. You can use a lure tablet to break the oil and locate the pill inside.

Pill #10 – Enduramyn

After luring Bull to leave the factory grounds, move straight ahead instead of following rail tracks.

Follow this one up to the top, jumping carefully over a hole to the chute and grabbing the final pill.

Apartment Building – Fourth visit

Pill #20 – Any

You will encounter a problem when the elevator is trying to descend to the first level. Tonia will rescue your safety and then you will need to escape through some vents. You can then take the elevator back up the second floor. You will see the last Homa-Mart Coin through the bars. With some quick timing, it is possible to grab it. This should already be known.

Pill #21 – Detectynol

You can return to the Utility Room at the back left. This is where you used your gas mask to grab a tablet. Toss a lure into the oil to break the crates at back and reveal another pill.

Pill #22 – Detectynol

Go back into Max’s apartment in East Hallway. Toss another lure pill into Max’s truck, then get into the truck and drive through Maddy’s bedroom. The record is at the desk. Get back in your truck and reverse it to get out of this room.
