Choices & Side Trophies

Everything that isn't a photo. The big one is Bay or Bae — the only reason for a second playthrough — plus four mutually-exclusive romance trophies and a pile of small optional favours and secrets. All of these are recoverable via chapter select, so you never need more than two full runs.

The Gold — needs two playthroughs

Bay or Bae

GoldFull guideCollapse

Complete the story with both Chloe outcomes.
TypeGold
Needs2 playthroughs

What it asks

Early on, Double Exposure asks you to settle Chloe's fate from the first game — the classic "Bay or Bae" decision. This gold requires completing the story with both answers.

How to earn it

  1. Pick one outcome on your first playthrough and finish the game.
  2. Start a second run (or chapter-select from the decision point) and choose the opposite outcome, then reach the end again.
  3. Use dialogue-skip to speed through repeated scenes on run two.
This is the single reason the platinum needs two playthroughs — everything else can be chapter-selected.
Romance — one per run, mop up the rest

A Nice Girl Who Runs a Bar

SilverFull guideCollapse

Romance only Amanda.
TypeSilver
RomanceAmanda only

How to earn it

Pursue the flirt/romance dialogue options with Amanda and decline Vinh's throughout. The four romance trophies are exclusive, so this can't stack with the others in a single run.

Only Eyes for the Bad Boy

SilverFull guideCollapse

Romance only Vinh.
TypeSilver
RomanceVinh only

How to earn it

Take Vinh's romance options and decline Amanda's. Chapter-select the relevant chapters to grab this without a whole extra run.

It's Complicated

SilverFull guideCollapse

Romance both Amanda and Vinh.
TypeSilver
RomanceBoth

How to earn it

Flirt with both Amanda and Vinh across the game — keep both romance routes alive rather than committing to one.

Romantically Disentangled

SilverFull guideCollapse

Romance neither Amanda nor Vinh.
TypeSilver
RomanceNeither

How to earn it

Decline all flirt options with both characters. Easiest to grab via chapter select on the chapters with romance beats.

Plan: do "both" on one run and "neither" via chapter select, then chapter-select the two solo romances — all four with minimal replay.
