I recently got a chance to play through Beyond The Evil on the PlayStation 5 Pro, thanks to a review copy provided by QUByte Interactive.
You can find my platinum trophy walkthrough below:
Trophy Guide and Road Map:
At the start of the game, interact with the guitar to unlock the Not That Bad Trophy.
At the start of chapter 2, interact with the alarm clock as soon as you wake up to unlock the Shut Up trophy.
Also during Chapter 2, there will be a chest that you need to unlock with a five-digit code. Underneath it, slide open the cabinet to reveal a rubber duck. Interact with it to unlock the Quack trophy.
Each of the five chapters contain two Buddha Statues. If you missed them, reload to an earlier save.
The rest of the trophies will unlock as you complete the game and get all three endings. After getting one of the ending, reload to the start of the fifth chapter again to get the other ending.
For the Sad Ending, select the Let Matthew Work option when asked.
For the Good Ending, select the Reject The Offer ending and then incapacitate Matthew when you escape.
For the Epic Ending, you need to find all three gun parts in the mansion, assemble them, and then shoot Matthew.
You can find my mini review of Beyond The Evil below:
- Pros:
- Interesting puzzles that focus on exploration.
- Intriguing plot with lots of twists.
- Haunting soundtrack.
Cons:
- Text can be hard to read.
Overall:
Beyond The Evil is a first-person psychological horror game that is primary exploration and puzzle based.
You will spend the majority of the time reading notes, solving puzzles, and exploring the environment. In fact, you often have to look at every nook and cranny in order to solve a puzzle, most of which requires some sort of numerical combination.
The game starts out with a distress call that eventually led to a murder investigation, before expanding to something even more sinister. The plot is so intriguing that you want to see through it to the very end.
My only real issue with the game is that the text in the game can be very hard to read. The fonts of the subtitles and notes are too thin on the big screen. Not to mention that the numbers on locks are hardly visible due to the small font and dark environment.
Outside of that, Beyond The Evil is a great first-person psychological horror game with an intriguing plot and interesting puzzles.
