- Also look for keys, which are used to unlock body cabinets in the morgue for sweet prizes. Keys are sometimes out in the open, but most of the time they'll be hidden in little statues of...goddesses? Angels? No idea. Little gray statues about the size of your calf that need to be broken.

- The cabinets in the morgue will ultimately end up giving you the same exact stuff on every playthrough so don't sweat it too much, but the order in which you get that stuff is mostly random, so if there's a specific kind of ammo you want you can usually just reload until you get it. That said, it seems like sometimes you're guaranteed to get green gel on certain keys, guaranteed NOT to get it on others, etc.
- It's not a bad idea to try and save-scum the cabinets until you get mostly green gel for your first few keys - most enemies early in the game can be killed without ammo if you're crafty and willing to run and hide a lot, and those early few stock upgrades can really help you load up for later.
- The first real boss (Chapter 3) can be killed without firing a shot. Make sure to wipe out every regular enemy before you trigger him, and learn the environment. A single torch can be used to light multiple haybales, all of which do solid damage if the boss is close to them when they go up, plus there are at least three reusable spike traps hidden throughout the level. As long as you don't let him catch you, you can just lead him around the level, slowly killing him with the environment and saving yourself plenty of ammo for later.


- Melee attacks can be used to break boxes and vases and shit, which is where goodies hide. If you're holding something throwable, like a bottle, use the triangle or Y button to attack without using the item in your hand (no idea what it is on the PC).
