Tip to find the figurines easily
The developers are not so cruel as to ask you to blindly find all these figures, in the darkest corners of a rotten village full of monsters. They’re not all on the main path, you’ll often have to explore optional passages to find them, which is what you should be doing when looking for objects anyway. But at least their precious indicator will let you know there’s a statuette nearby: the sound.
Indeed, each figurine permanently produces a characteristic mechanical toy sound, it corresponds to what one would expect from a mechanical doll. We therefore recommend that you only play with the sound of the game and ban external music. Playing in a calm and quiet environment will also help you immensely.
If for some reason this is not possible, the images below should be extremely helpful for you in locating them.
