Thanks for saying it’s not possible to go back to the start. I suspected as much but retracing steps back from South Quarter I did find more loot and 2 secrets, so that was good.

Only found one secret and 2400 loot short so I need to have a replay.
I'm curious what secrets have been found; I only found one during my first playthrough (
museum lobby balcony) but I'm back in to find more.

Yes, people reporting such a low rate of secrets is making me doubt it. I'm gonna double check that it's not screwed up somehow.

I've now found 2 as I'm playing through from the sewers before I do a complete replay.

i am waiting for version 2 to come out before i try to find the 4 secrets i missed, i am hoping one of them is epic

Remember that around this weekend I'll be releasing the newer version!

Many thanks for the link to
“The Caretaker - Everywhere At The End Of Time”. I’m still thinking that loop comes from (
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S652aa_kXjY) here
more precisely Victrola plays a sample from
Everywhere which itself has samples of Al Bowlly.
“
The opening track of Everywhere, "It's Just a Burning Memory", introduces "Heartaches", one of the main samples that gradually degrade throughout the series. In Stage 1, it is a version by Al Bowlly ... “. I could still be wrong, HaHa.
I'll only hear the Victrola again when I replay (which I’ll definitely will) but the start of
Everywhere on (
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJWksPWDKOc&list=RDwJWksPWDKOc&start_radio=1) Youtube is definitely the orchestral bit before the “vocal refrain”. Anyway that’s my bit for Al Bowlly
, killed by the Luftwaffe in London in 1941 - aged 42. I'll say no more. Just trying to stave off memory loss. :tsktsk:
Seriously I take on board your caution about
Everywhere and may spread listening to chunks over a period. Thanks again.
Regarding secrets I got two, found when retracing steps back from South Quarter when I was feeling more secure with weapons and there were less enemies about.

Yes Aged, Caretaker's song is very obviously sampling from the song you pointed out.
It would be cool if everyone could point out which specific secrets you got, under a spoiler tag.

My two secrets found so far are, without being too specific :
Near South Quarter in The Black Quill Bibliotheca
and
Down in the sewers starting from where that zombie above ground is behind a grill (Sickert Square) and then going along and looking up.downwinder on 20/8/2025 at 22:25
maybe if we lucky he will do a 4th wall breaking and have a mini "hal9000" peaking out :P, and some shining power type things "doctor sleep" is a great book, and 2001/2010
we need more 4th wall breaking things like the backrooms

there is a not-marked-secret secret in the museum in the room with the broken sword; I knew that vent looked suspicious, but the trigger was something I hadn't seen before. possibly Thief 2014 inspired?
having a rope arrow earlier will probably open up other possibilities :D
the crab-headed safe upstairs is also not marked as a secret, but feels like it should be one. this time I found the switch and got the loot; last time I was able to frob the key through the front panel and didn't search further.
the secret in the sewer path to Sickert Square triggers properly.
the secret in the Black Quill library triggers properly. tiny bug: the window across from the door has a weird black square sticking through the frame.
on my second playthrough I found 4978/5642 gold and 3/4 secrets; rather stymied by that last one. hope someone can find it!
