The manuscripts are collectible texts scattered throughout Elliot's adventures, and together they flesh out the history, characters, and lore that underpin the world. It's easy to miss them in the hustle and bustle of the main story, tucked into side rooms, optional dungeons, and far corners of the map in different time periods.
Once you've tracked them down, you can sit down and read them during the Age of Safety at the Huther Orphanage, making it a natural home base for anyone looking to piece the story together. The table below lists all the manuscripts in the game, the age in which you can find it, and where exactly it is hidden.
