Discover the stories of the past as you explore the worlds of Nobodyville and Coalhaven in The Midnight Walk. Who is the Soulfisher, and what has become of the sun?
Below is a comprehensive guide to all the Shellphone locations within The Midnight Walk.
Shellphone Locations in The Midnight Walk
This guide is organized by chapter, featuring images in sequential order to facilitate collection during a single playthrough. Although you can navigate to any chapter from the main menu, please be mindful that doing so will overwrite your current progress. For the best experience, consider searching for collectibles either at the game’s start or after completing it, ensuring you capture the full narrative and reach the conclusion.
You can access Housy anytime from the main menu (even post-game) to review your collectibles, as most lore is presented in this area. Please note that there are no Shellphones to collect in The Tale of the Dark chapter.
