Life Tastes Like Cardboard: Memory Locations Guide

There are 31 collectibles in the game placed around for you to find. Some are more hidden than others. These collectibles don’t have an official name but I’m going to refer to them as memories. Whenever you collect a memory you can discuss it with Jon’s good friend Rem at the end of the chapter. This always signifies the start of a new chapter. I’ve only managed to find 30 memories so I’m not sure if there’s any kind of reward for finding all 31 of them. If you know where the 16th memory is, the one called lecture notes located in the giant maze in chapter 6, please let me know. Here are the collectibles and their names by chapter:
