Check the timestamps if you're looking for just a puzzle solution like the Trident or how to get into the church out building or the printing press or the ventilation puzzles.
In an effort to focus on routing & collectibles, this playthrough was done on the invulnerability difficulty. There's enough backtracking that I didn't want to clutter the routing with safe room visits if I could remove them. The number of enemies does not appear to change between easy and normal. And quite frankly, being invulnerable is awesome. :) Also, the Ambient noise in the settings has been turned off so there's no worm sounds in this walkthrough. I couldn't handle them. :)
