Chilla’s Art is a well-known developer duo in the Japanese horror gaming scene, and we’ve been graced with a very long list of retro and very spooky short games to play through. The latest of these games is Cursed Digicam, and it’s getting a lot of attention.
The story of Cursed Digicam follows a father as he tries to free his dead daughter’s spirit from being trapped with the aid of a special camera made by a medium, and a website that promises to use the photos to free the spirit.
Of course, it’s not that straightforward, and there’s also a questionable mouse mascot who haunts you at every step, and a twisted tale to uncover as you play.
The game also has a short list of achievements, most of which require you to take every photo that can possibly be taken in the three different locations. There are 35 photos in total across the three locations, so it can be hard to miss some, but here’s how to find them all.
What are the codes in Cursed Digicam?
In every location, you’ll find a lot of four-digit codes scattered around. These codes can be entered on a nearby phone to give a hint about the location of a corresponding photo. In this guide, I’ll not only explain where to find the photo but which code corresponds to which as well.
Photos at the Park in the evening in Cursed Digicam
There are a total of nine photos that can be taken at the Park while you’re there in the daylight, but you won’t be able to get all of them in your first playthrough. Once you’ve taken seven photos, the game will automatically progress to nighttime.
Once you’ve finished your first playthrough, you’ll be able to select “Continue” from the main menu and revisit the park, picking up whichever of the photos you missed the first time around.
Photo #1 – Toilet Stall
This is the first photo you’ll be able to take and acts as a tutorial for using the camera. The ghost is found in the crack in the door of the toilet stall immediately to the right of the one you exit from. Taking this photo will open the door to the toilets, allowing you to venture out into the Park itself.
Photo #2 – Tree trunk
Code: 3210 (I hug the trees like a koala!)
Photo #3 – Talking boys
Code: 6065 (The boys are so into their conversation, they won’t even notice me.)
Photo #4 – Ladies bathroom
Code: 7022 (Whose rain boots are at the top of the toilet stall?)
Photo #5 – Vending machine
Code: 2024 (Look at the vending machine through the jungle gym! It’s where I forgot my ball.)
Photo #6 – Water fountain
Code: 1006 (The water is flowing.)
Photo #7 – Under the slide
Code: 3301 (I’m scared of the monster behind the ladder.)
Photo #8 – Tunnels
Code: 2426 (It’s fun playing with the tunnels. Now where’s my school bag?)
Photo #9 – Rain boots
Code: 4253 (Mountains are kind of interesting! I’ve marked my boots.)
Photos in the park at night time in Cursed Digicam
As soon as you’ve taken seven of the photos listed above, you’ll immediately be thrust into the darkness. There are 10 more photos to be taken at the Park during the night, although technically you only need to take eight to progress and go home.
However, as long as you don’t choose to go home, you can take all 10 photos and will have no need to return to this part later.
Photo #1 – Payphone
Enter the payphone and the door will close behind you, preventing you from getting out again. Open up the camera and look at the window behind the phone, where you’ll find a reflection of the girl trying to reach the phone.
After taking this photo, you’ll remain trapped in the payphone as water begins to rise. Don’t worry, this needs to just play out and once the water covers your head, you’ll be thrown out of the payphone to get more photos.
Photo #2 – Slide
Code: 5436 (The view when you go up the slide.)
Photo #3 – Vending machine
Code: 4117 (Vending machine drinks are special.)
Photo #4 – Iron bars
Code: 1216 (Iron bars are easy to hang onto.)
Photo #5 – Mountain ladder
Code: 5964 (It’s hard to climb a mountain unless it’s from a place where you can put your feet up.)
Photo #6 – Bathroom mirror
Code: 9108 (When I got bigger I could see myself in the mirror in the bathroom!)
In this photo, the girl is looking at the mascot as it stands at the door. It will still be there when you turn around, and this is likely the first major jump scare you will encounter.
Photo #7 – Swings
Code: 1996 (The swings are fun when there’s someone pushing you.)
Photo #8 – Balcony
Code: 7921 (Is there anyone on the balcony? Can I see them if I get closer?)
Photo #9 – Tires
Code: 8189 (The red eyes on the tires are scary.)
Photo #10 – Panda
Code: 2468 (I don’t remember panda shadows like this.)
Photos at the apartment in Cursed Digicam
Once you head back to your apartment, the creep factor really kicks up a notch or five. There are 16 photos that can be taken in the apartment, but technically only eight are needed to progress further into the story.
It is possible to get more than eight photos on your first playthrough, but you’ll need to play through this section twice to get every possible photo. After taking eight photos, an incredibly creepy ghost will spawn by the front door, and taking her photo will prevent you from taking any more.
Photo #1 – Door gap
This is the first photo you need to take, and you won’t be able to leave the room until you’ve got it.
Photo #2 – Door gap reversed
Open the door where you took the first photo, then turn around and close it again to take this photo through the gap on the other side.
Photo #3 – Kitchen curtain
Code: 3910 (I often hide behind the curtains when we play hide-and-seek.)
Photo #4 – TV room balcony
Code: 1561 (There’s a nice breeze through the balcony.)
Photo #5 – Kotatsu room air conditioner
Code: 1162 (It’s amazing who made air conditioners.)
Photo #6 – Kotatsu room clothes
Code: 4771 (These clothes are too big for me.)
Photo #7 – Toilet
Code: 2239 (Will you get angry if I flush the toilet many times?)
Photo #8 – Glass kitchen doors
Code: 4209 (Make sure you close the door from the kitchen to the hallway)
Photo #9 – Behind the fridge
Code: 3617 (The bugs behind the fridge are disgusting… Where do they even come from?)
Photo #10 – TV room trash bags
Code: 9865 (If it’s a garbage bag, they won’t know, right?)
Photo #11 – Kotatsu room closet
Code: 5103 (I feel like a detective peeking through the closet.)
Photo #12 – Under the Kotatsu cover
Code: 6834 (The inside of the table is warm.)
Photo #13 – Washing machine
Code: 5261 (I was told I can’t hide in the washing machine.)
Photo #14 – Through the bathroom door
Code: 7088 (I don’t like taking baths.)
Photo #15 – Above the toilet door
Code: 8549 (Where is the TV footage being taken from?)
Photo #16 – Front door
This is the ghost that will automatically spawn after you’ve taken eight photos. Capturing her photo will remove your ability to take any more, progressing the story forward.
