A search by no means trivial!
Detroit Become Human, the exclusive waiting license plate Sony e Quantic Dream, Has 46 magazines, which if collected all, will allow you to unlock the trophy: "Bookworm / Bookworm". It is impossible to find all the magazines in the first playthrough because they depend on our choices. Some of them will in fact affect game events, which means that if you choose decision A you will receive magazine A - if you choose decision B you will receive magazine B (in the exact same place a different magazine will be generated). The requirements are all highlighted in our guide. Take what you can during the first run and then, through the chapter selection function, pick up what you missed.
If you have forgotten a specific magazine, you must repeat all the chapters from the point where the important choice takes place. You cannot skip the middle chapters as progress is not saved in this way. After you find a magazine, you need to go through the chapter to the end to get it registered in the flow chart (it is not possible to exit the main menu immediately). Make sure you have the save function enabled when searching for these through chapter selection, otherwise it will not register the journals in the flowchart.
This guide lists them in chronological order by chapters as well as the numbers and names the magazines have in the Extras menu. In the Extras menu, you can check which magazines are missing at any time. You can also check the flowchart of each chapter, they are listed there too.
Important: you have to read each page and check both covers of each magazine. They usually have two topical topics listed on the cover. Swipe down on the touchpad to turn pages and swipe right to view the other cover. Even if they are in the same magazine, they count as separate collectibles!
