Do you need help with the trophies?

Here is a good description (provided by www.ps3fanboy.com) of how to get the all the trophies for Linger in Shadows.


Sigil Of Time

At the beginning of the scene on Linger Mode, the game will pause. Simply press the X button to start it again. Then a second after that, press X to pause it again. This time an icon shaped like a controller will appear. Simply shake the controller to activate the SIXAXIS. The trophies for this game will not pop on the upper right corner as other ones do. Instead you will have to wait till the end of the whole scene to get them all.
----------


Sigil Of Motion

At one point the scene will stop and reverse itself. When this happens, icons on the top of your screen will appear. The L2 or the R2 buttons will be need to be pressed to fast forward the screen.
----------


Sigil Of Chaos

At around 03:06:000 you should pause the scene and you will notice a controller icon appear with arrows around it. Simply rotate the controller to continue.
----------


Sigil Of Nature

At around 04:48:000, you will see a cat. At this time on the screen you will see an option to press O. simply do so to continue.
----------


Sigil Of Creation

At around 05:19:000, you will have chance to press O again to light up the eyes of the robot. At 06:02:000, you will have to shake the controller to continue.
----------


Sigil Of Light

Just finish the scene to unlock all the Trophies so far.
----------


Greetings To Fairlight

The Greetings Trophies are actually part of a puzzle scattered throughout the scene itself. At certain points of the scene you will pause and press the Square button to be able to look around. To look around simply move your controller in the direction you desire. For this Trophy pause the scene at 02:17:000 and look towards the lower left corner.
----------


Greetings To Sunflower

For this one pause the scene at 03:10:000 and look towards your right hand side.
----------


Greetings To Still

This next one can be a tad irritating. At around 03:13:000 pause the scene and you will see a small piller to the right. Which you can rotate. You must rotate it to reveal the puzzle piece you need.

Greetings To Farbrausch

Now at 03:31:000, pause the scene again and look towards the lower right for this piece.

At 03:56:000 pause the scene and look to your lower left corner.

Greetings To Sunflower - Sunflower is an old group that brought new trends to the demoscene in the beginning of accelerated era. Their demos seem to not suffer from time. This is due to their abstract style and very sophisticated music. The group was formed from very experienced sceners and project "Sunflower" survived for only two years (1999-2001). We all hope that they will make a massive comeback.

Greetings To Farbrausch - Farbrausch is a demogroup famous for using procedural techniques for creating textures, scenes, and animations in their productions. "Werkzeug" which is their demotool, successfully started a new era of tools, separating coders from artists, thus speeding up production process. Together with "Werkzeug" came V2, a high-quality software synthesizer that was already adopted by other groups respecting its values. Farbrausch is mostly known for;"Candytron", "The produkkt", "The Popular Demo" and recently released "Debris".

As the first group in demoscene history, they've managed to show their real-time production "Chaos Theory" together with other offline, pre-processed animations at SIGGRAPH 2007. This intro has also received a scene.org award.

Greetings To MFX - Mfx demos are known for their distinctive, mostly experimental style, focusing on building a specific dark atmosphere.

Mfx has been awarded with many awards including the scene.org award for Most Original Concept in a Demo called "The Ballet Dancer".

Greetings To Andromeda Software Development - Andromeda Software Development is a demogroup with an extremely distinctive style. Their demos featured dynamic coherent flows of abstract visual elements subtly blending into each other in various and unexpected ways.

Greetings To Madwizards - Madwizards is an old group originating out of Poland best known for their accelerated Amiga productions. They've managed to invent their own abstract style while mixing real-time effects together with still post-processed photography. In their most recent production "Senzala", they went back to the roots developing on classic Amiga.
