Introduction:

Welcome to the Projection: First Light Trophy Guide!
Follow the adventures Greta, a girl living in a mythological shadow puppet world, as she embarks on a journey of self-enlightenment with the assistance of legendary heroes from the different cultures she explores as she travels through the histories of Indonesia, China, Turkey, and England.

This game is a puzzle platformer with the unique mechanic of using light manipulation to solve the puzzles, using shadows to move yourself or objects to progress the levels. Original and wonderful visuals with an atmospheric soundtrack made with antique instruments used for shadow puppet performances create an impressive indie game that I recommend you play.

Small gameplay tip: If you fall through the shadow, or are struggling to move objects with the shadows, try just moving them much slower, it seems to work better with slower movement.

Roadmap:

Step 1: Complete the game, While keeping your eye out for the collectable butterflies and miscellaneous trophies.
Complete the game enjoying the puzzles for yourself or if you are stuck at any point refer to the video walkthrough below for all puzzle solutions. While playing the game at any point you can go to the scene select screen which will show you how many butterflies are in each level, and how many you have found so far. It is your choice if you just want to play the game blind and mop up missed butterflies or miscellaneous trophies at the end, or if you want to follow the video guide for your first playthrough getting them all in one go. 

In this step you will earn all the story related trophies and definitely at least 50 butterflies:
Butterfly Effect
Lights and Shadows

Sailor
Journey Below
Dragonfly
Rock Hunter
Precious
Midnight Train
Welcome Party
Machinist

Step 2: Miscellaneous trophy and collectable butterflies clean-up.
There are 5 easy miscellaneous trophies, and 3 collectables trophies for finding 1, 50, and all 166 butterflies. If you missed any of these now mop them up via scene select with the use of the guide/video guide to complete your platinum!

During this step you’ll earn these trophies:

See Completionist.

Made of Paper Fell into water.

When you see water just jump into it for this easy trophy.
Can first be achieved in the scene ‘Forest’.

Take Me With You Carried a pot out of a level.

Pick up a pot and keep it with you carrying it out of a level for this easy trophy.
Can first be achieved in the scene ‘Forest’, but is easy to get in many other levels after too.

Dedicated Collected every butterfly in Shimmy.

The scene ‘Shimmy’ is the boss level in England, and there are 8 butterflies to collect within it. 
You have to be quite quick to grab these 8 in this side scrolling level, but if you die it’s ok and will actually make it easier as the ones you’ve already got will remain registered (as long as you don’t quit out of the level) giving you more time to get ahead and collect the rest. 

Trashy Dropped 10 pots into water.

At the start of scene ‘Action’ there will be a pot right next to some water, just drop the pot in the water, the pot will automatically respawn, so pick it up and drop it in the water again, rinse repeat 10 times until the trophy unlocks.

There There Consoled King Yama.

In the scene ‘Underworld’ when the Monkey king flies through the ceiling you will see giant King Yama sat at a desk. Simply jump up onto the desk and go up to King Yama for this trophy to unlock.
