The story of a traumatized Ellen Page and her invisible friend.

runtime.dat
NOTE: Only able to be done pre-patch 1.02.

By decrypting the runtime.sdat file, found in the USRDIR, a standard INI file is outputted. Notable entries include: Cheat = 0 DebugMenu = 0

QA Menu
After changing the DebugMenu entry in the runtime.sdat file, re-encrypting and replacing the file in your USRDIR folder, press L3 in-game to display a "QA Menu". Enabling any of the options will do as it says on the tin, and screenshots are stored in the USRDIR in TGA format. The "GLOBAL", "DIALOGS" and "ANIMATIONS" submenus can be cycled with L1 and R1.

Using the "Free camera", it is possible to see...more of Jodie's model during the shower scene than what is normally shown. This makes it the second naked woman found with a game's debug menu, the first being Mechanized Attack.

Cheat Menu
ubPq77zE13E You can enable the cheat menu by setting either:
 * BUILDSONY=PROD in runtime.sdat file, or
 * QDR.Infraworld_Var.BootCheat = 4 in BigFile_PS3.dat

It provides access to all chapters and special production environments, such as the "Sandbox Sound Mode".

Further Settings
Setting UseCinemaRatio=0 will remove the black bars on top and bottom.
