1. Reach the Town on the Tapestry

After dropping Hazel off at the dock, take the path to the crossroads and the street signs.

1/19 – Should I Leave? – Readables Collectible in South of Midnight

The first Readables collectible in Chapter 12 of South of Midnight is located by the street sign, on top of the tree stump. There are 18 more to find so keep your eyes peeled.

Follow the sign that says “Town on the Tapestry”. Hazel will be transported to the signpost, but this time it is toppled over. Repair it. This time, “Town on the Tapestry” points to the path straight ahead.

2/19 – Should I Stay? – Readables Collectible

This time, there is a caravan with a giant boar at the crossroads. Check out the tree stump near the singpost to find the next Readables collectible.

3/19 – The Record Keeps Skipping – Readables Collectible

Step into Roux, the magician’s caravan. It’s bigger on the inside than it looks on the outside. Take a moment to read the Readables note attached to the gramophone.

4/19 – Milk and Sugar, Love? – Readables Collectible

Further ahead but in the same area is this sticky note collectible.

5/19 – Ring, Ring – Readables Collectible

Keep going further into Roux’s caravan, and you’ll find a red trike with a note on it.

6/19 – Roux’s Limerence – Readables Collectible

Go upstairs and find this Readables collectible on the table near the old radio.

7/19 – The Hungry Maw – Readables Collectible

Next, look for a red fridge to find the 7/19 Readables collectible.

At the end of the room, Hazel will spot all her stuff – the cardbox she packed in Chapter 1. Interact with the box to talk to Mama and Roux.

2. Reach the Cabaret

Hazel gets transported to the Town of the Tapestry. Follow the brick path down and conjure a wall run to get across to the first building. Here, you can grapple across, just below Roux’s billboard, to reach the first Stigma zone.

8/19 – Still Stars Don’t Remember – Readables Collectible in South of Midnight

In this first Stigma Zone, look for a table behind a fence, where you can find this Readables collectible.

Also, in the zone of the first Stigma, look for a Floof on the balcony. You can reach it by climbing up on the side by pushing a nearby box there.

9/19 – Joe Goodfellow, 74 – Readables Collectible

Go to the pink building and look for a door with the name “Joe Goodfellow” on it. You’ll find the note attached there. You can also look inside the nearby window to see Joe Goodfellow.

10/19 – The Many Little Things – Readables Collectible

Use the nearby wind tunnel to reach the next section of the house with a wall run. After the wall run, look for a chair on the balcony—it has a Readables collectible.

11/19 – Hollowed Love – Readables Collectible

On the same balcony but further up is Readables 11/19 on top of a small square table.

Cross over to the next section by using Roux’s billboard and a wind tunnel. After landing, you can see the Health Filament high up on the right side.

12/19 – Spit It Out – Readables Collectible

Let’s pause that Health Filament for a moment and check behind the white house to the right. There is Readables 12/19 on the table.

Health Filament

To reach the Health Filament, use the two platforms on the right of the screenshot to access the wind tunnel. The wind tunnel will lead you directly to the Health Filament.

Continue to follow the story path to the next housing section. In the first stretch, cross over to the other side to find a Floof just below where Hazel stands in the screenshot.

13/19 – Ella Mae, 7 – Readables Collectible

In this stretch of housing, look for an entrance door with the name “Ella Mae” on it. You will wind Readables 13/19 here. You can also peek through Ella Mae’s window.

Nearby is a platform at the bottom level that Hazel can summon. Get onto the platform and look for a grapple that will take you straight to a Floof.

14/19 – I miss, I miss, I miss – Readables Collectible

In the area of this Floof is also Readables 14/19 on top of one of the round tables.

Next up is the second Stigma Zone in Chapter 12 of South of Midnight. Unravel it and continue on through the archway, up the stairs to the next housing section.

15/19 – Would be Beautiful – Readables Collectible

Before passing the house with the “Dreamy Spirits” neon sign, take a moment to look back. You’ll see an advertisement that you can pull down. Climb up the small bridge it reveals to find a Floof and Readables collectible (15/19) for Chapter 12.

16/19 – Templest Hamlin, 42 – Readables Collectible

Next, walk past the house with the “Dreamy Spirits” neon sign and traverse toward a “Taverne de la Tapisserie”. The entrance door with the Name “Tempest Hamlin” has Readables 16/19 attached to it. Like with the other doors, you can look through the window.

Follow the path to the back of this section and squeeze through to the next part of Chapter 12.

3. Reach the Clocktower

In the next section, you’ll encounter a lot of wall running. Start with the first wall and follow the path to the clock tower. This part can be a bit tricky. If you’re using a controller, use the other stick to adjust your movement on the wall and avoid hitting the thorns.

At the other end, the third Stigma Zone of Chapter 12 awaits. Unravel it to clear the access to the clock tower. Before entering it, have a good look around the park. There is a Floof and a flippable metal sheet.

There is a second flippable metal sheet on the other side of the park.

Next, enter the clock tower.

4. Climb the Clocktower

Inside the Clocktower, look for a lever and pull it. This will start the clocktower’s mechanism. Use the handles to climb up.

17/19 – Passage – Readables Collectible

In the section after you came up with the handles, look for a table and clockwork parts. There is a Readables collectible 17/19 on the table.

Use a clockwork part to break the top of the gear on the other side of the platform, allowing Hazel to cross.

Follow the platform ahead, where Hazel needs to weave another platform to continue. Cross over it, then move forward and use the wall run to cross the next gap. After that, Hazel must jump through a damaged section between two cogs to proceed.

After crossing the two broken cogs, use your grapple to move across, then cross another broken cog on the other side. Here is a Floof above you but you can’t reach it from here.

18/19 – I’m Trying – Readables Collectible

Go up from the Floof, and you’ll find Readables Collectible 18/19 on a small wooden table.

Next is a wall run through a broken cog where you can reach the area to get that Floof from before. Summon the horizontal cog to the left, then cross over to the corner of the room to collect the Floof.

Return to the main platform and summon the cog again. Use the handles to lift yourself to the next level. Once there, look down and summon the cog one more time to use the next set of handles.

Keep following the path across with a grapple to a brighter area, where you have to climb further up on top of the horizontal cog.

Climb up a weight, then jump through a broken cog to climb up a second weight. Then, go further along to the right until you reach the top of this weight, where you can see a Floof glowing. Jump through the broken cog, climb up the weight, and drop down at the other side to get it.

Climb back up to the top of the weight after collecting the Floof. Next is the Sigma Zone at the top of the Clocktower.

5. Reach the Cabaret

After defeating the Stigma, leave through the lit door.

19/19 – You Gotta Release It – Readables Collectible

Before using the wind tunnel to get there, walk to the back of the clock tower to find the last Readables in Chapter 12: Crossroads and a Floof.
