I seem to be stuck (Spoilers)
There are a few areas where I've seemed to hit a dead end, and any hints as to what directions I should move in would be great! So here we go:
1. I can't find the key to Trisha's music box or the drawer in her room
2. I have no idea where the keys to Bernard and Dorothy's houses are
3. The only "key" I have is Dr. Johnson's keycard but the power in the hospital is out (and I think I have some steps to take before I can get it back on).
4. I don't know the codes or where to find the codes for the Sheriff's cabinet, the safe in the mansion gallery, the desk in the study, the shed, and more.
A few of the guides I looked at online seem to have the wrong information. I saw that the code to the shed is supposed to be in a note from Trisha in Scott's chest but I can't find a note from her there at all. The only things I have in my inventory are the slim jim, the keycard, my badge, the letter from my boss, the flashlight, and the camera,so I don't really have many tools to work with. Any guidance is much appreciated!

P.S. This game is AMAZING. I got super tense when I heard the knocking in the mansion and when the power went out in the hospital but I completely freaked when I found Sofia waiting for me when I left Andrew's house . It got me good.

We're glad you are enjoying our game so far.
A few patches ago we made some changes to Act 1 to improve the flow of the game, because of this some items are moved around, therefore the guides that you find online may be outdated. The first thing you should be looking for is finding the code to the shed.
I'll give you a few hints, for now, let me know if you just want the answer.

The general location for the code is inside the Church
If you were to checkinside a desk in Scott's room,you will findScott's 1985 journal hinting the a secret location. On top of thedesk, you will find an airplane hinting the code for said location.

Bernard's key is in the gym locker in the mansion. Dorothy's is in Trisha's drawer. Sheriff's cabinet code is way later in the game. The safe in the gallery could probably be answered early on with a guess but it will flat out tell you later on. A hint for the desk in the study is in Bernard's house.

I hope that helped! I don't want to give too much away but message me if you want to know anything else! I just finished the game today!

@Zmerii @EQ Studios thank you both, the hints helped me get unstuck and finish the game! Now I’m working on getting all the achievements :) I can’t seem to get the ones for Here She Lies and Scott’s Secrets however, which I assume are finding the well and opening the secret room in the cabin respectively? I’ve done both of those things now but haven’t gotten the achievements

It seems that multiple people are having an issue with those two achievements we will look into it asap.

We fixed the bugs stopping the achievements being unlocked, and you are correct about how they should be obtained. Head to those locations after getting the new update and they should be unlocked.

The code for the safe i Scotts room stumped me for soooo long. I tried everything, I thought. I was fairly sure it was the airplane that was the key but I just couldn't get the code correct. Had to ask my GF and she was like "why haven't you tried this way? 3585 or 5385 "
In my head there had to be zeroes in those dates... :p

Thanks to devs for giving great tips without spoiling the fun!
We need more games like this btw. <3
