100% Completion now tied to NG+ ?

[Nhyanma]

So I still haven't started a new game + and my current score is still 99% telling me to look for more data, but I've basically collected all that can be found ( Scab, Milk molars, folders, skeletons, etc. ) Do I need to unlock some new data locked behind new+ ?

Have you found:
* All Points-of-Interest; re-check your counters
* All Sca.B Schemes
* All the new Recipes
* All the new Creatures

The 1.4 NG+ Update added some of these items/tasks...

There is already an updated (spoiler) thread on 100% completion Post-1.4 Update...

Oh my god nevermind, I just got it !
I just went through the wiki and the ONE thing I was missing was the "Hastily Written Note" of the fifth missing kid who was locked in the case with us. So to answer my own question, no, it isn't recquired to start new game + to get the 100% score.

the only new thing that you need to grab to get 100% in NG is the note.
it's just that in NG+ you need to get more NG+ exclusive stuffs to get 100%. but there's really no point.
