This walkthrough is for the original version of the game, not the Director's cut update. The game changed a lot after this guide was written.

Judgement ending isn't working for me for some reason. I shoot the creature and nothing happens. Can't exit the basement via the ladder, and falling down the well after the creature is incapacitated just puts me on track for the other endings.

im so confused, im on day 2 and i get to the point where i get two bags of grain but when i go for a third it shifts to a creatures pov and i get attacked when i try and run away

Previous versions of the game had the medallion on the lighthouse balcony, in the current Director's Cut version the medallion is somewhere in the house. It's either somewhere inside or it drops in the kitchen after you fix the house completely.

Can I get some assistance? I've restarted the entire game a few times, thinking I've messed up somehow, but I've followed a few guides (including this one) to the letter and they all claim the same thing.

My problem:
I'm on Day 4 (Fog) now. The opening cinematic starts and I get out of bed. I pick up ONLY the Lighthouse Key then I leave the house without touching anything using the outside door.
I go straight to the lighthouse and enter it using the door.
I ascend the stairs, touch nothing and use to climb the ladder.
I turn to the door exiting to the lighthouse balcony and use it.
I walk around clockwise (to avoid scaring the seagulls) in search of the medallion on the balcony floor.
Alas I find absolutely nothing nowhere on the balcony.

Am I doing something wrong? Am I missing something?
The guide says not to fix my house and I end up not even touching anything but the necessities yet still no medallion.

It must be one of the "Director's Cut" changes then. Originally, when you play as the creature there is no rain (as far as I remember) and there's a passage open behind the lighthouse.

it also rains right at the end, where you say 'Chase after the man, if you want.
Go behind the Lighthouse.'

(The game has had an update that changed a huge chunk of the game, part of this guide is now obsolete)
If it's raining you're on day 3, which means you want to dig a dirt pile behind the lighthouse to find a medallion. Select the shovel and use it on the pile. You'll uncover the medallion. After inserting it into the chest go to the Three Tree area and dig a pile of dirt there.

Im at the last part where you say to 'go behind the lighthouse' -- I've been scrambling around behind the lighthouse for ages now and nothing's happened

the last cut scene seemed to pan around the tree area (where the church sometimes is)
was I supposed to do something there?
so hard to see with this rain...
