Lyle is an individual who lives in Apartment 21. He is passionate about photography and develops his own photos in an at-home darkroom. Although he is shy, friendly and courteous and eager to assist Sam in particular, he is quickly revealed to be a stalker and creep. In battle, he is called the Shutterbug. He is unwilling to let the player enter his darkroom, as he is keeping secretly taken photos of Sam inside, but will offer to develop an Exposed Photo for the player himself, taking a day. He will not be harmed by the photo of the Visitor, as he has already witnessed it. Lyle claims to have worked with Sam at a convenience store in the past. Sam's memory of this period, however, seems to be hazy at best. He is also the one who took Sam's spare apartment key from the planter in the hall; it can be found in his darkroom.
