Guide: sectors, puzzles and tips

Start with the six community-labelled sectors, then open the puzzle you are stuck on. The campaign is about 10 to 15 hours, with 37 Steam achievements of which 28 are story checkpoints. The game itself does not publish a chapter list.

What I checked

I compared the sector names on the post-launch walkthrough wiki with achievement names on Steam. The names line up with the achievement conditions, but a Steam review also says Chapter 7-4, so I call the six names a community map, not an official chapter count.

Community sector order

Use this as a route, not as a claim that the pause menu says Sector 3.

Times are from a community guide, not the official FAQ. The FAQ only gives 10–15 hours for the whole game.

How to split the work

One of you should describe shapes and positions. The other should touch the panel. Say what changed: a light, a hum, a door. If you have been stuck for ten minutes, swap who describes before you swap the puzzle.

The rescue order I use is: stop touching things, describe the room again, swap describer, check both tools, walk back one checkpoint, and only then open a solution page.

Questions

How many chapters are official?

None are numbered by the studio in the sources I checked. Six sectors is a community label.

Are there 37 checkpoints?

There are 37 Steam achievements. Twenty-eight of them are story checkpoints.

Where do I go when I am stuck?

Open the puzzle index and match the prop in front of you: laser, cables, plants, wires, the 15-button panel.
