Basic Gameplan
The true ending relies on collecting all trinkets. So lets get started filling out your collection.
Apeirogon Notes
Since the maze is really hard to visualize and describe I have thought of some stuff to make it as easy as possible:
  • All directions are from the beginning of the maze.
  • If there is a corner, it wont be listed in the directions, just follow the path.
  • If there is a fork in the path, the directions will tell you which way to continue on.

for the vr achievement, use SAM(steam achievement manager), its easier and is fine according to steam support

Anyone have tips for Speedy Service? I can barely complete the minigame within the 90 second time limit the game shows, let alone do so with 10 seconds to spare.

Great Guide, used it for the VR Workaround, thank you!

If the VR achievement is not triggering for you, what worked for me was pressing ESC a few times until the game menu shows up on the screen.

Apparently getting the Drone Legend achievement is harder than it looks, hence:

Slight correction: I WAS still able to get the workaround to work, kind of. It still was stuck as a black screen, but by mashing the enter key I still got the achievement.
Revon 13 Jul, 2022 @ 10:18pm 
The VR workaround doesn't work. Whenever I try to open up the game in VR, all I get is a black screen.

@zEx Iris is at the farm and ViewTuber should be somewhere at the cold war location
sampy 22 Mar, 2022 @ 3:29pm 
I think the true ending is the scene that happens post-credits. Also yeah depending on order you do those two guys it seems like they might bug out and vanish.
zEx 22 Mar, 2022 @ 12:10pm 
I can't find the ViewTuber and Iris last location. They're fully disappeared. I saw Iris at NEMO and ViewTuber at maze but now they're nowhere.
