Final Chapter


Fully listen to all 35 conversations in the final chapter (starts after unlocking all 20 memories and entering the correct password: controlnanobots). Conversations marked with an asterisk (*) are easily missable since they don't have objects associated with them. They usually trigger upon entering rooms. Also, make sure to refer to the next two sections before focusing on this one.

To avoid missing a conversation by accident and therefore voiding the achievement, you can regularly backup you save files. They are located in 'AppData\Local\TheGap\Saved\SaveGames'.
