Snafu

Home Town

You will begin the game viewing a blank platform, which shows your empire. Alibaba will give you a brief introduction. Buy from each of the 3 podiums here (you will need to wait a bit to be able to afford the last one):

• Purchase First Business (Rank D, Level 1)
• A Flashlight (Rank D, Level 1)
• Purchase Second Business (Rank D, Level 2)

You will see that each of these podiums will sell out after a single purchase. Most of the other podiums you will find can be used multiple times until they are sold out. There is also a large vault in this room, but you don't know the code for it yet. Go to the door and unlock the barrier here (Rank D, Level 3).

Exit the Headquarters. Enter the opposite building, which is where you purchase ads for your empire. There are a series of podiums on the two levels of this building, which you can gradually collect over time. These will require different ranks and levels to be able to use:

• Small Ads (Rank D, Level 3, 10 uses)
• Large Ads (Rank D, Level 4, 10 uses)
• Television Ads (Rank C, Level 10, 15 uses)
• Blimp Action (Rank S, Level 45, 10 uses)

Remember to come back here later to complete the purchases from these podiums. If you return to the Headquarters, you will see that your empire has been expanding with the ads you have purchased. Go back outside and approach the gate leading towards the large castle. Unlock the barrier here (Rank D, Level 6).

By this stage you will most likely have reached level 10 Learning the ropes.

Outer Realm

There is a bank on the right - inside you will find a key (1/4) and a single podium that changes as you use it:

• Remove Cash Restriction (Rank D, Level 10)
• Remove Cash Restriction (Rank A, Level 30)
• Remove Cash Restriction (Rank S, Level 50)
• Remove Cash Restriction (Rank SS, Level 80)

The next building over to the left is the Rank Shop. This tall, narrow building has a series of podiums on platforms that you need to jump to reach. You will only be able to reach the higher platforms once you upgrade your jump:

• Upgrade Your Rank (Rank D, Level 6)
• Upgrade Your Rank (Rank C, Level 15)
• Upgrade Your Rank (Rank B, Level 25)
• Upgrade Your Rank (Rank A, Level 45)
• Upgrade Your Rank (Rank S, Level 60)

There is another building behind this one, which is an office building. Inside you will find 4 podiums that further upgrade your empire:

• Hire a Sales Person (Rank D, Level 6, 25 uses)
• Hire an Accountant (Rank C, Level 9, 10 uses)
• Hire a Lawyer (Rank B, Level 15, 10 uses)
• Hire an Investment Banker (Rank A, Level 30, 10 uses)

Remember to come back here later to complete the purchases from these podiums. Further behind this building is a podium outside that lets you restart the entire game:

• Reset Game - Start Over (Rank D, Level 1)

By this stage, Alibaba will have been captured and taken to the castle, and you will have seen several bodies and lots of blood, as well as an increasing number of glitches appearing throughout the game world. You can now head up the slope towards the large castle. Unlock the barrier here (Rank B, Level 18).

Upper Realm

Continue up the small slope (or use the wooden stairs). At the very back of this level is a building in the shape of a camera. Enter this to find 2 podiums:

• Purchase a Camera (Rank B, Level 20)
• Sell Your Photo Captures (Rank A, Level 25, 20 uses)

Once you purchase a camera, look out for Snafu and try to take a photo of him (not just out roaming around, but during specific events). Go back down to where you first reached the Upper Realm. Enter the building straight ahead, which contains 3 podiums that upgrade the products in your empire:

• Product Improvements Materials (Rank B, Level 18, 10 uses)
• Product Improvements Equipment (Rank A, Level 25, 10 uses)
• Product Improvements Training (Rank S, Level 50, 10 uses)

Around to the left side of this building there is a much smaller materials building. Inside is a single podium:

• Materials Shop (Rank B, Level 20, 40 uses)

Beyond this is a large warehouse. Go inside and get ready to take 2 photos (2/20). There are 2 podiums here:

• Warehouse (Rank A, Level 30)
• Warehouse 2 (Rank A, Level 35)
• Warehouse 3 (Rank S, Level 55)

You won't be able to reach the third podium until you have fully upgraded. Go back outside and head around towards the right side of this level to find a single podium out in the open. This will change as you use it:

• Purchase Land (Rank B, Level 20)
• Build Home (Rank B, Level 25)
• Upgrade Home (Rank A, Level 38)

Now explore the house and take at least 4 photos (6/20), also finding another key (2/4). Leave this building and go up the slope again. Find a large stone platform with a barbell on it. There are 3 podiums here, which upgrade your sprint speed:

• Increase Sprint Speed (Rank B, Level 20)
• Increase Sprint Speed (Rank S, Level 50)
• Increase Sprint Speed (Rank SS, Level 65)

Just to the right is a small building that contains a single podium:

• Increase Level By 1 (Rank A, Level 35, 5 uses)

You can now head up the next large slope towards the large castle. Unlock the barrier here (Rank A, Level 45).

By this stage you will most likely have reached level 50 Expert Player.

Higher Realm

Find another stone platform on the right with a barbell on it. There are 3 podiums here, which upgrade your jump height:

• Increase Jump Height (Rank A, Level 45)
• Increase Jump Height (Rank S, Level 50)
• Increase Jump Height (Rank SS, Level 70)

There are 2 small buildings to the left of here. The smaller one contains a single podium:

• Materials Shop (Rank B, Level 20, 30 uses)

The larger building contains 4 podiums:

• Improve Materials Tier 2 (Rank B, Level 45, 15 uses)
• Improve Equipment Tier 2 (Rank A, Level 50, 15 uses)
• Automate Procedures (Rank S, Level 55, 10 uses)
• New Product Line (Rank SS, Level 65, 15 uses)

Now turn around and enter the tall apartment building opposite. Go up 1 flight of steps to find this podium:

• Purchase a Corporation (Rank A, Level 45)

Go up another flight of steps and get ready to take 2 photos (8/20). There is also another podium:

• Purchase a Corporation (Rank S, Level 60)

Continue up the next flight of steps and find a key (3/4) in some shelves. Go up the final flight of steps to find another podium:

• Purchase a Corporation (Rank SS, Level 75)

At this stage you will be unable to progress further, as you will be stuck on Rank A, so head back down to the Outer Realm. Approach the Rank Shop and you will be trapped in a cage. Snafu will talk to you, then the NPCs will approach and kill you.

Upgrading

Spend a while now returning to the Rank Shop to upgrade to Rank SS, and grinding to fully use each of the podiums up to and including the Higher Realm. To reach all of these, you will have to upgrade your sprint speed and jump height fully.

Once you are ready to proceed, head up the next large slope from the Higher Realm, further towards the large castle. Unlock the barrier here (Rank S, Level 65).

The Peak

There are 2 small buildings on the right. The first one contains 2 podiums:

• Hire Senior Employees (Rank S, Level 65, 15 uses)
• Hire Executives (Rank SS, Level 80, 15 uses)

The second building also contains 2 podiums:

• Hire Senior Executives (Rank SS, Level 90, 10 uses)
• Hire a New CEO (Rank SSS, Level 100)

Outside there is a stepped platform between 4 huge pillars that holds a single podium:

• Your Own Factory (Rank S, Level 70)

There is also a small building just to the side that holds one more podium:

• Increase Level By 1 (Rank S, Level 80, 5 uses)

By this stage you will most likely have reached level 100 Master Player. The large door to the castle is closed. The device on the ground to the right of the door needs a lever. There is a note to the left of the door that mentions the lever is inside a farmhouse in the Back Alleys. Head out to the viewing platform and quickly take 2 photos (10/20). Turn around and take another 3 photos (13/20).

There should be an active portal up here that will take you straight back down to the Home Town. Unlock the other barrier here (Rank S, Level 50). There is also another barrier to unlock, leading to another part of the Back Woods, from the Outer Realm (Rank S, Level 50). To start off, head out through the one in the Outer Realm.

The Back Woods

Go forward to find a "nice cozy little home" according to the sign outside. Approach the door, which has the symbol of a moon, and the numbers "21-7" written on it. Wait here until 21:00, and the door will open. Go upstairs and find the bathroom door with Simon behind it. Turn around and quickly take 2 photos (15/20) Photographer. Go back downstairs and search around until 6:00. Go back upstairs to find the bathroom door open. Head inside and pick up the small lever (1/2).

Return outside the house, and go around the right side of the Back Woods to find a long bricked tunnel. Head to the far end of this and jump onto the small rock. Jump up over a series of 3 progressively taller trees, then onto a horizontal stone platform. Head along this, then jump onto another series of trees to the right, until you are on top of the Rank Shop tree. There is another podium here:

• Upgrade Your Rank (Rank SS, Level 100)

Use this podium Legendary Rank. Drop down to the ground, and head back out to the Back Woods through the opened barrier from the Home Town. Go to the far left corner to find a tree with a hole in it. Talk to the tree person, who wants you to locate a gold bar. Continue further around to the left and you will find a small shack. Go inside and unlock the barrier (Rank SSS, Level 85). Go along the corridor and pick up the gold bar Treasure Hunter. You will be trapped inside here, so just wander along the corridor until you see Snafu. Quickly take up to 4 photos (19/20) before you die.

Head out to the Back Woods and go to the far left corner again. Give your gold bar to the tree person and you will receive another small lever (2/2). Return through the barrier to the Home Town.

Home Town

Return to your Headquarters and look at your empire. There are now 3 colored symbols on here. You need to use the grid positions of these symbols to unlock the vault:

Open the vault with the code 495476 Safe Cracker. Use the lever (1/5) that is revealed inside the vault (you will attach one of your small levers). Head out to the Back Woods.

Back Woods

Go out to the house where you found Simon. Just outside you will find the next lever (2/5) that you should pull. Next make your way to the Upper Realm.

Upper Realm

Go to the area behind the cylindrical tower and pull the lever (3/5). Continue up to The Peak.

The Peak

Use your remaining small lever on the mechanism to the right of the castle door, then wait as the door slowly opens. Go inside and open the door on the right to find a dining room. Grab another key (4/4) from the table. Exit this room and pull a lever (4/5) at the base of a closed spiral staircase. Explore the left side of the bottom floor - there is another door here that has "21-7" written on it, but it won't open yet.

Head forward to the courtyard and talk to Alibaba through the locked door - he will tell you to go back to the timed door and head upstairs. Go back there and it will now be open at night time. Head upstairs and get ready to take a photo (20/20) at the top. Search the rooms here until you find the large gun, then shoot it.

Keep searching to find another set of stairs, then climb up again. Search to find the last lever (5/5) to pull Spin Eternally. There is a doorway right next to the lever that is blocked by a glitch - remember this for later. Search the rest of this level and you will end up out on the ramparts outside.

Collecting Coins

There are a series of 15 coins that you can collect throughout the game world. You may have found most of these already, but here is the complete list:

1. In the Home Town, there is a coin just behind your Headquarters.
2. In the Home Town, there is a coin behind the ads building, protected by a large mousetrap.
3. In the Outer Realm, there is a coin behind the bank, protected by a large hammer.
4. In the Outer Realm, there is a coin on top of the bank, which can be reached by jumping from the nearby rock.
5. In the Back Woods, there is a coin within a long bricked tunnel, protected by a rolling boulder.
6. In the Back Woods, there is a coin upstairs in a bedroom in Simon's house (this uses a key).
7. In the Back Woods, there is a coin in the far left corner, behind the tree with the hole in it.
8. In the Higher Realm, there is a coin on top of the building where you upgrade materials, which can be reached by jumping from the nearby slope heading upwards.
9. In the Higher Realm, go to the top floor of the tall apartment building. Jump out the window to the left of the podium here. Run along the stone platform and jump down to the top of the tree to find a coin.
10. In the Upper Realm, enter the tall cylindrical tower. Jump progressively up about half way to find a coin.
11. In the Upper Realm, keep climbing up to the top of the cylindrical tower to find another coin Sky High.
12. At the Peak, run around the edge of the castle to find a wooden platform near the base of a large cannon. Run and jump off this, landing on a glitched beam below, then jump onto another wooden platform. Run along the stone platform to find a coin.
13. Inside the castle, you can use a key to open one of the small rooms from the dining room to find a coin.
14. Inside the castle, go up to the ramparts. Find a chair and jump from the adjacent ledge out to the spire in the middle. There is a coin on top of the spire.
15. Inside the castle, after pulling all 5 levers, the spiral staircase can be accessed from the bottom floor. Climb to the very top to get the last coin.

There is an achievement for finding all of these Coin Collector.

Endings

Make your way inside the building in the courtyard of the castle. Step forward and sit down in the chair. After a long wait, you will be killed by the spinning blades. From here, there are several ways to end the game.

The Worst Possible Ending

After re-spawning, take your time as the corruption sphere expands, then touch it.

A Bad Ending

After re-spawning, quickly go up to the castle and enter the building in the courtyard again. Unplug the computer Ending 1 - A bad ending.

A Decent Ending

The corruption will no longer be a problem after reaching the previous ending. After collecting all of the coins, go to the very large door behind Simon's house in the Back Woods. Insert all 15 coins into the small box, then jump into the purple portal Ending 2 - A decent ending.

The True Ending

The glitches will have all disappeared after reaching the previous ending. Go back up to the castle and find the doorway near the upstairs lever that was previously blocked by a glitch. Open the door and head inside Ending 3 - A great ending.
