All five badges and how to approach them
Check
There are five official badges in total. One is handed to you for free, two come from the two main endings, one rewards a specific in-run action, and one is hidden. Going for all five will take more than one run.
- Joined no effort needed, just start the game and it unlocks on its own
- ESCAPED finish the run by getting out alive rather than getting caught
- CAUGHT reach the ending where the cultists catch you instead of escaping
- Hero tied to a specific decisive action during the run, described in the badge as a cold-hearted shot, so look for a moment that matches that description
- Secret the badge gives almost nothing away, so search the map carefully on a dedicated run and try actions outside the obvious story path

Common questions
FAQCan I play this alone?
The game supports one to four players, so solo runs are possible.
How long does one run take?
The game is explicitly designed as a short experience, so a single run wraps up quickly.
How do I get the Secret badge?
The badge itself only hints that it involves a hidden condition. Dedicate a run to exploring the map thoroughly and trying actions that fall outside the main story path.
