Common questions
FAQI died in Chapter 1 to toxic gas — did I ruin my run?
Dying to the gas in the vent earns you the Camper badge, which is a real badge, but it means you did not escape that section cleanly. You can replay the chapter to earn the proper completion badge instead.
Why did the game shut down while I was playing?
Shutdowns mean the developers are pushing an update. Rejoin once the servers come back up and your progress from completed chapters should still be reflected in your badges.
Game updates can change what is on this page. If you spot something, get in touch and let us know.
