In Chapter 1, trace each object to the machine, lock, or robot that receives it. If the portal is still closed, inspect the unfinished device instead of searching the scenery again. This route follows the February 2025 mobile capture and ends after Webs of Peril, when the first chapter node is complete.
Read each scene as a chain, not a scavenger hunt
Every Chapter 1 scene has three layers. Loose tools open the first container or panel; that container supplies a part for a larger machine; the repaired machine exposes the portal or the last confrontation. The camera can rotate around the small planet, so an item that appears to have no destination usually belongs on the unseen side. Batteries improve the level rating, but the portal is the completion gate. Missing one battery should not make you dismantle a solved route from memory.
Follow these five recognizable checkpoints in order:
- Grandpa’s garage and the first emergency call.
- Gate of Change, the garden with the red circular gate.
- Jurassic Joyride, built around a dinosaur skeleton and egg.
- A dark shrine where a damaged robot must be rebuilt.
- Webs of Peril, the cave and spider encounter.
That order is also your recovery map. If the chapter screen highlights a different node, do not apply a later scene’s solution to the current miniature.
Grandpa’s garage: make the workbench reveal the portal
Begin by rotating the garage before operating the obvious console. The desk, lockers, boarded opening, radio equipment, and workbench are separate interaction zones. Pick up the loose hand tools and power cells you can reach, then test each tool against a matching physical obstacle. The saw belongs with wooden boards; a small key belongs with a lock; a battery belongs in a powered housing. Tapping the radio repeatedly without restoring the chain does not advance the call.
Once a panel or cabinet opens, recheck both its interior and the floor immediately below it. Tiny parts can land against the edge of the planet and look like decoration. Feed the recovered component into the workbench assembly, then use the terminal marked by the wireless symbol. The terminal opens a connection puzzle rather than accepting another inventory item.
In the wireless mini-game, route the active robot to its goal while keeping the colored paths from blocking one another. Plan from the destination backward: reserve the narrow approach first, then move the other piece out of that lane. If a move creates a closed pocket, use the on-screen reset instead of trying random loops. Continue only when the terminal’s success indicator shows that the machine is powered.
Return to the planet view after the connection succeeds. The portal effect should now be visible. Before entering it, make one final rotation for any battery that became reachable when the boards or cabinet opened. If the portal does not appear, inspect the workbench for an empty socket; that is a stronger failure signal than a missing star on the results screen.
Gate of Change: separate the gate mechanism from the color sorter
The red gate has a circular black-and-white mechanism, but the nearby tubes are their own puzzle. Treat them as two linked jobs. Search the garden structures and small chest for the key or handle that wakes the physical gate assembly. Then solve the colored-ball tubes to release the part that the assembly is still missing.
The tube rule is visible from the pieces: a ball can move only onto an empty tube or onto the same color, and you need each finished tube to contain one color. Preserve at least one empty tube as working space. A safe method is to finish the color already closest to a complete stack, park its tube, then expose the buried color in another tube. Filling every tube halfway with mixed colors is the failure state; reset before the top balls lock one another.
After the sorter finishes, return to the gate and fit the released part into the circular face. Operate the completed halves in the order the mechanism now allows rather than trying to copy a fixed tap sequence. The gate opening and the portal forming behind it are the two readbacks. If the sorter says complete but the gate stays inert, a physical piece from the chest or rear garden is still in inventory.
Jurassic Joyride: copy the scene’s symbols before turning anything
The fossil area mixes an egg, a skeleton, a liquid machine, and a symbol lock. The symbols are a clue, not background art. Record their order before rotating away; on a small screen it is easy to remember the right shapes in the wrong direction. Use the matching input on the machine or door, then collect the tool or container that appears.
Repair the oil or liquid dispenser as a complete chain: attach the missing control, place the receiving vessel, then open the flow. Opening the tap before the container is positioned only produces an animation, not the inventory item you need. Carry the filled item to the dinosaur-side mechanism and look for a change in the egg or skeleton setup.
The board puzzle in this scene is movement-based. Clear a route through the open squares and use the marked pads as destinations; do not try to defeat or collect every small robot. Commit one robot to a pad, then route the next around it. If a placed robot blocks the only corridor, reset the board and reverse the order. Back in the scene, use the newly released piece on the final dinosaur assembly. The portal is the proof that both the physical machine and the board puzzle have registered.
Rebuild the shrine robot by socket, not by color alone
The next dark scene can look like a boss room, but its core task is repair. Explore the skulls, crystal fixtures, and the large turtle-like machine until you uncover the robot components. The component colors help, but the shape and connector orientation determine the correct socket. If a limb snaps back to inventory, rotate the robot and check the opposite side instead of forcing the same slot.
One console opens a line-routing mini-game with two robots. Establish the two endpoints first and avoid crossing an already claimed route. A path that reaches the right side but isolates the other robot is not a solution. Reset early when you create that isolation; the board is small enough that preserving the central junction is more valuable than maximizing immediate distance.
Complete the robot only after the console and crystal apparatus are live. The rebuilt figure supplies the last scene response and opens the portal. The customization reward shown afterward is a reward screen, not another required object search.
Webs of Peril: prepare the cave before touching the spider
Rotate the cave and collect the potion-like container, orb or helmet component, and any tool exposed around the web supports. The spider occupies the center of attention, but the side machinery creates the safe opening. Clear reachable webbing with the tool that visibly matches it, then power the apparatus that holds or aims the orb.
A placement puzzle controls part of that apparatus. Move the pieces so the required object can reach its marked position; reserve a retreat square before advancing the central piece. If you can reach the target only by trapping the second piece, the board state is incomplete. Use reset and solve the bottleneck first.
Back in the cave, attach the prepared components and trigger the machine. Wait for the spider to enter the exposed or stunned state before using the final action. Tapping the creature while the web apparatus is still dark will not substitute for the setup. The destruction animation, the Manager aftermath, and the chapter-node transition are the reliable completion sequence.
Use visible failure signals to recover quickly
- Inventory item will not attach: rotate to the opposite side and match the connector shape as well as the item’s theme.
- Mini-game looks almost solved: check whether one route or color is sealed behind another. Resetting is safer than preserving a dead board.
- Three batteries but no portal: batteries are rating collectibles. Find the unfinished socket, dark terminal, or unopened physical container.
- Portal visible but result is not perfect: finish the scene, then replay for the missed battery. Do not confuse optional cleanup with chapter progression.
- Steam controls differ: this route was observed in the February 2025 mobile build. Use the current client’s interaction prompt while preserving the same object dependency.
Use the Chapter 1 video to locate small parts
The Chapter 1 video from App Unwrapper is a public 13:50 capture of the same route. Use it as a visual locator when two small parts blend into the scenery.
Check the current client before copying exact inputs
The walkthrough index lists all seven chapters and the corresponding video. The January 14, 2026 PC release, current identity, developer, publisher, official screenshot, and chapter achievement structure appear on the official Steam page. This route uses visible checkpoints because exact mobile taps and optional rewards may behave differently in later clients.
Continue with Chapter 2: Grandpa’s Friends after the Webs of Peril result has returned you to the chapter map.
