Follow the World 1 route without pretending we know later-world details that are not public yet.
Open walkthrough → 02A compact decision table for movement, hazards and changing spirit behavior.
Open mechanics guide → 03A local, printable checklist for milestones, route checks and a final collection sweep.
Open checklist →The official full-game listing confirms four unique worlds, but the deep walkthrough evidence available before unlock is concentrated in the demo’s World 1, The Panic Jungle. That is why this launch build goes deep on World 1 and keeps later-world pages off the site until full-release footage or official data exists.
See demo vs full-game scope
Check whether the route is asking for Happiness first. Current demo footage repeatedly uses the happy state for lighter, higher movement. If the platform depends on a creature instead, change the creature’s state rather than spending the emotion on Mono.
Sorrow is the first state to test. The tutorial footage describes Sorrow as the state that lets Mono melt through narrow gaps, and later sequences also use it around water traversal.
Do not think in damage-per-second terms. The Panic Jungle boss behaves like a state puzzle: collect the needed emotion, apply it to the correct target, reposition, then repeat.
The official Steam listing specifically says controller operation is required for 2-player mode. A creator comment that a controller is always required should not override the official wording.
