Finish once to unlock chapter select. Individual scenes can advance before an optional action is done, but every trophy can be recovered by replaying its chapter.

Your route to completion

Start with Radio in Roadmap. The six route sections follow the game's six chapters. Read each section before playing that chapter so you know which objects to leave alone until its optional trophies are done. The linked trophy names open the exact actions. Use Trophies when you want to look up a single solution.

Follow the journey once, collecting the thirteen optional interactions along the way:

  1. Radio and Train: catch the ice, radio and skyline interactions, then throw the coins away before buying the tickets.
  2. Boat and Building: finish the optional stops before docking at the island, opening the curtains or starting the escalator. The roadmap puts these stops in order.
  3. Kelp and Carousel: read Sink And Swim before entering the pool and Mirror, Mirror... before moving any mirror pieces. Finish the story for Home Sweet Home.

After the ending, chapter select lets you recover anything missed. Return to the title screen and press Options button, then choose the matching chapter image. Replay starts at the beginning of that chapter. You don't need another full playthrough.

Radio: ice, images and lights

Use the left stick to move the cursor and Cross button to interact. Hold Cross button while dragging objects.

Our first three stops are the glass, the radio and the skyline. Follow Empty Your Cup before pushing the ice to the bottom, Surfing the Radio Waves before tuning to the last station, and Glow Up before pulling down the sun. Once those are done, continue the scene normally.

Empty Your Cup

gold · optional

Remove all ice cubes from the glass

At the glass of water, flick all three ice cubes onto the table so they are outside the glass together.

Hold Cross button on a cube, draw it partway down, then quickly flick the stick upward and out over the rim. Repeat promptly because cubes melt and return.

Do not drag a cube to the bottom. That locks it into the story interaction and prevents this attempt. If that happens, finish the game and replay the Radio chapter.

Surfing the Radio Waves

gold · optional · collectible

View all the images available in the radio.

Turn the dial clockwise from the left. There are seven large peaks on the display. At each of the first six, stop when a picture appears. Press the second and third buttons from the left on top of the radio once each to see both changes, then tune to the next peak.

After the sixth picture, turn the dial to the seventh peak to finish. Reaching it ends the scene. If you skipped a picture, replay Radio after the credits.

Glow Up

gold · optional

Light up the crane and billboard at sunset

When the view moves to the city skyline, leave the sun alone. On the right, press the billboard once and the crane three times, until both are illuminated. You can then pull the sun down to continue.

Use the Radio chapter if you need another attempt.

Train: throw the coins first

Earn Hopping the Turnstile before putting any coins in the machine. Once both coins return, insert them in the coin slot.

  1. Below the slot, press the yellow adult button, then the yellow child button.
  2. Press the green ticket button on the right twice. It prints one ticket per press.
  3. Turn the stamp dial until five blue waves face you. Slide one ticket under the stamp, pull the handle down and put the stamped ticket in the slot on the right. Repeat with the second ticket to continue.

Hopping the Turnstile

bronze · optional

Try to avoid paying the train fare.

At the train ticket machine, grab each of the two coins and fling it off the side of the screen before inserting it into the machine. They return, so you can keep trying until both throws register.

After the trophy unlocks, insert the returned coins. Select the adult and then the child using the two yellow buttons. Press the green ticket button twice to print both tickets. If you already spent the coins before earning the trophy, replay Train after the credits.

Boat: four optional stops

Get Wood war before completing the dock, then Siren Song at the boat controls. On the chart, find all four buoys for Oh Buoy! before docking at the green island.

At the end of this chapter, circle the submerged photograph with the mother fish for Bubbling Over before touching the photo itself.

Wood war

gold · optional

Knock the other wooden planks into the water

At the broken dock, leave the six loose planks floating above the gap. Grab one with Cross button, drag it just below the surface over the gap and release so it falls into the water. It can knock another plank down on the way and will float back up. Work across all six different planks so you drop each one at least once.

Dragging a plank all the way down fits it into the bridge. Finish the bridge after the trophy unlocks. If you have already built it, replay Boat after the credits.

Siren Song

silver · optional

Listen to the music through the microphone.

At the boat dashboard, insert the key and turn it to the right. Press both orange buttons and the green button. Leave the large lever on the right alone until the trophy unlocks.

Hold Cross button to grab the small black microphone to the left of the wheel. Move it in front of the larger speaker and hold it there until you hear music and the trophy unlocks. If it doesn't trigger, move the microphone around the speaker while keeping it held.

Then pull the large lever to continue. If you've already left the dashboard, replay Boat after finishing the story.

Oh Buoy!

gold · optional · collectible

Find all the secrets floating in the map

On the boat's map, reveal four red buoys before docking. Move the boat through their locations:

  1. Search the lower-right water for two separate buoys.
  2. Search the upper-right water for the third.
  3. For the last buoy, travel through the water above the green island, then down its left side. Search just below the island in the lower-left water. Keep away from the dock projecting from the island's right side, as reaching it ends the search.

A buoy becomes visible when the boat reaches it. Sweep each patch of water until the buoy appears, then move to the next. Once all four are revealed and the trophy unlocks, sail to the island's dock.

If you dock too early, finish the story and replay Boat.

Bubbling Over

gold · optional

Swim in a circle around the photo as the mother fish

After the photographs sequence, the final golden photo sinks underwater. Grab the pink mother fish while it is away from the photo, then guide it in broad circles around the picture.

Keep circling until the bubbles form a complete ring and the trophy unlocks. Do not move the fish into the photograph first, as that advances the scene. Then touch the photo to continue. Replay Boat for another attempt.

Building: check the side objects

Activate the fan before opening the curtains for Fan Service. In the storage area, knock the umbrella into its box for Knock 'Em Down before using the light.

Later, after the office and television scenes, play with the hanging dolphins for Flipper Friend before starting the escalator. This is the last optional stop before the kelp section.

Fan Service

silver · optional

Activate the pinwheel.

At the underwater building exterior, look left of the hanging curtains. Hold Cross button on the fan so it blows onto the little pinwheel. Keep it running until the pinwheel spins and the trophy unlocks.

Do this before opening the curtains. For cleanup, replay the Building / Fish Billboard chapter.

SourcesJohnny Salib / FlamingGaymer · Optional interactions

Knock 'Em Down

gold · optional

Knock down the umbrellas in the box

In the storage room with stacked boxes, leave the lightbulb alone. On the right is a lone umbrella above the box containing the others. Tap that umbrella repeatedly until it drops into the box and the trophy unlocks.

Then turn on the light to continue. The scene is in the Building / Fish Billboard chapter.

Flipper Friend

bronze · optional

Play with the dolphin models

After the television scene, you enter a dim indoor area with an escalator. Before activating it, look toward the upper-right corner for the hanging dolphin models.

Grab and pull them downward, repeating the interaction until the trophy unlocks. Only then use the escalator. Replay the Building / Fish Billboard chapter to reach this room again.

Kelp: keep swimming

Continue through the podiums, shower and room scenes. When the book opens onto the swimming pool, follow Sink And Swim and keep swimming through the fade. I recommend reading that solution before starting the pool, as replaying this chapter takes longer than the earlier sections.

Sink And Swim

gold · optional

Swim the whole length of the pool without floating up

The last page of the book in Kelp opens onto a swimming pool. At the pool edge, tilt the left stick down and hold Cross button. Keep both inputs held as you dive and swim.

The screen goes black before you reach the far wall. Keep both inputs held through the blackout until you reach the wall and the trophy unlocks. If you surfaced and missed it, replay Kelp from chapter select after finishing the story.

Carousel and cleanup

Light the coral and all six lamps around the carousel. Follow Mirror, Mirror... before moving any mirror pieces. Finish the journey for Home Sweet Home.

If something is missing, return to the title screen and press Options button to open chapter select. Choose the relevant chapter image and repeat its trophy action. Our route headings follow the game's sequence, with the dolphins before the escalator and the swimming challenge in the kelp chapter.

All Done!

platinum

Unlock all trophies.

Unlock the other fourteen trophies. Home Sweet Home is the story completion, while the remaining thirteen are optional interactions. None requires a second full playthrough.

If the platinum is still locked after the ending, use Options button on the title screen to replay the chapter containing your missing trophy.

Mirror, Mirror...

gold · optional

Fix the mirror in one attempt.

After lighting the carousel's six lamps, you must rebuild its oval mirror. Every piece must be placed correctly on its first release. Picking one up and putting it back at the side also spoils the attempt.

Study the pieces before grabbing them. Match each smooth curved edge to the corresponding outer edge of the oval, then match the jagged inner edges. The loose piece at the top left belongs in the centre, so leave it until the surrounding pieces define its gap.

There is no need to rush. Once you grab a piece, keep holding Cross button until it is aligned with its destination, then release. If you make a wrong placement, replay the Carousel chapter for a fresh attempt.

Home Sweet Home

gold · unmissable

Finish the whole journey

Finish all six chapters. After repairing the mirror, tap it to advance through the pictures. When the view pulls back, hold Cross button and move the left stick right to turn the carousel. Let the cutscene play. When the trophy shelf appears, drag the trophies aside to finish the story.

Any optional trophies you missed can be earned from chapter select after the ending.
