Level 4-1: 99 retries

When you start, notice the retry pillow. Get the pillow and immediately press Start and retry the level. Repeat this until you reach 99 retries.

New Rapunzel levels

Press Up, Down(2), Up(3), Down(4), Right at the Rapunzel arcade games title screen. The colors will change to confirm correct code entry. Repeat the code to disable its effect.

Reset step combo

Use the following trick to make completion of an entire level in one step combo easier. When your combo bar is almost fully drained, select "Undo" to reset the entire bar. This gives you a better chance at completing the level in one combo.

Secret Ninth Ending

You can view a secret ninth ending to the game by completing the "Axis Mundi Babel" challenges.

Text Replies Matter

There are usually about three variations in the way Vincent responds to his texts. The difference is most notable in the response's tone. The gamut of Vincent's feelings can go from indifference to abrasive to considerate - it all depends on how you want to convey his emotions.

You can view your answer options by pressing erase and then pressing enter. When you are satisfied with the first sentence, you can do the same with the second and the third. This allows you to tailor unique combination of responses that will give you either good or bad adjustments to the morality meter accordingly. So, play around with your texting options for a bit and figure out how you want to be perceived before you hit the Send button.

Unlimited Combo Meter

You can beat an entire level with one step combo pretty easily by using this exploit: When your combo bar is almost fully drained, press undo to reset the whole bar.

Unlimited Rapunzel Games

When you first get control of Vincent at the bar go to your phone and save. Then, head over to Rapunzel and play your 3 credits. The game saves after each level you complete but it is only saving your progress in the Rapunzel game and not in your main game save. Simply exit out to the Main Menu without saving after you leave the Rapunzel game and then reload. You will find yourself back were you left off at the Stray Sheep but still with your 3 credits for Rapunzel and you will be able to start at the next level in the game you last left off at.
