Demo Walkthrough: Areas, Recorded Route & Verification

Quick answer

The June demo expanded from 75 to 100+ puzzles; community campaign-counter evidence supports 105 for its expanded form. The four-world design explains the different rules, but it does not establish a mandatory hero → mirror → cave unlock order. This guide separates third-party recording order from game requirements.

Four areas and a recorded route

Two independently authored public recordings give useful navigation anchors. Tesla Coil’s 4:36:29 Part 1 says it begins with the tutorial, spends substantial time in Heroes of Hauling, then reaches Mirror Isles; its Part 2 continues separately. Cappa Games publishes a 10:00:54 video titled “105 Levels Complete,” with The Promise visible as a chapter at 3:50:00. These are third-party gameplay records, not site gameplay.

PairingPears additionally labels its June footage with these chapters:

Video position	Author’s chapter label
00:04:23	Hearty Heroes of Hauling
01:31:51	Mirror Isles
02:31:10	The Promise
03:21:15	Druid
03:36	Bard
03:43	More Mirror Isles
04:14	Northeast area

These are navigation points into the creator’s recorded run, not proof of required prerequisites or current-build compatibility. The creator describes the footage as edited down from a longer session. The section labels and approximate later timestamps must not be converted into an uninterrupted timed run.

Read the overworld before choosing a solution

The press preview describes fog revealing the connected overworld. Use landmarks and the community map’s pictured board to identify where you are. Returning to an earlier area is an option to investigate; the sources checked here do not establish which particular return paths or unlocks are required.

Walls and failure checks

• Dragon board: a June help exchange discusses pushing/pulling a dragon and preserving one monster. Match that board before adopting its advice; the comment is not a complete route.
• Mirror board: establish the file-name/map entry first. The old draft’s clone-distance recipe was not supported by the checked original discussion.
• Counter mismatch: after a final solve, move a few steps before reopening campaign progress. If the count is still low, switch campaign or restart, then compare a known optional board. This is a limited community diagnostic, not a universal repair.

Verification boundary

The missing work is specific: a named-board match, starting overworld position, prerequisite proof, continuous moves, success feedback, and a failed attempt with recovery. Site screenshots/GIFs are still absent. For a named full route, this site requires either that site capture or two independently authored, version-checkable continuous records; the chapter map alone is not enough.
