Revelation Quick Facts
This page is written as a focused chapter guide, not a copied transcript. It uses verified episode structure and collectible coverage, then tells you what to watch for while playing.
| Episode position | Episode 7 of 8. |
| Primary purpose | Prepare finale branches and preserve mission-critical information. |
| Best first-run goal | Do not experiment randomly; document exact state entering the finale. |
| Replay priority | Test late choices one at a time from Story Tree nodes. |
Step-by-Step Route Priorities
Follow these priorities before you replay the chapter. If you change a choice, keep QTE success, exploration, and survivor state as consistent as possible so the Story Tree result is readable.
| Step | Do this | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Final state log | Record survivors, deaths, injuries, evidence, and unresolved suspicion. | The finale needs a clean state snapshot. |
| Choice discipline | Change one late decision at a time during replays. | Revelation choices can become hard to interpret if you stack changes. |
| Mission context | Track ship, Earth, Cassiopeia, and crew priorities separately. | Ending value may depend on more than survivor count. |
| Collectibles | Check for late route-locked items before moving into Come True. | Finale cleanup is easier if the collectible route is already clear. |
Collectibles and Search Notes
Current collectible coverage lists 65 total collectibles across the game. Use this section as a route reminder, then use the dedicated collectibles page for exact cleanup.
- Look for late-game evidence before irreversible finale transitions.
- Separate story explanation clues from trophy collectibles.
- If an item appears only with a survivor alive, note that condition.
Route Warnings
- Do not change multiple route variables during a replay; test one choice, QTE result, or exploration path at a time.
- Check the Story Tree after the episode before assuming the final visible choice caused the outcome.
- If a character was isolated, treat later trust prompts as route-critical until evidence proves otherwise.
