Full Workthrough

1. Interact with the sword on the desk to obtain the sword item
2. Drag and drop the sword to the locked left arrow to cut off the lock on the left arrow
3. Go to the left, click on the glue bottle to obtain the glue
4. Apply glue to the broken right arrow on the right side of the scene
5. Open the settings menu, find that useless right arrow with a small crack (which is actually at the left side), use the sword to cut off the right arrow’s head to obtain the arrowhead item
6. Stick the arrowhead on the broken right arrow on the scene to repair the right arrow button
7. Go to the right, realize that the keyboard is missing a key “S” that is required to type the credentials
8. Go to settings, click the “S” of the “Sword” repeatedly to make the “Sword” become a “word” and obtain the “S” item. The sword becomes a Text Bubble with the word “Heavy Metal.
9. Click on the screen, it prompts for username and password. You can find the password hint at the very left by interacting with the folded paper at the top left corner
10. Put the “S” into the keyboard’s missing key and type in the username and password obtained from the credits, and then press LOGIN. The username is the Game Designer’s first name, “WOLKS” and the password is “WORKS”
11. In the credit menu, you can also see that the “ART” in the “ARTIST” section is a bit different from the rest of the credits. You can click on it repeatedly, and it drops and becomes the “ART” item
12. Press the obtain salary button on the computer screen, and an envelope drops in front of you.
13. You opened it, and it contains only one paper with “100” written on it.
14. Put the “100” in the empty slot of the “Music Vibration” option, and put the “Heavy Metal” Text Bubble into the empty slot of the “Background Music” option, switch the BGM to “Heavy Metal” and turn vibration to “100.”
15. The entire scene shakes violently for a few seconds, and then waits for the cutscene to finish.
16. After a glitch transition, the desk becomes even messier. You can now find the “T” item from the shards of the broken vase.
17. Put “S”, “T”, and “ART” into the empty slot for the start button.
18. Press the repaired start button, and the game finishes.
