Every missable in the game, bundled together with things I considered worth mentioning cause why not.

This guide is structured by location in the order you reach them. Spoilers. Obviously.

!!! IMPORTANT: Before you begin !!!

In order for this guide to be available this fast I have used the wiki for all names, these will be updated as I play the game myself to take my screenshots and fine-tune the details and format to match my other Pixel Remaster guides.

As a general rule just be careful if you are unsure about any area in the meantime and don’t be afraid to make use of multiple save slots, especially on on time only areas 🙂

WARNING: Currently the guide contains no spoiler tags, I will add them as soon as I can, if you do not want to be spoiled check later in the day.
