Steam Full ReleaseBrowse Demo Areas →
The second deep-research area, past the darkness barrier in Old Woods.
Getting into Deep Woods
Deep Woods comes after Deep Mall in the confirmed Steam progression.
The way in is not one item: the release checks 2 conditions, and it does not treat any one of them on its own as enough.
How to Reach Deep Woods
The proven deep-area order: Mall, then Woods, then Catacombs.
Adrian chain: Tentacle Cleanup -> Tree Branch Cleanup -> Bone Cleanup
Mall Elevator Key
Deep Mall investigation

Entrances to Deep Woods
The records connect Deep Woods to Old Woods.
These are the recorded connections between areas; the list is not a promise of every door.
What to Do First
The records do not rank a route through Deep Woods, so this is not an order — it is the recorded parts that lead somewhere.
