Can you backtrack at all into the colored kingdoms after finishing them?

[Leir]

As you guys know if you've been playing the game, getting the floppy disks is a big thing in the game. There must be one into every kingdom and I just finished the yellow one without retrieving the floppy disk I know is in there. Now it seems I'm locked out of that place, making the floppy disks totally missables. Is this really the case?

If it is, it's a big bummer and quite a turnoff to me. Theme and story are the two big things in this and the creator memories are the cherries on top of this game. Getting locked out of being able to get them turns me off so much I actually considered abandoning it. Not sure I actually will, but it's just not fun at all to have something like this.

I would like to know that too please.

Same here. Kind of put me in a bad mood. I want to get that first memory and I even had access to the floppy in the yellow Kingdom but now I can't even go get it, since I've finished it and it's not letting me go back. Really hoping that it will be possible later, otherwise that might be it for me for a good while and maybe some day I'll start from scratch. I really hope is not the case since the window to get it was tiny. I hate it when games do that.

Edit: started from scratch on the next day and got everything, confirmed the game, now I'm really eager to see what's next!

Yeah, same here friend. I feel like it's unnecessary to be so radical, but having something like this be so easy to miss and at the same time the game being so unforgiving about this totally turns me off. And I was enjoying the story, atmosphere and all, but the gameplay isn't that interesting to replay the whole thing just to collect this stuff.

I hope someone will come to tell me I'll still be able to backtrack, but if that's not the case I'll stop playing for now and let the game be for a while. Perharps eventually I'll be up to starting over from a new game.

You can't backtrack after completing all of the houses. Once you've completed the red house, the portals to those houses become locked and the game forces you to move on to the Capital for the end game. If you missed Floppy Disks in the secret rooms hidden in the houses, you need to replay the game again to rebuild the Creators' first memory which is also a requirement for collecting all memories.

Thanks for the answer friend. I guess I'll play something else for the rest of this week and try again from the beggining when I feel like it. It's still a nice game but missables are just something I seriously dislike.

it's a bit off topic, but do you know where the floppy disk in the yellow area is? i just finished the area and couldn't find any switches... i'll probably restart the game again but i would like to know where it is (i found some combination that i can use, but i'm not sure where to put them)

I do. In the yellow kingdom, you will come across one of these portals where your character will sit in a meditation like pose and you have to input a combination of simbols and colors to advance.

The regular combination is easy to obtain, but there's a secret one that you can get that, when you input on the very same portal, takes you to a different place where you can find the floppy disk.

If you've left the kingdom or walked on the macbook-horse-thing, you will not be able to backtrack to get this. Only way to get it now is replaying the whole game.

Thanks! I got the code but i was hoping for another area where i can input the code... i guess i was overthinking this. I'm on the red area now and apparently i also missed the blue one. Maybe you also need to do the same thing here. I'll try to replay the game again after i finished it so i can get the tricky ones in one swoop. Again, thanks for the info!

You're welcome. If you need any help with some of the missables and such, check out my guides over at the TrueAchievements website. I wrote a detailed guide (and some videos for boss fights) on both the Xbox and Windows 10 versions. They will ensure you know when look out for the Floppy Disks before going too far!

I'm likewise bummed there's no backtracking. :(

[Adhan]

I really wish the devs patch backtracking in at some point. I'd imagine it's something not that hard to do.

[aquatorrent]

Well, if it helps, you can skip the second area (the place before you transform into an animal) if you know the code that you need to put in the meditation thing. It shouldn't take a long time to reach the yellow area that way.

It took me ~4h to finish the game for a second time, and that's even after defeating the final boss. You can stop at the red area if you just want to get the floppy disk achievement - the memory that you unlock isn't worth it to get if you don't care about achievements. And no, there is no difference between finishing the game with and without the first memory unlocked.

[weremagnus]

Thanks for confirming that the ending isn't affected by whether or not you collect the secret memory, aquatorrent!

[aquatorrent]

Anytime :)

Now I know that you can't backtrack to the three houses, but can you backtrack to the starting area? I missed Rebuilding memories and now im sad
