THE IMPOSSIBLE Walkthrough

Rebind Keys

edit: Game was updated so the script isn't necessary anymore.

I used an AHK script to make pressing the diagonals easier. The script below binds q, e, z, and c to the diagonals and x to down.

#NoEnv  ; Recommended for performance and compatibility with future AutoHotkey releases.
; #Warn  ; Enable warnings to assist with detecting common errors.
SendMode Input  ; Recommended for new scripts due to its superior speed and reliability.
SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir%  ; Ensures a consistent starting directory.

#ifwinactive ahk_exe impossible.exe
q::
send {up down}{left down}
sleep 50
send {up up}{left up}
return

e::
send {up down}{right down}
sleep 50
send {up up}{right up}
return

z::
send {down down}{left down}
sleep 50
send {down up}{left up}
return

c::
send {down down}{right down}
sleep 50
send {down up}{right up}
return

x::
send {down down}
sleep 50
send {down up}

Walkthrough

A line break within a level means the cube has stepped on a coloured tile. Always wait for the dialogue to finish before continuing as you can't move while it's going on.
Solutions work, but aren't optimised.

[Barmy Deer 𝝙]

I really love that symbol and the Ukrainian localisation in this game ДЯКУЮ

[S.T.A.R.S Leon S. K.]

Merci Grazie

[SAS]

THX!

[Brigg]

Thanks!!!

[ruslanvyborg]

Yes

[alphabetsoup]

Added a different font. Does that help?

[ruslanvyborg]

I can't see symbols on linux :(

[Indigo Jack]

If I could make a constructive critique, you really ought to include a screenshot of the puzzle at the starting position. The game never tells you which level you are, so unless you're counting from the start (which I didn't because I tried beating the game without help for the first ten or so levels), it's impossible to tell which level key to follow if you get stuck on a specific puzzle. I've tried every combination on the list that vaguely matches the only option I have at the start of the puzzle I'm stuck at and none of them work.

[Crossbourne]

Great guide!

[FavoR]

@Mixxiphoid once you complete the game, it will roll credits - just watch them until the end.
