Even the Ocean: Speedrun Walkthrough

This guide is not intended for first-time players, as it’s probably not understandable without having an idea of how the game is, and contains spoilers since it’s a walkthrough after all. I don’t say anything about the lore or story but keywords are enough to ruin the experience.

This guide aims to provide short instructions on how to go through the game without having to read or understand the dialogue. It’s probably best though to have played once through the game.
With fast text, a full-mode run can be completed in 3 hours and a story-mode run (although there’s no achievement for that, but you may be after the story acts achievements) in 1 hour

You really want the fast text, it saves a ton of time. This guide is made to help you still go on without being able to read anything.

• Fast Dialogue/Act+Area Cards
• Skip Screen Fades
• Skip Death Animation

• Talking to npcs is useless unless stated otherwise
• For every power plant you must fill every receptor, and then interact with the console to solve a mirror puzzle where blue laser must go to blue and purple to purple
• Most locations in the overworld are hidden and only show by long-pressing the interact button near them

• high line = light energy metro “Apex Transit”
• low line = dark energy metro “Lower Area Transit”
• (low line, Murex Park, left) describes movement through city transport: take low line to Murex Park then go left

Following blue titles indicate the location to go to, you can refer to the maps this guide provides
This guide assumes you can find your way by yourself in the overworld (maps provided here)
Platforming-only parts are up to you, if you need a memory refresher don’t forget the junkyard in Whiteforge which is a training ground, and is available early
Other parts just mostly go right and platform a bit, this guide covers “puzzles” involving dialogues and backtracking movement.
