Use the level table to jump to a room, check its collectible, and open the cited full walkthrough. The routes below summarize the chapter’s main mechanics; detailed hint pages are linked where available.

1.1 hands you the instant camera. After that the hub’s filter machine wakes up. The same room is where “Viewfinder”, “No copycaits!”, and the photo-count achievements start, and it is also where “Battery of Batteries” asks for the largest battery pile the first camera room allows. Tile 4 of the mahjong set sits on the table behind the start. 2.1 through 2.5 are the upside-down platform, the ground bridge (“Nope bridge” snaps the cartoon rope), the stair photo, the ceiling teleporter, and the pillar that drops a battery. The jump powerup is in 2.5 according to the 100% Guides write-up and the Steam guide; “To reach new heights!” and “Low orbit” both hang off that pickup. The pickup location is described by those guides; its exact pedestal appearance is not established by the sources.

3.1 to 3.3 are short film and duplication rooms, including the balloon ride for “Hitching a ride”. 4.1 to 4.4 are the timer pads and power-line photos. A patch note made 4.2 cloudier, which is useful evidence that “Chapter 3 Level 4.2” is the in-game label. The detailed solutions for 4.3 and 4.4 cover the timer-and-upside-down teleporter, then the canvas wall. 5.1 to 5.5 are the illusion set — fake stairs, pixel maps, the Stonehenge postcard — and “Under the illusion” covers the whole run. Tile 7 is by the yoga-mat weights in 5.1, tile 2 is in the cave chest off the second pixel map in 5.3, and tile 5 is inside the postcard in 5.5.

Optional 6.x, not a Level 7

Optional 6.1 is the red-brick optical illusion, 6.2 the pillar garden, 6.3 the battery-and-camera illusion. An official patch note names “Chapter 3, Level 6.3”, which is why this page refuses GamesRadar’s “5-1 / 5-2 / 5-3” labels for the same rooms. The Japanese chapter guide and intoindiegames also list 6.1–6.3. Searches for “chi leung 7” do not match any row in those lists. I leave the query unresolved instead of pinning it to 6.3 or to a seventh hub. None of the seven mahjong tiles sit in 6.x. The full tile table is on mahjong tiles.

Questions

Is Chi Leung 7 a level?

No matching level appears in the IGN, Fandom, intoindiegames, or Japanese lists. Optional levels stop at 6.3.

Why do some guides say 5-1?

GamesRadar numbers the optional 6.x rooms as 5-1 to 5-3. This page uses the in-game 6.x labels.
