Chapter 1.
Level 1.1. Finishing the 1st level of the game is easy. Just walk through the level until you get to the area with 4 wooden bridges with a platform in the middle. Try and cross any of the bridges to find that the bridge will break, dropping you down to the area below. Here, just press the “Circle” button to rewind time until you are at the top again. Then, use any of the other 3 bridges to get to the platform in the middle. Here, grab the photo and place it (hold L2 and press R2). After placing the photo, enter it and use the teleporter to finish the level.
Level 1.2. In this level, you will have to place 3 batteries on the pad to activate the teleporter. The first battery is actually already on the pad. The second one can be found by going up the stairs (press “square” to pick it up and “square” again to drop it). The final battery can be found by picking up the photo to the right of where the second battery was. Place the photo and enter it to pick up the last battery. After placing all 3 of them on the pad, the teleporter will activate.
Level 1.3. First, go up the stairs and grab the photo. Then, rotate it and place it down to find the teleporter. The battery can be found inside the photo to the left of the teleporter.
Level 2.1. Inside, head right to find a photo of a bridge on the round table. Use it to cross the gap near the start. On the other side, pick up the next photo from the table and use it to get rid of the gate in front of you. After going up some stairs, go around to the right until you see another photo on the wall. Rotate this photo to make a ramp up to the platform in the corner where you can find the teleporter.
Level 2.2. First, go around to the right and take the photo of the blue sky. Use this to destroy the gate on your left and get the first battery. To get the second battery, grab the other photo and destroy the wall on your right (if you destroy the battery behind it, just rewind). After picking up the battery from inside the building, place the 2 batteries on the pad near the teleporter to activate it.
Level 2.3. Go down the stairs and grab the photo. Head back up and place it to start heading towards the platform with the teleporter on it. Inside, grab another copy of the photo and place it. Just repeat until you create a path to the teleporter (if this is your first time, you will go back to the lab after placing a few photos. There, you will just have to go to the end of the hall, deactivate all buttons and press them all again before getting back into the simulation).
Level 2.4. This level is really straightforward. Just pick up the pictures, place them, enter them and look for the next picture. The first one is straight ahead, the second can be found up the stairs, the third is in the pagoda, the fourth is behind the rock on the right of the desert, and the next is found inside the house. Then, after going through the halls of the castle, look left and pull the chain to lower the drawbridge and find the final picture that contains the teleporter to finish the level.
Level 3.1. First, grab the photo that can be found in front of you. Then, place it in the photocopier to get a copy of the photo. You will now be able to place down the 2 photos to get the 2 batteries needed to activate the teleporter.
Level 3.2. Grab the photo from the table, then place it in the photocopier to get another copy. Now, place one photo at the bottom of the stairs in a way that the “L” path in the photo makes a path to the bottom of the stairs. Then, place the other copy of the photo at the top in a way that the teleporter is the correct way up at the top.
Level 4.1. First, grab the photo from the table to the right of the sofa. Rotate it so that you are walking on the leaves. After dropping down, grab the photo from the table. Then, place it so that the table without any chairs is the correct way up. Go through and grab the next photo from the table. Place this photo in a way that the wooden floor with the paintbrush is at the bottom. Go through and grab the final photo from the table. Finally, look straight down and place the photo to get to the teleporter.
Chapter 2
Level 1.1. First, go right and make your way through the wooden building. Then, look back at the building from the correct position to form the picture. Next head back through the building to find a new building (formed by the picture). Go through the new building and out to the left. Here, stand in the correct position to form another picture. This picture will form a bridge allowing you to cross to the other side. Once on the other side, go to the right, then up the stairs on your left. Now look down at the picture of the teleporter at the correct angle to form it and use it to finish the level.
Level 1.2. Grab the picture from the table to the left of the ringing phone. Then, turn around and use the photo to destroy the end of the fence as well as the part of the wall that is sticking out into the area you are in (check the image below). You will then be able to go around the end of the fence to form the picture on the other side. Finally, stand in the correct position to form the teleporter from the second picture.
Level 1.3. Simple level. Just go around the level and press the 3 switches. Then, look at the 3 panels from the correct angle to spawn the teleporter.
Level 2.1. Go down the stairs and use the camera to take a photo of the stairs. Grab the photo, head up the stairs and place the photo of the stairs to get to the camera on the platform above. With the camera, take a photo of the teleporter. Rotate it and place it to use the teleporter.
Level 2.2. In this level, use the camera to take a photo. Use the structures in the photo to get across to the battery. Next, take another photo with the camera, rotate it and place it in front of the camera in a way that you have a platform right in front of the camera. Finally, place the battery on the new platform in front of the camera and take another photo to duplicate the battery. Place the batteries on the pad to finish the level.
Level 2.3. Take a photo with the camera. Then, use the photo to cut through the fence where the 2nd camera is found. Use the second camera to take a photo of the first camera. Then, place the photo of the camera in a position that would allow you to use the new camera to take a photo of the teleporter. Rotate the photo and place the teleporter down, allowing you to finish the level.
Level 3.1. First, grab the photo of the battery from the hanging towel. Now, head down the stairs and place the photo so that it covers the hole in the ground to the left of the broken picture. Next, take the battery from the first photo to get it out of the way. Then, form the broken picture to get the 2nd battery. You will now be able to use them to activate the teleporter.
Level 3.2. First, go around to the camera that is looking down on the pad and teleporter. Take a photo and place it out of the way (we will be using the new pad and teleporter to finish the level). Now, form the broken picture to spawn the battery. Use the camera to take another photo. Then, use the original battery and the one in the photo to activate the teleporter).
Level 4.1. Use the camera to take a photo. Then, place the photo so that the teleporter (found on the other side of the wall in the photo) is in front of the camera Finally, take a photo of the teleporter, rotate the photo and place it.
Chapter 3
Level 1.1. Take the only possible path until you get to an area with 3 switches. Press the 2 switches in plain sight. Then, go around the wall on the left to find a broken picture. Stand in the correct position to form it, breaking the fence covering the last switch. Hit the last switch and create the bridge by looking at the 3 coloured panels. Next, cross the bridge and go all the way to the end to find a photo on a small table. Inside the photo, you will find another photo on the table of a camera. Place it and take the camera. With the camera, go back to where the teleporter is. Here, take a photo of the battery to spawn another one. Do this one more time to have 3 batteries, allowing you to activate the teleporter.
Level 2.1. First, take a photo of the structure that goes out in front of you. Then rotate the photo and place it down so that you can stand on the “ceiling” and go through the arch. On the other side of the arch, look right and take a photo of the teleporter. Rotate the photo and place it to finish the level.
Level 2.2. Take a photo of the tall structure in the distance (the one with the solar panels on it). Then, use it as a bridge to get to the teleporter.
Level 2.3. Go up the stairs on the left and take a photo of the platform with the teleporter above you. Then, place it down below you so that you can get to the teleporter.
Level 2.4. Look straight up, take a photo of the teleporter, place it straight below you and drop down to finish the level.
Level 2.5. Take a photo of the sky and use it to slice the fence preventing you from getting to the pad and teleporter. Then, go to the area with the battery on the column. Take a photo of the battery on the column and place it above you so that the battery falls next to you. Take a photo of the battery to get another one. Finally, take the batteries to the pad to activate the teleporter.
Level 3.1. Take a photo of the arch (or sky) to break through the fence. Then, go past the teleporter and down the stairs to find some extra film on the table. Return to the teleporter, take a photo of it, rotate it and use it.
Level 3.2. First, take a photo of the platform with the battery on it. Use that photo to form a bridge to the battery (as well as spawning another battery). Take both batteries to the pad to activate the teleporter.
Level 3.3. First, grab the battery from the area on your right. Then, place it down on the ground near the edge where the teleporter is. Now, take a photo of the teleporter and pad (as well as the battery). Rotate the photo so that the pad and teleporter are the correct way up. This will also get the battery to fall to the ground. Place the batteries on the pad to activate the teleporter.
Level 4.1. Press the switch, then go around the level until you can see the teleporter and the switch through a hole in the wall. From here, take a photo of the switch and teleporter (in the same photo). Rotate the photo so that the teleporter is the correct way up to finish the level.
Level 4.2. Press the switch. Then, stand behind the teleporter and take a photo of it. Rotate the photo so that the teleporter is the correct way up to finish the level.
Level 4.3. Stand at the end of the “bridge” and face the other end.

From here, take a photo that includes the switch and the teleporter. Rotate and place the photo. Then, press the switch to activate the teleporter.
Level 4.4. Drop down to the switch and press it. Then, grab the photo in this area and place it right below the switch and teleporter (without breaking anything). Drop down to the new platform, look up and take a photo of the teleporter and switch (again, without breaking anything or cutting the tube). Finally, place this photo below you and drop down to get to the teleporter.
Level 5.1. Take a photo of the sky. Then, use it to break the fence, allowing you to get to the teleporter. Now, stand on the switch and run to the teleporter.
Level 5.2. Press the switch, then quickly take a photo of the teleporter and the timer circle. Then, place the teleporter down as close to you as possible and run to it before the timer runs out.
Level 5.3. Take a photo of the teleporter and the pipes. Then, rotate the photo so that the standing pad is at the bottom (so that you can stand on it). Stand on and take a photo of the teleporter and the timer circle. Rotate the new photo and place it so that the teleporter is the correct way up. Run to the teleporter to finish the level.
Level 5.4. Stand on the pad and quickly take a few steps back so that you can take a photo that includes both the teleporter and the timer circle. Then, place the photo down and run to the teleporter.
Level 5.5. Stand on the pad and take a photo of the teleporter and timer circle. Place the photo right below you to fall to the teleporter.
Level 6.1. Go through the hall towards the stairs until they change shape. Then, go back through the hall to reveal another path on your right. Follow this path until you drop down a hole. Once you get to the area with the teleporter behind a fence, walk around the fence until the right side reveals an entrance to the teleporter.
Level 6.2. At the start of the level go through the gap in the wall to the right. You will be in an area with 4 columns. Here, go around the column as shown in the image below. If you have done it correctly, a bridge will spawn, allowing you to get to the teleporter.
Level 6.3. In the area where the battery is, head around the building on your left to get inside it. Use the camera to take a photo of the battery. Head outside, look straight up and place the photo above you. This will get the battery from the photo to drop down. Pick it up and use it to activate the teleporter.
Chapter 4
Level 1.1. To finish this level you will have to place the 2 batteries on the pad to activate the teleporter. Just keep in mind that anything that is blue (like the batteries in the level) will not appear in photos. The first battery is in plain sight and the second is behind the fence (that also cannot be destroyed with a photo). To get the battery behind the fence, just take a photo of any of the white floors Like where the first battery was) and place it around the side of the walls on the sides of the fence. Then, just walk around to the battery.
Level 1.2. First, go past the platform with the table on it and go to the end. Here, form the broken picture and pick up the Rubiks cube. Then, use it to climb up to the table on the platform. Here, pick up the photo from the table and use it to destroy the white wall opposite the table. Inside pick up the extra film. Now go back to the start and look through the gap to see the teleporter. Take a photo of it and place it down to use it.
Level 1.3. First, head down the stairs. At the end pick up the photo in the red room. Go back past where you started the level and use the photo to get over the gap on your right. Here you will find another photo. Now, go back to the start and look right to see the platforms that would take you to the teleporter. From this angle place the photo to fill in the gaps. You should now be able to get across to the teleporter.
Level 2.1. From the start, turn around and go to the end (where the boxes are). Here, look up to your right to find the battery. Take 2 photos of it and place them inside the cage on the pad to activate the teleporter.
Level 2.2. First, take a photo of the floor and place it under the cage with the battery on it (found by going up the stairs on your left). Next, go up to the cage with the battery and take a photo of the sky. Use that photo to destroy the floor under the battery so that it falls down to the floor you placed with the first photo. Finally, place the battery on the pad to activate the teleporter.
Level 2.3. This level is simple. First, stand in the area where the telescope is and take a photo of the teleporter and switch through the wall (these types of walls don’t appear in photos). Then, just place the photo down, press the switch and use the teleporter.
Level 2.4. To finish this level, take a photo of the teleporter and the pad. Then, place the pad under the battery in the cage in a way that the teleporter is outside the cafe, allowing you to use it.
Level 3.1. First, take a photo that includes the battery and the extra film. Then, pick up the film and place the photo. Just repeat this until you have enough batteries to activate the teleporter.
Level 6.1. First, go around the right side to find a radio. Take a photo of it and place it down to get another radio, Place it on the floor and take another photo. Then, place the 2nd radio near the middle sound receiver. Finally, place the photo of the radio on the ground near the sound receiver on the wall (pick it up and move it if you need). Once you have all 3 radios near sound receivers, look through the coloured panels to spawn the teleporter.
Level 6.2. First, take a photo of the teleporter and the sound receiver. Then place the photo down so that the sound receiver is next to the sound emitter connected to the switch. Hit the switch to activate the portal.
Level 6.3. Grab the photo from the table and place it so that the sound emitter connected to the switch activated the sound receiver in the photo. Take another photo of the emitter connected to the receiver and place it down near the precious photo so that the previous emitter hits the new receiver. Do this until the sound gets to the receiver connected to the teleporter.
Level 6.4. Stand in between the sound emitter and receiver and take a photo of the receiver and teleporter. You will now have to place the photo so that the receiver and teleporter runs down the side of the pad and emitter (you should have the teleporter to your left as you stand on the pad). After standing on the pad, run to the teleporter.
Level 6.5. First, grab the photo from the table. Then, place it so that the emitter connected to the pad can activate the sound receiver in the photo. ext, take a photo of the timer and the sound emitter in the photo that you placed while standing on the pad. Finally, place the photo of the charged emitter next to the receiver that charges the teleporter and run to it.
Level 6.6. First, grab the photo from the table and use the photocopier to get 3 copies. Then, place one photo down so that the tube with the sound emitter, timer and sound receiver is placed down correctly (on the floor). Enter the photo and place down the photo of the pad and sound emitter so that it activated the receiver from the precious photo. Finally, place down the final photo so that the receiver that activates the portal is near the emitter with the timer on it. Finally, stand on the pad and run to the teleporter.
Level 4.1. Take a photo of the platforms leading to the teleporter. Then, place the photo to the left or right of the original platforms in a way that the new platforms are in between the original ones, giving you a path to the teleporter.
Level 5.1. Grab the photo and use the photocopier to make 3 copies of it. Then, place the first copy so that the teleporter is the correct way up. Then, place the second photo above the teleporter so that the battery falls to the area near the teleporter. Finally, use the last photo to make a path to the teleporter, pad and battery.
Level 8.1. First, take a photo of the platform with the battery on it. Then, use that photo to break through the fence. Take the battery from the photo you just placed and put it down near the teleporter. Now, take a photo that includes the battery you just placed, the teleporter and the pad for the batteries that would activate the teleporter. Next, you will want to use this photo as a bridge to get to the original battery at the start of the level. You should now have the 3 batteries needed to activate the teleporter.
Level 9.1. To finish this level you will have to get enough watermelons to get the weight marker to the top. To do this, first, use the camera to take a blank photo, then use that photo to cut the watermelon in half. This will allow you to place the watermelon on the ramp in front of the camera without it rolling down. Take a few photos of the half watermelon until you have enough to activate the teleporter.
Level 7.1. First, go up the stairs and through the black and white frame. Now continue through the level until you get to the area with multiple frames. Go through the inverted colour one (the one with lots of green and red). This will allow you to enter the area with the battery, Finally, grab the battery, go through the black and white frame again and take the battery back to the start to activate the teleporter.
Level 7.2. First, jump down to the green filter on the left side of the level. Then, return to the top area and cross over to the black-and-white filter. After going through it, jump down to the area below. Then, go back up the stairs to the start of the level. You will now be able to press the switch in front of you. Finally, go down to where the green filter was (should now be the normal colour) and go through it. You will now be able to go back to the very start of the level and use the teleporter.
Level 7.3. First, go through the filters in the following order: Red > Blue > Normal > Black And White > Bluer. You will then be able to stand on the pad and go straight to the teleporter.
Level 7.4. No puzzles in this level, just press the switch in the big round room and use the teleporter after the conversation.
Chapter 5
Level 1.1. First, go to the end of the path and take a black photo. Then, go back to the start and use the photo to go through the fence. Here, activate the camera with the timer on it and run around to the path in front of the camera so that your character appears in this photo (this means that you will teleport to wherever you place the photo). Now place this photo on the cage with the teleporter so that you spawn inside.
Level 1.2. First, activate the camera and run around to the other side of the cage (so your character appears in the photo). You will want to do this 2 times (to have 2 photos). Then, use the first photo to teleport yourself inside the cage, hit the switch, use the second photo to get back out and then use the teleporter to finish the level.
Level 1.3. Use the camera to take 2 photos of yourself. Then, use one photo to get inside the cage with the battery. Pick up the battery and put it through the hole. Next, use the other photo to exit the cage. Finally, activate the camera, pick up the battery and take a photo of yourself while holding it. Finally, use this photo to teleport yourself and the battery inside the cage with the teleporter.
Level 1.4. Activate the camera and run around to the end of the path on the top floor. Wait until the camera is about to snap the picture and jump off the ledge so that your character appears in the picture. Then, just use the picture to get yourself to the platform with the teleporter on it.
Level 1.5. First, take 2 photos of yourself with the camera. Then, activate the camera for a 3rd time. Before it takes the photo, use one of the first photos to get to the other side of the fence and stand as far away from the camera as possible as it takes the photo of you. Next, use the earlier photo that you have left over to get back to the other side of the fence. Finally, look straight up and use the latest photo to get to the metal platform with the teleporter above you.
Level 2.1. Simple level. Just go down the stairs, and snap a photo of the teleporter on your right. Rotate and place the photo to access the teleporter.
Level 2.2. Go to the end of the floating path and stand at the end (where the table is). Then, turn around and snap a photo of the “L” shaped path. Next, turn around and place the photo to get to the battery. To get the battery back to the teleporter just do the same again. Stand near the table, take a photo of the “L” shaped path you just used and place it back in its original position.
Level 2.3. Another simple level. Remove the battery from the pad (to not destroy it) and take a photo of the battery. Place the photo in the photocopier and use the 2 photos to spawn the 2 batteries needed to activate the teleporter.
Level 2.4. First, take a photo of the white wall between the teleporter and the pad. This will destroy it. You can now use the photo to get across the gap and pick up the battery. Place it on the pad to use the teleporter.
Level 3.1. First, activate the camera with the timer and stand at the other end of the cage so that it takes a photo of you. Then, take a photo of the standing camera with your own camera. Next, use the first photo to get out of the cage. Now, take a photo of the battery and place it close to you. You will then have to place down the photo of the camera with the timer and use that camera to take a photo of the battery. This way you will have the 2 batteries needed to activate the teleporter.
Level 3.2. First, go to the camera with the stand. Here, turn around and take a photo of the bridge you just used to get to the camera. Then, place the bridge between the camera and the teleporter. Next, activate the camera with the timer and run across the bridge and place yourself so that you appear in the photo. Finally, stand on the pad and place the photo you just took above the teleporter. This way you can drop on to the teleporter and finish the level.
Level 3.1. This is the final level of the game and is a little different from the others. You will have to get through the level in less than 5 minutes and while using your camera 10 times or less.
After pressing the first lever, look left and snap a photo of the top part of the tallest building. Then use this photo to get straight to the next switch. Next, go right and look at the broken picture from the correct angle to form a bridge to the next switch.
To get to the next switch, take a photo of the white bridge that goes through the fence. Then, place it so that one side of the bridge goes around the outside of the fence allowing you to get to the next switch.
To get to the next switch, first, look through the metal grating below you and take a photo of the battery. Then, look right and take a photo of the photocopier. You can then place down the photocopier. Use it to make 2 extra copies of the battery photo (you should have a total of 3). You can then place 2 of the battery photos above you so that they fall down to where you are. Allowing you to place them on the pad and activate the next switch.
To get to the next switch, just walk across the “gap” that isn’t really there. Then, take a photo of the sky and use it to destroy the right side of the fake arch. to get to the switch.
Next, stand on the bridge where the next camera is. Here, take a photo of the columns on the left to make some terrain in front of the camera. Activate it and stand on the new terrain to take a photo of yourself. I recommend you take 2 photos to make a later part easier. Use one of these photos to get to the other side of the small fence near the camera. After activating the next switch, take a photo of the pad and the emitter from a distance. Then, place the photo so that they are outside of the cage and so that the sound emitter is near the receiver connected to the next checkpoint. You can now use the 3rd copy of the photo with the battery in it that you should have from the photocopier and the battery in plain sight to activate the emitter that will activate the next switch.
To get to the final switch inside the cage, simply use the extra photo you took of yourself.
