Plan your next 5omeday session
Our independent guide offers observations that help players compare the core elements of 5omeday—its mechanics, narrative branches, audio presentation, achievement system, and input options—so you can plan brief play‑throughs with confidence.
01 / THE GUIDE
Timing the Execute Button
Record the exact moment you press the red button in several runs. Compare early versus late activation to see which dialogue snippets change and which endings become reachable.
- Try pressing the button early in a conversation to see how the dialogue changes.
- Observe how avoiding the button altogether leads to different narrative branches.
02 / THE GUIDE
Mapping Endings to Choices
Create a simple chart linking each of the thirteen endings to the key decisions you made, noting especially how curiosity and remorse appear in the description of each outcome.
- Note which endings appear after pressing the button at different moments.
- Use the gallery to recall visual details that accompany each ending.
03 / THE GUIDE
Audio Settings Exploration
Adjust the custom volume controls to raise or lower overall sound. Observe how changes affect your perception of tension during critical narrative moments.
- Experiment with the volume settings to find a level that lets you hear dialogue clearly.
- Listen for musical cues that may hint at narrative shifts.
04 / THE GUIDE
Controller vs. Mouse Efficiency
Play two identical sessions, one using a controller and one using the mouse‑only mode. Note any differences in speed or comfort when navigating point‑and‑click prompts.
- Check the achievement list to identify which endings you have not yet unlocked.
- Review gallery images for visual hints about alternative story routes.
05 / THE GUIDE
Achievement Completion Strategy
Review the Steam achievement list, then plan play‑throughs that target specific unmet achievements, using the gallery as a visual reference for progress.
- Try both controller and mouse‑only modes to see which feels more natural for point‑and‑click actions.
- Use the custom volume controls to balance audio to your preference.
