Plan your next INPUT6 session
Our independent guide breaks down INPUT6’s core systems, offering observations that help you navigate the factory’s segmented layout, manage time, and piece together the company’s story without promising hidden shortcuts or unlocks.
01 / THE GUIDE
Observe Switching Timing
Play a short round focusing solely on the moment the robot enters view. Note how many seconds you have before movement is blocked, then compare that window across different inputs to gauge consistency.
- Observe the robot’s approach direction to anticipate the optimal moment to switch.
- Practice rapid input changes in a safe area to build muscle memory.
02 / THE GUIDE
Map Remote Locations
After a full run, sketch a simple diagram of each segment and mark where each remote appeared. Over several attempts, look for any spatial patterns that might inform future exploration.
- Prioritize segments where you have already spotted a remote to reduce back‑tracking.
- Use the brief safety window after a robot sighting to quickly scan for a remote.
03 / THE GUIDE
Track Mini‑Game Impact
When a mini‑game triggers, record whether you win or lose and the subsequent difficulty change. This helps you decide if attempting the mini‑game consistently benefits overall performance.
- Keep an eye on the timer while switching; avoid lingering in a single input.
- Plan a route that visits each segment at least once before the timer expires.
04 / THE GUIDE
Archive Review Routine
Create a habit of opening the archives after each item pickup. Compare the information across items to see if any details hint at remote placements or the factory’s backstory.
- If you feel confident, attempt the mini‑game to avoid the negative effect.
- When the mini‑game appears, pause briefly to assess the challenge before acting.
05 / THE GUIDE
Time Management Practice
Run a timed trial where you prioritize visiting each input once before searching for remotes. Measure how much time remains after the first pass to refine your pacing strategy.
- Review each item in the archives before moving on; details may help piece together the company’s story.
- Take notes on recurring themes to better understand the company’s downfall.
