Explore Every Nook and Cranny
While Astral Chain isn’t open world or anything, there are a ton of secrets and collectibles to find along the way.
Each File in the game has a host of different missions to complete, red missions that are major ones, and blue missions that are side ones.
While you can see most of these markers on your map, some missions can only be discovered by exploring, like finding an Astral Plane gate hidden behind a dumpster.
You also have toilets and cats to watch out for as the game’s main collectibles, and most of these are hidden away. Cats can be rescued and brought to your safehouse where you can visit them. Toilets will give you a new kind of toilet paper that you can give to the Toilet Fairy in Neuron HQ for a reward.
Finally, if you want to collect all the Red Matter in a level you’ll have to explore. The more you collect the better your score will be at the end of the File.
With all of this in mind, you should take your time on each File and not just rush through.
