Semi-Effects Guide

---

Rolling Chair

Different Hairstyles

Events

---

Most events in Debris are random, or need a certain effect (usually the Sewing Scissors).  

Cockroach

A random event when waking up is to find a cockroach running around Tatsuki's room. Getting close to it will cause their face to scrunch up, and walking over the bug kills it.

Spotlight

A random event that happens when entering the bed to dream. The screen goes completely black and a shining spotlight appears. The pattern of this spotlight may differ each time.

Broken Tatsuki

A Random event triggered by entering Tatsuki's bed in the Dream World until they is warped to a sparkling area with a girl in the middle, but faster way to go there is sleep in Tatsuki's dream room bed while using the Hand Mirror effect. Interacting with her teleports Tatsuki to another area with water and white fish running with legs. Keep going straight up to enter a cave. Tatsuki then climbs down a long ladder to a clearing with another Tatsuki, but with triangle holes. Talking or using the Sewing Scissors effect breaks this other Tatsuki, and after that you need to use the Hole effect or wake up to exit.

Reflection

Go to the Gray Eye World and walk about 9 steps towards West and then go straight down till you see a gray-outlined cross. Touch the middle part to enter the Limb World. Go south-east and kill the monochrome NPC using Sewing Scissors. When the environment changes, go back north-west and walkthrough the same arch that you spawned in. You will go to the Residental Area. Go UP - LEFT - UP - LEFT - UP and enter the sole brown door. In the next area, walk towards West and enter the brown door closest to the one you came out of. Go to the balcony to see Tatsuki's reflection. Interact without an effect to see a reaction and then with Sewing Scissors to see the event.

Static TV

A random event upon entering the Dream World, when interacting with the TV in their dream room, it has the chance to warp you to a very glitched world with invisible walls. Running around in this area is another Tatsuki without their bandana that is more transparent and ghost-like. The Tatsuki clone cannot be interacted with, and mirrors Tatsuki's movements. Unless you have the Hole effect, the only way to leave is to wake up.

TV Eye

A random event upon entering the Dream World, when interacting with the TV in Tatsuki's dream room, the TV has a chance to change into a station with only an eye on it. Interacting with this eye will make it laugh, and you cannot change the channel anymore.

Nexus

A random event that may occur without warning while standing in the Nexus. The Nexus pattern spins and glows for a short amount of time.

School Rave

Follow the instructions for the Sewing Scissors effect to get to the School, but go to the far right door with a red eye on it, a screen with many spinning patterns and rave music will play.

School Event

An event that was much more common in Version 0.05 of Debris but is now much more random and rare. First go to the School, and interact with the poster on the wall to turn the School into the Abandoned School. Then enter the room where you got the Sewing Scissors effect in the normal School. An event will show Tatsuki trapped in the center of the room with the screen wavering and they will get knocked to the floor. Some more thumping sounds can be heard and they is repeatedly starting to repeat in a glitched way (similar to a movie skipping) and eventually starts breaking up. They lies on the floor on their back, bloody, for a few seconds before splitting into pieces again. After the event ends, it forces Tatsuki to wake up.

Rising

Follow the instructions to get the Hand Mirror effect, but look for a square hole with lots of bubbles coming from it. Tatsuki is shown floating with a strong water current upwards. You can leave the event and go back to the underwater caverns.

Drowning

Follow the instructions to get the Hand Mirror effect, and through one of the underwater doors there will be an event of Tatsuki drowning, and then land in the Snow World. There is no way to get back to the Underwater Caverns.

Skydiving

Follow the instructions to get the Upside-Down effect, but explore all the doors until you come to a clearing with a table, two NPCs, and a view of outside. Simply walk up and interact with the view to show Tatsuki skydiving down. The event continues until you press X, and you return back to the clearing.

Clones in the Hospital

Follow the instructions to get the Card effect, but interact with the back to turn the hospital dark. The hallways should have changed, and keep going until you reach the far left door, then an area with many Tatsuki clones appear. The menu is inaccessible, and the door appears to be locked. After a few seconds, all of the Tatsuki's (including you) become wounded, most missing body parts such as legs, or arms. Your Tatsuki is without their torso, and their speed is slowed. The door is still locked, and eventually a mist covers the screen until Tatsuki is forced to wake up.

Glitch Menu

If you talk to the menu changing doctor in the Hospital, there is a random chance you will get a glitched menu instead of the normal ones. All text is almost impossible to read, the pattern is made of gibberish, and the menu sounds are distorted and loud. Talking to the doctor again should solve the problem.

Sky Elevator

Follow the instructions for the Arm Clock/Eyeless effect to get to the Blue Maze. Enter the passageway with a big blue bottle next to it, and step on the flashing blue rectangle. Tatsuki slowly descends to the marketplace with balloons along the way.

Punishment

While in the City Street, kill any stick-figure NPC with the Sewing Scissors effect. Immediately, pink birds will run at top speed at Tatsuki, and capture them. The screen goes black and various snipping, gurgling, and hacking sounds are heard, until the screen shows Tatsuki without their torso, sitting in a pool of blood in a cage with a marketplace NPC and various other NPCS surrounding him. Tatsuki then wakes up.

Nightmare Room

In the Cave Maze is a door frame that leads to a small room with another door that is either locked or unlocked (the chance is random, just keep re-entering this room until the door in unlocked) pots and pans hanging from the roof, and a single NPC. If you have the Pot effect, equipping it in this room causes the NPC to go for Tatsuki, and they take the Pot effect. The Pot effect then becomes inaccessible for the rest of that dream, but waking up regains the effect. Additionally, going through the locked door, if it is open, leads to a small space with hands, violent shaking and screaming.

Purple Princess

In the Purple-Black World go to the clearing with the purple princess and talking to her (the chance is random, just keep talking to her to trigger the event) and she will become tangled in thorns and roses while chasers appear. All connections to other worlds are closed off, so even with the Hand Mirror stopping the chasers, you need to wake up or use the Hole effect to get out. It should also be noted that using the Upside-Down effect while the princess is normal shows her with a big rose on her face for a second.

Hug

In the Blue Maze, there is one door that leads to an orange-pink small room with a big black stickman-like figure. Getting close and interacting with it triggers a fullscreen event of the figure embracing Tatsuki in a sort of hug, and Tatsuki then wakes up.

Glitched Room

The easiest way to access this is either follow the steps to the Purple Princess event, but head up into the next room, then down onto the Bridge Area or unlock the green door in the Nexus and head north east to the white flower. From here, head north and enter the staircase, then down into the next room. Heading back into the previous room will show it blocked off by blob-like creatures, From here, go right and onto the bridge. Interacting with the chaser (via the unfenced area) will show her true form, as if you were using the Upside-Down effect. After a few times, she will teleport you to what appears to be your awake room, but she will be blocking the door. You cannot interact with her. If you walk up to the bed, the screen with static, and, when the static ends, your room becomes glitched, and there will be chasers all over, but the do not move and cannot be interacted, leaving the bed as the only option. Interacting with it leads you to an empty black area, and the only way to escape is with the Hole effect or waking up. You can only trigger this event once per dream.

Rewind

Tatsuki at the beginning of the Rewind event.

To witness this event, you have to get either END1 or END3. When the game asks you if you want to continue playing, choose yes, then deselect all the effects and continue. From that moment on, you'll see many - more or less unsettling - scenes.

Once the event is over, Tatsuki will be back in their room with, aside from the instructions, nothing else but "Junk" in the effects list.

Behind the Door

Follow the instructions for getting the Pot effect. Once you've arrived in the Apartment Building, go left and take the second path that'll lead you to a single door. Unlike the other ones, interacting with it will make Tatsuki knock on it multiple times. When doing so, there's a chance that a big shadow will appear and abduct them, resulting in them immediately waking up.

Endings Guide

---

Spoiler warning: Plot or ending details follow.

After each ending, there is a small "Thank You" screen.

END1

Simply collect all 17 effects (on the menu it should say 18 though, because of the instructions being counted as an effect) and exit Tatsuki's room in real life. [Tatsuki is then shown sitting in a grassy field with the wind blowing, watching the afternoon sky and the clouds pass by.]

To get Endings 2 or 3, you need to first unlock the red book with Lefia.

Collect all effects and then go to the Gray Ash Hole World, and afterwards head upwards or downwards directly from the door, and as long as you're below the smile you can walk left and see an eyed creature. Interact with the eyed creature, then go a little bit left and a bit up until you see a golden-bordered wooden door. Enter this door into the hall containing the room with the Slime effect. Go to the top of the stairs and equip the Hand Mirror effect. This will cause one of the doors to turn translucent. Go through the translucent door (and keep using the Hand Mirror effect, because two chasers will be waiting for you when you enter this door) and you should be in white and brown hallway with a red carpet and broken TVs. Keep going up to see a glitched up version of Lefia, and trigger a close up of her. She should disappear from the throne. Wake up, and you should see an open red book on Tatsuki's floor. Interact with it to play as Lefia.

END2

After getting the red book, don't complete Lefia's part and leave Tatsuki's room. [Tatsuki will then be outside along a forest-like path, if you keep going up then there is a small clearing with Tatsuki's corpse and what appears to be one of the chasers in her normal state on the floor. The camera then pans up to show the same scene from END1, but without Tatsuki sitting in the grass.]

END3

To view END3, go down the forest path instead of up. [The scene will change to Tatsuki looking at the red book for a few seconds, then change again; the final scene has Tatsuki sitting in the corner on their bed looking down.]

Lefia's Part

---

When playing as Lefia, you can enter her bed to save.

Menu

Belongings (もちもの) — View Lefia's current inventory, or view the instructions.   Action (こうどう) part of the menu, you can go back to her room (へやたもどる), or Stitch (とじる) to return to Tatsuki.

As Lefia, you start out with many items in your inventory, and there are no effects to be collected in the book. Pressing the Action key will make her run faster. You can only go forward by interacting with the fluttering page at the corner of the bottom right, or the upper left to go back a page. Around the middle of each of these pages there is an empty toy box. Simply interact with all the toy boxes (You can take the items in and out of the toy boxes, a blue lid over the box means the item is in there), and at the final toy box Lefia's face darkens, and she starts to glitch out. As Lefia you go through what appears to be a very distorted version of Tatsuki's room, and leave though the front door. The book then closes, and you return to Tatsuki. Tatsuki shakes their head if you try to open the book again, and simply exit their room. From here Tatsuki holds their scissors, and Lefia stands blocking the path. You then have the option to keep going forward, or turn back. Turn back from where you came to view Ending 3.

END

There is also a fourth "true ending", where instead of turning back from Lefia blocking the path, [face her with the scissors. Tatsuki then stabs Lefia, who then bursts into flames and turns to ash. Keep going forward, and similar to ED2, you will see the same corpses. Tatsuki will step back a bit, then face the camera with a grin and their tongue showing. They then go back a bit, laughing, and runs all the way back. They are then shown holding Lefia's red book by a park with one of the calm chasers sitting on a swing set. The final screen has both of them walking down a road, but Tatsuki suddenly stops, drops the book, and charges at the girl with their scissors. They then start laughing again and runs off screen, and the screen darkens. When the screen is black, you hear some static and other sounds, and the game returns to the title.]
