Note: For the sake of avoiding as much spoilers as possible, this walkthrough will focus on areas that players are most likely to get stuck on. Areas that can be progressed easily or puzzles that can be figured out with reletive ease will be skiped.
Annabelle/The Dreams of Annabelle Sunray
Annabelle's Apartment:
Just like any other Yume Nikki style game, we start at the protagonist's home. However, the player must take a few steps first before Annabelle can go to sleep. Upon starting the game, Annablle will be locked in her room. The first step is to find the hallway kep under Annabelle's pillow. You will then find the belcony key in the bathroom down the hall. Enter the balcony to find a electric grill. Once you obtain the electric grill, go interact with the stoll next to Annabelle's bed. Doing so with lead to Annabelle going to bed.
The Forest World:
You will be visiting this hub world a lot throughout the game. You can technically explore this world, but there is really no reason to since you will be visiting every inch of this world eventually. Just follow the collored leaves to the corasponding holes and you should be fine. Once you find a key, use the Nexus Stone to save on backtrracking.
The Movie Theater World:
This is where things gets progressivly difficult. The Puzzle itself is self explanatory, so instead, I will give some tips.
- It's recomended that you use the Music Record effect in this world to make things a lot easier for yourself. Keep in mind that by going double the speed, you must pay attention to what tile you are on so you can turn tight corners.
- When flicking a light switch, don't think you will be able to rest for all of them.
- The Remake and the Original allows you to save at any point during the gameplay. If you are having difficulty during a specific part of a puzzle, you can always save on a part of a puzzle and then reload your save whenever you get sent back to the begining. I will be calling this stratagy the "Save Exploit" from this point foward. You shouldn't need the save exploit during this puzzle since it's a short puzzle and there is a small window of time to open the menu. But the option is there.
The Video Game World:
The Witch's Lair
In the first part of this world, you will see a bunch of puzzle peices wondering around and a closed gate. In case you don't know what to do, you need to use the movie effect to attack all the puzzle peices in the area in order to open the gate and proceed. The rest should be self explanatory.
The Slender Forest
The goal of this puzzle should be simple: get all 8 pages in the area and avoid the chasers. It's recomended to use the music recod for this area to make things easier for yourself. Also, if you don't want the trees to get in the way, try sticking to the far sides to meet the least amount of resistance. Some pages are away from the edges, but at least this way, you will be close to almost all of them.
The Candy World
This is the longest and most hardest world in the game. Especially in The Dreams of Annabelle Sunray. It's highly recomended to use the music record effect and the save exploit throughout this world.
For the first half in the world, just pay attention to the tiles you are on and make good use of the pushable objects to block the more faster chasers. Also note that in Annabelle, the chasers has a weird hit box collision going on where they can get you from their sides. Be careful and keep a cool head in both versions of this world. And I should stress, in The Dreams of Annabelle Sunray, this is a long area with no checkpoints. If you get caught, you have to start the whole thing over again. So don't feel bad for saving and loading on certain parts of this area.
The second half of this world is the grey area. If you have the Music Record Effect on, you should be fine. The chasers are slow in this area. But on the off chance you get caught, keep in mind that the chasers don't reset when you respawn. So there is a chance that you might acidently herd a bunch of chasers in a narrow passage. If this happens, you either have to lure them out, or use the nexus stone to reset the world. If you want to abvoid this, it's recomended that you save as soon as you enter the grey area. Doing so will save you a headach if you mess up the first time.
The School World
The last area that could give you trouble is the school world. Throughout this world, there are going to be npcs that block your way. There is a way to get past some of them without a item. Pay attention to what they are saying and use the matching effect to get past them.
And that should be it! There there are any other parts in the first game that you got stuck on, please let me know in the comments!
The Dreams of Melody Moonlight
To be filled out...
Annabelle: Projection
The Forest World:
It's back baby. Complete with a new look. This first area of the game will have a locked gate. In order to open the gate, there will be a npc somewhere in the forest that gives you something to carry. Deliver this something to 3 other npcs and the gate should open!
The School World - The hallway:
There is gonna be a hallway full of npcs. You can move some of them, while others will talk to you. There is no way to tell the movable npcs apart from the stationary npcs. Just keep in mind that when pushing npcs, it is possible to move them sideways. As in, if you move foward, not all of them will go foward if there is a way to move sideways.
The School World - The Bathroom
There's gonna be a part where you have to move a npc through a whole area. Just keep in mind that you can move things diagonally is you move diagonally.
