How songs work

The animal flute is the game’s second progression spine. You get it from the egg room at 8 eggs, and from then on every mural, jellyfish display, crow caw and chalkboard in the well is a potential code. There are two kinds:

  • Warp songs — play them anywhere and you are teleported to a warp stone you have already reached.
  • Puzzle songs — play them in one specific room to open a rabbit, an animal head or a door.

The inputs are eight directions. The numbers beside them are scale degrees (1–8) with the same meaning the game uses on its own sheet-music glyphs, so a code you find written as numbers can be played without translating.

Warp songs

Fast travel room→ → ← ← ↓ ↓ ↑ ↑1 1 5 5 3 3 7 7Warps you to the fast travel room with the animal heads. Learned from the dancing fish in the room below the Crow Head near the egg room.

Learned from jellyfish above the eel screen after you subdue the eel with the UV lantern — and it is the trick that gets you the UV lantern early on a fresh file.

A warp song only fires if you have already touched its warp stone. If a warp does nothing at all, you are not missing an input — you have not been to that spot yet.

Puzzle songs

Every one of these is location-locked. Play them in the room named in the last column.

The 64-egg room song

Collect all 64 eggs, then use the UV lantern in the egg room. The eggs light up with glyphs built from three horizontal lines, which is a 3-bit binary code in the same spirit as Bagua trigrams: a single upper line is note 1, a single middle line is note 2, a single lower line is note 4, and combinations give the rest. Read as music, it comes out as 64 inputs:

↖ ↓ → ↓ ↖ ↓ → ↓ ↖ ↙
↘ ↙ ↖ ↙ ↘ ↙ ↗ ← ↓ ← ↗ ←
↓ ← ↑ ← ↘ ← ↑ ← ↘ ← ↖ ↓ → ↓
↖ ↓ → ↓ ↖ ↙ ↘ ↙ ↖ ↙ ↘ ↙ ↖ ↗
↖ ↙ ↗ ↑ ← ↓ ↑ ↖ ↙ ← ↑ ↖ ← ↖

That is the whole reason the egg count matters: 64 eggs is not a completionist trophy, it is a key. The reward at 64 is the 65th Egg, the glyphs only appear at 64, and the office key only opens after this song — which is the door to the BDTP puzzle and the third ending.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get the animal flute?

Collect 8 eggs. The egg room gate opens at 8 and the flute is the reward inside, so the flute is the first big payoff of egg hunting rather than something you find in a chest.

What is the difference between warp songs and puzzle songs?

Warp songs work anywhere and teleport you to a marked spot. Puzzle songs only do something when played in one specific room, so a code that refuses to work is usually being played in the wrong place rather than entered wrong.

What are the numbers next to the arrows?

Scale degrees 1 to 8, the same values the game prints around the chest that contains the flute. One direction maps to one number, so you can read a code off a wall mural or a jellyfish display without knowing the arrow notation.

Which song opens the office key?

The 64-egg room song. With all 64 eggs collected, use the UV lantern inside the egg room to reveal glyphs on the eggs, then play the 64-input sequence shown below to open a hidden area holding the office key.
