Congratulations. That must've been hard to find.

Bierce

Secret Files appear in every level and unlock extras. Collecting these is required to achieve an S Rank. Finding them will also cause Bierce to comment on your discovery.

Usage[]

The secret files are used by the player to achieve an S Rank in every level if they get them all and fall under other requirements. The secret rooms are safe to be in as enemies won't chase you into them but, will patrol around it. Getting them can unlock OST, Concept art, and even fan art. At this time the complete gallery is incomplete because the game is currently still on going.


Locations[]

Monkey Business[]

Trivia[]

  • Monkey Business's secret rooms aren't always safe as sometimes the Murder Monkeys will push each other into the room.
    • This also goes for the secret rooms in Mascot Mayhem when enemies are roaming the zones.
  • When Chapter 3 released, there was a bug that caused players to have a big chance to skip zone 2 after the roller coaster ride. Those who were lucky enough to get into the funhouse will find the secret room locked with no way to open it. This made Crazy Carnevil impossible to S Rank at launch.
  • Bierce is strangely on the secret files with her photo and name on them.
  • Up to Chapter 4, Mascot Mayhem and Bearly Buried have the most secret files (5 each) and Monkey Business has least secret files (2 files).
