Guide in progress

NOTE: many rooms have a failure transition and several other paths, so the one listed here is not the only way through a stage.

Avoid mines and sharks. Both fish and bioluminescent fish are safe.
Sharks will kill you if you are not around 75% away from them and mines have a hitbox 1 or 2 pixels wider than they would appear.
At the fork near the end take the right path, left is a dead end (gives the Wrong way award).

Go down until you locate the <-<-<- arrows on the wall then follow them into the wall to avoid the falling blades.
You can then climb up and go through the gateway.

Don't hold Z!
Walk until you find 2 U shaped tiles on top of 2 square shaped tiles then stand there and hold the Z button to drop the cube around you.
Other options kill you.

10 presses = Cross -> Door to hospital.
20 = Gamepad -> Game.
35 = Crossbones -> Struggle (Zombies)
60 = Heart -> Love
150 = TV. opens the gate to the Tv/hallicunogen mushroom stage.
200 -> Assidious award

Climb up to the top to turn on the power, then descend, use the computers to open ways down. Then jump into the Robot's machine to have your control scheme go back to normal. Climb up again and find a core hidden in the wall to the right of the switch.

Climb up to the top to change another stage and go to the bottom to learn a control scheme you can use in the Controls stage and then return here.

Stand in the green light until the bar fills then press the desired key. Default is shown in the picture below.

Go up then come down to pick up the upgrade when prompted.

Serves as a level hub.
Morgue->bed.

Sleep repeatedly for an award.

Reach the end for a Core.
Most creatures (not Greed ones, these ones help you see the death holes on the ground) return you to the start on contact.
Platforms in the Ice section fall off. Depending on where you die, you get a door to a specific section, example -> Gluttony: Zombie dream.

Go left for the Philosophy Core. Tap the button until the glass lowers then jump. Talk to the man for an award.
Patient listener -> fully listen to Hilary's speech (Raekoran: I started the dialog and waited for 34min and 45sec to get the 'Patient listener' reward.)

Carry the souls to the top to light the candles.

Crash into the bottom blocks of the left gate until it vanishes to open the way to the Time Core.
You can pick up 5 Emeralds and drop them in the respawn platform:
(leftside)
1 through the fake spikes, 1 past the glitchy platforms and one behind a fake wall at the bottom left of the pit.
Turn in the emeralds.
(rightside)
Push the rewind button to have platforms spawn. Traverse them for #4.
Turn it in and for #5 go back to the top and turn on the machine. Use the platform to climb.

Chase the sun while collecting the mushrooms to keep the trip going. Make sure to run.
Once you get the the TV is working message head over to the game map.

If you activated the TV, you can jump off, turn left and shoot at it to set it on fire, then use it as a gateway for the Pyromaniac award. Go left then Up to get to the life core.
This level requires you to kill yourself 3 times with spikes (at different spots) to change the level enough for it to be solvable.

For Saved Soul: Walk left and right back and forth in front of the statue until a beam shows up. Fly up the beam till the end of the screen.

There are several screens with murals depicting different button setups, this is an attempt to chronicle them.
