Secret Areas Guide
Nightwater's official store confirms hidden areas within the optional mystery. Steam achievements also name hidden pickaxes and a Mountains Minigame chest without disclosing their locations. Explore reachable spaces and keep literal observations separate from theories. This guide supports a discovery log rather than claiming an unverified all-secrets map or access sequence.

Objects and areas are different targets
A hidden-object achievement does not prove that the object sits in a separate secret area. Keep the objective and location evidence distinct.
Revisit after an access change
A new region or movement option can make old surroundings worth checking, but a conspicuous structure is not proof of a hidden entrance.
Record the actual interaction
Note where you were, what you did and what changed, then add interpretation separately for a later replay.
Open public story and completion clues
Steam names Memories, Key of Memories, Key of Automation and finishing Nightwater as objectives. These do not establish exact ending prerequisites. See the spoiler-controlled index.
Put the plan to work
Track four endings and discovered secrets in a spoiler-safe local checklist without invented requirements.
