Which Hidden Scene Are You Missing?
I completed the Purple Tent / Jester sequence
You have completed the main unlock path for Hidden Scene 1. If you’re still missing another route-unlock scene, check Hidden Scene 2 in the Mirror Maze.
I chose Come closer in the Mirror Maze
You have completed the key choice for Hidden Scene 2. If you’re still missing another route-unlock scene, check the Purple Tent / Jester path.
I haven’t completed either
You can begin with either route. They are tracked separately.
I have both but saw another scene online
The scene may be a character variation, secret conversation, mirror interaction, or easter egg rather than one of these two checklist Hidden Scenes.

How Many Hidden Scenes Are There?
The current guide tracks two route-unlock Hidden Scenes in the public Day 2 content:
- Purple Tent / Jester Hidden Scene
- Mirror Maze / Come closer Hidden Scene
Players sometimes use “hidden scene” more broadly for secret conversations, character variations, easter eggs, or other optional content. Those are tracked separately so this completion count stays clear.
Can I Unlock Both?
The two scenes use separate Day 2 unlock paths. They are not treated here as mutually exclusive routes. Track each set of requirements independently to complete both.
Why Isn’t the Scene Showing in My Gallery?
Once a hidden scene is unlocked, it becomes available from the game’s hidden-scene / gallery area.
Hidden Scene 1 is missing
- ○ Blue Tent
- ○ Cyan Tent
- ○ Purple Tent unlocked
- ○ Purple / Jester sequence completed
Visiting only Blue, Cyan, or even opening Purple is not the whole checklist.
Hidden Scene 2 is missing
- ○ Reached the correct Mirror Maze interaction
- ○ Chose Come closer
If you selected Run away, you left this hidden-scene branch.
I unlocked another secret but it isn’t listed here
Not every optional scene or secret is classified as one of these two route-unlock Hidden Scenes. Use the sections below to identify what you found.
Other Secrets Players Often Confuse With Hidden Scenes
Repeat-visit secret
Black Tent Third Visit
The third Black Tent visit reveals an additional conversation. It is tracked separately from Hidden Scene 1 and Hidden Scene 2.
Mirror secret
Broken Mirror
Repeated Broken Mirror interactions have their own secret progression. They are separate from the Come closer path used for Hidden Scene 2.
Mirror content
Character Mirror Scenes
Pierrot, Harlequin, Doctor, and other mirror interactions can contain optional or earlier-choice character content. They do not automatically count as another route-unlock Hidden Scene.
Route variation
Character Route Variations
Different Pierrot or Harlequin choices can change scenes without creating another entry in this two-scene completion checklist.
I Saw a “Third Hidden Scene” Online
You may not actually be missing another scene from this checklist. Players often use “hidden scene” as a general term for several kinds of optional content. Check whether what you saw was:
- a Pierrot or Harlequin route variation
- the Black Tent third-visit conversation
- a different Mirror Maze interaction
- an easter egg
- another scene created by an earlier choice
The 2 / 2 counter on this page tracks only the two route-unlock Hidden Scenes covered by this guide.

Hidden Scene Troubleshooting
The Purple Tent is locked
Visit both the Blue and Cyan tents first.
I visited Blue but Scene 1 didn’t unlock
Blue alone is not enough. You still need Cyan, then Purple and the Jester sequence.
I visited Blue and Cyan but Scene 1 didn’t unlock
Return to the Purple Tent and complete its sequence.
I entered Purple but Scene 1 still isn’t complete
Make sure you finished the full Purple / Jester progression rather than only entering the tent.
I chose Run away
Hidden Scene 2 uses Come closer at that mirror.
I visited the Broken Mirror three times
That completes a separate repeat secret. It does not unlock Hidden Scene 2.
I got the Black Tent conversation
That is another separate secret and is not one of these two checklist scenes.
I have 2 / 2 but think I’m missing something
Check character variations, mirror secrets, Black Tent content, and easter eggs in the sections above.
