Chapter 1: The Heartwood Shard

Chapter 1: The Heartwood Shard

Chapter 1 introduces you to the initial puzzles and environments of MetaMorph, starting in the Preface and Josef's Room. Your actions in the game can lead to different endings, and to achieve 100% completion, you must experience both. After completing one ending, you can load the 'Tower' chapter from the main menu to pursue the alternative.

In the Preface, you wake up in Josef's house after his birthday party. You'll gain control after a brief cutscene. In Josef's Room, your initial goal is to wake Josef and get him to notice you. You will also need to search for 'Tower'.

Later, in the Strange Corridors, you will navigate through areas like the Mushroom Forest and Suspending Bridge. The Lawyer's Office level requires you to get inside the Gramophone, turn off the music, and find the certificate (which involves three distinct steps).

The Procedure level presents several challenges: the processor, the furnace, the pistons, and the robot. You will encounter a bureaucrat who won't assist you. To proceed, use the 'Tower' flier to exit, then go left and down. Cross the chasm using a pencil and speak to the group of intellectual bugs. They will instruct you to take a conveyor belt going up, which you can find by sticking to the cabinets as you move forward.
