This section of the walkthrough for Tales of the Neon Sea covers the 'Uncovering Buried Secrets' chapter. It details the locations of three missable Image & Text Files and three Achievements. Note that two of the Achievements are mutually exclusive and require a save reload to obtain both.

    Rescuing Charles:
    • Inspect the files on the whiteboard to find 'The End (5/8) - Robot Puppets'.
