Any% Route

The notes presented here aim to explain the (currently known) fastest route for each chapter of Encodya in detail. In order to go fast you should be familiar with the few hotkeys this game has to offer:

- Left mouse button: Skip individual dialogues
- TAB: Switch character
- M: Open map (if available)
- Number keys (1-5): Selects the corresponding dialogue option. Below, numbers behind a character represent which dialogue option to choose, e.g., "Old Man (2-4)" means: "When talking to the old man select dialogue options 2 and 4, in this order"
- ESC: Skip cutscene
- Mousewheel: Open & close inventory

Finally before diving into things I'd like to say that, obviously, no guide is perfect. If you spot any mistakes or if there is anything you'd like me to change in this guide please let me know!
