🛠️ Essential Leads (9 Required for Story Progression)

These are the keys to advancing the main plot. Skip them, and you'll be stuck.

📌 Pro Tip: "Atomic Batteries" is critical — it unlocks the final phase of the Interchange questline and enables full progression to the endgame.

🕵️‍♂️ Optional Leads (18 Hidden Stories & Lore)

These aren’t required, but they deepen your understanding of the world, unlock secret paths, and reveal hidden endings.

💡 Hidden Ending Unlock: Completing all 27 Leads triggers a secret epilogue sequence involving The Interchange’s true purpose, Oberon’s fate, and alternate endings based on player choices.

🧩 Pro Tips for Mastery

1. Keep a Notes Log – Use your in-game journal or a physical notebook. Atomfall doesn’t remind you of leads — you must track them.
2. Explore Every Room – Items are often hidden under debris, behind walls, or in locked drawers. Check everything.
3. Use the Map Wisely – The world is vast and empty. Look for odd structures, broken electronics, glowing patches, and flickering lights — they often lead to hidden findings.
4. Revisit Locations – Many leads only unlock after completing others. Go back to old spots with new items (e.g., use an Atomic Battery to power a terminal).
5. Don’t Rush – The game wants you to feel lost. Sit in silence. Listen to ambient sounds. Observe details.

🏁 Final Thoughts

Atomfall is more than a game — it’s a survival of narrative and perception. The absence of hand-holding isn’t a flaw — it’s the point.

By completing all 27 Leads, you’ll:

• Unlock 2+ true endings
• Uncover the full history of the Interchange
• Learn who Oberon really was
• See the truth behind the apocalypse

✅ Your Goal:

Find 27 Leads → Unlock the truth → Survive the silence.
