Walkthrough
  • When you start game turn left and you will find all 3 missing posters in the general area (these go towards the missing dogs achievement there is also a fire next to the homeless guy you can throw your ball in for the let it burn achievement)
  • Walk down street until you find the facility
  • Enter the building, book 1 will be on counter (these go towards the i can read anywhere achievement)
  • Walk all the way to the end following the blood which leads to the office and grab locker key then come back to the locker room and unlock the corresponding locker, book 2 will be in the already open locker
  • Take fuse from locker and return to office and place it with the others
  • Go look at Ruben to start chase
  • Head to bathroom and hide in middle stall until prompted to throw ball. Book 3 will be on the floor next to the first stall
  • Go back to where Ruben was eating and interact with door, this will tell you to go back and get Tomy's ball, Ruben will be gone so just grab it and come back to go through door
  • As you enter a man will tell you to flip all the switches so at this point just make your way through the rooms avoiding Ruben. You will also need to collect two keys if you want to rescue Tomy
    You can use spare balls to distract Ruben if he gets too close
Layout of the rooms
A Switch
B Cage Key+Book 4
C Switch+Book 5
D Switch+Forklift Key
E Just Balls and Hoop
F This is the room that has Tomy, you will need both keys to get to him.

In total there are 3 switches to flip once you have done those return to the central room and rotate the pillar to open door then you can leave with Tomy :)
*NOTE* Each time a switch is flipped Ruben will come straight to the room you are in, each room with switches have places to hide if you want to avoid him completely

Leave without Tomy

Not a single scratch
Complete the game without dying
Just avoid Ruben use hiding spots when available, he's really loud so its easy to hear him coming. You can outrun him ez he only starts running after you when hes super close so easy to just maneuver around. there's also unlimited balls in one of the rooms if you just want to distract him

Favourite toy
Finish the game with Tomy's ball in your possession


You want stars?...I'll give you stars
Finish the game with a score of five stars

Here are what my stats look like to achieve 5 stars. I also read all 5 books while I did this run I'm not sure if that actually counts for this
[EDIT] Books do not count, and ball is not required either. Just need to exit with tomy under 15 mins zero deaths (thank you to comments <3)










I can read anywhere
Read all scientific journals

Book locations
1 As you walk into the clinic on the counter
2 In locker
3 Bathroom floor next to the first stall
4 Room B
5 Room C
HARDCORE Mode
Golden RETRYver
Beat the hardcore mode
Ruben is on your ASS in hardcore mode, he is always be aware of your location and moves faster and there is also no longer an unlimited supply of balls in room E.
To beat hardcore you don't need need to leave with Tomy or the ball and there is no time limit.
Flip 3 switches and turn the middle pillar last to unlock the door.
Headsup Each time you flip a switch you are locked in position for a moment but Ruben will still keep movin towards you.

My strategy
I found the best route was to enter room A then C and D last. These rooms all have hiding spots so the best technique is distract Ruben with the ball, hide, when he moves grab the ball and move onto the next room. Room D is harder that's why i left it last you really gotta time the ball with Ruben and run out to turn the middle pillar to unlock the door. Each time i did this Ruben would appear in the middle section and i wouldn't have enough time to get through the door as it takes a moment to unlock so i would turn the pillar run to room E (where i found he wouldn't follow) Ruben would be far enough at this point that i could run out and leave.

to unlock hardcore mode you need to achieve a 4 star minimum ranking! :))

Just my two cents: managed to get 5 stars in 11:24 by following zir0nic's 11:20 video over at Speedrun website. As TheBeak mentioned below, 15 minutes is the upper limit for getting the maximum rank. I had a couple no-death runs with Tony and ball in possession, yet still got 4 stars due to my final times being around 15:40s - 15:40s. Journals are not needed.

Just to let everybody know, for 5-star runs, you don't need to exit with the ball. You need to hit the exit with just Tomy and be under 15 minutes. Did a couple of run throughs out of boredom to try and get 5-stars which was eluding me and finally did it.

Just a heads up you do not need to collect books when going for 5 star run. Thanks for the guide!
