This is a complete, step-by-step walkthrough for The Amusement, written in a straightforward, player-to-player way. Nothing extra added—just everything you need to get through the game without getting stuck.
This guide avoids story spoilers, but puzzles and navigation are fully explained.
General
Before anything else, get comfortable with how the game works.
Movement is built around roomscale VR. Stay within your playspace when doing actions like climbing, carts, or rotating platforms. If you move too far, the game will try to reposition you.
Climbing is forgiving. If you let go, you won’t fall—you’ll enter a grey “panic” mode. Just grab back onto the path to continue.
If something feels too dark, adjust brightness and gamma in settings so objects are clearly visible.
Inventory is important:
- Bottom button (A/X) → open inventory
- Top button (B/Y) → unequip tools
- Dropped important items go back into inventory automatically
Always check:
- Your inventory
- Highlighted objects
- Old tools you may have forgotten
Prologue
Start with the tutorial and learn controls properly.
Inside the cabin:
- Pick up 3 items:

Close the suitcase and continue.
