Walkthrough

Introduction

Walkthrough is your map through the professor's house. The chapters below cover every room from the opening laboratory to the kitchen, the garage, and the playtested Backyard area. Each step is written so you can read it while a partner plays — there's no long monologues and no hidden triggers. Where a room hides a collectible, the walkthrough points it out on first visit so you don't have to backtrack. Use it as a sanity check when you're stuck and as a checklist when you're chasing 100%. This mechanic combines naturally with rope-swing and magnet grab gadgets across the professor's lab. Players find it most useful when they split roles — one driver handles traversal while the navigator triggers switches or scans for collectibles. Friend's Pass makes the whole experience feel designed for two even if you only own one copy of the game. Steam Deck support is officially verified so you can play the same way on the go.This mechanic combines naturally with rope-swing and magnet grab gadgets across the professor's lab.

Core Mechanics

The walkthrough assumes one player has read the Beginner Guide and is comfortable with both cars' controls. Each chapter escalates the gadget complexity: Chapter 1 teaches rope-swing, Chapter 2 introduces magnetic wheels on the lab desks, Chapter 3 brings magnet grab into the kitchen, and the Backyard uses all three in sequence. Hidden rooms are marked with a 'Shortcut' tag so you can route around them on a first run. Where the puzzle requires both players, the walkthrough spells out the timing window.

Advantages

A guided walkthrough is the only reliable way to see every chapter without spending hours hunting for the next door. The lab keeps 'opening up' as the story progresses, so without a checklist most players miss two or three collectibles per chapter. The walkthrough also tags every speed-run shortcut, so if you want a clean Story run after your first completion, the route is already mapped.

Challenges

Walkthroughs can make a cozy adventure feel like a checklist. WheelMates' charm is in the slow exploration of a giant room — the rope-swing across the bookshelf, the magnet climb up the desk leg, the tiny cat figurine labeled 'Snowball'. Use the walkthrough when you're truly stuck, but try a room or two on your own first. The lab is forgiving: there's no fail state for exploring.
