Read Earth Memories — REM — are the glowing holographic globes you find floating in corridors and side rooms across the Cradle. Plug them into the REM Replicator at Shelter to watch a short memory clip of pre-collapse Earth: a thunderstorm, a concert, a kid's birthday. It's the game's lore vault, and a Platinum requirement.
What They Are
A REM chip looks like a palm-sized holographic Earth. You can see them from far away — their floating globe projection is distinct from any other collectible. Walk up, hold interact, and the chip drops into your inventory. Back at Shelter, the REM Replicator turns each one into a short playable memory.
Some are sitting in the open. A chunk of them are behind:
- Blue Lim barriers — unlock with the Lim Eraser
- Locked side rooms — hackable from the other side after you loop through the zone
- Cleanse gates — late-game filament-cleaning puzzles in Sector 6
Total Count
Around 16 REM chips across the playable sectors:
| Sector | Count |
|---|---|
| Sector 1 · Solar Power Plant | 2 |
| Sector 2 · Mass Production Array | 4 |
| Sector 3 · Terra Dome | 4 |
| Sector 4 · Lunum Mines | 3 |
| Sector 6 · Central Port | 3 |
Locations by Sector
Sector 1 · Solar Power Plant
- Hub Hall #1 — the holographic globe you spot in the Generator Entrance hallway; grab it from the back side after Hub Hall loops around
- Hub Hall #2 — higher up, on the catwalk above the central elevator
Sector 2 · Mass Production Array
- Shopping District — one floating hologram near the food court; visible from the zipline approach
- Side Alley — one tucked inside a locked room (hack from the upper walkway)
- Business District — one behind a Lim barrier (Lim Eraser return trip)
- Lim Recycling Facility — one near the giant doll boss arena, on the conveyor belt
Sector 3 · Terra Dome
- Terra Dome Entrance — one in the upper greenhouse annex
- Eco Modeling Lab — two chips, both inside terminal-puzzle side rooms
- Soil Research Center — one in the bed-room loop (same room that holds a Mini Cabin)
Sector 4 · Lunum Mines
- Lunum Mines Entrance — one on an upper gantry
- Warehouse — one deep in the box-stacking hack puzzle area
- Main Excavation Site — one at the edge of the central pit
Sector 6 · Central Port
- Central Port Entrance — one floating hologram past the yellow alert combat
- Regolith Lab — one on a mezzanine platform
- Lunafilament Lab — one behind a Cleanse gate
Tips
- Their hologram glow is visible across the map. If you're scanning and don't see one, you haven't entered its room yet.
- Every "see-it-but-can't-reach-it" REM has a back door. That floating globe in Generator Entrance? You grab it from Hub Hall, not the hallway you first spotted it in.
- Soil Research Center is the trickiest. One REM requires you to enter a bed room, see the chip through a window, leave, open a diagonal door, use Lim Eraser around a corner, and climb back up into the now-unlocked room.
- The REM Replicator is its own reward. Each memory is a short voiced vignette — worth replaying at Shelter.
