Playing as Violet, a shy teen with a desire to grow up, you get trapped in a dream you just can't wake up from. Every puzzle solved, will take you closer to waking-up and getting back to your real life but you are in the dream for a reason and getting out might not be as easy as it sounds.

Waking Violet is a 2D top-down puzzle game. There are unique spells to solve puzzles and a rewind feature in case you mess up. The puzzles can be quite challenging if you aren't using a Guide. The soundtrack is also very good.

Step 1: Make it to The Alchemist while doing both bonus levels

Solve the puzzles to progress through the game. Make sure to finish the two bonus levels so you don't have to backtrack or play the game again.

Step 2: Achieve all endings and strive for any missing trophies

Here you will go for each of the three endings. Once you reach an ending, watch the credits and reload your save to be back at The Alchemist then obtain any trophies you might be missing:

The dream is still alive
A broken dream
Sweet dreams

Complete the first level.
Story related, can't be missed

After going through the portal in "A little nightmare of me", the trophy will pop.
Sailing past the Pillars of Hercules

Complete the first block of levels
Story related, can't be missed

After finishing the first 6 levels, a key will appear. After getting it, it will unlock a block puzzle that opens a door. Going through the new portal after this puzzle unlocks this trophy.
Snow or never

When you finish your first snow level (it will have floors made of ice), this trophy will pop. Examples are Anoooooying, Sleep sliding away, Curling etc.

Things get steamy

Reach the final levels
Story related, can't be missed

After reaching the scroll in the area that has 4 portals in all 4 corners and starting the level "So close..." this trophy will pop.

Let's do it again

Replay a level
Simply backtrack to a previous area. The first chance to achieve this is after going through the first bluish portal when getting the key from finishing the first 6 levels. Once you go through it and Sailing past the Pillars of Hercules pops, go back through the portal you came through and the trophy is yours.
Trap-door murderer

Kill a monster with a door
MISSABLE

To get this, close a door on any enemy that crosses through/under it. There is only 1 level you can do this on. In the first area of the game, it is in the "Walking on water" level. After opening the portal and activating the enemy, quickly step on the switch and step off so the door opens and closes on the enemy.
Clumsy

Die outside levels
MISSABLE

To get this you need to die outside of an actual level (the areas with the entrances to each individual level). Either fall into the water or get shocked by lightning to get this trophy.
Not afraid to ask

Use a hint
When you press there is an option that says HINT. Press it and either leave a level or finish it to get the trophy to pop. It is best to get this trophy after you have reached one of the three endings so that you don't have to play the game all over again.
What's this key for ?

Beat a secret level
MISSABLE

You must get the key in one of the two bonus levels:
- In "Third time is a charm" there is a portal to "Hungry like a Ghost" in a green portal. This is a Pac-Man type level. Get all the bottles without dying from an enemy.
- In "Stacked" there is a portal to "On the verge of exploding" in a red portal. This is a Bomberman type level so kill all enemies to unlock the key.
I might need a keyring

Beat both secret levels
MISSABLE

You must get the key in both of the bonus levels:
- In "Third time is a charm" there is a portal to "Hungry like a Ghost" in a green portal. This is a Pac-Man type level. Get all the bottles without dying from an enemy.
