Short answer
During Endacopia's 2022 Kickstarter campaign, high-tier backers had their custom original characters incorporated as interactive NPCs across the game world. Players can encounter over a dozen of these unique figures hidden in optional rooms, secret doors, and side alleyways across Misery Town, Timesville, and the Office.
When to do it: Discover these backer cameos during regular area exploration before advancing past Chapter I's point of no return.
What you need: Free exploration access in Misery Town, Timesville, and The Office; specific tools like the metal detector and fish key open additional backer rooms.
Missable or risky: Yes. Once an area is cleared and Mellow boards the chapter transit, earlier backer rooms become inaccessible.

Step-by-step solution
Step 1 — In Misery Town: Walk past the primary circus tents toward the rear rubbish fence to find Gloop & Snorf.
Step 2 — In Timesville: Switch the clock to Night 2 and approach the far wooden pier to converse with Captain Barnaby.
Step 3 — In The Office: Input 1984 at the archive terminal to reveal Professor Q's hidden reading nook.
Step 4 — Use the metal detector near the Misery cinema entrance to locate the hidden cellar holding Blinky.
Common failures and softlock risks
Do not confuse backer cameo rooms with mandatory story puzzle doors.
Make sure to speak to backer characters before resolving area bosses, as boss defeats alter town populations.
Recovery rule: stop before crossing another chapter boundary. Confirm the current objective, cycle every usable inventory item, and retry the interaction from a clean room entry. If the trigger still fails, close the game before restoring a known-good save; copying or replacing live save files while the game is open can overwrite the recovery state.
