Conapt Series (Demo Main Path)
The Conapt sequence makes up most of the demo's main path. The Level 2 (Conapt04) in particular has a strong speedrunning community around it.
Conapt00 Secret
No climbing required. Continue through Conapt00 normally until you reach the indicated location — the secret is on the main path.
Conapt04 Secret (Level 2)
Continue through Conapt04 as usual. Near the end of the level, the secret is in the area shown in the standard screenshot — don't miss it on the final stretch.
Conapt05 Secret
Progress through Conapt05 until the first-screenshot area. Jump onto the last platform and look toward the passage on the right — the secret is there.
Admin Secret
Follow the level normally until the last NPC. Climb onto the roof slightly to the right of the NPC — the secret is up there.
Conapt06 Secret
Continue to the location shown, then climb onto the building on the right. The secret is on the roof. There's also an NPC inside a lit-up building nearby.
Conapt08 Secret
At the screenshot area, there's a ladder on the left. Climb it to find two NPCs. After talking to them, look above the passage you originally came through — the secret is up there.
Conapt09 Secret
Not far from the beginning, you'll see a passage with a lamp. Don't enter it — instead continue straight and climb up the wall. The secret is at the top.
Conaptend Secret
Continue to the screenshot area, walk to the very end of the grate, then climb onto the ledge on the left to reach the secret.
Sewers
Sewers00 Secret
At the screenshot area, jump onto the third platform, then look to the left.
Sewers01 Secret
As soon as Sewers01 loads, turn around and head back. There's a spring; jump on it, turn around again, and look to the right.
Roseau
Roseau00 Secret
Continue normally until the screenshot area. After completing the three wall-runs, the secret is on the left at the end of the sequence.
Dreamland
Dreamland laciudadbaja Secret
Found at the very end of the level. Don't take the final exit — instead reach the last column, turn back, and the secret is on the way.
Mechanisms
Mechanisms01 Secret
Continue to the screenshot area, then move to the other side and jump into the passage on the left.
Mechanisms02 Secret
Reach the section where the fan accelerates you, and the secret is visible on the left. Use the fan to get up to the beams above and follow them toward the secret.
Vestiges
Vestiges Secret
At the screenshot area, instead of jumping along the wall, climb upward, jump onto the column on the right, and continue from there.
Jungle
Jungle01 Secret
Near the start, jump onto the rails on the right and continue forward along them until you reach the secret.
Jungle02 Secret
At the very end of the level, the secret is directly above the pipe passage that finishes the level.
Dum
Dum Secret
Found immediately after the final fan. Once you pass the fan and enter the passage, you'll see a lamp. The secret is to the right of the lamp.
"Something is Different" — The Demo Mystery
One of the most-searched Vholume queries is "vholume something is different". The phrase is tied to a hidden message in the demo — an in-game text trigger that fires when you meet certain conditions (typically after collecting a high percentage of the demo's secrets or interacting with a specific NPC). It's the kind of detail a walkthrough catches but a Wiki-style guide should call out explicitly.
If you've found 100% of demo secrets and the text still hasn't appeared, try revisiting Admin and talking to the NPC on the rooftop a second time after reloading the checkpoint.
For a more comprehensive write-up of the trigger, see community threads on the Vholume Demo Steam Discussions or watch the top "all secrets" walkthrough on YouTube.
Tip: The in-game level-select menu shows a small secret indicator in the bottom-right corner of every level thumbnail. If the indicator is empty, you missed something — use this page to find it.
