While *Split Fiction* presents a primarily linear co-op adventure, it enriches the gameplay with optional Side Stories that you can explore. These Side Stories, while not essential to the main plot, offer some of the game’s most memorable experiences, such as transforming into pigs or competing in a deadly game show. For those aiming to unlock the "Bookworms" achievement, completing all 12 Side Stories is a must. Here's a detailed guide on how to find each one.

How To Find All Side Stories in Split Fiction

From Chapters 2 through 5, you'll encounter a total of 12 Side Stories, with three in each chapter. Here's how to locate them:

Legend of the Sandfish – In Chapter 2, after completing the Rush Hour section, you'll naturally come across this first Side Story. It's impossible to miss.

Farmlife – Also in Chapter 2, within the Streets of Neon section, you can find this Side Story by hopping over a small barrier before reaching the elevators on the left.

Mountain Hike – The final Side Story in Chapter 2 is in the Big City Life section. Near the Port-A-Pottys, have Mio enter one, then use Zoe to throw her to a ledge with a small ladder. Have Mio drop the ladder to access the Side Story.

Train Heist – In Chapter 3's Lord Evergreen section, while navigating water with a plank, you'll find this Side Story on a ledge that requires Mio and Zoe to wall run to reach.

Gameshow – Located in the Walking Sticks of Doom section of Chapter 3, this Side Story is on a platform after the side-scrolling section, accessible through minor platforming.

Collapsing Star – The last Side Story in Chapter 3 is in the Halls of Ice section, directly on the main path and impossible to miss.

Kites – In Chapter 4's Toxic Tumblers section, you'll find this Side Story at the end of a long tube.

Moon Market – In the Test Chamber section of Chapter 4, after opening the door post-crane sequence, look for this Side Story on a ledge to the left, reachable through platforming.

Notebook – The final Side Story in Chapter 4 is in the Soaring Desperados section. After obtaining the jetpack, hover over to the left side of the room, avoiding the giant wheel, to find it.

Slopes of War – In Chapter 5's Water Temple section, after hatching your dragons, solve the lever puzzle on the left after crossing the golden balls to unlock this Side Story.

Space Escape – In the Craft Temple section of Chapter 5, after defeating the dragon, launch Mio to a ledge using her glide and Zoe's roll. Have Mio drop a column for Zoe to climb and access this Side Story.

Birthday Cake – The last Side Story in *Split Fiction* is in Chapter 5's Treasure Temple section. Complete the soul puzzle, and you'll find it on your left.
