Temporal Research Centre walkthrough (Chapter 5)
Last updated:
This is the Chapter 5 Temporal Research Centre walkthrough for We Were Here Tomorrow — the longest sector. Restore TRC power, grow the Battery Bulb, clear the 15-button G-46 panel, and progress the designed time loop without quitting on the first repeat.
What you are doing
- Arrive at the TRC and restore power.
- Cross the TRC construction site where time behaves like geometry.
- Grow the Battery Bulb in the greenhouse / xenobotany wing.
- Progress through the designed time loop (there is an achievement for looping).
Common stuck points
- 15-button / G-46 / G-46C symbol panel — highest Steam guide traffic.
- Time loop / Ghosts of Our Past / Eternal Recurrence progression.
- Greenhouse plant / Battery Bulb steps.
- Restart Generator and Thieves of Time fuse-box maze (community names).
