Can’t Find the Last Puzzle Piece? Current Fixes
DIRECT ANSWER
Update to the latest build, use Resettle in settings, and inspect the affected frames again. Patches v1.2.11–v1.3.1 addressed wrong-slot detection, hidden pieces, unreachable drop areas, and completion cues. If progress still does not trigger, use the in-game report flow; the official notes do not guarantee that every edge case is gone.

CURATOR CHECKLIST / 04
A four-step recovery sequence

- 03Reinspect
Check frames, stanchions, stairs, and recently handled areas.
- 04Report
Use the built-in bug-report path if completion still fails.
Why this page exists: A player cannot finish a frame or trigger the ending and needs current, low-risk checks.
Why an old answer may be wrong
The developer changed wrong-slot and rotation detection in v1.2.11, then fixed stanchion hiding places, unreachable zones, and invisible blockers across v1.3.0 and v1.3.1. Advice written against an earlier build can describe a bug that has already moved.
Use the completion cues carefully
v1.2.11 added a visual effect when a frame is complete. That effect can help narrow the search, but it is not evidence that every piece location or endgame condition has been independently tested here.
- Run Resettle before moving many pieces manually.
- Check that a visually similar piece is not in the wrong slot or rotation.
- Use the report tool rather than editing saves or game files.
If the ending still does not fire
The official patch history says the last-piece and ending sequence received multiple fixes. It does not say the issue is impossible. Capture the version, frame, and what you already tried, then use the current report workflow.
