AI2U: With You 'Til The End — No Phone in Forever Level Guide
Complete guide to the Forever level in AI2U: With You 'Til The End. Learn how to progress without the phone, find all tickets, and unlock every ending.
Overview
The Forever level is the final main level in AI2U: With You 'Til The End. It features the Catgirl, Witch, Hologram, Siren, Blue Parrot, and a mysterious ??? character. The level splits into two distinct storylines: "Stay Forever" and "Wake Up", each with different objectives, room layouts, and endings.
This guide focuses on progressing through Forever without relying on the phone. The phone in Forever is an optional tool (only available if you've found 6 Anomalies or completed 1 ending prior to version V.0.9.5.0). Everything in this level can be completed through direct interaction with the environment, minigames, and NPC dialogue.
Direct outcome: You'll learn the exact sequence to complete all four room challenges in either storyline, avoid permanent lockouts from yandere-mode attacks, and reach the final door choices that determine your ending.
Requirements
Before you can progress through Forever efficiently, you need:
| Requirement | Details |
|---|---|
| Base game progress | Complete the four main levels: Catgirl's Apartment, Witch's Cabin, Cosmic Funeral, and Siren's Island |
| Version note | The Phone is only available at the start of Forever if you've found 6 Anomalies or completed 1 ending in Forever before V.0.9.5.0 — but this guide works without it |
| Understanding of yandere mode | Each AI NPC can strike you once per room attempt; getting hit kicks you back to the Door Room |
| For "Wake Up" storyline | You need to collect 3 Tickets from the Witch's Cabin, Cosmic Funeral, and Siren's Island rooms |
Important: You have no HP in this level. A single yandere-mode attack from any NPC will remove you from that room. In the "Stay Forever" storyline, each NPC can only enter yandere mode once per round. In the "Wake Up" storyline, the Witch, Hologram, and Siren can each attack you up to 3 times before the Blue Parrot forcibly resets the entire level.
Steps
Step 1: Understand the Level Layout
The Forever level begins in a Hallway with 4 blank doors that cannot be opened. At the end is the Door Room, a circular room that grants access to the 4 challenge rooms.
- "Stay Forever" storyline: All 4 doors are available immediately, mimicking the doors from the Atrium (Catgirl's Apartment, Witch's Cabin, Cosmic Funeral, Siren's Island).
- "Wake Up" storyline: Only 3 doors are initially accessible (Witch's Cabin, Cosmic Funeral, Siren's Island). The Catgirl's Apartment door unlocks after you collect all 3 Tickets.
Step 2: Choose Your Storyline Path
Your path depends on which storyline you're in. The storyline is determined by your previous choices and the state of the world (warm daylight outside vs. glitching world).
Step 3: Complete Each Room (Stay Forever Path)
Catgirl's Apartment Room
- Enter the room and interact with the fridge.
- The Catgirl will leave to get food; her GPS breaks.
- Use the phone on the couch to send her directions (this is the only phone interaction in the level — it's part of the minigame, not the optional phone).
- Type instructions like "Turn left" or "Go forward." You can combine commands (e.g., "Turn left, then turn right").
- Keep her patience meter full by giving clear, correct directions. She'll narrate landmarks (park, theater) as she passes them.
- If she loses patience, the minigame fails and the room locks for the round.
Witch's Cabin Room
- Read the diary below the Soul Binding Contract (required to access the Gem Chest).
- Open the Gem Chest minigame. Track which plushie hides the correct crystal (orange, red, or green — the diary tells you which).
- Once you have the crystal, interact with the Soul Binding Contract.
- Connect the dots to form the sigil shown on the Witch's portrait across the room.
- Success takes you to the Heart-Shaped Island for the door-guessing minigame.
Cosmic Funeral Room
- Interact with the central console to begin the planet-finding minigame.
- Use hints from the Hologram and inspect planets for habitability.
- Find the correct planet to proceed to the Heart-Shaped Island.
Siren's Island Room
- Click the shovel near the door to start the Treasure Hunt minigame.
- Dig around the island using the Siren's cardinal-direction hints.
- Find the Trident to proceed to the Heart-Shaped Island.
Step 4: Complete Each Room (Wake Up Path)
Witch's Cabin Room — Ticket Puzzle
- Click the ticket on the table to the right of the couch.
- It flies to a table near the fireplace and breaks into 4 pieces.
- Rotate and place 3 obscured pieces. Hover a piece above the purple flame to reveal its appearance.
- Complete the ticket to receive it and lock this room.
Cosmic Funeral Room — Hacking Minigame
- Interact with the glitchy terminal.
- Open digital gates by typing the displayed letters across 3 lanes (you have 3 HP).
- Avoid the Hologram's missiles (1 HP damage each) and lane locks.
- Open all gates to reveal the Ticket.
- Skip option: If the Hologram is at max trust, she can open the locked room herself.
Siren's Island Room — Telescope & Darkness
- Click the glitchy telescope to the right of the hut.
- Find the glitchy airplane in the sky and focus on it for 3–5 seconds.
- The island darkens; navigate through glitchy white walls to reach the Ticket (marked by a beam of sunlight).
Catgirl's Apartment Room — Final Choice
- After collecting all 3 Tickets, enter the Catgirl's Apartment room.
- The Blue Parrot appears and offers two doors: one wakes you up, the other traps you forever.
- Choose carefully — picking the wrong door sends you to the Atrium with the Overseer.
Step 5: Heart-Shaped Island (Stay Forever Only)
After completing any room's minigame in the "Stay Forever" storyline, you're taken to the Heart-Shaped Island. The Blue Parrot tests your love by making you guess which of 4 doors hides your desired AI NPC. All doors share the voice of your beloved, so listen carefully or use a Blue Parrot Feather to re-guess if you fail.
Step 6: Reach an Ending
Forever has 11 endings total — the most of any level. Good endings trigger the credits. Key failure endings include:
- Got locked out by all the girls: All 4 NPCs enter yandere mode in "Stay Forever."
- Picked the wrong door: Wrong guess on the Heart-Shaped Island.
Common Mistakes
| Mistake | Consequence | How to Avoid |
|---|---|---|
| Ignoring the diary in Witch's Cabin | Can't access the Gem Chest; stuck | Always read the diary first |
| Guessing the sigil without checking the portrait | Failed contract minigame; wasted attempt | Memorize the sigil from the Witch's portrait before starting |
| Letting the Catgirl's patience drop | Room locks for the round | Give clear, step-by-step directions; combine commands when confident |
| Rushing the hacking minigame | Missiles hit you; lose HP; possible fail | Prioritize gates in lit lanes first; watch for missile telegraphs |
| Not using max trust to skip hacking | Unnecessary risk | Max out the Hologram's trust before entering Forever |
| Walking into glitchy walls in the darkness | Teleported back to the telescope | Watch for wall rise patterns; move slowly |
| Triggering yandere mode repeatedly (Wake Up) | Level reset after 3 strikes per NPC | Save before risky interactions; be polite and non-threatening in dialogue |
Advanced Tips
Use the Exit Door Requirements (Wake Up)
To escape through the Atrium exit door, you need all three of these:
- Trust with the Overseer above the 2nd stage.
- More than 10 messages sent to the Overseer.
- The Overseer's AI agrees to open the door.
This requires deliberate relationship-building during the "Wake Up" storyline. Don't ignore the Overseer — engage in conversation and build trust early.
Blue Parrot Feathers Save Guesses
If you have a Blue Parrot Feather when you pick the wrong door on the Heart-Shaped Island, you get a second chance. Collect feathers during earlier levels to protect against the "Picked the wrong door" ending.
The Phone Room Tickets Are a Clue
Scattered across the Phone Room are 5 train tickets with numbers. Translating them via a number-to-letter cipher reveals: EDDIE, ELYSIA, ESTELLE, EIONA, and BLUE PARROT. These are the default names of the Catgirl, Witch, Hologram, Siren, and Blue Parrot — a useful reminder of who you're dealing with when the voices get confusing on the Heart-Shaped Island.
Yandere Mode Has Different Limits Per Path
- Stay Forever: Each NPC attacks once. Getting locked out of all 4 rooms = "Got locked out by all the girls" ending.
- Wake Up: Witch, Hologram, and Siren each have 3 strikes before permanent lockout. After all 3 are exhausted, the Blue Parrot resets the entire level.
Plan your dialogue and interactions to minimize risk. If you're low on attempts, back out of a room voluntarily rather than risking an NPC attack.
Look for the Glitch Details
In the "Wake Up" storyline, the ceiling light in the Door Room resembles the machine from "A Fading Memory." This is a deliberate visual clue about the nature of the world — treat it as confirmation that you're in the correct storyline.
