*Split Fiction* offers a straightforward co-op adventure, but it's the Side Stories that truly enrich the experience. These optional narratives, scattered throughout Chapters 2 through 5, may not be essential for progressing the main storyline, but they harbor some of the game's most memorable moments—from turning into pigs to competing in a deadly game show. Completing all 12 Side Stories also unlocks the Bookworms achievement, making it a worthwhile endeavor for completionists. Here's a comprehensive guide to locating each Side Story in *Split Fiction*.
How To Find All Side Stories in Split Fiction

- Farmlife – Chapter 2, in the Streets of Neon section. Look for it after hopping over a small barrier, before reaching the elevators on the left.
- Mountain Hike – Chapter 2, in the Big City Life section. Once you reach the Port-A-Pottys, have Mio enter one, then use Zoe to throw her to a ledge opposite them where there's a small ladder. Have Mio drop the ladder for access.
- Train Heist – Chapter 3, in the Lord Evergreen section. While navigating water with a plank of wood, find this Side Story on a ledge that requires wall running to reach.

- Notebook – Chapter 4, in the Soaring Desperados section. Once you get the jetpack, hover over the giant wheel to the left-hand side of the room where it's located.
- Slopes of War – Chapter 5, in the Water Temple section. After hatching your dragons, solve the lever puzzle on the left after crossing the golden balls to unlock it.
