Shred the Secrets class and abilities overview

Known Secret Types

Hidden Office Interactions

Secret

Interacting with unusual objects in offices can trigger secret events and badge unlocks.

Not every object in the office is set dressing. Certain interactable items trigger hidden events tied to Secret Discovery badges. If something looks slightly out of place, click it — the community is still cataloguing which interactions count.

Keys & Locked Areas

Secret

Hidden keys open locked rooms that contain extra documents, secrets, and badge triggers.

Locked doors in Shred the Secrets are not decoration — keys hidden around the map open side areas with bonus loot and secret-related badges. Sweep each floor thoroughly before moving on if you are chasing 100% discovery.

Alternate Ending Actions

Secret

Performing specific actions (or refusing to) changes which ending you get.

The game has multiple endings. Walkthroughs confirm at least two distinct endings, reached by making different choices about what you shred and how you interact with key objects. Full ending conditions are still being documented by the community — our tracker updates as they are confirmed.

Unusual Office Events

Secret

Rare ambient events occur while you work — witnessing or reacting to them counts toward secret badges.

Stay alert while shredding: odd events can play out around you, from strange sounds to surveillance moments. Some Secret Discovery badges are tied to these events. Keep your volume on and investigate anything abnormal.

The community is still cataloguing exact triggers for many secrets and badges. This list updates as new discoveries are confirmed.
