Pragmata places players into the space suits of human Hugh and android Diana as they must find a way back to Earth after the AI running the particular lunar facility they've found themselves trapped in goes rogue. To help you do just that, we've put together this Pragmata walkthrough, which also details all of our Pragmata guides and tips and tricks. And be warned, there's light spoilers ahead, though we have avoided sharing any major ploit points.

If you're still wondering whether this emotional sci=fi adventure is for you, take a look at Eurogamer's Pragmata review.

Pragmata walkthrough

Pragmata features multiple chapters – known as Sectors – and we've divided our walkthrough based on these and their sublocations. If you're gathering collectables while playing but not quite aiming for 100%, you can also expect to finish the game in 10 to 15 hours.

If you're looking for something specific, then feel free to skip ahead to our dedicated sections for the following types of guide. Again, just be aware of spoilers!

Before we continue with our walkthrough, here's your spoiler warning for the below. I have omitted any major plot reveals or ending details, but there are the names of bosses, locations, and abilities below.

In Sector 05, there are also no collectables for you to worry about gathering. It's perhaps also worth noting that you cannot fast-travel back to this area after leaving, and this is where you unlock the Cleanse ability for dispersing red lunafilament around The Cradle.

Pragmata tips and tricks

Below, we've listed some tips and tricks to bear in mind while playing Pragmata:

  • Return to past locations - Some collectables cannot be gathered until you have unlocked specific abilities. For example, the Lim Eraser unlocked in Sector 02 Block 05 can be used to disperse glowing blue lunafilaments that block off Safe Boxes and more. If you see a collectable behind one of these and don't yet have the Lim Eraser or other necessary abilities, make a note to come back later.
  • Return to the Shelter and upgrade often - Everytime you encounter a tram stop, Diana often suggests taking a break, and for good reason. Between tram stops, you unlock plenty of lunafilament currency, upgrade components, Mods, and more. Making use of them whenever the opportunity arises will make upcoming areas easier. The Shelter is also one of the only places you can fully heal and restore your Cartridges!
  • Speak to Diana - Speak to Diana in the Shelter and hand over any Read Earth Memories to her to unlock new interactions. This particular tip isn't going to make your gameplay any easier, but there are some unique and heartwarming interactions to be unlocked by spending time with her. It'd be a shame to miss out on them!
  • Spend Cabin Coins - You'll gain Cabin Coins from Safe Boxes or by giving Read Earth Memories to Diana. These can be given to the Cabin System in the Shelter to play a bit of bingo and ultimately unlock all kinds of useful stuff: new Mods, new Outfits, new Training Simulations, Bot Data, and more. A lot of this stuff cannot be unlocked elsewhere, and who doesn't love a bit of bingo anyway?
  • Unlock the Object Scan ability as soon as possible - If you're planning on going for 100% completion or simply gathering as many collectables as you possibly can, then you want to unlock the Object Scan ability from the Unit Printer at the Shelter as soon as you reach Shelter Level 2 (which you will be able to do following Sector 02 Block 05).
