Collapse is a value that measures how much the surroundings have been influenced by the reality-bending Collapsals, which affects the run's environment by raising the Collapse Level that makes it more likely for Collapsal Paradigms to be gained, which will be further explained below.
Players start a run with a Collapse value of 0, which increases by the following:
- Choices in certain Encounters (varies with the Encounter)
- Certain Collectibles
- Losing Life Point(s) in an operation (+1, which is accounted for at the result screen)
- This penalty further increases by 1 on Braving Nature +3 onwards, and by 2 with the Eternal Hunting Squad.
- Entering the 2nd floor onwards (+3, or +4 on Braving Nature +15).
Level | Collapse | |
---|---|---|
Braving Nature | Braving Nature +1 on | |
0 | 0 | 0 |
1 | 4 | 4 |
2 | 8 | 8 |
3 | 12 | 12 |
4 | 16 | 15 |
5 | 20 | 18 |
6 | 24 | 21 |
7 | 28 | 23 |
8 | 32 | 25 |
“ | Foldartals and some Collectibles can reduce your Collapse value. Dropping your Collapse value by a level will remove your most recently acquired Collapsal Paradigm. | ” |

Certain Encounters and Collectibles as well as the Eternal Hunting Squad, can help the player in reducing Collapse. Declaring Foldartals also reduces Collapse by 1.
Collapsal Paradigms
Collapsal Paradigms are similar to Hallucinations and Calls of We Many in previous themes, but all of them are completely detrimental and serves to make the run harder than ever before although they are manageable to a degree. Whenever the Collapse Level rises, a Paradigm will either gained or intensified if one already gained, amplifying its danger. Conversely, whenever the Collapse Level falls, a Paradigm will either be lost or diminished if one is intensified.
Up to four Collapsal Paradigms will ever occur in a run; as the Collapse Level is capped at 8, this means that there can be four intensified Paradigms at most.

CLASSIFIED
These Paradigms are less likely to be gained than the other Paradigms and are not listed in the Winter Nights Exhibition Hall until actually gained. However, take caution that these Paradigms are very hazardous due to the visual disruption they provides which could make things impossibly difficult.

Tips
- Compared to losing Light in Mizuki & Caerula Arbor, gaining Collapse is not as punishing as the Collapse Level has specific thresholds, meaning that if the player knows what they are doing, one can avoid getting Collapsal Paradigms quite easily. Most of the Paradigms themselves can also be counteracted without too much difficulty.
Notes
- ↑ The original Chinese text refers to the brachistochrone curve, which is not kept in the official English localization likely due to confusion or error.
