While *Split Fiction*'s core co-op adventure unfolds linearly, a wealth of optional Side Stories offer some of the game's most memorable moments. These aren't essential to the main plot, but they're highly recommended for a complete experience. Here's how to find them all.

- Farmlife: Located in the "Streets of Neon" section, after hopping a small barrier and before reaching the elevators on the left.

Chapter 3
- Train Heist: Located in the "Lord Evergreen" section, on a ledge requiring wall-running to reach while navigating the water with a plank.
- Gameshow: Found in "Walking Sticks of Doom," on a platform after a side-scrolling section, requiring minor platforming.

Chapter 4
- Kites: Found at the end of the long tube in the "Toxic Tumblers" section.
- Moon Market: In "Test Chamber," on a ledge to the left after the crane sequence, requiring some platforming.
- Notebook: The final Chapter 4 Side Story, located in "Soaring Desperados." After obtaining the jetpack, avoid the giant wheel and find it on the left.
Chapter 5
