IGTAP secret areas
Quick answer

Past the five visible courses, the demo hides three things: a lights-off variant room players call the ghost maze, the pit that ends the demo on purpose, and — in the full game — everything below that pit.

Which ending are you looking at?
The final pit ended the old demo, while the September 21 full game continues beyond that opening. First check which game you launched. The developer delisted the demo at release and confirmed its saves are incompatible with the full game. A demo ending is not a full-game softlock, and the old IGTAPsnfDemo save path is not a recovery guide for a release save.
For a release-build route that became difficult after buying omni-dash, return to its upgrade box and try the previous moveset. Hotfix #2 made it a toggle: omni-dash uses one fewer jump. Hotfix #4 also normalizes the ability count when toggling it. Check that choice before concluding that a wall needs a new secret ability.
Red teleporter and unlock-orbs recovery
Install the launch hotfixes before retrying a stuck return route. Hotfix #1 fixes returning to the unlock-orbs area with omni-dash. Hotfix #4 makes the red teleporter near course 5 loop back to the hub, addressing cases where a player skipped a teleporter in the chain. Revisit that teleporter on the patched build rather than applying old demo coordinate edits.
Hotfix #3 adds backup saves and fixes secrets counted while Steam is not initialized. Two later patches stayed on saves: Hotfix #6 (September 28) targets the save failures Linux players hit running the game under Wine, CrossOver or Proton, and Hotfix #7 (October 8) reworked Steam Cloud settings to cut down on saves lost through the cloud, and fixed a softlock that could trigger if you loaded a save while a tree segment that automatically starts another segment was still growing. Those changes do not make manual save edits an official feature. For a remaining problem, keep the save and report the last teleporter used, current moveset and installed version to the developer.
The lights-off room (the "ghost maze")
Some players return to a dark Level 5 with the lights simply off. Community reports tie it to progress state rather than a puzzle — the way through is to rebuild your abilities (re-clear Level 1 if your save reset), pick up dash block swap when it appears, and take the route down the hole below. You can't brute-force this one with tech.
THE HOLE and the second area
The full game continues past the demo's pit: a grass-covered second area where the terrain stops regenerating your abilities, an Atom Collider room whose whole job is converting your watts into atoms — a second currency with its own upgrade tree. (The wings on your back and the green dots above your head in later builds are an ability readout: wings = air jumps, dots = dashes.)
Before exploring past the opening
Keep the five-course demo route separate from the release's later content. A room name found in game files does not establish an accessible entrance, and placeholder-looking scenery is not a reliable door marker. Use a visible entrance or tutorial board on your current build before committing to an off-course route.
The launch updates also clarify the VMAN tutorial board and fix the Atom Collider's “atoms until next tier” counter after prestige. If that counter seemed wrong, update to Hotfix #5 before planning purchases around it. This fixes a readout; it does not publish a new collider cost table.
