Quick Answer: What Cosmetics Are There?
PlaySide's store page confirms "a truckload of unique, unlockable cosmetics" but does not document the individual categories, counts or items. Claims elsewhere about exact catalogs (specific hats, colors, faces or outfits with unlock levels) have no official source. What is confirmed: the catalog exists, it is large, and items are unlocked by playing.
- Confirmed: "a truckload of unique, unlockable cosmetics" (official feature bullet)
- Confirmed: Character Customization as a Steam store tag
- Confirmed: cosmetics personalize your Bean on the job site
- Not documented: category names, item counts, per-item unlock conditions
- The 26-trophy list requires no specific cosmetic count for the platinum
How to Unlock Cosmetics
The official materials say cosmetics are "unlockable" — earned by playing, not bought. The exact unlock triggers for individual items have not been documented by PlaySide, and this page will not guess them. Practically: play through the jobs and their challenge layers (Time Trials, zero-death runs, Master Builder Mode) and the wardrobe grows as you go.
