The historical demo upgrade-station report points to a floating blue head in the sewers behind a grate. The player who identified it in February 2024 was exploring with Noclip, so the report does not establish a normal playable path through that grate. For Early Access, the developer’s separate progression explanation instead places currency spending after getting on the train.
The blue head behind the sewer grate
In the Steam discussion of demo secrets, one player mentions an upgrade station that accepts Exaltation. Another asks where it is and later identifies a floating blue head behind a grate in the sewers.
That February 10, 2024 report also says the prices were too high to afford immediately. Crucially, the player states they were exploring with Noclip. This identifies a reported landmark and function in an old demo, but it does not prove that reaching it normally was possible in that layout.
What you can use this location report for
If you are trying to identify the blue head seen behind sewer bars in an older demo, the report explains what another player believed it was: an upgrade station. It does not provide a confirmed key, switch or passage that opens the grate.
Do not spend your playthrough looking for an invented access sequence. The useful distinction is between seeing a station-like object and having a documented route to interact with it. The source supports the first landmark identification, while its Noclip context limits the second.
Early Access progression is a separate lead
In the developer’s Early Access and full-game progression reply, currency spending becomes available after getting on the train. The listed upgrade methods include Exaltation leveling, weapon modifications, learning psi channeling from Actor Dude Bro and dialogue-related rewards.
Use that developer explanation for the progression milestone in Early Access. It does not identify the old sewer head as the required current vendor or show that the historical grate is now an opening route.
