Should You Smash Cameras in Twisted Tower?

Decide whether to smash cameras without risking an unverified achievement or story condition.

Quick Answer

The answer first

The supplied playthroughs show that Mr. Twister notices camera destruction and reacts to it. They do not prove a reward for destroying every camera or preserving every camera. If you are protecting a blind achievement run, leave cameras intact; if you already broke one, continue unless the in-game achievement list explicitly tells you otherwise.

Confirmed

What is verified

  • Cameras appear throughout the climb and are part of the surveillance/story presentation.
  • Two supplied video observations show camera destruction prompting reactive dialogue.
  • The approved official material does not document an all-camera reward or no-camera achievement.
Not Confirmed

What needs more evidence

  • No complete camera count is verified.
  • No reward for breaking every camera is verified.
  • No fail state for breaking a camera is verified.

  3. Record the area and checkpoint before testing a camera interaction.
  4. Treat Mr. Twister’s reaction as dialogue evidence, not proof of a reward.

What the videos demonstrate

The camera system is not purely decorative: breaking cameras produces acknowledgement in the supplied playthroughs. That establishes reactivity, but not the existence of a completion condition.

Safest choice for achievement hunters

Without a verified achievement description, preserving cameras is the reversible choice. If later evidence confirms a destruction challenge, it can be tested on a separate run.

Why the cameras matter to the story

Story observations repeatedly frame the climb as a watched performance. Cameras reinforce that theme and connect to the ending’s focus on staged action and observation.

What evidence would settle the question

A current achievement description, official developer answer, or two timestamped full-run observations showing the reward screen would move this from unconfirmed to verified.
