Vampire Survivors is technically an arcade game: It has simple inputs, and a simple objective, the difficulty ramps up fairly fast, and the main goal is to see how far you can make it. However, consistent playing reveals the game has much more to offer than meets the eye. I know I was surprised when I somehow ended up in glitch limbo looking for a way out of the madness. Turns out this means you've stumbled onto something interesting, a secret that was definitely hidden in an obscure way but that you can find with some curiosity, perseverance, or dumb luck.
You can unlock most of what the game has to offer simply by playing. Surviving for a long time, upgrading certain weapons, killing certain enemies, collecting special items, and the like, will open up other elements of the game. In terms of unlocking the secrets, the methods can be a bit roundabout, like how some Pokemon only evolve at certain times of day when you're standing in a specific spot. Despite the headache you may get trying to figure them out, these secrets can net some interesting characters, items, and even game mechanics to expand your gameplay. In order to help, we have gathered all the secrets and requirements to unlock them into this article for your convenience.
Keep in mind that some of these secrets will only be available after you've "beaten" the game. This is indicated by reaching The Eudaimonia Machine and defeating The Directer.

Unlock Moongolow by unlocking Hyper Mode for 4 other stages (done by defeating special enemies that appear around 25 minutes)
Survive in Moongolow for 14 minutes and then defeat the special angel enemy that appears

Defeat the Sketamari to collect the Scrolls
Once this is done, you'll be able to access the Secrets Menu from the Main Menu and enter codes to unlock almost all other game features.
