Who or what is Runebee?
Runebee is the name attached to the “Jank Ya Later!” Steam achievement in The Skin Stapler. Its official unlock description is “Fix The Skin Stapler Tapes.”
| Official label | Runebee |
|---|---|
| Achievement title | Runebee — Jank Ya Later! |
| Official requirement | Fix The Skin Stapler Tapes. |
| Character / actor mapping | Not established by the achievement page |
| Source checked | Steam Global Achievements · Aug 13, 2026 |
The official game record establishes the Runebee spelling, the Jank Ya Later title and the tape-fix objective—nothing more about identity or exact mechanics.
What does “Fix The Skin Stapler Tapes” mean?
The official store description says distorted audio tapes taunt the police and point to something darker beneath Carrion City. The achievement confirms that fixing The Skin Stapler tapes is a tracked objective.
Neither official page gives the number of tapes, a complete repair-interface sequence, every location or the point of no return. Those details remain outside this page until current gameplay and an independent source match.
Claims that every tape is automatic, that one specific room contains them all or that the achievement is definitely missable are not supported by the current primary-source set.
Is Runebee the same as Scaroline?
No official source merges the two labels. Steam gives them separate achievements and separate requirements:
| Label | Achievement | Official requirement |
|---|---|---|
| Runebee | Jank Ya Later! | Fix The Skin Stapler Tapes. |
| Scaroline | The Tape Collector | Complete The Underworld VHS Chapter |
This distinction prevents “tape repair” and “Underworld VHS completion” from being treated as the same objective.
Is Runebee a character, a voice actor, or both?
The developer’s official Fourthwall shop page for the Special Cast Poster lists Bee — @Runebee in the Full Cast (checked Aug 29, 2026). That is the developer’s named Full Cast mapping for the handle @Runebee; it does not, by itself, state which on-screen character that performer voices or whether the achievement entity Runebee and the cast entry Bee are the same in-game figure.
The Fourthwall Full Cast establishes the “Bee — @Runebee” line. It does not prove that Runebee is an on-screen character, a creator cameo, a protagonist, an extra or only an achievement label; the Steam achievement alone never established any of those possibilities, and the shop listing does not resolve them.
How do I unlock Jank Ya Later?
The cross-checked answer is limited to Steam's wording: fix The Skin Stapler tapes. Use the complete achievement checklist to track this separately from chapter completions. A step-by-step route will be added only after the inputs and success state match across current-version source.
