The core loop: minigames, tools, and digging
Summary
Lessons are not just filler — completing the minigames that appear during class is how you progress. The tools and items you collect through trading with other students determine how far you can dig and how many areas you can reach.
- Minigames puzzles given to you during lessons that move the game forward when cleared.
- Trading swapping with student characters to upgrade tools or pick up useful items.
- Digging using your tools to break through ground and reach new areas.
- Exploring moving through newly opened areas to locate the exits.
The three escape endings
Check
Each ending is tied to its own badge, so you always know which ones you still need. The Basement Ending, the Freezer Ending, and the IT Ending each require you to reach a different part of the school.
- Basement Ending find and use the exit hidden in the basement.
- Freezer Ending make your way through the kitchen and out via the freezer.
- IT Ending reach the admin computer in the IT room and use it to escape.
Staying one step ahead of capture
