The core loop
Step
The game drops you into a world where it is permanently 3AM. Your job is to contact the characters who have been digitally copied into the game and uncover what each one wants.
- Call or text characters and wait for a response
- Each character has different goals escaping, playing, ignoring you, or trying to pull you into the screen
- Go back again contacting the same character more than once can unlock new dialogue and events
- New characters arrive every month
Character badges and how to earn them
Table
Each badge is awarded the moment you call that character. Work through the list to collect all five.
| Character | How to earn the badge |
|---|---|
| Barbie | Call Barbie |
| Skibi | Call Skibi |
| Amanda | Call Amanda |
| Wednesday | Call Wednesday |
| The Hand | Call The Hand |
Getting more out of each character
Tips
The characters trapped in the game each have their own agenda. Learning what that is takes more than a single interaction.
- Call or text the same character multiple times — new lines and events can appear after the first contact
- Pay attention to what each character says; some want out, some are comfortable, and some are after you
- New characters arrive every month, so checking back in regularly is worth it
