Your first steps in each room
Step
In short
A slow, thorough look around at the start saves a lot of backtracking later.
Before you touch anything, walk the whole room and take in every corner, wall, and surface.
- Scan the whole room walk every corner before focusing on any single object.
- Pick up everything items you collect will be needed to open locks or answer puzzles later.
- Note the exits spotting doors and passages now means you won't panic when you need them.

02
Working through the puzzles
TipsIn short
Clues almost always connect to each other, so keep comparing what you find rather than treating each one separately.
Most puzzles in this game require you to combine information from more than one clue — a single item rarely gives you the full answer. If you're stuck on one puzzle, move to a different part of the room and come back; a new clue can make an old one click into place. Write down any numbers or symbols you see on lock screens, because you'll need them again later.
Tips worth knowing
- Look for links between colours, shapes, and numbers across different clues.
- Revisit spots you've already checked — easy-to-miss clues turn up on a second pass.
- Jot down lock codes and symbols so you don't have to retrace your steps.
- Move on when you're stuck and return with fresh eyes after finding something new.

Dealing with the enemy
Warn
In short
Getting caught ends the run, but you can restart the same room as many times as you need.
At some point during your escape, a scary enemy will appear and start chasing you. The horror here isn't extreme, but you do need to react quickly. Because you already scouted the layout at the start, you'll know where to run. Getting caught means game over, but the game lets you jump straight back in and try again.
Worth watching out for
Know your exits before the enemy appears
panic is harder when you already have a route in mind.
Use quieter moments to observe the room so you have options when the chase starts.
Game over is not the end
you can retry the same room as many times as you like.
Turning down your volume is a valid way to make the experience less intense.

Common questions
FAQCan I play this by myself?
Yes, the game is built around solo play. You set your own pace and work through the clues on your own.
Do I have to start over from the very beginning after a game over?
No — when the enemy catches you, you go back to the start of that room, not the whole game. You can jump straight back in and try again with everything you already know about the layout.
