Consume Guide: Before you start
About

Before you start: setup that matters
CheckThe game recommends graphics level 4 or above and headphones. Sort these things out before you queue.
- Graphics set Roblox graphics to level 4 or higher before launching.
- Headphones put them on so you can hear environmental audio clearly.
- Controls learn the three core inputs below so you are not fumbling during a chase.
Core controls
TableThere are only three controls worth memorising before your first run.
| Sprint | LShift (keyboard) / LT (controller) |
| UV | RMB (keyboard) / RT (controller) |
| Key Inventory | Q (keyboard) / DPad Right (controller) |
Staying alive: solo and co-op
TipsConsume can be played solo or with a full lobby of up to 24 players. The core loop is the same either way: run when you must, hide when you can, and communicate with your team before it is too late.
- Do not hold on to your medkit — if a teammate goes down and you have one, use it immediately.
- Sometimes one player drawing attention away lets the rest survive; do not rule out that trade.
- If you are in the lobby, join the Glazing Gorilla Games group for an easy badge with no gameplay cost.
Level milestones and what to expect
StepThere are five level-based achievements, each unlocking ten levels apart.
- Level 10 Novice Exorcist unlocks.
- Level 20 Adept Exorcist unlocks.
- Level 30 Skilled Exorcist unlocks.
- Level 40 Veteran Exorcist unlocks.
- Level 50 Master Exorcist unlocks.
Classic mode challenges worth planning for
WarnClassic mode has a set of achievements that push you in very different directions. Read what each one demands before you start a run with a specific goal in mind.
Revives, perks, and spending your currency

- Revive purchase available mid-game to bring your party back when they are down.
- Perks in-run assistance you can choose to use or skip entirely.
- Nightmare Purist requires skipping perks entirely for a solo Nightmare win.
- Level and achievement progress completely free, no purchase required at any stage.

Common questions
FAQCan I play Consume alone?
Yes. Solo play is fully supported and has its own set of achievements. Lone Survivor unlocks when you win a single-player game on any map, and Nightmare Soloist and Nightmare Purist both require solo runs on Nightmare mode.
What happens when a teammate goes down?
If you have a medkit, you can use it to revive them on the spot. You can also purchase a revive for the whole party mid-game.
Do I need to spend anything to reach level 50?
No. All five Exorcist badges from level 10 to level 50 unlock through regular play with no purchase required.
