Before you start: settings and warnings
CheckIn short
Getting your settings right before you load in makes a real difference to how the game feels.
The game is designed around atmosphere, so the way you set it up matters from the moment you press play. The game also contains flashing lights and loud noises, so read the in-game warning before you start — if you are sensitive to either, adjust accordingly.
- Set graphics to the maximum the horror effects are built for the highest setting.
- Put on headphones the audio design is a core part of the experience.
- Read the flashing-light and loud-noise warning before you continue.

How Story Mode works
StepIn short
Story Mode is about exploring carefully, collecting clues, and piecing together the hotel's mystery before Petapeta catches you.
Clues and items are hidden throughout the building, and gathering them is how you push the story forward. Petapeta is always somewhere in the hotel, so staying alert is just as important as exploring.
- Search every room clues and items are scattered across the hotel.
- Watch for Petapeta when you sense it nearby, decide quickly whether to hide or run.
- Combine what you find matching clues together is how the mystery moves forward.

Story Mode vs. PvP Mode
Table
In short
The two modes ask for completely different skills, so knowing which one you are jumping into helps you prepare.
PETAPETA gives you two separate ways to play, and they feel nothing alike. Story Mode is a solo puzzle-and-survival experience, while PvP Mode puts you up against other players with your own customized build.
| Goal | Story Mode: survive by solving the hotel's mystery; PvP Mode: outmaneuver other players. |
| Opponents | Story Mode: Petapeta; PvP Mode: real players making real decisions. |
| Progression | Story Mode: driven by clues you collect; PvP Mode: driven by your choice of Perks and build. |
| Cost | PvP Mode: free of Zeni during the current event period. |
05
PvP Mode and the Perk system
Tips
In short
PvP rewards players who plan their build ahead of time rather than reacting on the fly.
PvP Mode puts players against each other on a map where escape routes are limited and Petapeta is a constant pressure. The August 14, 2024 update expanded the Perk system, and a further PvP Mode Ver. 2.0 update followed. Surviving comes down to picking the right Perks and making fast decisions in the moment.
Tips worth knowing
- New Perks added in the August 14, 2024 update open up strategies that were not available before.
- PvP is free of Zeni during the current event period.
