Basic loop: hide, survive, spend
Step
Each round is a single night. Before the night starts, find a hiding spot fast. Survive to the end and you earn points, which you spend on tools and items. Only 1,000 points are saved at any time, so sitting on a pile is wasteful — keep spending as your total climbs.
- Scout a hiding spot run around the map as soon as the round loads and pick your cover before the night begins.
- Sprint everywhere hold Shift on keyboard, B Button, or L2 Trigger on a controller to move faster.
- Watch the clock if the RakOOF catches you with 15 seconds or less left on the timer, you were that close to surviving.
- Spend your points once you have 100 or more to spend in one go, put them toward tools before your total hits the 1,000-point save cap.
- Chain your nights surviving seven nights in a row earns the Deadly week. badge.

Common questions
FAQWhy did my points disappear?
The game only saves up to 1,000 points at a time. Any points you earn beyond that limit are not kept. Spend at the shop regularly so you do not lose your progress.
Where do I find the Jose Duck images?
Ten duck images are placed around the map each session, but their positions are randomized every time. Search the whole map thoroughly, and keep track of how many you have spotted so you know when you have found all ten.
How do special moon nights work?
Five named moon types — Blood Moon, Nightmare Moon, Corruption Moon, Cheese Moon, and Fruits Moon — can occur in place of a normal night. Each one is its own survival challenge, and completing each for the first time unlocks a dedicated badge.
