Controls to learn before you start

Check

In short Getting your controls down before anything goes wrong saves you from panicking in the dark.

The tablet is your main tool for reporting anything strange, so knowing how to pull it out quickly matters. Your flashlight is just as important, since the house has plenty of dark corners that hide anomalies.

Equip the tablet R on PC, or the side button on mobile
Toggle the flashlight F on keyboard, or Gamepad B
Sprint Left Shift on keyboard, or Gamepad R1
Escape a reporter Jump to put distance between you

What counts as an anomaly

Tips

In short Anomalies come in several forms, so you need to stay alert to changes in both objects and the creatures around you.

The house will not look the same from one moment to the next. Objects can vanish, warp, or appear where they should not be, and strange humanoids will show up without warning. Every one of these counts as something to report.

Tips worth knowing

A missing object is worth reporting
Distorted objects are also anomalies
Unrecognizable creatures and intruders must be reported through your tablet

Surviving reporters

Warn

In short When a reporter spots you, your only move is to run and jump — do not stop to use the tablet.

Reporters are the unrecognizable creatures and intruders that actively come after you.

Worth watching out for

The moment a reporter notices you, hit Sprint and do not stop

Use Jump while sprinting to gain extra distance

Do not open your tablet while being chased

Winning the night

Summary

In short Surviving to 6 AM with all anomalies reported is the only win condition.

The game ends when the clock reaches 6 AM. Between now and then, every unexplainable event and every strange creature needs to go into your report. Hard mode raises the difficulty for players who want a bigger challenge.

Goal　stay alive inside the house until 6 AM
Reporting　log every anomaly you find with your tablet before the night ends
Hard mode　a tougher version of the game
Players per session　up to 28 people can play in one room, or you can go in solo
