Something Evil Will Happen is a disaster-survival game where you dodge randomly chosen disasters, fight other players, and build up resources to grow stronger each round. This guide covers how to survive your first rounds, spend your Dosh wisely, handle disasters, and earn Glory efficiently.
When you first launch the game, a tutorial appears. Work through it completely — it teaches movement, jumping, attacking, and how rounds progress. Skipping it means going into your first real round without knowing the basics, which makes surviving much harder. Once the tutorial is done, you will have a clear picture of what each round asks you to do.
The next survey is being prepared.
Each round, a randomly chosen disaster joins the opposing players in trying to take you down. Because the type changes every time, you cannot prepare for a specific one — you have to react fast when the warning hits your screen.

You earn Dosh during rounds and spend it in the gear shop on weapons, armour, and support items. You start each run with nothing, so the order you buy things matters. The shop covers three broad categories, and choosing between them depends on how your round is going. Free-to-play players can absolutely compete — tactics and positioning close the gap against better-equipped opponents.
| Defensive gear | reduces damage taken, extends survival time, and therefore increases the Heat you build up over a round. |
| Offensive gear | lets you take down nearby players quickly and grab their Dosh. |
| Support items | movement speed boosts and healing apply in almost every situation. |
Heat builds up automatically while you survive, and the total Heat you carry when a round ends determines your Glory reward. Killing players earns Dosh, but dying early cuts your Heat short. Playing multiple rounds consistently adds up faster than trying to dominate a single one.
When you do fight, attacking from the side or behind connects more reliably than charging someone head-on. Against a group, maintaining distance and waiting for an opening is far safer than committing to a full brawl. If your health drops to a dangerous level, retreating is a legitimate play — come back with a gear purchase or wait for a partial recovery before re-engaging.

Yes — free-to-play players can earn Dosh in-game and buy gear through normal play. Tactics and positioning close the gap against players with stronger equipment.
Spend it on defensive gear first. Staying in the round longer builds more Heat, which means more Glory at the end.
The game displays a warning on screen just before each disaster hits, so your job is to watch for it and move immediately. Over several rounds you will start recognising which areas become dangerous for each disaster type.
Stay alive as long as possible, because Glory is tied directly to the Heat you accumulate over the round.
Do not try to fight multiple players at once — move away and create distance before re-engaging. Find a part of the map with fewer players and use that space to build Heat safely.
