Before you start your shift
CheckThere are two things worth doing on the game page before you ever spawn in. Liking and favoriting the game gives you a free toy gun inside it, so do that first. If you can bring friends along, do that too — the game itself says playing with others is recommended, especially for new players.
- Like and favorite the game page you get a free toy gun in-game as soon as you do
- Invite friends to your lobby up to four players can join the same session
- Complete the game twice finishing it a second time unlocks a free gamepass item from the shop
The three endings and how to reach them
Step
The game has three endings, and the badges the game awards make clear what each one requires.
- Canon Ending Survive long enough for the police to arrive at the scene without taking any special action against the creep
- Kidnapped Ending Get taken by the creep instead of escaping, which the game treats as a valid ending worth collecting
- Hero Ending (Secret) Use your weapon to stop the creep yourself; this is the secret ending and requires you to fight back rather than flee
The shop and free items
SummaryThe full story mode costs nothing. The shop exists for players who want cosmetic or novelty items.
- Main story completely free to play from start to finish
- Toy gun free, earned by liking and favoriting the game page before you play
- Free gamepass item free, earned by completing the game twice
- Shop items paid, described as fun things to troll your friends with, no effect on story or survival
- All three endings reachable without spending anything
Glossary
Glossary- The Creep
- The threat roaming the city and the gas station area — the character you are warned about on the radio at the start of the game.
- Revive
- When you are caught by the creep, a teammate can bring you back into the game rather than leaving you out for the rest of the run.
- Canon Ending
- The ending where you survive by holding out until the police arrive, without using a weapon to stop the creep yourself.
- Hero Ending
- The secret ending earned by using your weapon to defeat the creep instead of waiting or getting taken.
- Kidnapped Ending
- The ending where the creep takes you — it counts as a collectable ending, not just a failure state.
Common questions
FAQWhat does the detective badge mean for how I play?
One of the game's badges is awarded for talking to a detective about the creep, which means there is a character to seek out and speak to during a run.
Is the Hero Ending hard to reach?
It requires you to use your weapon on the creep rather than surviving passively. The toy gun you can get for free from liking the game is one item to keep in mind here.
