Your stats and how to check them
Step
Your character has several stats including weight, energy, and food satisfaction. When something feels off — your character is slow, skinny, or food tastes bad — low stats are almost always the reason. Press the plus button on the left side of your screen to open the stats panel and see where things stand.
- Open stats press the plus button on the left of your screen.
- Check weight if your character looks too thin, eating more will fix it.
- Check energy if your character moves slowly, sleep to raise energy back up.
- Check food satisfaction if food tastes bad, look at this number in the stats panel.
Good Noodles vs Bad Noodles
Table
The game uses Good Noodles and Bad Noodles to describe your character's overall condition. All stats sitting at 100% makes you a Good Noodle. Once any stat drops, you become a Bad Noodle, and that matters for the whole server because lights-out events are tied to how many Bad Noodles are around.
| Good Noodle | all stats at 100%. |
| Bad Noodle | one or more stats have fallen below 100%. |
Lights-out events
Warn
When enough players are in a Bad Noodle state, the lights go out for the whole server. Scientists are responsible for keeping patients' stats in good shape to prevent this.

- Read everything go through all the instructions on the board before touching anything.
- Press the button click the button the board points you to.

Common questions
FAQWhy is my character so slow and skinny?
Being skinny means you need to eat more to gain weight. Moving slowly means your energy is low, and sleeping will bring it back up.
I bought a capsule but nothing changed — what do I do?
Unclaim the item, then claim it again right away.
Why did the lights just go out?
Lights-out is triggered by how many Bad Noodles are in the server. Scientists need to care for patients and keep everyone's stats at 100% to prevent it.
How do I become a scientist?
Find the scientist board somewhere in the map, read through all the instructions on it, then press the button it tells you to press.
Food suddenly tastes bad after I ate Good Noodles — why?
When the Good Noodles stat hits 100%, other food's satisfaction drops. Check the stats panel with the plus button on the left to see where your food satisfaction sits.
