The two sides and their goals
Table
Every match puts players on one of two sides. Survivors work together to reach the escape point before the executioner catches them all. The executioner's only job is to take down every survivor before anyone gets out. These two goals pull in opposite directions, which is what creates the tension.
| Survivors | reach the escape point while avoiding the executioner |
| Executioner | eliminate all survivors before any of them escape |
| Survivor count | up to six players on the surviving side |
| Win condition (executioner) | every survivor is eliminated before escape |
Reading the lobby before the match
Step
The lobby is your best preparation tool. Character details and recent changes are posted in specific spots, so take a moment to look around before the round begins. Knowing what abilities the executioner has — or what your own survivor can do — changes how you play from the first second.
- Check the left side survivor character information is posted there
- Check the right side executioner character information is posted there
- Check the back the full changelog and update notes are displayed there
- Note the abilities each character has unique traits, so read them rather than guessing
Staying alive as a survivor
Tips
As a survivor, your biggest advantage is numbers. The executioner has to deal with up to six of you, so spreading information and coordinating with teammates can help the group survive.
- Use voice chat or text chat to keep your team updated in real time
- Check the lobby's left side before the match so you know what your survivor can do
Hunting survivors as the executioner
Tips
The executioner has unique abilities that differ depending on which character is assigned. Spend time in the lobby reading the right-side board so you understand exactly what your character can do.
- Read your character's ability description on the lobby's right side before every match
- Use your character's movement and vision advantages to cover ground quickly
Playing with friends
Check
The game supports up to six players on the survivor side, and that number matters. A group that communicates has a serious edge over one that scatters.
- Everyone in the group has joined the same lobby
- Voice chat or another way to communicate is set up before the match starts
Sound and bugs
WarnThe game intentionally includes loud sounds and music as part of the horror experience, so an unexpected loud moment can catch you off guard.

Common questions
FAQWhat happens if the executioner eliminates every survivor?
The executioner wins as soon as all survivors are taken down before anyone escapes.
The game had a loud jump scare — can I reduce that?
Loud sounds are an intentional part of the game. Turning down your system volume or headphone volume before you load in is the most reliable way to soften the impact.
Something broke mid-match — what should I do?
Restart the game first, since that resolves many common issues. If the problem keeps happening, the developer is still working through bugs, so checking back after an update is the next step.
