Apparition 2 [HORROR]
Controls to learn before you start
CheckThe game uses a few keys that are not obvious. The glowstick is your main tool for seeing in dark rooms, so get comfortable switching its color before you need it in a hurry.
- Backtick (`) opens your inventory
- Right mouse button cycles the glowstick's color
- Left Shift sprints while moving
- CTRL toggles free mouse mode
Chapter 1 goals and how to hit them
StepChapter 1 has three badges attached to it, and two of them stack in the same run.
- Start solo launching the game by yourself unlocks Brave Hearted the moment you begin.
- Track your time you must escape before the one-hour mark to earn Speed Runner.

Horror warnings worth reading first
WarnThese are not exaggerations. The game is built around sudden scares, so a little preparation goes a long way.
Chapter 2 and the 30 hidden plushies
TipsChapter 2 has two distinct badges. Reaching the end earns The end?, but Collector 2 only unlocks when you find every one of the 30 secret plushies hidden across the map. Just completing the chapter is not enough for Collector 2.
- Search every corner of each room — plushies are hidden throughout the map.
- Missing even one plushie means no Collector 2 badge, so be thorough before you exit.
