Before your first night

Step

In short Sorting your difficulty and settings before you enter the school saves you from unpleasant surprises mid-run.

Every session starts with a lobby where you pick your difficulty and check your settings. Getting these right before the night begins matters because you cannot change your life count once you are inside.

Pick a difficulty Easy gives you 4 lives, Normal 3, Hard 2, and Insane only 1.
Decide on voice chat you can play the whole game without a mic, but know that speaking into one will attract her, which is covered in the sound section below.
Open settings flashing lights, jumpscare volume, and performance mode can all be adjusted from inside the game.
Collect your daily reward the game offers one each time you log in, so grab it before you head in.
Choose your group the game supports solo play, a private session with friends, or matchmaking with strangers.

How a run works

Summary

In short Your only goal each night is to find the codes and reach an exit before you run out of lives.

The loop is straightforward: search the school for codes, avoid her while you do it, then escape through one of the exits once you have what you need. Losing all your lives means you switch to spectator mode and watch your teammates finish without you.

Goal　find the codes hidden around the school and use them to escape through an exit.
Locker hiding　you can duck into a locker to break line of sight, but you cannot stay inside indefinitely.
Lives　each hit costs a life; reach zero and you move to spectator mode for the rest of that night.
Spectator mode　you watch your remaining teammates from the sidelines and cannot interact with the run.
Cost　the game is free to play and you can reach the escape without purchasing anything.

Sound as a threat

Warn

In short Every noise you make is information she uses to find you, so treat silence as your most important tool.

She does not chase you at random. She moves toward the sounds players produce, which means your own behaviour is the biggest factor in whether she reaches you.

Worth watching out for

Hitting or slamming a locker produces noise that gives away your location.

Speaking into a live microphone sends your voice into the game world, and she will move toward it.

Turning voice chat off removes mic noise as a threat entirely.

She tracks footsteps, locker sounds, and mic audio all at the same time.

Difficulty levels and what they unlock

Table

In short Harder difficulties reward more prestigious badges, with A-grade clears on Hard and Insane each unlocking their own extra badge.

Each difficulty has its own badge for escaping, and Hard and Insane have a second badge reserved for players who escape with an A grade.

Difficulty	Lives	Escape badge	A-grade badge
Easy	4	Early Dismissal	—
Normal	3	School's Out	—
Hard	2	Detention Survivor	Valedictorian
Insane	1	Insane Asylum	Top of the Class

A grade: A performance rating awarded for an especially clean escape on Hard or Insane, and the unlock condition for Valedictorian and Top of the Class.
Performance mode: An in-game setting that lightens the graphical load.
Daily reward: A reward the game gives you each time you log in.

Common questions

FAQ

Do I need a microphone to play?

No. The game works fine without one. Voice chat raises the tension because speaking attracts her, but it is entirely optional and you can escape on any difficulty without ever using a mic.

Can I play alone?

Yes. The game supports one to six players, so a solo run is a valid choice. You can also join with friends privately or fill the lobby through matchmaking with strangers.

Is there anything I have to buy to finish the game?

Nothing. The game is free to play and you can reach the exit and escape without purchasing anything.
