About
OverviewHome Alone (Anomaly) drops you inside a house at night while strangers knock at your door — and some of them are not what they claim to be. You check the cameras, listen to what visitors say, and decide whether to open the door or leave the porch light off. This guide walks you through surviving each night, reading visitors correctly, and making the most of multiplayer.

Your first night — the basic loop
Step
In short
Every night comes down to the same four actions, so learn them before anything else.
When a knock comes, resist the urge to open the door straight away. You have time to gather information before you commit to a decision.
- Check the cameras pull up the camera feed and get a clear look at whoever is at the door.
- Listen carefully hear out what the visitor says before forming any opinion.
- Compare the story to what you see decide whether the explanation matches the person's appearance and behaviour.
- Open the door only if you are confident if anything feels off, leave it shut.
- Turn off the porch light use this as a signal when something is wrong and you do not want to engage.
- Collect your cash surviving the night and handling visitors correctly earns you in-game money.

02
Reading visitors correctly
TipsIn short
No single clue is enough on its own — combine everything you notice before you decide.
Some visitors genuinely need help; others are dangerous anomalies blending in. The more nights you complete, the more familiar the visitor patterns become.
Tips worth knowing
- Check whether the visitor's appearance actually matches what they are claiming about themselves.
- Notice anything unnatural about the way they move or speak.
- Think about whether it makes sense for someone to be knocking at that time of night.
- Do not decide after only one clue — wait until you have weighed the appearance, the story, and the behaviour together.

What changed in Update 8
Table
In short
The update added a second night and a new visitor type, so the patterns you learned on night one do not cover everything anymore.
Update 8, released on March 9, 2026, expanded the game beyond a single night.
| Night count | one night before the update, two nights now. |
| Visitor roster | a new visitor type was added alongside the existing ones. |
| Jump scares | new scare animations were added as part of the update. |
05
Porch light management
CheckIn short
Keeping track of the porch light is a small habit that pays off every single night.
The porch light can go out on its own during a night. Make these checks part of your routine.
- Glance at the porch light whenever a new knock comes do not assume it is still on.
- Switch it back on if it has gone dark and you need a better look at the visitor.
- Turn it off deliberately when you sense something is wrong and do not want to encourage the visitor.

Troubleshooting bad runs
Check
In short
Most mistakes come from skipping one of the basic checks, not from the game being unfair.
If you keep hitting game over, run back through these questions before your next attempt.
- Did you check the camera before deciding or did you go straight to the door?
- Did you let the visitor finish speaking before making a call?
- Did you look for a mismatch between the story and the appearance?
- Was the porch light on when you needed it to be?
- Did you base the decision on more than one clue?
07
Playing with friends
Tips
In short
Multiplayer adds a social layer on top of the survival game, and the jump scare items are central to it.
The game supports multiple players, and each person faces their own decisions. The jump scare items give you a way to mess with friends.
Tips worth knowing
- Use jump scare items to startle friends — this is a built-in feature, not a glitch.
- Each player judges from their own perspective.
