Core gameplay loop
Step
The goal is to escape the manor by opening doors to move between areas and solving whatever puzzle or challenge each area puts in front of you. At the same time, monsters roam the house on their own, so you need to stay aware of where they are and run when one gets close. Playing with friends makes both sides of the game easier — one person can work on a puzzle while others keep watch.
- Find the next door moving deeper into the manor is how you make progress
- Solve the puzzle or challenge in that area before pushing forward
- Watch for monsters they move through the house independently
- Run when a monster gets close
- Split the work in co-op have one player on puzzles while others watch for threats
