Our guidance

How do I interact with visitors at the front door?

When a visitor knocks, you must open the door to view a full-motion video. Once the video plays, you choose whether to give them candy or tell them you are all out using the number keys 1-4.

Source facts

What happens if I turn away a real child?

If you refuse to give candy to a real child, they will egg your house. This forces you to go out onto the porch and clean the mess with a sponge before any other visitors can knock.

Based on source 1.

Our guidance

Is it possible to ignore the doorbell?

No, you cannot ignore the doorbell. If you do not answer, the knocking will become louder and faster, eventually turning into pounding until you finally open the door to address the visitor.

Our guidance

How can I learn more about the secrets hidden in the house?

You should complete the eight jigsaw puzzles found at the dining table. Each puzzle has a handwritten note taped to the back that provides hints about what is hiding within the house.

Our guidance

Can I communicate with my boyfriend during the game?

Yes, you can check your phone by pressing Tab to access your text thread. Sending a text to your boyfriend might prompt him to come over to the house during your shift.

Source facts

What should I do if I die during the night?

The game features checkpoints at the start of each hour. If you die, you will be sent back to the beginning of the current hour rather than the very start of the night.

Our guidance

Are there specific actions I should avoid regarding the faceless man?

You may see a faceless man standing under the trees in the yard. If you approach him, he will back away, but you should be careful not to stare at him for too long.

Based on source 1.

Our guidance

How do I manage the puzzles once they are finished?

After completing a jigsaw puzzle, you can frame it and hang it on the wall. You are able to walk up to these framed puzzles at any time to read the notes again.

Based on source 1.

Our guidance

What are the controls for sitting or climbing?

To sit down or climb, such as when accessing the attic, you should use the Q key. Other movement controls include WASD for walking, Space to jump, and Shift to run.

Our guidance

Are there any specific environmental interactions to be wary of?

You should be cautious of several things, including the woman in the well on the TV, the potted plant that grows teeth by the window, and you must never leave the front door open.
