ANSWERS FOR YOUR FIRST SESSION

Something in the Rows gameplay guide and player questions

Steam edition · Researched Nov 9, 2026 · Guide updated Nov 9, 2026.

Source facts

What is the primary objective I need to complete to escape the farm?

Your main goal is to locate and recover eight specific wards scattered across the farm, including the grain bins and caves. You must then mend any broken wards using puzzles found inside the Halloway mansion to unlock the gate.

Based on source 1.

Our guidance

How should I manage my movement to avoid being caught by the Gleaner?

Since you have no weapons, you should move carefully to avoid detection. The Gleaner tracks your footsteps and voice, so utilize hiding spots like wardrobes or the barn, and be mindful that your lit lantern is visible from a distance.

Source facts

How does the game experience differ between solo play and co-op mode?

In co-op, you play with up to three friends using proximity voice chat. If you are downed, you wake up in a coffin and must ring a bell to be rescued, but be wary as not everything appearing as your friend is trustworthy.

Based on source 1.

Source facts

Where can I find the eight wards needed to escape the farm?

The wards are scattered across various locations including the farmhouse, grain bins, windmill's cistern, caves beneath the old well, scarecrow field, bottle tree, a field altar, and the family graveyard. Each location features a unique ritual or puzzle.

Based on source 1.

Our guidance

What happens if I make a mistake while digging in the graveyard?

You must be careful when interacting with the graveyard. If you dig the wrong grave, a Halloway ghost will rise to hunt you. These spirits, along with other residents, also haunt the farmhouse and the mansion.

Based on source 1.

Source facts

How does the procedural generation affect my exploration of the mansion?

The mansion layout is dynamic, featuring over seventy rooms with hidden passages and puzzle rooms that shift every run. This ensures that the locations of broken wards and their corresponding puzzle rooms change from night to night.

Based on source 1.

Our guidance

What should I be aware of when using my lantern in the corn maze?

While your lantern provides necessary light, be cautious as it can fail and its glow is visible from a long distance across the fields. The Gleaner stalks you through the rows and is actively listening for your presence.

Based on source 1.

Source facts

Are there any tools available to help me survive dangerous encounters?

Yes, you can utilize a UV torch, salt, and various hiding spots like wardrobes or barns. Additionally, there are a handful of rare items scattered throughout the game that can help you turn a bad moment around.

Based on source 1.

Our guidance

How does the proximity voice chat impact co-op gameplay?

In co-op mode, proximity voice chat is enabled, which the Gleaner can hear. You must be careful because not everything that looks like your friend is actually your friend, adding a layer of tension to your communication.

Based on source 1.

Source facts

What is the consequence of taking a ward from its location?

Each ward you recover is guarded by a specific ritual or puzzle. Be aware that every ward you successfully take makes the hunt more dangerous, increasing the intensity of the experience as you progress toward the final gate.
