Our guidance

How should I approach the Storm Chaser mode?

Since your batteries are depleted in Storm Chaser, you should wait for lightning strikes to illuminate the room. Use these brief flashes to spot the shadow, as this mode functions as a fast-paced lightning round.

Source facts

What is the difference between Custom Mode and Endless Mode?

Custom Mode allows you to select specific game modes and adjust difficulty settings. Conversely, Endless Mode provides a progressively harder experience where the shadow moves quickly and frequently changes the game mechanics.
