Source facts
What is the primary objective in the Hide and Seek game mode?
In Hide and Seek, your objective is to locate the shadow after it has finished moving to a hiding spot within the room. Ensure you do not peek while the shadow is actively relocating.
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.
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.
