Game Guide
1. Start Choice: Difficulty Adaptation and Pre-Game Preparation
New players should prioritize the "Easy Mode": this difficulty triggers highlight prompts for abnormal objects and reduces the frequency of horror sound effects, making it ideal for getting familiar with the game's control logic. If you're seeking a challenge, "Hard Mode" requires manual recording of clue connections—we recommend preparing paper and a pen to organize information. After launching the game, first observe the layout of the initial scene, memorize the exit location and key interaction points (such as desks and display cabinets) to lay the groundwork for subsequent exploration.
2. Scene Exploration: Core Tips for Efficient Clue-Hunting
Traverse scenes using the "3D Scanning Method": inspect in the vertical order of "ceiling → walls → floor." Hidden clues (like tiles engraved with symbols) are often found in concealed spots such as chandelier gaps and mural corners. Focus on two types of objects: first, items with striking colors (red notebooks, rusted tools, etc.—over 70% of these are key clues); second, furnishings with logical anomalies (portraits hung upside down, desk lamps that are on without being plugged in). Click to mark anomalies immediately after discovery to avoid the need for repeated backtracking due to omissions.
3. Clue Handling: The Logic of Solving Puzzles from Fragments
After submitting a clue, immediately build a "Connection Tree" in your mind: categorize clues from the same scene (e.g., link reagent bottles in the laboratory to formulas on the blackboard) and mark connection points for cross-scene clues (e.g., sheet music in the library may correspond to radio frequencies in the broadcast room via homophones). When stuck, use the "Hypothesis Verification Method": for example, prioritize trying number combinations from the scene (such as calendar dates or class sign numbers) for safe passwords; if that fails, backtrack to find encryption hints. Making three consecutive wrong puzzle-solving attempts will trigger the hint mechanism—pay attention to objects that move automatically in the scene (such as slightly open drawers).
4. Progress Advancement: Unlocking Areas and Dealing with Atmosphere
After using core clues to unlock a new area, prioritize collecting all clues in the current scene before moving on—while backtracking takes time, it increases the trigger rate of hidden elements to over 80%. To cope with distractions from the horror atmosphere, use the "Goal Focus Method" to shift your attention: concentrate on the cycle of "finding anomalies → submitting → solving puzzles" and ignore meaningless horror sound effects. The final chapter requires integrating clues from all areas; focus on checking unconnected fragments (such as scattered photos and diary pages)—these are often the key to uncovering the school's dark truth.
