Lone player: start immediately with solo puzzles and timed doors. Two players · same computer: share a keyboard or use two gamepads. Neither needs a room. Two players · online: connect separate phones or computers with a private room and passcode. Both co-op options let you choose a rope or move separately with faster ghosts.

Q / L throws a distraction bell in the direction you face. It draws the ghost away for 3.4 seconds. Hold E / Right Shift to sneak, pull a swimmer or free a captured partner nearby. You have 20 seconds to reach them. Rescued players get a brief shield.

The Drowned follows water splashes. The Bellkeeper hears running on dry floors during its listening cycle: hold action to sneak. The Jaw marks a spot before charging: move or jump. Green sanctuaries are safe.

Runes: follow the shown order, alternating players. Lanterns: tap action to turn your dial to the clue. Bells: ring opposite bells within 3 seconds. Solo players handle every part themselves. Puzzle rooms save your checkpoint; solved puzzles stay solved.

Run to the edge, then jump. Spikes flash amber before rising; wait at the rim or jump clear. Jump over the swinging blade. Rotten wood collapses quickly. Solve the preceding puzzle, then hold the brass door pad while your partner crosses to violet. Solo: you get 5 seconds to cross.

Outfits are cosmetic. Each personality gives one small bonus, shown in the wardrobe. Progress saves in this browser at sanctuaries and puzzles. Save & leave resumes safely at your latest checkpoint. Record makes a downloadable clip of the 3D view, up to 3 minutes, without microphone audio.
