🧠 General Advice (Before Starting a New Game)

Controls

  • Select: cycle tool between magnifying glass (examine), hand (move/get), and speech bubble (talk)
  • Start: open menu, access inventory
  • A: action/confirm
  • B: cancel/return
  • D-pad moves cursor

Caution

There are many bugs in this game, some of which can cause your progress to regress in weird ways. Following these steps closely should avoid them. One thing to specifically avoid is examining the windows, which can sometimes send you back suddenly to the previous night but leave some tasks done while reverting others. If this happens, you can try to continue or choose to reset, as the game is quite short and this is an unstable/undefined state.


🏆 Playthrough 1: Bad Ending, Paranormal Events, and Hidden Scene (9 achievements - 25 points)

We'll unlock most of the achievements in this set during the first playthrough, including all paranormal events, the bad ending, and the hidden scene.

Warning

Don't use the hand tool on Papa during Day 3 to avoid triggering the good ending and voiding the bad ending / hidden scene achievements.

Reflection

Witness the Eyes Paranormal Event

When you first gain control, you'll be in a nightmare sequence running through a cave. Simply move forward (up) and around the walls to make it to the end of this sequence. There's no need to dodge the rocks, but you can if you like. Once the dream ends you'll be standing in the entryway of a house.

Day 1
- Immediately upon starting, look (magnifying glass) at the mirror on the wall. If you don't see the eyes, simply look again until you do.

Day 1 (Cont.)
- From inventory, click the egg again and select "use", then B button twice to leave the menu

Trauma

Achievement badge icon
Complete the first day and night cycle

Night 1 (Cont.)
- Leave the bathroom to return to the hallway
- Hand tool on the left door to enter Papa's room, triggering a nightmare
- During the nightmare, use the pliers on teeth to pull them (the pliers will animate when in the right spot, though this might not actually matter where you click) - this part is optional but it does count as an "extra point" toward unlocking the hidden ending (you need 4/6 points, and we're covering all of them during this playthrough anyway, but if you miss any others this might be good insurance)
- Once the nightmare ends, this achievement will unlock and you'll be transitioned to Day 2

Day 3

WARNING: Don't use the hand tool on Papa during this day to avoid triggering the good ending and voiding the bad ending / hidden scene achievements. Some players have reported not unlocking these even if they play out after having checked Papa's blood sugar.

- Move upstairs
- Move into the room to the left of the stairs
- Hand tool on phone on the bed to get it
- Leave this room to return to the landing
- Move to hall (bottom-left corner)
- Enter Papa's room on the left (no need to use the key now that we're on Day 3)
- Speech bubble (NOT HAND) on Papa
- From inventory, use the phone to trigger some dialogue with the doctor
- Go downstairs and into the kitchen
- Hand tool on the fridge to find that there is no food
- Use phone again to trigger a scene and transition to Night 3 and the bad ending

Night 3
- Speech bubble on Papa
- Move right into living room; speech bubble on Papa
- Move right into dining room; speech bubble on Papa
- Move right into the kitchen; speech bubble on Papa
- Move upstairs, and into the room on the left; speech bubble on Papa
- Move to the bathroom; speech bubble on Papa
- Finally, move into Papa's room to trigger the ending scenes to play out, unlocking this achievement.

If for some reason Papa is responding in a forgiving way, you may have missed a step or encountered one of the game's many bugs, as this indicates having triggered the good ending instead.

This achievement counts as the win condition for beating the game.

The True Monster

Achievement badge icon
Witness the hidden ending

As long as you followed the above steps, you should get an additional "hidden" scene showing a Game Boy after the normal bad ending scenes finish playing out. The specific requirements are to trigger at least four points out of a possible six (five paranormal events, plus pulling teeth during the nightmare in Night 1) as well as triggering the bad ending. Additionally, if you check Papa's blood sugar before using the phone or entering the kitchen on Day 3, this will not unlock (even if you still trigger the bad ending, and reportedly according to some players, even if the hidden scene actually appears).

🏆 Playthrough 2: Good Ending and Hidden Doll (2 achievements - 5 points)

We'll be following a similar, more minimal set of steps during this second playthrough to discover the hidden doll and unlock the good ending. Note that the doll can actually be found on either playthrough, but I personally found it simpler to do it during this minimal playthrough.
