Directive 8020: plan your first session

Start with the confirmed feature set

The Official game features describes a choice-driven science-fiction horror game with real-time threats and a Turning Points story tree. Its public mode description includes local movie-night play; it describes online multiplayer as a post-launch update. Checked 29 September 2026. That wording does not establish that an online mode has shipped.

Before starting a session

  1. Open the settings and read the controls and accessibility options on your installed build. Make changes before a tense scene rather than relying on our former button-chain instructions.
  2. For a group session, confirm the exact local mode shown in your version and agree who controls each character. Do not plan remote play around an unverified Shared Story claim.
  3. Decide whether to avoid spoilers. The achievement reference can disclose outcomes, even when it does not give a route.
  4. Read the game's save and replay options before experimenting. We do not promise unrestricted rewind, an unlock after the credits, or collectible persistence.

Keep a useful progress note

Record your platform, installed version, last completed scene and what you chose. If you later compare a route, match its starting state with yours. Two similar scenes are not evidence that the same choices will produce the same result.

What this guide no longer promises

The old episode-specific QTE sequences, Curator's Cut unlock and two-player online instructions are withdrawn. No new playthrough was performed for this source review. See the questions and evidence boundaries before using a route from this collection.
