Begin by selecting your role as either a survivor or the hunter. As a survivor, step into the haunted dorm and build resources and defenses to protect yourself from the hunter. Use the materials collected within the room to fortify your barriers. As the butcher, your goal is to catch the defenders before they escape. Move through the dorm, breaking down defenses to access the survivors. Pay attention to the eerie atmosphere and exploit it to your advantage. The game advances through various stages, each with greater difficulty. Last as long as possible as a survivor or catch all defenders as the hunter to succeed.
