Once the game starts, familiarize yourself with the control scheme as it is displayed on the screen after the initial cutscene. Head left next and then take another left to enter a small hallway. Go inside the last room on your right and interact with the broken glass on the floor.

Your phone will start ringing after you investigate the broken glass. Go out of this room, turn left, head straight, and go inside the bathroom, which is the last room on your left. Interact with the toilet here to find your phone.

If the phone has not yet spawned inside the bathroom, then go inside the bedroom and interact with the toy rabbit on the shelf.

You’ll need to head to your bedroom now. Get out of the bathroom, turn right, head straight, and enter the room on your left. Interact with the bed here to look under it. You can find your house keys on the right side under the bed.

Once you’ve found your keys, you’ll start hearing some noise. Go through the entire apartment to look for the source and enter the kitchen to trigger some dialogue. Go back to your bedroom and sleep on your bed.

The Midnight Jumpscare

Something wakes you up in the middle of the night, and the power is also out at the moment. Go outside your bedroom, take a left, and interact with the drawer here to find a lighter, which you can use as a light source. 

It’s time to search the house, so start with the room on your right, and search the cupboard here. Next, go through the sliding drawer inside the bedroom. Search the drawer and the fridge inside the kitchen as well. 

Interact with your apartment door, too. Lastly, enter the bathroom, and interact with the shower curtains to find a toy rabbit inside. Go back to bed, and you’ll start hearing some noise again.

You will enter a different hallway, but you need to keep going forward. Take the first right at the end and click on the elevator that’s currently on the fifth floor. An enemy will stalk you on your left from the hallway, so quickly enter the elevator once it opens.

You will now switch to playing as Anna, who is currently inside her office. Wait for your telephone to start ringing and pick it up once it does. You’ll hear a lot of static, after which Anna goes back to working again.

Some weird noise will be heard again, so look around you to spot something out of the ordinary. Continue working on your computer, and eventually, the power goes out in the office. After some time, Anna turns on her flashlight. Use this light to look behind you for a jumpscare.

Anna stands up, and you’ll be tasked with finding the circuit breaker. Immediately turn around and spot the red exit sign in front of you. Run towards this sign, and you should find the circuit breaker on the right side under the sign. Interact with the breaker to restore the power.

You will eventually cross a road and go through a broken wall to reach the tower. Keep moving towards this tower, and a cutscene should play when you get cell network at the end.

Once you make a call to the police, start retracing your steps back to your friend. Just turn around and keep heading straight through the wall. There’s a small problem, however, the enemy is waiting for you near the broken wall, and he will have fixed the wall to block your path.

Sophia takes her pepper spray out, and you can use it to stop the enemy for some time, which allows you to escape. 

Run towards the signal tower and take a left at the end, followed by another left. You will find wire cutters inside a cart on your left. Pick these up, head straight ahead, take another left, and start cutting the wires that are blocking your path.
