Is this a bug or what?

[dread]

There's like 2 anomalies where no matter what I just die.

One is the dollhouse type item that when approached you hear a door open. Well, I immediately die after hearing the door open.

Another is the dad is behind the window and not in the house, no matter what you do when you go outside he chases you down and kills you. The buttons on the machine are gone as well.

Am I missing something with those 2?

Neither is a bug. Here's what to do.

The model cabin: The red figure in the mini-cabin is you, the green figure is the invisible spirit of the father, which enters from the front door. You're getting killed because he's passing through you, or you're walking into him. He can't see you, so he's not chasing you, but follows a set path around the cabin.

You have to use the model cabin to see where he is. Start by standing on the far side of the model to avoid him when he comes in, wait for him to enter via the door, and then when he's well inside, exit the cabin.

The dad walking behind the window: The first time you go outside, you're not really outside, it's an illusion.

So, with the dad chasing you, run towards the stairs/doors to the right of the elevator and go through them. You'll end up back in the cabin, and you can now exit properly, and the buttons will be back.


If you get stuck again I've written a full anomaly guide / walkthrough here:

worked out the dad walking behind the window but couldn't work out the model cabin, much appreciated ")

I figured out the model cabin. Although, it seems to spawn upstairs sometimes and once it triggers it was instantly killing me for some reason. When it spawned in the middle of the living room, I was able to finally see how it was supposed to work haha. Also, yeah I figured out that when you're outside, you're supposed to run through the "exit" door that opens up. Just wasn't hearing it open and noticing it the first go around.

The upstairs one is harder because the boy and the dad and the girl are all moving, but I think it's only supposed to appear after you've cracked the downstairs one. I found the easiest way to deal with it was to jump down the side of the stairs when the girl reached the top.
