Intro
Game Gives Great Nightmares For Cheap




First time making a guide, thought 'might as well do something simple and beatable within half an hour depending on how much anxiety I have today'.
It's my first guide I've written in a while and the first I've actually gotten around to completing and publishing for everyone to laugh at how bad I am at drawing maps in ms.paint.
Game Mechanics
Exploration




  • Clicking on doors once cracks them open; double clicking opens them fully. Running into doors also pushes them open.

  • When walking around and you don't hear screaming, gurgling, or feel a knife stabbing into your kidney, don't run. Stamina comes back pretty slow so unless you're heading to a vent and you're close to it, walking will save you when when you need to hide/run.

  • Inventory is painfully small, so a vast amount of your time playing will be backtracking. The game tells you have 3 spaces, but you really have 2-1. You'll always need the lighter because of how dark the game is. And, if you have terrible luck (or are just bad at the game), you'll need to carry a health drink on you. So drop items where you need them. (E.g: papers in area with the shrine room)
    Opening up the inventory does not pause the game. You will be stabbed for thinking this.

  • Depending on which ending you're going for, focus on collecting only the papers or parts and leave the rest to sit in the moldy building for the rest of time.

  • I try to focus on one floor at a time. Grab what you need and never have to worry about it again.

  • There's only 4 healing items in game, and one of them you need to buy from the vending machine. So pick these up when you can and drop them in the vent or keep one on you if you're hurt. (see map for locations)

  • Locked doors WILL ♥♥♥♥ you over. When you reach a new area, unlock the doors you need to when you can. They take a second to open while being unlocked, so unlocking when being chased might make you take a hit.

  • Spiders are ( U |\| T S. Dark Specks in a Dark School on Dark Floors. If you can't move its probably one of the spiders. If there's a spider in your path and you feel like you might be chased its best to just take the 2 nibbles while mashing left click on them.


Aka Manto
"How The F u c k Is He Front Of Me (Again)"


The main problem for you will be The Red Chad and His Swagger Walk™
  • Japanese writing will show up on screen when Aka Manto is close by. He won't look in rooms/stalls if he doesn't know you're in there so use the wingdings to stay safe.

  • When the screen gets a static effect that means you're looking at him or he teleported. So be prepared for chase music to suddenly start playing.

  • Any Red Portals he leaves around are places he'll teleport to. If you see a red portal it means he's in the area or he's about to be in the area. They do despawn so if you feel like waiting it out, you can.

  • Aka Manto can walk right through doors (but not walls) so don't bother closing them behind you.

  • If he knows you're in a room that you need something in, its best to wait in a locker and watch him then jump out right when he leaves. If you hide while he's looking at you, he will pull open the door and lock you in the corner.



'I'm fast as ♥♥♥♥ boi'

  • When you get half way through the game, Aka Manto will become 'slightly upset' at you not letting him kill you. You'll know when he's mad when you hear a scream echo through the map.
    You'll also know when you get stabbed, hear a deep scream, start running, and turn around to see him right behind you staring into your soul.

  • Aka Manto gets a darker cloak making him harder to spot (not that it matters for how dark everything is) and his eyes open to show when he's hyper aggressive. And he's faster. Like weebs running to the single asian at their school fast, however he doesn't seem to do more damage but jesus christ is he fast.

  • At this point, running in bursts is ideal if you're being chased and what you're trying to get to is far away. Holding shift, then releasing for a second so a little of your stamina comes back, then running again keeps you from being out of breath and in range for a Aka Spanking.

  • From personal pant ruining moments, even if you manage to lose him, he'll teleport somewhere in front of you then slap you for thinking you're safe. Enraged Aka Manto likes teleporting more than anything if he realizes he's not going to catch you.



The Mask
You Can (Not) Escape


He floats around, is silent, and over all really ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ creepy.
  • If he sees you, he'll alert Aka Manto to you but he won't do any physical damage to you
    (Psychological damage however, will be severe)
  • Make sure it doesn't know what room you're going into otherwise Red Cloaked ♥♥♥♥ will show up a few seconds later.

  • The Mask also seems to be more visable than Aka Manto, with a faint glow to him and a higher draw distance (for some reason). So if you see white in the distance, run around.

  • If its facing you and stopped moving that usually means its seen you so hide and way for it to go away.



Centipede
*hisssss*


The only thing that keep the vents from being fully safe but he's more of an annoyance than a threat. You can hide in the openings and he doesnt move very fast so you can out crawl him. When you turn off one of the fans he can crawl through there too.




Bugs/Issues

Yea the games fairly buggy. Crashes/freezes happen if you try to alt-tab. and here's a short list of stuff that I've seen happen
  • The Writing wont show up when he's is near.
  • Aka Manto will sometimes teleport directly in front of you/behind you with no warning and make you take a hit. (As in, he just spawns in me
  • Aka Manto will sometimes camp the vent/room you're hiding in.
  • Aka Manto stays on one floor and will never seem to move unless The Mask sees you.
  • Aka Manto can make you unable to crouch if you're trying to get into a vent.
  • The Mask's glow will sometimes not be there
  • The Mask can sometimes clip and hold Aka Manto in place as he runs, screaming at you.
  • Centipede can pace in one area and refuse to go anywhere else
(Also, This has only happened to me once. As I was entering alley to the pool to grab the pump, Aka Manto spawned on the pump, started doing his attack animation as he slid to the wooden doors and despawned. No chase music or scream or anything.)
Maps
Hope you like bad drawings done at 5 am.



Key Items
  1. Lighter - Your only light source in the game. If you need to drop it make sure you know where you're at and pray Aka Manto doesn't decide to show up.

  2. Crowbar - Use to break open boarded vents. There's only 3 of them. (See Vent Map)

  3. Body Model - One of two ways to beat the game. Giving him all his parts will make him come alive and hand you a rope.

  4. Pump - Used to Pump Acid into the Bucket

  5. Bucket - Pump Acid from the Toilet into the bucket to break the lock to the Pool.

  6. Acid Toilet - Someone ate Chiptole.

  7. Watering Can - Fill with water from the Pool to water the seeds that you put in the pot to get a Yen coin.

  8. Seeds - ^See Above^

  9. Pot - ^See Above^

  10. Ofuda Talisman - Use to open the Shrine room to unlock one of the other ways to beat the game.

  11. Vending Machine - Its a vending machine. That sells band-aids for some reason. After that It gives you Milk and Koppe Pan.

  12. Shrine - One of two ways to beat the game. Placing all your papers into the shrine will give you a katana.

  13. Nagisa - The little girl on the roof.

  14. Fishing Rod - Use on the pool to get a paper.

  15. Spider Spray - If you're sick of spiders sucking on your toes, pick this up to kill them

Vents


Entering the School
This is less of a 'Walk-through' and more of "Tips To Stop Your Head From Turning Into A Convertible".
Keep glancing back to my map, it'll help, I promise.

After the two girls tell you to hurry up and go get killed, turn left and walk until you see the door to enter the school.

Set Up
You'll have to do this regardless of what ending you're going for.
The first few minutes are uneventful and slightly boring.

  • Go into the Women's Bathroom, grab the Red Paper and Key and unlock the door.

  • Drop the key in the corner and pick up the lighter in the closet to your left. As you're going to pick up the crowbar, drop the red paper in front of the Shrine room (Room that's "being held by an evil spirit").

  • After getting the crowbar, enter either of the two vents and break all the remaining boards and then discard it.

  • Crawl through the vents and drop down into the cage with the wiring, pick it up and run straight ahead into the bathrooms. Crawl back through the vents and place it in the box in the power room (Room with the Yellow Star on the map).





Escaping Ending
Getting All The Body Parts

The easier and less stressful of the two endings.
After you collect two parts you can drop them off at the body model. (but I try to do it all at once at the end because I have a single brain cell that's focusing on cheese)

  • Pull the 2nd lever from the left and go through fan 2. Drop through the hole, turn right going down the hall and grab the part from the room on the left. Go into the science room, place it on the body model.

  • Turn left, head down the stairs and unlock the door. Run to the power run and pull the 3rd Lever, then run to the vent.

  • Start by getting the nose in the vents and dropping it off in the closet room (or at the vent 2 entrance). Turn around and head to the 3rd Vent Entrance, pick up the two parts from the rooms closest to you then take them to the closet.

  • Run to the pool entrance and Pick up the pump, run back to the bathroom with the acid toilet.
    Pick up the bucket, and use the pump on the acid toilet. Drop the pump, and run back to the pool entrance and use the acid bucket (how) on the lock.

  • After dropping the bucket, run into the changing room and grab the next part. Run around the pool and grab the Yen on the bench. Run back to the vent, praying that Aka Manto will give you a little bit of space. Drop the parts at the closet. Head back to the acid toilet to pick up the other yen coin, then go through fan 3.

  • Leave the Yen at the vent 4 entrance. Head left, praying you don't get jump scared turning the 60 corners to the library. Turn left down the stairs and unlock the door at the bottom. Go back up and head into the Library. Push all the red books in. Grab the part in the side room then pick up the Ofuda Talisman in the drawer.

  • Head back to the vent, drop off the Talisman then head back to the dead-end you passed. It will open up, showing a medical type room with another part on the sink. Run back to the vent and drop the parts off at the closet.

  • Crawl back to pick up the Talisman you left behind, use it on the shrine room and pick up the Yen in the corner. You can now use all your Yen to buy everything from the vending machine.

  • Pick up the Koppe Pan and milk then take it to Nagisa on the roof. She'll unlock the door for you and you can now escape.

Escaping



The easier of the two endgames. Place all the parts you've collected on the model and take the rope. After getting the rope run to roof like you just realized that what you did wasn't a fart. Use the rope on the escape area and you're free to run home.and be killed by Aka Manto
Killing Aka Manto Ending
Getting All The Papers

For the Good Ending you'll need to spend more time running around and hoping Aka doesn't spawn in the area you're in. Harder and so, so much more stressful.

  • Pull the 3rd lever from the left. Crawl through the vent and pick up the paper in there. Then drop down into the locked bathroom and pick up the paper in the stall. Unlock the door then drop the papers in the closet.

  • Exit the 4th vent, run down to the cafeteria and pick up the Fishing Pole. Then head to the library and grab the Tailsman. Use it on the Shrine room. Pick up the Yen coin and leave it in front of Fan 1. Go to the power room and pull the 2nd lever.

  • Go through the 3rd vent. Run down to the pool entrance and pick up the pump. Head back to the Acid Toilet. Take the Yen Coin to the vent. Then take the bucket and fishing pole to the pool entrance and use the bucket on the pool door.

  • Pick up the watering can. Fill the can with water and fish the paper out of the pool and pick it up. Leave the paper and can at the vent entrance. Run back to the pool and pick up the Yen on the bench, then run up the side stairs into the little room and pick up the paper behind the locker.

  • Leave the papers in the closet and the coins at Fan 3. Take the water can and grab the seeds from the science room.

  • Go back to the power room and pull the 3rd lever. Head to the library, use the seeds on the pot then water it. Pick up the Yen coin. Buy out the vending machine and give the food to the girl on the roof.

  • Pick up the paper in the room on the room. Head all the way down to the power room and pull the 1st lever. Pick up the Yen and drop it in the well. Pick up the paper it gives you.

Killing Aka Manto
Nothin personel kid



Stressful like ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ a garbage disposal unit. Walk down the hallway to the Shrine room and drop off papers 2 at a time, hoping pissed off SHITFLΛYΣR™ doesn't spawn in your hallway.
And its slightly brighter here than everywhere else, so you could get away with dropping the lighter and take 3 papers at a time.

After you place all the papers in the shrine, it'll birth out a sword.

Stab the demon and he'll melt into a little puddle of sins.

Final Thoughts

Hope this guide helped out. I hope the vent maps save people from wandering in circles and the item markings on the map make things less confusing.

lol i dont know what else to say here

GF gifted it to me while it was on sale and it costed the price of a McDonalds meal and its pretty good.
8/10, I just wish it didnt crash as much or act weird when I alt-tab out.

Also why the ♥♥♥♥ does Enraged Aka Manto sound like a Gachi? It's all i can hear now.

If there's any thing I can change or fix let me know

Mexpanic, I fucking love you for making this guide. I finally, FINALLY beat this cursed game thanks to your detailed instructions and lovely MS Paint maps. You are a true legend, and for that I give you worthless steam points.

Sometimes when he is nearby and there is no prompt on the screen, he will be easily frightened!:crying_yeti:
Spawkat Apr 22, 2021 @ 10:11pm 
Great guide! It really helped me get through the game.
GEMBOI Feb 8, 2021 @ 1:20am 
I was able to disable his attack when I was goofing off with the game that achievement was ez,
