Start every night by grabbing the gramophone—looped polka tunes drain courage faster than rattling chains.
Chandeliers into library ladders is my favorite scare combo; the swooping drop makes the bravest curator sprint.
If a hunter spawns, possess the suit of armor and mash space—metallic groans keep them pinned long enough to build panic.
Don’t forget the basement bell. Ringing it three times before a possession gives a global fear boost.
Toggle Shift often—seeing fear meters dip lets me chain to the next room instead of overhaunting one target.
Ride the organ when the timer hits red; the crescendo scare clears balconies instantly.
Candles are underrated. A quick flicker trail guides intruders into the ballroom for a mega chain scare.
Use the rocking horse only after a haunting sprint—it refills ectoplasm faster than idling in corridors.
If villagers start humming, swap rooms immediately; it means they’re regaining courage and you need fresh props.
