Frequently Asked Questions

Which choices raise Interest?

Use every positive source: first door question +1, ignore the first paper and talk to Mrs +1, Scientists +1, Bedroom Nothing +1, Conversation About You -> Yes -> a +1 entity answer for +2 total, The Hello-ween +1, Honey Toast +1. Total: 8.

Which choices cause Game Over?

No. The game stores 10 official endings. The Game Over is a separate Game Over and does not increment the 10 official endings.

Is there always one correct choice?

No. These are not Correct / Wrong answers. BEST raises Interest. SAFE keeps you alive. Some answers change the Ending route instead.

Does reading a Paper lower Interest?

Reading a Paper itself is not an Interest penalty. The important effect is the route change: it blocks Ending 7. You also miss the Ignore-then-talk +1 if you read the first Paper instead.

Does picking up the Knife lower Interest?

Taking the Knife is not an Interest minus. It opens the Knife route and blocks Ending 7. Interest only matters later if you use the Knife and refuse to put it down.
