THE GOAL

You're at a party. You don't want to be at this party. Slip out the door without getting caught in a conversation. That's it.

The door is at the top. People are between you and it. Some are dangerous. Some are very dangerous.

CONTROLS

Move: drag anywhere — the joystick appears under your thumb. Set it to LEFT, RIGHT, or FREE in Settings.

Slow walk: push the joystick less than halfway for a tighter detection footprint. Push it all the way to sprint at full speed. (Only with the Slow Walk setting on.)

Powerup: tap the glowing button (LEFT / RIGHT / CENTER — your choice in Settings) or press SPACE on desktop.

Escape a conversation: if Revival Escape is on, tap the green button rapidly to break free. Otherwise, getting caught is game over.

Pause: tap the ⏸ in the top bar at any time.

THE PEOPLE

SUB-VARIANTS

Any NPC may roll a sub-variant on spawn (the name shows in the catch screen). Difficulty raises the chance.

• Quiet / Loud versions — smaller or larger detection.
• Drunk versions — erratic, harder to predict.
• Type-A — extra fast meter.
• Hammered — flat-out chaotic.
• Political Uncle — runs you over verbally.
• Drunk Aunt — wider radius, fills meter fast, blesses you.

POWERUPS

Scattered on the floor. You can carry one at a time.

DIFFICULTY

EASY — smaller detection, slower NPCs, meter fills gently. Great for learning.

NORMAL — the intended baseline.

HARD — bigger detection, faster NPCs, faster meter. Pursuers linger.

EXTREME — punishing. Earn the 🔥 Lunatic achievement.

HARDCORE 💀 — Extreme stats PLUS auto-enables every "make it harder" setting at once: photo traps, group convos, item-grabs, drink-in-hand, family NPCs, two stalkers, a Clinger, the Suspicion Meter, Chaos Events, and Late Arrivals. Mini-map is forced off. You will be warned before play.

GAME MODES

🎓 Tutorial — 30 seconds in a tiny room. Learn the basics.

Story — 10 levels split into 3 acts (Casual / Gatherings / Formal). Beat one to unlock the next. Each has 🥇🥈🥉 medal targets.

🎲 Daily Challenge — random level + random modifier (sprint night, crowded, dim, etc.). New one each day.

♾️ Endless — survive floor after floor. Difficulty scales every floor.

🎉 Endless Party — one infinitely scrolling room. Track time and people-passed. Flavor banners roll by.

👋 Goodbye Tour — say goodbye to a marked target without getting caught by anyone else.

🛠️ Level Editor — drop furniture and NPCs, then play. Share a code with friends.

🎄 Seasonal — 10 themed parties (NYE through Christmas, plus Halloween, Beach, more).

🎪 Large Events — 10 huge venues (Ballroom, Stadium, Carnival, Colosseum, etc.) at 3× width. Find 4 items, then the door. Three are mazes. An on-screen pointer guides you to the next objective.

🎲 Random Party — a procedurally generated chaos run, fresh every time.

🏃 Speed Exit — 3-lane auto-run sprint. Swipe to change lanes. Tap to use a powerup. About 90 seconds.

🤸 Parkour — auto-run landscape sprint. Tap anywhere to jump, tap again mid-air to double-jump. Hop on tables, chairs, and chandeliers — avoid NPCs on the ground AND drunks on the chandeliers. ~90s, one continuous run across House Party → Wedding → Stadium → Nightclub → The Exit.

SETTINGS GUIDE

Slow Walk — adds tap-vs-push speed control.

Group Convos — adds clumps of 2–3 NPCs already talking. Walking into the dashed circle = instant catch.

Photo Traps — adds stationary Selfie People with cone vision.

Multiple Exits — some levels gain a second door. Sometimes faster, sometimes guarded.

Phone Events — random calls during play. ANSWER for invisibility, IGNORE to keep moving.

Mini-Map — corner map with NPCs, groups, the door.

Cinematic Intros — flavor text before each level.

Require Items — levels gain a required keychain/coat/purse pickup. Door is locked until you grab everything.

Bathroom Decoy — adds hidable bathroom doors. Step in to disappear for 2 sec.

Drink in Hand — you must drop your drink at a table before leaving. The door rejects you otherwise.

Family NPCs — adds Aunts and Uncles to applicable levels.

Stalker — spawns The Lurker. Follows you the whole level.

Clinger 🧲 — adds one pink NPC who looks innocent. Cross their detection radius once and they latch onto you forever. They never give up.

Patrol Routes — some NPCs walk fixed paths instead of wandering.

Revival Escape — caught in a convo? Tap-mash to escape. With it OFF, getting caught is instant game over.

Costume Party 🎭 — every NPC and selfie is disguised in gray until they spot you. You can't tell types apart by color. Route by caution, not knowledge.

Chaos Events 🎉 — at 15s, 35s, and 60s, a random event fires: 🔥 Fire Alarm scrambles everyone, ⭐ VIP Arrival migrates NPCs to one point, 🎵 Music Drop freezes them but expands their detection, 🥂 Toast Time freezes everyone (no catch possible), 📸 Group Photo rushes them to a target, 🗣️ Awkward Silence doubles detection for 3 seconds.

Late Arrivals 🚶 — new NPCs filter in from the bottom doorway over time. Cadence accelerates: every 15s early, every 8s mid-run, every 5s late. Caps at 2× the starting crowd. They get a 1.5s grace fade-in.

Suspicion Meter 🚨 — a vertical bar on the left fills while anyone can see you. ~20 seconds to fill in standard levels, 40 in Large Events. Hit 100% and "THEY KNOW" — every NPC in the level locks onto you with +50% detection, music speeds up, and the only way out is the door (or the catch screen). Phone Calls drain the meter.

Developer Mode 🛠 — testing-only toggle. Unlocks all hats, colors, levels, and shows all achievements as unlocked without modifying your real save data.

TIPS

• Edges of the room are quieter. Most NPCs hover near the middle.
• Save powerups for the host at the door.
• Slow walk past Chatters and Bosses; sprint past Drunks.
• Selfie cones rotate slowly — wait for the gap, don't run through.
• The Ex sees from anywhere on Hard. Drink early.
• If a Lurker is spawning, you'll see a faint figure fade in for 1.5 sec — that's your warning.
• A Clinger looks like a sparkly ✨ pink dot — give them a wide berth. Once you cross their radius, they never stop.
• During Toast Time 🥂 you can walk through anyone — they can't catch you while frozen with a glass up.
• If the Suspicion Meter is climbing, break line of sight — round a corner or use a Phone Call to drain it fast.
• Late Arrivals come from the BOTTOM. If you're stuck in the middle, the door is still your friend — they spawn behind you.
• On Large Events, follow the yellow arrow when the icon hugs the screen edge. It points to the next thing you need.
• Hardcore + a fresh save = humility.
