STEAL: find the night's relic and escape the gate at dawn. You cannot kill him.
DISTRACT: hold LEFT MOUSE while moving to spill seeds. His curse forces him to stop and count every grain, aloud.
HIDE: press E at wardrobes. Sneak with SHIFT. Darkness hides you; your flashlight gives you away.
ESCAPE: open curtains so dawn can burn him. When the clock strikes dawn, run for the gate.
WASD move · SPACE run (loud) · SHIFT sneak · E interact · F flashlight · mouse to look
