UV light, camera, magnifier and evidence board

The premise names blood traces, fingerprints, recordings and personal belongings as evidence. These categories do not identify every interactable object or prove a particular suspect’s guilt. Record the visible clue before attaching an interpretation to it.

The store establishes the toolkit. Exact default keys, clue locations and required interaction order have not been verified here.

Take a photo of the entity to blind it. After it is blinded, you can run directly through it, according to Cauchemar's September 14 Update 01. The stated collision change applies after the photo has blinded the entity.

Read the first Haunting tutorial before continuing. Update 05, dated September 16, pauses the game while those instructions are visible. This gives you time to read the mechanic before trying the photo-and-escape sequence.

If the entity still blocks you, Kingy recommends checking that Steam has installed the available updates before retrying. Record the installed build and whether the photo visibly blinded the entity if the problem persists. Exact camera bindings, blinding range and duration have not been tested here.

Open Controls to inspect or rebind the detective-tool shortcuts added in Update 06. The previous update mentioned number keys as an example of the planned system; that preview is not a verified default-key map for the shipped controls.

For a wheel that stays on screen or several tools appearing in the same hand, Update 06 reports fixes. For UV light failing in the tutorial, consult Update 03. Those fixes do not establish that every dark surface hides a clue or that an unresponsive tool proves a missed puzzle step.

Update 05 pauses the first Haunting tutorial while instructions are visible. Kingy has not reproduced these fixes or tested remapping on a keyboard or Steam Deck.

Suggested format: room label, object, tool used, exact observation and unresolved question. Keep an interpretation on a separate line. The notebook on My progress stores your own observations locally; it does not confirm that a theory is correct.
