Plan your next I Expect You To Die session
Our independent guide breaks down the core systems of I Expect You To Die, offering focused exercises that let you explore each mechanic in depth. Use these activities to refine your telekinesis handling, manage mission pacing, and fine‑tune audio‑visual settings for optimal puzzle solving.
01 / THE GUIDE
Telekinesis Range Test
In a single mission, move objects at varying distances using the tracked controllers. Note how accuracy changes with reach and adjust hand motion speed for smoother manipulation.
- Observe the layout before moving objects; telekinesis works best when you have a clear mental map of the room.
- Use the ability to reach items that are otherwise out of physical reach, reducing the need for repositioning.
02 / THE GUIDE
Mission Timing Observation
Complete a mission without timed input, recording how long each puzzle takes. Identify steps that benefit from deliberate pauses versus quicker actions.
- Treat each puzzle as a separate problem; focus on one interaction at a time to avoid confusion.
- Remember that you can pause without pressure, as the game does not require timed input.
03 / THE GUIDE
Audio Cue Calibration
Lower the volume, then raise it incrementally while solving a puzzle. Observe which cues become audible and set the volume to a level that highlights essential sounds.
- Calibrate your tracked controllers before starting to ensure accurate object manipulation.
- Take advantage of the untimed mode to experiment with different solutions without pressure.
04 / THE GUIDE
Color Scheme Comparison
Switch between available color alternatives and note any differences in object visibility or eye strain. Choose the scheme that offers the clearest contrast for your play style.
- Check the achievement list to monitor progress across the seven missions.
- Enable family sharing if another household member wants to try the game without purchasing a second copy.
05 / THE GUIDE
Achievement Mapping
Match each Steam achievement to a specific mission milestone. Use this map to set short goals, ensuring steady progress and a sense of accomplishment.
- Start with a moderate volume and increase as needed to catch faint cues.
- Experiment with color alternatives to find a scheme that reduces visual strain.
