01 / THE GUIDE
Map Comparison
Create a side‑by‑side sketch of the original house layout versus the expanded version. Highlight new rooms and crawlspaces; this visual aid helps you locate hidden secrets that were not present in Chapter 1.
- Compare the layout of newly added rooms with the original map to spot subtle changes.
- Take note of any abandoned gear; it may indicate where previous explorers encountered difficulty.

Doll Pattern Log
Spend a few minutes watching each doll’s movement before interacting. Record their patterns in a notebook; recognizing these behaviors can reduce surprise encounters and inform safer navigation.
- Observe each doll’s movement pattern before approaching to gauge its behavior.
- Notice how the dolls’ presence feels heavier; use this as a cue to increase caution.

Audio Cue Tracking
Play with headphones and note the direction of creaks or whispers. Correlate these sounds with doll locations to develop an auditory map that complements visual exploration.
