❤ Navigating the Cursed Arcade

You must thoroughly explore the sprawling, maze-like abandoned arcade, scouring every nook and cranny to uncover secrets and advance the narrative. The environment itself is an integral part of the gameplay, as certain areas and objects can be manipulated through interactions with the cursed "JANITOR" arcade cabinet.

❤ Unlocking the JANITOR's Power

Finding and collecting the scattered coins empowers you to "play" the retro-inspired JANITOR minigame. Completing simple objectives like clearing obstacles or defeating enemies in this 8-bit style game triggers real-world effects, unlocking new paths or changing the layout of the physical arcade space. Mastering this two-way interaction between the virtual and physical realms is crucial to progressing through the adventure.

❤ Evading the Lurking Threat

At various points, you must evade a hostile entity known as "the Janitor" through tense stealth sequences. Carefully navigating the dark, cramped spaces, you must find suitable hiding spots like vents or under furniture, timing your movements to avoid detection. Observing and learning the Janitor's behavior patterns is essential to successfully escaping the threat.

❤ Rewarding Exploration

As you progress, the abandoned arcade gradually opens up, revealing new areas and secrets to uncover. This encourages thorough backtracking and re-exploration, as previously inaccessible paths and items become available due to your interactions with the JANITOR game. Paying close attention to detail and leaving no stone unturned is key to piecing together the game's mystery.
