FAQ

Porch light questions

What should I do when someone knocks?

Look through the front-door glass, listen to the whole request, then check the laptop cameras, including night vision when the tell needs it. Open only when the check matches a safe visitor. If the sign of an anomaly is there, turn the porch light off with the switch to the right of the door.

Is every visitor both real and an anomaly?

Most early visitors have a reported safe form and an anomalous form. The Vampire has no documented safe form, so the repeated instruction is to refuse him. The Next Door Neighbour is reported the other way: refusing her makes her smash the camera that watches the car.

How much allowance do I need?

Read the living-room board in the current night. A July 25, 2026 guide reported a $180 target, while late-July and early-August guides reported $160. The parent dialogue only says to earn the allowance before 6 AM. Do not memorize one number across updates.

Does the Goblin Stalker end the night?

No. The small pale goblin is a house jumpscare, not a door visitor. Guides say it cannot harm you or drain Sanity during a normal night. It does appear in the zero-Sanity ending montage.

Are there working codes?

No code string was found, and none of the captured developer notes through Update 11 lists a redeem box. Whether a code button exists at all is still unconfirmed.
