Investigation, Killers & Consequences

How the variable killer campaigns, victim outcomes and investigative actions are officially described.

A different case between playthroughs

Every playthrough selects a supernatural killer from a pool of candidates. Each candidate has a distinct campaign, reasoning, kill style and target list. This means a universal “the killer is always X” guide would be inaccurate.

Confirmed investigative actions

  • Discover secrets held by Ashenridge residents.
  • Fish, mine, forage and craft ingredients that can help solve the mystery.
  • Create occult objects that may protect potential victims.
  • Break into residents' homes, with the risk of being caught.
  • Explore day and night while time continues to pass.
  • Choose whether to stop the killer or allow chaos to continue.

Why the guide will be spoiler-layered

Character survival changes storylines, and some romance candidates can be killers or victims. Post-launch guides will therefore use three labels: spoiler-free preparation, light mechanical spoilers, and full case solution.
