NIGHT 1: “OKAY THIS BABY IS NOT NORMAL”

Night 1 introduces the core gameplay loop—feed the baby, change the baby, and put it to bed. Everything is straightforward on paper, but the game immediately starts introducing small disruptions that signal things are not right.

This section also contains Cat Souls 1–5.

1. Feed the Baby

Head into the kitchen through the door on your right.

Open the top cabinets. Cat Soul (1/12) is located in the right cabinet.

Open the refrigerator and take a bottle of milk. Use the bottle on the baby sitting at the table.

2. Check the Living Room

Look toward the TV on the left side of the room. Cat Soul (2/12) is standing on top of it.

The game begins introducing distractions early. Get used to checking anything that stands out.

3. Change the Baby

Pick up the baby and take it to the changing room (door on the right).

Place it on the changing mat and grab a diaper from the cabinet across the room.

Before turning back, check the white wall shelf near the changing area. Cat Soul (3/12) is located there.

Turn around.

The baby will be gone.

4. Retrieve the Baby

Exit into the hallway and pick the baby up from the floor.

Return to the changing room, place it back on the mat, and complete the diaper change.

This is the first moment where the game breaks normal expectations.

5. Put the Baby to Bed

Take the baby upstairs and go to the back bedroom.

Place it in the crib. You will receive the objective to find a storybook.

6. Collect the Next Soul

Before leaving the room, check the small cabinet to the right of the chair.

Look behind the children’s blocks. Cat Soul (4/12) is hidden there.

7. Follow the Footprints

Exit the room and enter the next area where blue footprints are visible.

Follow them to the laundry area.

On top of the washing machine is Cat Soul (5/12).

There is also a voice recorder on the nearby shelves. It can be interacted with multiple times for different recordings.

8. Read the Story

Return to the bedroom.

Pick up The Prince and the Cat from the shelf next to the chair.

Sit in the chair and begin reading.

You will be prompted to watch TV.

9. The Baby Disappears Again

Go downstairs and watch TV.

Return upstairs. The baby will no longer be in the crib.

Locate it, bring it back, and place it in the crib again.

10. Give the Baby the Plush

Find the plush cat on top of a high cabinet.

Give it to the baby in the crib.

If the baby laughs, leave the room and close the door.

11. Return to the TV

Go back downstairs and watch TV again to progress.

NIGHT 2: “IT GETS WORSE FROM HERE”

Night 2 builds on the same routine as before, but removes any sense of control you thought you had. Objects begin moving on their own, tasks become unpredictable, and the baby is no longer even pretending to cooperate.

This section includes Cat Soul 6.

1. Feed the Baby

Head into the kitchen and open the refrigerator.

The bottle will disappear.

Check the lower cabinets to the right of the oven. The bottle will be inside one of them.

Pick up the box outside and place it on the table.

11. Return to the Living Room

Sit back down on the couch in front of the TV to continue.

NIGHT 3: “NOW IT’S PERSONAL”

Night 3 fully commits to the chaos. The game begins breaking its own rules, environments shift unexpectedly, and you lose any sense of normal space. This is where the experience starts leaning into full horror.
