  1. New to the game? Start with the first-session route.
  2. Struggling when night begins? Use the five-phase response routine.
  3. Your layout feels too large or unclear? Use the compact base method.
  4. Unsure what defense function to add? Compare shell, delay, turret, gun, and co-op roles.

First-session route · 7 steps

Beginner & first-session guide

Learn the controls shown by the current game, finish a compact plan before expanding, give every approach a coverage responsibility, keep an interior fallback open, and decide a solo or co-op routine before night. The official description confirms autosave and building with friends, but it does not publish their detailed rules.

Night routine · 5 phases

Night survival routine

To survive VERITY at night, treat the round as a preparation and response problem: finish a compact plan, keep approaches visible, move the assigned response to pressure, preserve an interior fallback, and revise the first function that failed. VERITY appearing at night is official; exact timing, pathing, HP, damage, and guaranteed counters are not available.

Base plan · 6 decisions

Compact base-building method

There is no supportable unbeatable blueprint. Start with the smallest footprint you can finish, identify every intentional entrance, assign coverage to each approach, keep outside delay separate from the shell, preserve an interior fallback route, and expand only after the current plan has a job for every new edge.

Defense method · 5 roles

Turret, gun & defense roles

Choose the defense job before choosing a model: the shell encloses, outside objects can serve a delay function, turrets provide automated coverage, player guns provide active response, and co-op defenders coordinate the plan. These pairings organize responsibilities; they are not power ranks or synergy multipliers.

Confirmed systems, bounded planning advice

The official experience description names free-form building, turrets, guns, friend building, autosave, and VERITY at night. The guides organize those systems into practical responsibilities without claiming wall HP, damage, range, pathing, exact timing, or a guaranteed base.
