Daytime involves searching for clues such as diaries and personal effects, while nighttime brings full-scale verification as phenomena intensify. Using a personal effect in a specific room can intentionally invoke a powerful event, but doing so raises the mental contamination level, increasing screen noise and heartbeat sounds. If the player is consumed by madness, they lose consciousness before morning and the game ends.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRecorded events and items are compiled into verification reports, and gathering certain evidence unlocks new rooms and reveals the manor\u0026#39;s past.
