NeutralGame version: 1.1.0Achievement 54In The Dark: quick answer
To get In The Dark, use version 1.1.0 or later and reach Day 14 as the only person left in the house. Every human and Visitor must be gone by the end of Day 13, and the human deaths must not trigger Yes, I'm a Murderer.
This ending was added after launch and has a narrow population state. The challenge is making the house empty without crossing the hidden human-kill threshold that redirects the run.
Route verified: 2026-08-16. This post-launch route was reviewed against the Usual Suspects 1.1.0 ending dataset and Day 13 clear-out conditions.
Route requirements
- Play on the Usual Suspects 1.1.0 update or a later version.
- Clear every human and Visitor from the house by the end of Day 13.
- Enter Day 14 as the only person remaining inside.
- Avoid the human-kill threshold for Yes, I'm a Murderer.
Step-by-step route
- 01
Confirm the game version
In The Dark belongs to the post-launch 1.1.0 content. Older launch guides do not include it, so update the game before planning the run.
- 02
Plan non-lethal departures
Use scripted departures and FEMA extractions where the run allows them. Removing humans without shooting them reduces the risk of crossing the murderer threshold.
- 03
Track every remaining occupant
Keep a simple count of humans, confirmed Visitors, and unresolved guests. The final condition requires all three groups to be at zero except for the player.
- 04
Complete the Day 13 clear-out
Resolve the last occupants before Day 13 ends. Leaving even one human or Visitor inside changes the final population state and blocks In The Dark.
- 05
Reach Day 14 alone without the murderer trigger
If the house contains only the player and the murderer route has not taken priority, the game can resolve the In The Dark ending.
Common mistakes
- Following a launch-era endings guide that predates version 1.1.0.
- Leaving one human occupant in the house because they are not a Visitor.
- Killing too many humans during the clear-out and triggering Yes, I'm a Murderer.
- Waiting until Day 14 to remove the last occupant instead of finishing on Day 13.
How this ending differs
The End? permits human survivors and only requires zero Visitors. In The Dark requires zero humans and zero Visitors, with the player alone. Yes, I'm Alone is an Intruder-related failure state; In The Dark instead depends on reaching the updated Day 14 branch without another ending taking priority.
Ending FAQ
Which update added In The Dark?
In The Dark is part of the Usual Suspects 1.1.0 content, released after the original launch endings.
Can a human remain for In The Dark?
No. The player must be the only person left in the house when Day 14 begins.
Why did I get Yes, I'm a Murderer instead?
The clear-out crossed the game's hidden human-kill threshold. Use non-lethal departures and FEMA removals where possible so the murderer route does not take priority.
