Guaranteed Humans
Always safe to admit. Many show false positives, so rely on narrative clues before pulling the trigger.
| Name | Clues | Connections | Appearance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Your Neighbor | Introduces the tutorial and leaves immediately. | No achievements tied; narrative setup only. | Day 1 morning tutorial visit only. |
| Neighbor's Daughter | Red, tearful eyes (false symptom) while searching for her father. | Unlocks the "I'm Sorry Little One" achievement if protected. | Returns on Night 4 after the initial plea for shelter. |
| Tall Man | Usually the first knock; calm, consistent testimony. | Key ally for passing the Intruder's Night 4 test. | Typically appears on Night 1. |
| Burned Firefighter | Severe burns and red eyes (false symptoms) from duty. | Provides the FEMA Notice and unlocks "One Way Ticket". | Guaranteed on Night 7. |
| The Widow | Carries her husband's body; crying causes red eyes (false symptom). | None, but denying her can block other human interactions. | Skips appearances if the Shirtless Man is present. |
| Cultists (trio) | Uniform robes, cryptic speech; all confirmed human. | Essential for the cult ending—shelter every member. | Arrive together on Night 8. |
| Man with Mouth Sewn Shut | Cannot speak; intimidating appearance only. | None, but barring him can impact random visit order. | Refuses entry if the Surgeon is inside. |
| Guy in FEMA Coat | Red eyes and fungal armpit (false symptoms) from field work. | None—safe to shelter despite alarming symptoms. | Avoids the house if the Widow or Shirtless Man is staying. |
Guaranteed Visitors
These entities never spawn human. Some are harmless, others lethal, but all can jeopardise endings if mishandled.
| Name | Clues | Connections | Appearance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Intruder / Pale Man | Shirtless, gaunt, hostile; repeats infiltration attempts. | Central to multiple endings and achievements including "Yes, I'm Alone". | Mandatory on Nights 4, 5, 9, and 11. |
| Cashier Lady | Confused, gentle demeanour; unaware of Visitor status. | Protecting her is required for "In the Safety of Your Own Home". | Appears on the first night. |
| Cat Lady | Carries a cat, unstable behaviour. | Only way to unlock the basement, enabling "Shroom or Doom" and "Embrace The Inevitable". | Guaranteed on Night 4. |
| Cold Person | Complains about temperature, reveals a stomach void that kills roommates. | Steps toward the "Event Horizon" achievement. | Random later-night knock without extra conditions. |
| Hunched Lady | Admits to being a Visitor after extended conversation. | Required for "In the Safety of Your Own Home" if spared. | Random evening visitor. |
| Amogus Guy | Parody shirt; behaviour varies between versions but treated as Visitor in v1.0. | Kill him once as human and once as Visitor to unlock "Frenemy". | Random appearance with no prerequisites. |
Randomised Identities
These wild cards change per run. Confirm their stories, track false positives, and prepare to adapt.
| Name | Visitor Tells | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Twin Sisters | Assess individually—one may be human while the other exhibits symptoms like red eyes. | Community split: data suggests each spawn randomised. Do not assume matching identities. |
| Wheelchair User | Visitor variant has an abnormal finger count. | Completely random identity; double-check hands before letting them rest. |
| Beer-Loving Man | Friendly yet inconsistent account; requires full inspection. | Often misjudged due to casual demeanour—verify every symptom. |
| Fortune Teller | Visitor form shows red eyes, yet she can still be human with other abnormal traits. | Links to cult ending hints. Balance occult clues with physical evidence. |
| Grave Digger | Dirty fingernails from work (false symptom). | Confirm with questions about burial shifts before resorting to violence. |
| Man in the Suit | Visitor version shows armpit fungus. | Refuses entry if the Nun or Cat Lady is already sheltered. |
| Woman with Glasses | Red eyes, hairless armpits, burned hands—yet frequently human. | Requires multiple data points; one of the easiest humans to misjudge. |
| Surgeon | X-ray always shows a heart spot (false); Visitor version adds a hand rash. | Will not enter if the Man with Mouth Sewn Shut is inside. |
Shelter Management Approaches
Conservative Screening
Admit only visitors you can clear beyond doubt. Focus on guaranteed humans and high-value allies.
Advantages
- Minimal risk of lethal Visitors
- Simplifies nightly management
Disadvantages
- High chance of failing the Night 4 Intruder check
- Lose access to secret questlines
Balanced Judgement
Combine physical tells with story consistency and visitor history logs.
Advantages
- Best chance to reach Day 14 alive
- Unlocks multiple endings in fewer runs
Disadvantages
- Requires energy management and note-taking
- Still vulnerable to RNG false positives
Aggressive Purge
Execute anyone suspicious to avoid internal kills, accepting moral penalties.
Advantages
- Guarantees Visitor-free shelter
- Fast path to "Yes, I'm a Murderer"
Disadvantages
- Locks out peaceful endings
- Triggers Egghead judgement and vigilante suspicion
Critical Reminders
Night 4 Gate:Never face the Intruder alone. Ensure at least one confirmed ally—or even a harmless Visitor—is indoors before answering.
Self-Check Daily:Inspect yourself in the bathroom mirror before Vigilante visits. Remove fungal growths or perfect teeth to avoid instant execution.
Context is Evidence:Many humans display false symptoms—burns, tears, exhaustion. Cross-check alibis, schedules, and TV intel before pulling the trigger.
