NIGHTSHIFTLOST SOULS

Start in a safe exploration phase with unlimited time. Visit the stage and press E at its console for a band performance. Only the room creator pressing O starts the adventure. Kitchen and cameras are temporarily available for the tour; missions begin after O.

Start outside. Walk through the front entrance, then follow the objective to the security control room. This room protects you and refills oxygen, stamina and flashlight energy.

Restore the building: find a fuse and tools, restore power and ventilation, repair cameras and the arcade, unlock the kitchen, collect a tape and start the emergency generator. After collecting the security tape, return to the control room and press V. Its four chapters reveal clues for the lost children. Item locations change between rounds. Hold E beside a marked item or repair panel. J opens the mission journal.

Save each child: collect their memento, restore their memory terminal, then hold E beside their matching animatronic. Restored memories stun the suit for 45 seconds. Find the keycard in the arcade and open the control-room case for three taser shots. G stuns a target for eight seconds.

Shift sprints and uses stamina. Running attracts enemies. H hides at marked lockers, a dining table or Pirate Cove curtains; H exits. If an animatronic sees you hide, it may find you. F wears a disguise, but they recognise it after prolonged exposure.
