Chapter 18 questions
The job interview and Us Among controls
- The tray drops items. Should I restart the interview?
- The recorded dropped-item animation is automatic. Hold on until the timer ends and wait for the success line. It is a different activity from the French questions, whose visible answer sequence is listed below.
- Who is the target in Us Among?
- Use the on-screen directions to approach the green Harpers target, press the red kill icon when close enough, then move away. The success signal is a return to the group discussion. Cain is not the target in this recorded sequence.
Before you choose
Critical Choices
Florian night scene, not Abel's confession
The satin dress screenshot shows Florian 62%. Turning on the lights reaches Florian's visit on this account; it is not a character-selection button. The pink Bye Kitty set and The truth → CONFESS sequence belong to the separate Abel replay. No pajama threshold or alternate Main transition was tested.
The illustration prompt actually says Abel
After the observed Florian scene and credits, the screen reads Unlock Abel's illustration for this episode? and offers Unlock for 150. This is a recorded label mismatch, not proof of a route switch or of the paid image's character. Don't unlock (Keep Playing) was selected; the paid content remains unverified.
The mixed name tags are automatic
Helen and the protagonist switch the incorrect tags during dialogue. There is no player decision that raises a French level or unlocks a hidden answer.
Route endings must stay separate
Cain's night visit and Abel's Yuta confession belong to different main-route accounts. Do not combine them into one recommended sequence.
The illustration is optional
Don't unlock (Keep Playing) completes the chapter and unlocks Chapter 19 without spending 150 blood currency.
Blocking interactions
Minigame Help
Florian replay: Us Among report
Return from the completed green-target interaction to the story.
Exact sequence
- 01Move using the visible direction controls.
- 02Approach green Harpers and press the red kill control when it is available.
- 03The recorded run then used the report control and displayed DEAD BODY REPORTED.
Success signal
The group discussion resumes.
If it fails
If the map remains after the kill, check the visible report control. Do not keep killing additional characters to force progression.
Known boundary
Reporting was used in this run; this does not prove it is required on every route. Earlier Cain/Abel recordings have their own completion instructions.
French oral test
Choose the six recorded answers across both rounds.
Exact sequence
- 01Je vais prendre un café, s'il vous plaît.
- 02Non rien de rien, non je ne regrette rien.
- 03Par carte, s'il vous plaît.
- 04Toutes les baguettes.
- 05Merci, bonne journée! Au revoir.
- 06Tour de France, eeeh, Emmanuel Macron? Oui.
Success signal
Helen covers for the protagonist, both applicants pass, and they agree to work different shifts.
If it fails
The locked-looking alternatives are part of the joke. Use the visible sequence above; there is no separate French-level upgrade.
Us Among
Complete one normal movement and kill sequence, then return to the group discussion.
Exact sequence
- 01Use the on-screen direction controls to explore.
- 02Approach the green Harpers target.
- 03Press the red kill icon when close enough.
- 04Move away with the direction controls.
Success signal
The game returns to dialogue and Maya asks who everyone thinks the killer was.
If it fails
One old browser tab failed to finish its animation. Reload the signed-in session and retry with the visible controls; do not force a completion state.

Story Guide
Work route
01Interview and French Test
The protagonist and Helen enter the same group interview after the staff accidentally swap their name tags. The switch is automatic dialogue, not a player choice. Helen's experience and the six recorded French answers let both applicants pass, after which they agree to work different shifts.
The tray test only asks the player to hold on until the timer ends. A few dropped items are part of the animation and do not require restarting.
New home
02The Locked Drawer
Florian notices the protagonist's locked drawer and decides not to open it. Cain and Abel immediately do the opposite, using hairpins to force it open and finding photographs and gifts connected to the protagonist's former partner.
The scene establishes the privacy breach before the group moves into Us Among and the unresolved José case.
Route split
03Us Among, Yuta, and the Night Visit
After the minigame, Maya asks who everyone believes the killer was. Abel explains that José was washing his hands when Abel entered the bathroom and was already down when Abel left the stall. Harper remains suspicious, although the two later agree to move forward.
On the Abel route, Abel enters the protagonist's room at night and reveals that Yuta, a prison guard, ordered his family's murder. The protagonist can CONFESS that she stabbed Florian. This is separate from the historical Cain night scene, where Cain hears footsteps near the protagonist's room and stays with her.
Chapter Tips
- Do not search for a hidden French-level upgrade; use the six visible answers.
- Approach the green Harpers target in Us Among, not Cain.
- If the minigame animation stalls, reload the signed-in session and retry with visible controls.
