Campus Exploration
The new game expands the linear structure of the first title. Players can explore distinct areas of the school grounds. These zones include the Headmaster’s Tower and the Humanities Campus.
Gameplay Mechanics
The open-world design allows for non-linear progression. Users can tackle side quests alongside main objectives. Every section of the campus introduces unique puzzles designed for cooperative solving.
This shift in level design changes how participants interact with the environment, moving away from timed room escapes toward broader investigative challenges. The inclusion of split-screen couch cooperation alongside networked multiplayer ensures that friends can tackle the institution's mysteries together regardless of their physical setup from the very first day of release.
The architecture of the new grounds houses hidden archives and restricted zones that require coordinated efforts to unlock. Within the Humanities Campus, riddles are tied to historical artifacts scattered across lecture halls, whereas the Headmaster’s Tower conceals mechanical security measures that demand synchronized inputs from multiple participants to disable.
