Do not read the whole wiki in a fixed sequence. Choose the page that solves the decision in front of you: start a match, fix a disguise, scan a room, choose a map, test Workshop, confirm a platform, or diagnose a failed lobby.
Each row has a stop condition so you know when to leave that guide.
| Your problem | Read first | Stop when... | Then open |
|---|---|---|---|
| I do not understand the first round. | Beginner Guide | You can explain the lobby, Hider goal, Seeker goal, and one first action. | Controls |
| I do not know the current inputs. | Controls Guide | The live keyboard or controller mapping works for your role. | Hider or Seeker |
| My color looks wrong. | Paint System | Local color, shadow, texture, and visible white edges are acceptable. | Pose |
| My shape still looks human. | Pose Guide | Height, direction, footprint, and two viewing angles match the object. | Hider workflow |
| I keep getting found. | Hider Guide | You can name the object, pass the angle audit, and stop editing. | Map guide |
| I cannot find Hiders. | Seeker Guide | You can clear one room by zones and explain every shot. | Map guide |
| I need a stage or hiding role. | Maps Hub | You chose a surface or prop role and know the likely counter. | Dedicated map page |
| I want custom maps. | Workshop Guide | A private official-map baseline and one subscribed map test are complete. | Fix Hub if it fails |
| I cannot join or see a room. | Can't Connect | Version, Steam restart, EOS status, official-map test, and Workshop isolation are checked. | Troubleshooting |
| I want to buy or use Steam Deck. | Steam & Platforms | You confirmed the current store price, Windows listing, Deck rating, and control limitations. | Controls |
Use Paint System for local color, shadow, texture, glow paint, and edges. Use Pose Guide for height, direction, footprint, and viewing angles. Use Hider Guide to combine them with a stop rule, then choose a map whose props make that object identity believable.
Use Seeker Guide to replace random camera movement with a repeatable scan. Dedicated map guides explain which objects Hiders try to become and how to compare symmetry, height lines, shadows, repeated props, and landmark outlines.
Use the Update History when an old video disagrees with the game.
Controller, FOV, maps, paint, body types, online services, and safety changes.
InputsKeyboard observations, non-UI controller support, menu limits, and current verification.
PaintGlow paint, palette eyedropper changes, 3D sampling, controller painting, and surface matching.
MODPrivate tests, official-map baseline, MOD-map security, and safe subscription flow.
OnlineVersion, EOS maintenance, cloud sign-in, official-map isolation, and friend rooms.
BuyCurrent price, Windows listing, Steam Deck rating, features, and system requirements.
Open the Beginner Guide, verify current controls, and choose one role route. Playing one round will tell you which deeper page is actually needed.
Pick the final object or surface, apply the main local color, choose the pose, then repair paint edges after the silhouette changes. They are one sequence, not two independent topics.
Paint System for color, light, texture, or edges; Pose Guide for height, direction, depth, or placement; Hider Guide for the complete workflow and stop rule.
Use Can't Connect for version, Steam, EOS, cloud, and lobby checks. Use Workshop when the official-map baseline works but the subscribed map fails.
No. Official sources support patch and platform facts; the site labels visible gameplay and community reports and explains its method on the About page.
This page routes decisions; it does not repeat every control, paint step, pose table, map route, platform fact, or troubleshooting checklist. Each focused page owns one complete task, and the hub tells you when to enter and leave it.
