The Basics of Lost Rooms

Lost Rooms puts you in one of its various maps, along with various creatures lurking in every corner. Depending on the difficulty level selected, you can explore the zone carefully or scramble to find something in your vicinity to defend yourself with. Find the creatures and exterminate them to the best of your abilities.

While you scour the maps, keep your eyes peeled and ears pricked. The creatures can be quite fast and take you by surprise, ending the game within seconds. Keep the volume relatively high for this game, as the ambient sounds can help you navigate the maps and find the monsters.

Also, team up with friends to make the task easier. Communicate with one another to clear rooms and move on to the next. Once night falls, cover each others’ backs and defend yourselves from the creatures’ onslaught.

• Normal: Normal mode features the standard Lost Rooms experience, where you must find and kill the creature. If you die, the game does not end and you get to try again. The day-night cycle is also functional in this mode. You also have the option to select one of four difficulty modes: Easy, Normal, Hard, and Nightmare.
• Endless: Endless mode pits you against an immortal creature with the primary objective being survival. Death results in an instant game over.
• PvP: This mode transforms the game into an asymmetric survival horror experience, where one player becomes the monster while others must try to take them down. Death results in a game over for the downed player.
• Sandbox: The Sandbox mode allows you to experiment with the game’s systems without any stakes, giving you the freedom to do what you like without worrying about dying or killing a monster.

• Hunger and Thirst: Hunger and Thirst are two of the survival mechanics you must keep track of at all times. Find every consumable in the area to keep both gauges topped off and remain in prime shape for the battle ahead. Ignoring these will lead to a swift death.
• Inventory Space: Your backpack can only store a limited number of items. Pick the items you need and discard those you don’t. Don't carry unnecessary items, as they can cause trouble if you need to pick something up in a pinch.
• Zones: The game features two types of zones: prebuilt and randomly generated. The prebuilt experience is tailor-made to be enjoyable, while the randomly generated one can either be hair-raising or completely uneventful. The former is the default experience and the one that we recommend.
• Monsters: There are four types of monsters to find and eliminate in this experience. Each has a set of abilities that make it a formidable opponent capable of shredding through your health pool. Enemies like the Jester are relentlessly aggressive, while others like ECC:21 only chase after the player until they lose sight of them.
• Equipment: Equip armor, armament, tools, and other items that can help you battle against the creature. Through the crafting menu, create traps that slow the enemy down or deal hefty damage to them.
