Poppet

Use a combination of investigative tools and deduction skills to identify the nature of malevolent spirits possessing Poppets before the entities become too powerful to control.

[ HOW TO PLAY ]

Poppets initially appear lifeless but gradually exhibit eerie behavior as the spirit's power grows. They may subtly move when the player isn't looking, make faint noises like whispers or scream, switch off lights, or drain your power supply.

All of your electronic devices require power to operate. The crank located in the back of the room can be rotated to generate power and maintain your supply so devices stay functional. The EMF and Blacklight can be placed on the charge pad to replenish their batteries.

Use the Ghost Tracker to help identify clues and figure out the Ghost Type that occupies the Poppet. Once identified, place the Poppet into the specially equipped microwave, close the door, select the Ghost Type using the dial, then press the fry button to exorcize the spirit. A new Poppet will appear after you have guessed correctly. How many spirits can you survive to get through the night?

If you guess incorrectly, or take too long you die.

[ TIPS ]

• Place items by pointing directly at the surface and pressing E.
• You cannot interact when holding objects.
  
• If something is not working, try it again at a distance.
• Placement in the microwave is important. Be sure to center the Poppet on the marker inside before submitting your choice.
• If the Poppet is too active, place the Poppet on the marker between the metal rods and press the green button to temporarily stun the spirit. This has a cooldown between presses and should only be used in case of emergencies.
• Blacklight symbols are well hidden and are located throughout the room.
