Run the customer check

Do not decide from a familiar face. Story shifts are randomized and a known customer can return in a different state. Work through independent evidence, then follow the game prompt.

Fast rule: a missing barcode, a NET record conflict, a deceased record, a photo mismatch or contradictory answers are stronger than nervous behavior alone.

02

Open case files as needed

Weapons, traps, pets and multiplayer pages answer one task without forcing a full walkthrough.

03

Plan the final shifts

Night 13, endings and achievement pages are clearly marked for spoilers and completion runs.

Re-check after updates

Red patch-sensitive labels identify facts that may move when Bun Muen changes balance or content.

Quick answers

Frequently asked questions

Is the checker a guaranteed answer?

No. It organizes the ID, NET, photo and answer evidence you observe. The current in-game record and prompt remain the source of truth.

Is Story Mode the same every run?

No. The official listing describes all 13 Story Mode shifts as randomly generated, so customer order and encounters can vary.

Does this site contain ending spoilers?

Only pages marked with the red spoilers label reveal ending conditions. The homepage checker and beginner guide stay spoiler-light.
