Opah is the house owner hunting you while you search. The intro card says get out before Opah finds you. Survival is finishing the key-and-code loop before the heart counter hits zero. It is not a fight.
What a catch costs
On the reviewed HARD round the HUD showed two hearts. The counter fell from two to one between chase frames, which lines up with one heart lost when Opah catches you. The second catch ends your round.
Then:
- The game tells you that you are out of lives.
- REVIVE? counts down for 8 seconds.
- Paying 19 Robux brings you back with 1 life in the safe zone.
- Pressing NO, or letting the timer finish, switches you to SPECTATING. You watch the rest of the round.
The revive price is Robux, not Duit. The dialog also prints VIP: +1 LIFE EVERY ROUND. The VIP pass listing says that extra life applies in EASY and SUSAH. Buy it only if you want that listed perk. The note on the death screen is an advertisement of the pass, not a separate free life.
What you can press
SPRINT is on the right side of the in-house HUD. It is the movement button you have during a chase. No reviewed chase showed it breaking Opah's pursuit, so do not plan on outrunning her with it.
SHOVE OTHERS sits beside SPRINT and was shown with a lock icon. The unlock rule was not explained, and no mid-chase shove was shown. Leave it out of the escape plan.
JUMPSCARE is the green top-right button. It costs 35 Duit per press and was followed by a DUITMINE -35 mark. It was never shown stopping Opah. Do not spend Duit on it as a rescue.
A wardrobe hide with a LEAVE prompt is reported and not proven. If you are already next to a wardrobe when Opah closes in, trying it costs nothing. Do not route the whole house around wardrobes until you have seen one work.
Make the hunt shorter
The dependable move is a shorter search. Peek the door, write the colors that are still locked, open drawers for those colors, and take the number to the keypad. Every extra lap is another chance for Opah to find you.
If the bus-stop vote is on screen and you are still learning the rooms, pick the slower option. Reports call that vote EASY. The same reports call NIGHTMARE a faster Opah with the lights out. Those speeds were not frame-checked. One later writeup said a Nightmare mode was not verified at all. Vote only for a label you can read in your own lobby.
After the first catch you have one heart left. Spend it on the remaining padlocks, not on a second full sweep of rooms you already opened.
