VERY SCARY HOUSE

Very Scary House is a two-player cooperative horror game.
One player explores a haunted house while the other, isolated in a nearby cabin, provides remote guidance.
Together, they must solve four puzzles, find four key items, and escape before time runs out — all while surviving an unrelenting demon.

BEFORE YOU PLAY - We are having issue with the P2 system: 

- To play together, people need to be on the same network. If two players start the game, (one host & other one clicks on join) they will automatically be put in the same instance of the game.

- For people who aren't using the same network, our solution atm is to use the PDF of solution that you can download here (updated).

DISCLAMER: Voice Chat Required
Communication between both players is essential.
For this prototype, please use Discord (or any voice app) to talk with your partner during gameplay.

PLAYER 2 - THE TECH GUY

From the safety of the cabin, monitor the house through security cameras and guide Player 1.
