Sanity is a wonderful thing. So is light.

In this game, light is your friend. Glowsticks and candles both light up a small portion around you, or you can turn on the light in the room. Staying in the light will keep your sanity from dropping. Using only a flashlight in the dark means you are in the dark - and when you're in the dark, your sanity will drain.

Using objects such as Ouija Boards as well as witnessing Ghost Events will also drain your sanity frighteningly quickly in some cases. Be aware when using cursed possessions*.

If your sanity is low, the ghost is more likely to hunt. That's pretty much it. To avoid hunt after hunt after hunt, keep that sanity high. Otherwise, you'll have to hide every two minutes practically.

The only way to regain lost sanity is by consuming these lovely orange bottles of Sanity Pills. You can only bring a maximum of four, and if you have a full team that means one for each person. Use them wisely. Also, don't be a jerk and eat all the pills your team has. It makes their life so much harder and they will probably kick you out of the next game.

*Cursed Possessions are a fairly new (at the time of writing this) update that basically spawn in one of a few items that can assist or straight up kill you. I may add a chapter about these in the future.
