The safe week uses the same chore loop every day. Strange events are extra. Nothing published assigns those events to a fixed day number, so do not wait for Day 4 or Day 6 before you start checking the house.
Do these chores in order
- Take cat food out of the cupboard and put it in Whiskers' bowl.
- Open the laundry-room door if it is shut. Once the litter box has been used, clean it with the small minigame.
- Pick up the laser pointer in the living room. Play until the blue bar fills. Aiming the dot too far away restarts that bar. A tight circle is a different, bad outcome: see Blackhole.
- Open the front door, go outside, and take the mail from the mailbox.
- Come back in. Close the front door and lock it. Those are two checks, not one.
- Open the refrigerator, take out the microwave dinner, and close the fridge.
- Warm the dinner in the microwave and eat it.
- Clear any strange event that is active. Use the anomaly responses.
- Sleep only after the list above is done.
Close the door, then lock it
Sleeping with the front door open is Cya Later: Whiskers tries to leave. Sleeping without locking the front door is Intruder Alert: someone gets in. One written checklist line is garbled ("look the door"). The two ending triggers are the clear version of that step.
Dinner uses the microwave
The meal steps are fridge, microwave dinner, close the fridge, microwave, eat. Starved is sleeping without eating. Cold as Ice is sleeping with the fridge left open. Fired is a separate check: sleeping with the stove left on, even though the meal itself is not written as a stove recipe.
A missing mailbox is not a missed mail chore
If the mailbox is simply there, skipping it and sleeping leads to Evicted. If the mailbox is gone and the outside is darkness, that is The Void. Close all the blinds. Do not treat the darkness as a normal mail run, and do not sleep while it is still outside.
Bedtime pass
Before you sleep, confirm the bowl was filled, the litter minigame was finished, the blue laser bar filled without a tight spin, the mail was collected, the front door is shut and locked, the fridge is shut, the stove is off, dinner was eaten, the TV is not being left on, and no anomaly sign is still active. Then use the bed.
The reported good route is the full seven days of this loop plus every threat handled. Details are on the good ending page. Named failure routes are collected under all endings.
