Guides
Beginner Rehaunted guides: how the investigation loop works, which settings matter and the habits that stop you missing evidence.
Introduction
Rehaunted gives you a house, five detective tools and no hand-holding. Nothing in the opening hour tells you which surfaces are worth sweeping with the UV flashlight, how many findings you are expected to log, or when the story will quietly close an area behind you. These guides exist to fix that. They cover the investigation loop from the first room to the final reconstruction, the settings that actually change how readable the house is, and the small habits that separate a complete case file from a thin one. If you have not started yet, read the beginner material first and treat the walkthrough as your second pass.
Guide Types at a Glance

| Getting Started | The investigation loop, tool switching, settings and controls | Your first hour inside the house |
| Evidence Sweeps | A repeatable room-clearing habit that avoids leaving findings behind | Players who want every conclusion available |
| Story & Endings | How radio choices and logged evidence steer the final reconstruction | Second runs and completion planning |
Guide Highlights
The First Hour
Set the habits that decide whether your case file ends up complete.
Sweep Order
Clear one area completely before the story moves you along.
Tools & Radio
Two systems that carry most of the information in the game.
Core Mechanics
The core loop is consistent from the first room to the last: enter an area, sweep it with the appropriate tool, examine anything that reacts, and log what matters to the evidence board before you move on. Tool choice is not cosmetic. The UV flashlight only reads residue at close range, the magnifier only helps on details small enough to blur, and the camera is what turns a fleeting observation into something you can compare later. Radio check-ins interrupt the loop on purpose: they open dialogue branches that change how the case is framed, and they are easy to rush past when you are focused on a room. Treat every check-in as content, not as noise.
Advantages
Rehaunted is short enough that a guide genuinely changes the outcome. Two to three hours means one thorough run is realistic, and the difference between that run and a careless one is not skill but order of operations: which rooms you clear completely, which findings you log before the story advances, and whether you answer the radio when it calls. The game also rewards reading over reflexes. There is no combat to practise and no timing window to master, so the improvement curve comes from understanding the tools and from noticing when two pieces of evidence refuse to agree with each other. Players who like detective fiction rather than action will find the learning curve unusually gentle.
Challenges
The same design that makes the case interesting also makes it easy to ruin. Because the story advances on triggers rather than on a checklist, you can walk out of a room having seen everything except the one item that mattered, and the game will not warn you. The evidence board compounds the problem: it does not grade your work, so an incomplete case file only becomes obvious at the finale when certain conclusions are no longer available. The radio dialogue is a second trap. Check-ins feel optional when you are deep in a search, but skipping them narrows how the case can be framed and can quietly remove a route you intended to take. The counter is discipline, not difficulty settings.

Quick Tips
Set controls, subtitles and brightness before you start searching. Nearly every clue in Rehaunted is small or low-contrast, and the UV flashlight only reads at close range, so a dark display or a rushed control setup will hide evidence rather than make the game more tense in a meaningful way.
Clear one room completely before following the story onward. The game advances on triggers, not on a checklist, so leaving a half-searched area can permanently remove findings from your run and quietly remove the conclusions they would have supported at the final reconstruction. One unfinished shelf can change which endings are reachable.
Answer the radio every time it calls. Those exchanges with the second detective open dialogue branches that change how the case is framed, and skipping one to keep searching a room is a poor trade: the room will still be there, but the branch you missed may not come back.
