Chapter 1

This page will explain what happens, how to beat the game, and the obtainable achievements in Chapter 1.

## Endings

**Kill your dad.**
In order to achieve this ending, all one has to do is kill James when he comes home at 12am. While this may sound like a simple task, it is anything but simple, as when James is first attacked, he will continue to try to kill Tabby even after he has been sliced in half. When he is attacked again, he will continue to try to kill her as just a head, bouncing and vomiting blood to melt her into a skeleton with his acidic fluids. In order to kill him, Tabby must attack him three times, with whatever weapon.
After James dies, Tabby will fall to her knees in exhaustion, relieved that she finally killed her dad. When the game is entered again, Tabby will get a new journal entry named "Father".

**Kill your family.**
In order to achieve this ending, Tabby must kill everyone in her family. This includes Lisa, Melody, the Cat, Dolly, and the Rat. It should be noted that after killing Melody, Lisa, or the Cat, they will appear in rooms in an undead form (see Possessed Melody, Demon Mom, and Demon Cat respectively).
In order to see progress of how many family members are dead, one must talk to the Akaname. This can be done by flushing the toilet after 5pm, which will make her emerge and inform Tabby of her progress. Keep in mind that Tabby must explicitly kill (as opposed to them dying in other ways) at least one member of her family before attempting to speak to Akaname, otherwise she, will be hostile and attack her instead. She will also become hostile if attacked at any point.

**Subdue your dad.**
In order to achieve this ending, Tabby must save Melody. Melody does not want to live, however, and the house does not want her to either. She will try to perform several tasks that end with her being killed, including even trying to commit suicide. Tabby must break several items in order to save Melody. When Melody is saved, she will lie in her bed, to which she must be given Dolly.

**Save your family.**
In order to achieve this ending, Tabby must save the entire family. This includes the Cat, Melody, Lisa, and the Rat. In order to do this, Tabby must save Melody as in the previous ending, except she must not give her Dolly. Tabby must also prevent Lisa from slipping by placing the bucket below the leak in the kitchen, prevent the Cat from being burnt alive by pouring water on the fire in the music room and subdue the Rat by giving it a sandwich. At 9pm, the fridge will open, and a bloody hand will reach out to grab Lisa, who is passed out from drinking. Tabby must attack the hand with the axe, causing it to retreat, before the Lankler emerges. If the Lankler catches Tabby, it will eat her, similar to how the Akaname behaves, only the Lankler is much slower.

**Break free.**
This is the true ending of Chapter 1, and completing this ending will allow Chapter 2 to be played. In order to even start the ending, all other endings must be achieved. As each ending is achieved, the clock in the hallway becomes cracked with blood, forming a kind of four-pointed star. When all four endings are achieved, the clock can be destroyed with the axe, causing the game to enter the state of Frozen Time.
Tabby must destroy the house's different body parts. She must destroy the Eyes by shooting them with the slingshot, destroy the Fingers by chopping one of them off with an axe, and destroy the Mouth by dropping the bowling ball on its teeth. After destroying all three, the Heart can then be destroyed using the shotgun. During all of this, Husks will spawn around the house.
Once the Heart is destroyed, Tabby will fall into a pit and end up in a large void underneath the house. The bodies of Lisa, the Rat and the Cat can be found in this void. Eventually, Tabby will find the Puppetmaster. Once he has been found, a cutscene will trigger, in which he will ask Tabby to approach him. However, once Tabby approaches him, he will grab her and insist she doesn't leave. Tabby will then rip her arm off in order to escape, and destroy the Puppetmaster with her axe.
**Make a new friend.**
This ending can only be attempted after the True Ending, and completing it is not required at all. To perform it, Tabby must kill 8 frogs before midnight. Only one frog will be in the house at one time, and they will spawn in random rooms, excluding the parents' room. They can be killed either with the axe or the bowling ball.
If this is done successfully, instead of James appearing at the door at midnight, the Frog Lord will appear. The Frog Lord is a much tougher boss than James; it takes six hits to defeat it, and it can only be damaged with the axe, although other items can stun it momentarily.
Once the Frog Lord is defeated, Tabby will meet Froggy, and gain the "Nightmares" entry in her journal.
