Clearer clues and smoother keyboard exploration

Haunted House Escape now updates room objectives as puzzles are solved and keeps keyboard focus through exploration and menus.

The manor now gives clearer guidance after a puzzle is solved. Each room’s objective follows your progress, helping you see where to explore next instead of repeating a completed task.

Keyboard exploration also keeps its place as the game updates. Focus is restored after room controls render again and when contained menus close, while Begin moves keyboard focus into the game.

What changed

  • Room objectives update after completed puzzles.
  • Keyboard focus survives game updates and menu transitions.
  • Begin places focus into the playable room.
