What does each Prologue challenge require?
Use this compact checklist before leaving Smith’s Grove. It paraphrases the tasks rather than reproducing the game’s full wording.
| Challenge | What to do | Plan around |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Frighten an orderly into fleeing | Let the escape action resolve |
| 2 | Perform three executions on orderlies | Use bare-handed executions for a conservative attempt |
| 3 | Use the telephone-pole execution | Look beside the power equipment |
| 4 | Use the railing execution | Check the nearby environmental prompt |
| 5 | Escape without alerting anyone | Reserve a separate stealth run |
| 6 | Deal with every orderly | Recheck the starting area before leaving |
The task types are cross-checked against Into Indie Games’ challenge list. That guide and the route below differ on which executions satisfy Challenge 2; bare hands avoid that ambiguity.
Where is the missing orderly for Challenge 6?
The Whisper of the House Prologue route reports 12 orderlies. After checking the main area, return toward the beginning: the easily missed final orderly is near the gate. If you approach a face of the gate that cannot be climbed, follow the slope around to the accessible opening.
Keep a simple tally of confirmed outcomes as you move. If your tally and the challenge display disagree, inspect the remaining patrol area before assuming the last action failed. A count is a navigation aid, not proof that the game accepted every action.
How should I separate combat from the no-alert run?
For the combat attempt, the same route recommends grabbing and releasing an orderly for the fear task, then checking the execution prompts near the power equipment. Do those deliberate interactions before sweeping the remaining patrols.
For the stealth attempt, follow the escape objectives without deliberately provoking the orderlies. The reported path switches off the power before prying the exit gate. Watch the patrol before leaving cover; after a clear alert, consider that attempt compromised rather than assuming darkness erased it. Review Stalk and Shape Jump before retrying.
What if the challenge checks off but the reward is missing?
The community route advises finishing the chapter after the checkmark appears. Make a note of the challenge number and verify it again after returning to chapter selection; do not quit immediately after the action if you are trying to preserve that run.
Early Access Hotfix 1 includes tracking fixes, but it does not name a guaranteed Prologue fix. Our patch summary separates confirmed changes from unresolved reports.
