Six chapters, one night
Story mode
Story mode puts you in the coveralls for roughly two hours: six chapters, all played as Michael, from the escape at Smith's Grove through the night he came home. It doubles as the multiplayer tutorial — Stalk, executions, and Shape Jump are all taught here — and every chapter is scored with challenges that unlock cosmetics. Difficulty options let you replay for cleaner runs.
