The game starts with a cutscene that shows how a possessed teacher has made all the school fall asleep, but you were accidentally not affected by it. You aim to solve puzzles, fix the clocks, and turn the school back to normal while staying away from that teacher. You have two weapon slots, one has a pistol with a flashlight, while the other slot remains empty to pick up and use the items required to solve puzzles.

This map features a highly detailed environment with completely custom textures and models. There are multiple floors, each having many rooms to explore. Various students in Chapter 2 default skin can be seen in the classrooms, but they do not respond to anything.
