One More Night States of Mind
Pick the mind that matches your lobby — Calm for learning, Guilty for baseline, unlockables after each ending clear.
Unlock gate
States of Mind are the selectable run modes at the elevator. Think of them as character kits: lives, power percent, walk/run/stamina, coin multipliers, aggression, and threat-choice counts all shift with the mind you pick.
You unlock the State of Mind menu after clearing Trapped in the Nightmare (TitN). Until then, play the default flow and focus on Getting Started plus Office Power.
Default minds (always available after TitN)
Calm
- Feel: Lower aggression (−15%), threats gain AI slower, +1 threat choice, but you start with two extra starting threats and −1 shop choice.
- Stats pattern: 4 lives, standard 100% power, standard movement.
- Use when: Teaching a friend, stabilizing after a patch, or practicing new penalties.
- Avoid when: You need dense shop options for a Night 20 push.
Guilty
- Feel: The baseline experience — no free pros, no free cons.
- Stats pattern: 3 lives, 100% power, standard movement and coins.
- Use when: Measuring true skill, recording guides, or comparing threat tiers fairly on the Threat Tier List.
Devastated
- Feel: More resources, more pain — +10% power, slightly better run/walk/stamina, 1.1× coins, +1 shop choice, but +25% aggression, threats gain AI faster, and −1 threat choice.
- Use when: Your lobby already owns door and camera roles and wants faster gearing toward Night 20.
Unlockable minds (ending rewards)
Scorched — unlock by beating Burning It Down
- Starts with the Heat threat pressure and faster door overheat / hungrier laptop power.
- Slight aggression relief (−10%) and an armor life pattern, but the fan becomes a permanent job.
- Pair with BiD practice notes on Endings and power discipline on Office Power.
Soaked — unlock by beating Paint the World Purple
- Adds Divine Punishment style locks and forces extra penalties with a higher chance they are threat-related.
- Fewer lives, armor life support, two starting threat choices.
- Ideal only after your team already understands Penalties and Jordi package pressure.
Puppeteered — unlock by beating False Savior
- Forces Lullaby / music tape management that influences the whole night.
- Two starting threat choices, stamina-leaning stats, armor life, low life count.
- Bring camera-capable teammates so office hands can babysit the music.
Hidden / meme minds
Community docs mention extreme challenge minds (Fooled-style kits with crushed power, single armor life, massive AI multipliers). Treat these as bragging tools, not progression. Disable Casual assumptions and do not queue them in random public elevators.
Removed minds (older Lost kits) may appear in outdated videos — trust the live select screen after Patch Notes.
Picking for each goal
| Goal | Mind |
|---|---|
| First clears after TitN | Calm or Guilty |
| Coin farming / shop greedy | Devastated |
| BiD mastery / Heat drills | Scorched |
| PtWP mastery | Soaked |
| False Savior mastery | Puppeteered |
| Fair tier testing | Guilty |
Co-op etiquette
Announce the mind before the elevator locks. Mixed minds are fine, but mixed expectations are not — a Calm teacher plus a Devastated speedrunner will argue about threat bans. Use Co-op Tips for role calls.
