Getting Started: Surviving the Mansion's Welcome

Drain Mansion kicks off with a brief cutscene setting the eerie tone. While you can skip it, it's short and worth watching. Opt into the tutorial—it’s concise and crucial for grasping the game's core mechanics like movement, interaction, and escaping enemies. Once you gain control, head right, follow the signposts, grab the key, and unlock the door to proceed.

Mastering the Basics: Movement and Enemy Encounters

The game's core revolves around evading succubi. If caught, rapidly press Enter and Space or alternate the left-right arrow keys to struggle free. Be cautious: some enemies, like the Purple Succubus, are instant game-overs upon contact. Others, like Slimes, are stationary but lethal if touched. Always stay alert and plan your moves carefully.

Exploring the Mansion: Key Areas and Strategies

• Room 1.2: After the safe room, a cutscene introduces the Purple Succubus. Immediately run right, jumping over three crates. She's fast and can jump too, so don't linger.
• Room 1.3: Encounter Slimes here. They're stationary but deadly. Navigate carefully and note the locked door requiring a red key.
• Room 1.4: Use crates to reach higher platforms. Watch out for Slimes and utilize moving platforms to progress.
• Room 1.5: A Purple Succubus patrols below. Move a crate to access stairs, ensuring she's facing away. Use hiding spots if needed.
• Room 1.6: Navigate moving platforms and transport a crate to reach new areas. Timing is crucial to avoid restarting.
• Room 1.7: Solve a switch puzzle where each switch affects adjacent ones. Activate them in the correct sequence to open new paths.
• Room 1.9: Face a Green Succubus. Use elevated platforms to avoid her and collect the Red Book.
• Room 1.10: Beware of breaking tiles and a Brown Succubus. Precise jumps are essential to avoid falling.
• Room 1.11: Retrieve the red key while avoiding a Purple Succubus. This key unlocks multiple doors.

• Room 1.14: Push a crate to reach a high exit, escaping the Green Succubus. Speed is vital here.
