PETAPETA: School of Nightmares

PETAPETA: School of Nightmares is a stealth-survival game where paper dolls come to life and hunt you through a labyrinthine school. You play as a child trying to escape a nightmarish version of your classroom, where every step might awaken something twisted and mechanical in the shadows.

Silent Halls, Loud Consequences

The game begins innocently—a quiet school after dark. But as you explore, you realize the hallways shift, and creatures made of folded paper patrol the corridors. These PETAPETA dolls react to sound, movement, and sometimes even your heartbeat. Stealth is your only weapon, and each new level adds a mechanic that makes hiding harder.

• Sound-based detection: Running or slamming lockers can attract the dolls instantly.
• Multi-floor level design: Elevators and stairs often lead to unfamiliar layouts.
• Changing patrols: PETAPETA dolls don’t follow predictable loops—adaptation is required.

Items, Clues, and Safe Spots

Despite the pressure, players can find hidden notes, chalk-drawn symbols, and classroom tools to aid their escape. Some items distract the paper monsters, while others open secret compartments. Finding a working flashlight or a noise-canceling bell can mean the difference between survival and restart.

1. Use paper balls to lure PETAPETA dolls down alternate corridors.
2. Check behind chalkboards for hidden locker keys and maps.
3. Pay attention to the music—it shifts slightly when danger is near.

Unlockable Night Modes and Speed Challenges

PETAPETA: School of Nightmares includes several hidden modes, including a “Silent Mode” where you must escape without making any sound at all. There’s also a “Flooded Wing” challenge where you move slower, but the dolls do not. Players have discovered exploits that allow clipping through classroom walls or bypassing certain floors—but only by triggering events out of order.

PETAPETA: School of Nightmares is not just about survival—it’s about mastering fear through rhythm and stealth. You’re not fighting monsters—you’re outsmarting them, one silent step at a time.
