Crimson Snow Complete Walkthrough and Guide

This manual is for people who don’t want to watch a video guide and prefer to read. I discuss the entire game and explain how to achieve different endings with minimal spoilers. Enquanto isso, in case you’re also an achievement hunter like myself, feel free to check this Crimson Snow achievement guide.

Introdução

This is a survival horror game that focuses a lot on staying alive. Your main goal is to escape from your demonic ex, who really wants you back. The gameplay mostly involves walking around and picking up items. There’s no sprinting, agachado, or using weapons until the very end of the game. Your ex roams the halls of the house you’re in, but avoiding her isn’t too difficult. I created this guide to assist anyone who prefers written instructions over a video.

Beginning

The game starts with you peering out of a window, and your phone sits on your left. Shortly after beginning, your phone rings. Pegue, press the action button, and you’ll meet your girlfriend, Joyce.

Following her initial question, you get to choose how to respond. The endings depend on your choices throughout the game: Happily Ever After, We Are Together Again, Perda, Parting, and I Can Fix Her. I’ll note which responses lead to each ending.

Your response to her first question doesn’t seem crucial, so pick whichever you like; you’ll get a similar reply from her.

Joyce will ask if you want a photo of her in the mountains or by the pool. Choose whichever you prefer.

When you mention receiving a letter, the choice doesn’t matter. She’ll be excited and instruct you to go downstairs to open it. Head to the door across from the window, to the left of the bed. Descend the stairs, and you’ll see a Christmas tree. Turn left to find the front door. On a white cabinet, you’ll find the letter. Pegue e leia; it’s from your crazy ex.

Joyce asks about the sender, and you can only lie with two options: the tax office or your parents. Either works, but saying it’s from your parents may raise suspicion due to your estrangement.

She informs you of a surprise and directs you back upstairs to the window. Open the window despite the blizzard outside.

You’ll notice a flickering light in the window of the house across the street. Your response doesn’t matter.

She wants you to join her in the fun and requests sparklers. Vire à direita, and through the shutter-like door, you’ll find the laundry room. The sparklers are in the top left cabinets, except the second one. Pick them up.

Return to the window, press the action button to set off a sparkler. Joyce asks you to come over and wonders about a Christmas gift.

For the Parting ending, tell her you don’t have a present. If you want a different ending, say you have a gift.

Desça, grab the present from the table next to the Christmas tree. With your gift, venture into the blizzard toward her house. As the storm intensifies, your screen whites out. Keep heading for the blinking window. You can check the mailbox for someone’s unpaid bills.

Entering the House & 2 Snow Globes

After entering, the door locks behind you. Look to your left, and you’ll spot a room with a door framed in Christmas lights. It’s locked, and you’ll hear a mysterious giggle…

The double doors directly across from you are now open. Walk through them and head to the end of the hall. You’ll see a woman’s shadow entering the next room. Follow her to find a big Christmas tree and receive a call from Joyce.

For the Parting ending, tell her, “You have a little mess here…” Se não, dizer, “I’m already inside your house.” The power blows, ending the call and plunging the house into darkness.

Turn around and go back down the hall. Near the entrance, an apparition of a ghostly woman appears in the living room, disappearing before you can reach her. Enter the living room; the TV turns on.

Continue into the dining room. Find a sparkler in the left cabinet, and head for the red candle in the kitchen. Check the table for a photo and inspect a postcard. There’s another sparkler in the middle drawer. Vire à direita, and the last left-side cabinet and sink drawer also have sparklers.

Go through the white door on the right side of the kitchen. In the first door on your right, you’ll hear bells jingling and find two tables to hide under.

Read a note on the table. Depois, a door opens through the broken wall; your stalker has arrived. Inversão de marcha, hide under the table, wait for her to enter, and stay put until she leaves.

Now she patrols the left hallway. Wait for her to pass the open door, então saia, keeping some distance. Enter the left door; you can close it. Another door in the room can be closed too.

In a storage room with Christmas lights on the ground, follow them through boxes. Enter the door at the end. In a small room with a Christmas tree decoration, three snow globes move away as you approach. Answer Joyce’s call logically.

Interacting with the door makes the snow globes vanish. Return to the living room; a chained door is beside the TV. Enter the white door with windows; a music box plays “We Wish You a Merry Christmas.” Grab a sparkler from the right upper cabinet and a snow globe from the left. Hide under the table when your stalker approaches.

Put the snow globe on the Christmas tree door or keep it. When your stalker stands in the living room doorway, hide behind the cabinet to her right. Follow her when she turns around.

In a pantry/storage room on the left, she’ll poke in for a jumpscare. Inversão de marcha, hide behind shelves; she won’t see you. She now walks further down the left hall. Follow her, turn right at the fork, and enter the room on your right.

Another snow globe is in the left drawer on the desk. Hide under the table when your stalker enters, then follow her as she walks left. Pass her, walk down the hall, past double doors, and climb into the vent with bloody handprints.

Na sala, find bolt cutters on the counter, and in the table drawer behind you, there’s a sparkler. Use bolt cutters on the chained door. Hide under the table; when your stalker leaves, follow her out.

Return to the living room to the chained door, following your stalker to a room on the right. Esconder, wait for her to walk left past the doorway, then head back to the living room. Place the second snow globe on the Christmas tree door.

The 3rd Snow Globe

Use the bolt cutters on the chained door next to the TV. Entre na sala, and on your right, atop a laundry basket, you’ll find the last snow globe. Don’t worry about your stalker; head straight back to the Christmas tree door. Putting all three snow globes in the slots unlocks it.

In the pitch-black room, walk forward; a spotlight reveals a box of tree decorations. Agarre-os, inversão de marcha, and go back through the door. Agora, it’s a long hallway that quickly shortens. Exit through the left door and follow the lights on the floor.

Entre na porta à sua direita. There’s a harmless jumpscare at a slightly ajar door, mas está bloqueado. On your left is the room with the tree, and the door has chains. Use the bolt cutters, approach the tree, and the screen fades out.

When it returns, Joyce calls. Two choices impact the ending. “Joyce, you need to leave! Agora!” leads to her getting hurt and the Loss ending. For other endings, escolher “Hide somewhere and call the police!” Ditado, “Everything feels like a dream,” gets the best response; “I think I just found your Christmas decorations” makes her suspicious.

After the call, walk into the dark hall to the right of the tree. Keep going forward; you’ll spot your stalker with her back turned. Approaching makes her chase you.

Return to the tree room and run to the left side, up to the double doors with windows. Wait there. When she enters, she’ll be in awe of your decorating and crawls into a vent to the right of the tree. Seguir, but don’t get too close.

Go back down the hall she chased you from. You’ll be back at the entrance. Enter the living room, grab the sparkler on the coffee table, then go back to the dining room. Use bolt cutters on the chained door on the right.

Upon opening, you’ll find stairs to the basement. Desça. Para a direita, Joyce calls again. Continue forward as you hear a tussle. Stop when you reach the chair.

Depending on what you told Joyce, she’ll update you on her condition. For the Loss ending, she needs to be injured. The next question’s answer doesn’t seem crucial. For good endings, when she asks what to do, tell her to hide.

After the call, turn to the yellow lantern. There’s a sparkler on the shelf to your left and on a table to your right. Approach the lantern and go through the door right next to it.

Down into the Basement

Continue down the hall, and a barrel will roll in front of you. Walk past it, e à sua esquerda, you’ll find a vent with clanging sounds. Navigate through the maze of shelves; the last one on your right has a sparkler.

À frente, there’s a hallway with more shelves that fall when approached. Crawl through the mess; your stalker appears for a jump-scare, crawls away, and enters a vent.

Upon standing up, a gated door is on your right. Vá para a esquerda; there’s a red cable on the floor to follow later. Near an open vent, she crawls out and walks right. A door with a Christmas wreath is in front of you; turn left and follow the blue cable.

Enter a room on your right, grab the sparkler, e sair. Continue following the blue cable; you’ll enter a room with a body bag. Read a note on the table.

Interact with the breaker, hide under the table. She walks in, then out. Follow her past the door with the sparkler, take the first left. This leads you past her, and the wreath door is on your left; ignore it and head straight.

She crawls out of a vent, so enter the room on your right. Inspect a note on the table. As a door opens, go back out, follow the red cable to the right, be cautious as she patrols.

In a large room on the right with two entrances and red candles, wait for her to walk down the hall, back up, then enter from the second entrance. Move past her in the hall outside.

Follow the red cable to a room with another body bag. Grab a sparkler from the table. Interact with the breaker, hide under the table. When she barges in, it’s scripted. Black out, wake up on the floor, and exit the left door. She catches on; follow the red cable to the now accessible gated door.

Approach the hole in the wall; she grabs your arm. Break free, now possessing the key for the wreath door. Follow the red cable, then cross to the blue cable; the door is in front of you.

Unlock and open it, enter the dark room. A spotlight turns on; grab the box of fireworks in front of you and walk forward into the brown door.

Fireworks show! Boom!

Ao entrar na sala, Joyce calls again. For the Parting ending, tell her, “Por favor, speak quieter.” De outra forma, tell her you’re fine. If you’re aiming for Parting, say you found the fireworks; de outra forma, claim the crazy lady stole your gift.

To reach the second floor, the elevator is boarded up. Vire à esquerda, open the second drawer, and find a crowbar. Prepare for a jumpscare as she reaches out from under the dresser.

Use the crowbar on the wooden planks to access the elevator. Crawl in, heading to the second floor.

Upon exiting, you’ll hear police sirens. Walk through the front door; there’s a door decorated like a gift, but ignore it. Turn left toward the large window, where police lights flash. Joyce calls; keep walking forward, and you’ll hear a commotion.

Approach the next window, light up a sparkler, then turn left to find lights on the floor. Squeeze through boxes; fun sounds ensue. Joyce calls again; walk to the window for a gruesome scene. For Parting, tell her to pull herself together; de outra forma, reassure her you two will be okay.

Follow another line of lights on the left, go through the door, e no final do corredor. A door with lights is currently inaccessible. Proceed past it, enter the left door, and brace for a harmless jump-scare. Pick up the controller and enter the room.

Inspect postcards and a note on the table. There’s a telescope; inspect it for a call from Joyce. Choose either option. For the Parting ending, lie to her; de outra forma, tell her the truth. For good endings, explain you found evidence of her deteriorating mental health.

After the call, Vire à direita, go down the hall, and enter the door at the end on the left to find another key. Turn around for another harmless jump-scare. Respire fundo, return toward the telescope, then leave the room. Unlock the door with lights on your left.

Avoiding the Landmine

In the hallway with numerous doorways, the first room on the right has a table and a large white wardrobe. Walk past it; as you approach the second doorway, your stalker walks out. Retreat to the previous room, hide under the table, wait for her to turn away, and follow her. Enter the doorway she came out of to find a bathroom. Hide by the sinks until she walks toward the first doorway, then sneak past her to the right.

Proceed straight through the open door and close it behind you. Keep moving until you see a red candle on a table. Read a letter on the table, and a door will unlock. Vire à esquerda, go down the hall, and find a room on your right. Ahead is a hallway where she stands with her back to you. Entre na sala, push a dresser with bloody handprints under a small window, climb in, and navigate the bookshelves. Drop to the floor when she has her back turned. Enter the white door on your right, feche-o, find a sparkler on the bed, and proceed through the white door deeper into the room.

In a room filled with broken ornaments, your stalker is on the floor crying. Follow a path to the other door without stepping on any ornaments. Reach the open doorway, go through, and close the door. To your left are large windowed double doors; in the broken window, grab a gun.

Joyce calls; inform her you found the gun. For the Parting ending, dizer, “Seriamente, Joyce? Not now”; de outra forma, perguntar, “O que é?” For the next Parting answer and for We Are Together Again, dizer, “Don’t say that”; de outra forma, let her know the gift is a ring.

Approach the double windowed doors; shoot the padlock with the gun. Walk through; as you stop, your stalker uses The Force to pull you toward her. While being dragged, shoot a red canister to make it explode in her face. Prossiga em frente; follow the lights to your left. Squeeze past boxes, turn right through a doorway, and keep going until you find a doorway on your left leading to the Christmas present door. Use the gun to “desbloquear” isto.

Enter the darkness; a spotlight reveals the next item, the ring. Go through the windowed double doors; Joyce calls again. Choose either answer. Descend the stairs, and the scene fades to black.

The Final Showdown

Enter the white door on your right, and proceed to the double doors leading to the Christmas tree. In front of the tree, there will be a green highlight indicating where to place the gift. When you’re ready for the final showdown, put the gift in its place.

Your stalker enters the room and approaches the present. Next to you, there’s a button to deploy the fireworks. For the secret ending (I Can Fix Her), refrain from pressing the button and choose to stay with her. If you opt for this ending, selecione “continuar” from the main menu to explore other endings.

Press the button when ready; fireworks explode in her face. Use your gun to shoot her until she disappears into a ball of flame. Agora, engage in a game of cat and mouse.

Ensure you shoot your gun until you reload to avoid running out when she actively pursues you.

Red canisters are strategically placed around the house, and she attacks from different sides. Stay within sight of a canister, shoot it when she’s close, then continue firing until she disappears. Listen to her footsteps to gauge her location. Repeat this process three times to defeat her for good.

Congratulations on defeating her! Agora, you have access to the outside world. Leave the house to witness fireworks. Depending on your responses to Joyce, you’ll experience one of four endings.
