The Map
A small north-up minimap sits in the corner throughout play; press M for a full-screen version of the same map, drawn once per school and updated live on top.
Legend
You (an arrow, pointing the way you're facing)
Friends (co-op teammates); red instead if they're downed
A little one still out
A little one still out, and hurt — labelled "(hurt)"; take them to the nurse's office
A little one safe in your classroom
Food on the floor (or a lunchbox)
Fuel can on the floor
Spare part or wrench on the floor
A job item (hamster, crayon, shiny card, or a drawing) on the floor
An uncleaned mess
The generator, running (red diamond instead if it's off)
The fusebox
The crib, in your classroom
Mrs. Honeywell, while she's present
Meredith, while she's at the counter
Jerry, while he's out of the gym
Grump — only shown in daylight, and only before day 4
A room today's list wants you to visit (pulsing outline)
A locked door, or the front doors while still chained (green once open)
What only shows on the full map (M)
The corner minimap draws every marker above except text labels. Open the full map (M) and you additionally get:
- Room names, printed centred in every room that has one (your classroom in cyan, today's job rooms in amber, everything else a dim cream), automatically shrunk to fit the room's width.
- Named labels next to every marker — friends by name (with "(down)" appended if they're downed), lost toddlers by name, the generator's live fuel percentage, and "EXIT (open)" or "EXIT (chained)" over the front doors.
Both maps share the same drawing code and update roughly 10 times a second; the corner minimap is simply the same picture clipped to a circle and zoomed in around your own position, always north-up.
What is never shown
- Bob never appears on the map, at any time, under any circumstances. You have no way to see him coming except your own eyes and ears.
- Grump only appears while it's daytime and before he has turned. At night, or from day 4 onward, he is invisible on the map exactly like Bob — only visible if you can actually see him in the world.
Rooms lit on the map
While the generator is running, every currently-lit non-hallway room is tinted faintly amber on the map, so you can tell at a glance which rooms Bob has already switched off behind him.
