Notes

• As the difficulty increases, the damage you receive increases, brightness decreases, ghosts and janitors become more intelligent, and the chance of heart rate increases.
• In "Hard" and "Real" difficulties, you cannot save the Original game, as you cannot obtain the marker pens. In the remake you can save the game during any difficulty.
• "Hard" and "Real" difficulties give the player a 2-hour time limit to complete the game. If the time limit runs out, the player loses. In the remake there is no time limit for the harder difficulties.
• In "Very Easy" and "Easy" difficulties, you cannot obtain the Sanitary Gloves, since your heart rate will not increase.
• In "Very Easy" and "Easy" difficulties, you can obtain hints by receiving SMS messages on your cell phone.
• Originally only "Very Easy", "Easy" and "Normal" are available from the start. To unlock "Hard" and "Real" the player has to complete the game once/on "Normal". A patch enables all 5 difficulties to be available from the start.
