Sector 13: Haunted Woods guides

Every guide on this site, grouped by what you are trying to do. Core loop pages were first verified against the public demo; the game launched September 25, 2026 and sixteen patches have landed since (V1.0.1 on September 28 through V1.0.16 on October 31; site checked November 1, 2026 — see release date & demo).

Start here

• How to Play — the core loop, your kit, the enemies you will meet and the settings to fix before your first run.
• Voice Chat & Mic Fix — the two-step mic test, the two team-volume sliders and the official off-screen-button workaround.
• Release Date & Demo — it is live, price, reviews and what the studio said the full game adds.

Updates & fixes

• Patch Notes & Updates — every official patch from V1.0.1 (September 28) through V1.0.16 (October 31): spawn mix, Factory clown terrain, Unstuck points, connectivity, DLSS/FSR, SAFE Mode and the Jumpscare count.
• Co-op Connection Fix — can't join a friend's room? The studio's official same-region workaround, and what to include in a bug report.

Systems & data

• Artifacts — Artifact Finder coordinates, the TAB inventory, dropping with G and the spare-key mystery.
• Anomalies — how the detector reacts, why it goes silent and the studio's official repositioning trick.
• Achievements — all 21 achievements with live unlock rates: masks, the 13-Artifact and 100-Anomaly totals, and why escaping is so rare.
• Controls & Settings — verified key list, HUD readings, official graphics advice and system requirements.
