Black Rose Horror Game — Score Higher

Updated 2 documented sourcesCompiled from the linked source documents. [steam-store][official-manual]

Your score in Black Rose is built from "Close Calls," which you earn by getting near the enemy without being caught. The score climbs while the enemy is dangerously close, so you want many Close Calls — but you should not stay close to the first enemy for too long, because that enemy is especially volatile and will catch you quickly.

Step-by-Step

  1. Understand that points come from Close Calls, not from simply surviving or exploring.[official-manual]

  2. Move in close to the enemy, then break away before it catches you — that near-miss is what registers as a Close Call.[official-manual]

  3. Watch your score as a proximity gauge: when it starts rising, the enemy is dangerously close to you.[official-manual]

  4. Aim for a high number of separate Close Calls rather than one long one, since each one adds to your score.[official-manual]

  5. Cut your Close Calls with the first enemy short — it is volatile and will catch you if you linger nearby.[official-manual]
