We Are So Dead walkthrough: 9-Floor Co-op Strategy

We Are So Dead is a co-op séance horror game built around an uneven-information system. One player starts dead and can see the demon, dangerous objects, safe routes, and the exit. The living players cannot hear that ghost directly, so every successful run depends on deliberate communication.

Your objective is consistent across the house: explore the current floor, locate the relics needed for the ritual, bring them back to the séance board, discover the demon’s true name, and spell it correctly before sunrise. Each floor changes the pressure through procedural layouts and different demon rules, so treat this as a repeatable strategy rather than a fixed puzzle solution.

The current 2026 release contains one world with nine floors and nine unique demons. The developer estimates roughly four to ten hours for a first stretch through the available content, while procedural layouts and different friend groups add replay value.

Video Highlights:

• The listed video source is not embedded because its title does not contain “We Are So Dead” and discusses a different horror game.
• This guide instead focuses on the confirmed séance, ghost, relic, demon-name, and nine-floor systems.
• No fixed room code or floor-specific solution should be assumed because the house uses procedural layouts.

Communication is the most important mechanic in the entire walkthrough. The dead can see information that the living need, but the living cannot hear ordinary ghost speech. The séance board is the only stable method for sending complete words, while flickering lights, doors, movement through players, and screams can provide faster but less precise signals.

Before searching, agree on a compact vocabulary. A ghost should not attempt to communicate a long explanation while a player is being chased. Use the board for names, item descriptions, and important route details. Use simple signals for immediate danger.

A good team separates information into three categories:

• Navigation: left, right, forward, return, door, stairs, exit.
• Threats: stop, hide, run, behind you, do not enter.
• Objectives: relic, board, name, ritual, missing item.

The living team should repeat every important instruction. For example, if the ghost spells “RIGHT DOOR,” the team should say “Right door confirmed” before moving. This prevents two players from interpreting the same message differently.

The dead should scout ahead whenever possible. Do not reveal every detail at once. Prioritize the next safe route, then the nearest relic, then the threat pattern. Overloading the living team with multiple rooms and symbols can cause more mistakes than silence.

A microphone is required for the online co-op experience, so voice discipline matters. Keep one player responsible for repeating board messages while another carries the relic. This creates a simple information chain and reduces accidental miscommunication.

Use this process on every floor. The exact room order can change, but the objective loop remains stable: scout, retrieve, return, identify, banish, and descend.

The strongest route is usually the shortest confirmed route, not the most thoroughly explored route. Optional rooms may contain atmosphere, hazards, or additional information, but they should not distract from the active ritual objective.

If a player dies, the situation changes rather than ending immediately. Dead players can join the ghost side, adding more voices and more scouting capacity. The remaining living players still need to interpret those signals, so assign one person to coordinate the dead team.

Every session can develop differently because the demon’s rules and the floor layout are not fixed. A successful team adapts its route instead of relying on a memorized map. The ghost has the information advantage, while the living have the ability to carry and interact with objects. Neither side can complete the floor alone.

Use these principles when the team encounters a new demon:

• Let the ghost observe the threat before the living approach.
• Treat unusual sounds, doors, and environmental changes as possible warnings.
• Keep the carrier’s route short and clearly marked.
• Regroup at the séance area after every successful delivery.
• Do not assume a route is safe simply because it worked earlier.
• When a player dies, immediately update the communication plan.

The living should preserve a stable formation when carrying an important item. One player leads, one carries, and one follows if the group has enough members. This creates a simple fallback: if the carrier becomes confused, the escort can guide them back to the last known safe point.

The ghost should avoid wasting signals. Door movement and flickering lights are valuable when used consistently, but random activity can make the team ignore a genuine warning. Establish whether one flicker means “look,” two means “danger,” and a door opening means “route,” then keep those meanings consistent for the entire floor.

The 2026 version is structured around nine floors beneath the haunted house. Each successful banishment unlocks the next descent, with new locations and demon behavior creating additional pressure. The game supports two to six players, so the best assignment depends on group size.

Use the checklist below to track a clean progression run. It does not replace floor-specific adaptation, but it helps prevent teams from skipping the essential ritual steps.

A floor is not truly solved when the team finds a relic. It is solved when the item reaches the ritual area and the players understand what to do next. Keep a verbal progress count, such as “two relics returned, one missing,” so the group always knows whether it is searching, preparing, or escaping.

The descent also changes the risk calculation. Early floors are useful for practicing signals and role assignments. Later floors should be approached with the same discipline, because additional demons and more complicated routes can punish improvised decisions.

For the most reliable long session, designate a permanent coordinator. That player does not need to carry every relic or read every board message; their job is to decide who moves, who waits, and when the team regroups. Clear leadership becomes increasingly valuable when several dead players are sending warnings at once.
