Chapter 4: The Babysitters walkthrough
First-clear route for this reported story-mode stage. Follow the required HUD objective. Optional challenges and extra kills are replay work.
Chapter titles below are reported by English walkthroughs and commonly shown in story mode. IllFonic's official story post says players guide Michael across six chapters, but it does not print this full title list.

Reported title: Chapter 4 — The Babysitters
Broad area: Wallace House neighborhood (official Orange Grove Estates landmark)
First-clear signal: Do not interrupt the Annie / Bob / Lynda / Laurie order early. The Wallace House is the chapter anchor.
Required HUD order
- Go to the Wallace House. Official Orange Grove copy names the Wallace residence. IIG: approaching the house starts the chain; a new ability is introduced here.
- Annie moves through her routine first. Whisper of the House: let that state change happen. IIG's first-clear kill can be any valid HUD elimination; the car strangle is a challenge window, not the story gate.
- Bob and Lynda need time to reach their sequence. If the HUD still points at them arriving, wait. Random aggression around the house can make the expected interaction never appear.
- When the HUD moves to Laurie, stay on her. IIG: fully stalking her is the listed objective; even if she is alerted, the next beat still appears. The chapter then becomes a chase.
- Continue the Laurie chase until the chapter resolves. Whisper of the House: Loomis arrives and the stage ends. Going back to inspect an earlier house at that point gains nothing for the story clear.
Event-chain caution: Whisper of the House Babysitters · HUD beats: Into Indie Games Chapters 4–5 · Wallace house named on the official locations post.
Items & interactions (sourced)
- Sheet + telephone wire (Lynda). IIG describes these as an optional film-recreation challenge after Bob — not required to finish the HUD chain.
- Annie car strangle / Bob kitchen pin. IIG challenge setups; Whisper prioritizes not breaking the event order over matching the film.
- Bloodthirsty Tier 3 execution. IIG lists a challenge needing the meter at tier three — replay work.

Common time sink
Earlier chapters punish wandering. Chapter 4 punishes arriving too early. Whisper of the House: stop asking who can be killed right now and check who the objective just moved to.
Official story copy only promises a path toward the babysitter encounter with Laurie Strode. Exact Annie / Bob / Lynda / Sheet setups are third-party challenge reports. Use the challenges page on replay. Continue in Chapter 5: Into The Shadows.
Optional vs required
Official copy says each chapter has secondary challenges and collectibles. They are not the story handoff. Open the optional challenges page only when you are replaying this stage.
This chapter FAQ
Why did the interaction I expected never appear?
Whisper of the House says arriving at the right house too early and changing a character state can break the event chain. Follow who the HUD just moved to, not who is physically closest.
Are the film-recreation kills required to finish Chapter 4?
No. Those setups are listed as optional challenges. The first-clear path is the Wallace House HUD chain through Laurie until the chapter resolves.
