If you’re looking for a complete way through House of the Locust on Roblox, this guide covers the basic setup and what to expect as you begin the game.
The game is presented as a horror-style experience, and the opening section doesn’t give you much information before dropping you into the gameplay. So if you’re starting for the first time, here’s how to get set up and begin your run.
How to Start House of the Locust
When you first enter the game, you’ll be placed in the lobby.
From there:
- Enter your lobby name.
- Set the maximum players to 1 if you want to play alone.
- Create the lobby.
- Start the game.
- Wait for the game to load you into the main experience.
Playing solo is a good option if you’re trying to learn the game because you won’t have other players running ahead and triggering events before you’ve had a chance to explore.
House of the Locust Gameplay
Once the game starts, you’ll need to explore the environment and pay close attention to what’s happening around you.
There isn’t much hand-holding during the opening. The game relies heavily on atmosphere, exploration, and discovering what you’re supposed to do as you move through the area.
Take your time when entering new rooms. If something looks unusual, it’s worth investigating, especially if you’ve just encountered a new event or reached an area you couldn’t access before.
Pay Attention to Your Surroundings
One of the easiest ways to get lost in a horror game like this is to rush through every room.
Instead, keep track of:
- Doors you’ve already checked
- Areas that were previously inaccessible
- Objects that look interactive
- Changes in the environment
- New sounds or visual events
- Any paths that open after an encounter
If you reach a dead end, don’t immediately assume you’ve missed a key. Sometimes the game expects you to return to an earlier location after triggering an event.
Playing Solo
For a first playthrough, I’d recommend using a one-player lobby.
It makes the experience much easier to follow because you’re responsible for every interaction and can explore at your own pace. It also makes it easier to remember where you’ve been if you need to backtrack.
If you’re playing with friends, though, the experience can obviously be more chaotic, especially when something unexpected happens.
Full Walkthrough
The available gameplay footage for this run does not provide enough dialogue, readable objectives, or clearly identifiable item interactions to reliably reconstruct every puzzle and progression step.
Rather than inventing specific keys, codes, locations, or solutions that aren’t shown in the footage, the safest walkthrough is to follow the game’s progression through exploration and environmental events.
The important thing is to watch for changes after each major encounter. If a path appears blocked, revisit nearby rooms and check whether an interaction has changed.
House of the Locust Tips
Don’t rush through the opening. The game uses its environment to guide you, so look around before moving on.
Explore rooms thoroughly. Check corners, doors, objects, and anything that looks out of place.
Remember where you came from. Backtracking can be important when a new area becomes accessible.
Play with sound on. Horror games often use audio cues to signal that something has changed nearby.
Don’t assume every scare means you’re supposed to run. Some events are simply there to build tension or indicate progression.
If you’re stuck, retrace your steps. Go back through the last few rooms you visited and look for something that you may have missed.
Final Thoughts
House of the Locust is best approached as an exploration-heavy horror experience rather than a game where you can simply follow a straight objective marker from beginning to end.
Start a solo lobby, explore carefully, keep track of previously inaccessible areas, and pay attention whenever the environment changes. The biggest mistake is usually rushing ahead and missing the interaction that actually advances the game.
For a genuinely 100% step-by-step puzzle walkthrough, the missing gameplay portion would need to show the actual interactions and objectives in enough detail to identify each solution accurately.
