In Story mode, each scarecrow presents a unique taunt or query, requiring players to identify the correct effigy.

You're helpless without me', choose the central scarecrow with short hair, resembling Hinako, which is being observed by a Rinko-like figure. The third riddle, 'I'll be your friend. Otherwise, you'd be so miserably alone', points to the scarecrow on the right that resembles Hinako. For the fourth taunt, 'Tell me, truly. You two aren't anything more than friends, right? I've always been watching you when you weren't looking, you know', the solution is the central Hinako-like scarecrow positioned between a Rinko-like figure and a Shu-like figure. Finally, for 'You. Yes, you', opt for the Hinako-like scarecrow located at the rear.

On Hard difficulty, the scarecrow riddles intensify. The first, 'I'll put on my polite smile for now', refers to the scarecrow on the left displaying a smiling face beneath a frowning mask. For the lament, 'What it's like to have been deceived by you for so long?', select the middle scarecrow impaled with a sickle. The third riddle, 'He never once looked at me the way he looked at you. Not once', directs players to the leftmost scarecrow, which is not being observed by any others. 'You've always been such an eyesore' indicates the bob-haired scarecrow resembling Hinako. Lastly, for the accusatory 'You hurt me, and even hurt him too.

In the challenging Lost in the Fog mode, the final set of riddles awaits. The phrase, 'I think I'll give you a standing ovation', refers to the scarecrow on the left, bent backward, sporting Rinko's hair. When presented with 'Good riddance. It feels as though I finally got this painful burden off my chest', choose the scarecrow in the background that also has Rinko's distinctive hair. The sorrowful accusation, 'You hurt him, and how you're leaving him behind. I hope you suffer for what you've done', guides you to the Hinako-like scarecrow at the rear.

Go do your own thing, just like you always have', refers to the Hinako-like scarecrow positioned independently to the Northwest, near hay bales, away from the main group.
