The Tooth Fae
Don't let her take your teeth.
Core Gameplay Guide
Getting Started
Welcome to the grim, enchanting world of The Tooth Fae. Forget the quarters under the pillow; your job is far more hands-on. You are a collector, an agent of the Queen, tasked with harvesting teeth from sleeping mortals. Your objective is simple: fill the Queen's “Perfect Lovelies” cabinet with all 16 unique teeth.
Interface & Meters
Lucidity (wake-up risk), Pain (shock), and Fear (accelerates Lucidity) are your vital gauges. The tool tray carries:
- Fairy Dust – suppresses Lucidity and Fear, your primary stabilizer.
- Hook – opens the mouth and starts every job, raising Lucidity slightly.
- Anesthetic Syringe – drop Pain spikes before long drills or multi-tooth runs.
- Dental Drill – loosens the prize but stresses all meters; pulse it.
- Forceps – finish once the tooth is loose and meters are stable.
All Secrets and Endings: The Perfect Collection
The "ending" of The Tooth Fae is achieving 100% completion of your tooth collection. Once you've acquired all 16 unique teeth, your collection is complete. There is no final cutscene; the "My Perfect Lovelies" collection screen filled with your trophies is the ultimate reward.
Trait Counterplay
- Heavy Sleeper – generous Lucidity window; ideal for practicing longer drill cycles.
- Tough – Pain skyrockets; alternate dust and anesthetic around the 70–80% mark.
- Night Owl / Insomniac – Lucidity starts high. Tap the drill, dust immediately, never linger.
- Fragile / Brittle – teeth shatter easily; keep drill bursts ultra short.
- Vampire / Ancient / Eldritch – unique mechanics, from ultra-fast Lucidity to UI distortion. Enter stocked with dust and a spare syringe.
