The Lonely Player Anomaly Commission in NTE takes you to a school called Clement Academy. There are a ton of anomalies in the school, but they don’t appear during the day. You must be there at night and play a game with eight different Wandering Puppets. Afterward, head to the Auditorium to complete the mission and disperse the anomaly.

Updated on June 12, 2026, by Nahda Nabiilah: Even though NTE is now in version 1.1, some players still haven’t completed the Lonely Player Anomaly Commission. Considering this is one of the most tedious quests available, it’s completely understandable. After posting this article initially, I’ve gotten a ton of feedback and questions regarding the mission. For that, this article has been updated to include more information about possible issues and solutions to the puzzles. Of course, if you still have any problems, you’re free to leave a comment.
Lonely Player Anomaly Commission In NTE (School Anomaly)
To complete the Lonely Player Anomaly Commission in NTE, you must invite eight Lost Puppets by doing their cryptic tasks. Here are the eight Wandering Puppets you must find:
- Garden Puppet (Invisible Puppet)
- Gym Puppet (Hide-and-Seek Puppet)
- Running Track Puppet (Running Puppet)
- Basketball Court Puppet (Telekinesis Puppet)
- Hallway Puppet (Knocking Puppet)
- Music Room Puppet (Piano Puppet)
- Classroom Puppet (Mini Puppet)
- Cooking Class Puppet (Ball Game Puppet)
Once done, return to the Auditorium to complete the game.
The puppet only appears between 8 PM and 6 AM. If you fail a game, it might be because it’s past the puppet’s wandering time.
However, before trying to find these puppets, there are some side tasks to do that will assist the Lonely Player Anomaly Commission, which are:
How To Get Empathy Eye Drops In NTE
Go to the field and find the Student Who Lost Their Diary. Talk to her, and she will ask you to use Empathy Eye Drops to find her missing diary. Keep using the eye drops until you see where her diary is.
To fetch the student’s diary, look at the row of buildings, and go to the road to the right of the building with the stairs. You’ll soon arrive at a small garden that has trees.
On the bench is the Lost Diary. Pick it up, but don’t leave yet.
If it’s daytime, change the time to past 08:00 PM (20:00) to enter the nighttime, when the Wandering Puppets appear.
Garden Puppet In NTE
Now, you should see a puppet near the tree. When you approach it, it will disappear. The goal of this puppet game is to catch the invisible puppet.
There are multiple ways to catch this puppet:
- Stand still until the puppet bumps into you.
- Pay attention to the floor to see footprints, which indicate where the puppet is going.
- Turn the volume up and listen to where the footsteps are the loudest. The puppet would be around that area.
Once you find it, interact by pressing the Invite Puppet button.
Next, return to the student to give her the diary. She will give you the Empathy Eye Drop as a thank-you.
Possible Issues
If you can’t find the mannequin, no matter how much you circle, you can try your best to find a footstep, then patiently wait there until the puppet circles back. Turn up your volume so you can tell when the Wandering Puppet is approaching.
Gym Puppet In NTE
From the girl’s location, next to you would be a gym building. Enter the place by using the furthest door from you.
There would be five puppets by the door when you approach it. That’s how you know you’re at the right door.
When you try to enter, there would be something blocking the way. Attack the invisible barrier to reveal a puppet. This tells you the goal of this game: Find invisible puppets around the gym.
Thankfully, we already get the Empathy Eye Drop, which you can use to see from the invisible puppet’s perspective.
The first puppet is by the net.
The second puppet is by the net on the other side of the stage.
Stand in front of the green door, and move toward the net, and you should find the invisible puppet.
The third puppet is up the ladder, overlooking the stage.
The fourth puppet is on the stage.
The final puppet is by the door. This time, you can interact with it to Invite Puppet.
Possible Issues
If you can’t find this final puppet, your quest might be bugged. When this happened to me, I exited the gym and tried restarting the entire task by changing the time to morning, then night, then morning again. I also tried changing the weather. You know the game is reset when the puppets are outside again. On my second attempt, the puppets appeared normally.
You can try teleporting away and restarting the game if the method I tried didn’t restart your hide-and-seek game. If you still can’t find the final puppet, try to attack around the entrance door, and see if you can find where the mannequin is.
Other players have reported that their final puppet is bugged somewhere on the stage, so you can try that too.
Running Track Puppet In NTE
Exit the gym and go find a puppet on the running track. Press Start Race to begin the game. To win, you must run to the finish line without losing the puppet from your camera. If you look away, the puppet will immediately arrive at the finish line.
So make sure to arrange your camera before you begin the race. Some puppets will appear in the middle of the track, which may remove the runner from your view, so keep an eye out for those too.
How To Get The Unconventional Attire In NTE (Zero’s Prison Outfit)
You can keep your prison outfit in Neverness to Everness, but it requires quite a lot of work.
Basketball Court Puppet In NTE
Once done running, look ahead to see the basketball court.
It’s located southwest of the runner’s start point.
This one is the easiest task: Be patient and wait until the puppet is between the two fields. Then you can choose Invite Puppet.
Hallway Puppet In NTE
Return to the Student Who Lost Their Diary location. Next to the building with stairs, there’s a door that leads to the building. Before doing this task, make sure you already have Cheese the camera, as I mentioned at the start of this guide.
When you’re at the doorway, you can see a puppet in the distance. When you approach it, it will crumble, and you will constantly get knocked when you’re in the hallway. The wind animation indicates something inside is moving fast past you, which is why you keep getting pushed.
Use Cheese here to stop time and reveal the puppet. You only have one chance, so make sure not to mess up this step.
Possible Issues
If you lose Cheese, some players reported that you may be able to reveal the puppet if you stand in the middle of the hallway and let it knock you around three times. Using Adler may be mandatory.
Another player reported that they were able to solve this one by using Peepy’s Sunglasses.
Music Room Puppet In NTE (Piano Puzzle)
Still in the same building, go upstairs to 3F.
Next to the stairs is a music room.
To alter the room, keep walking in a circle in the direction where the floor is a different color. If you want to solve the piano riddle yourself, you can stand still and listen to the tune closely. Each time the room changes, the music changes too.
In total, there are three tunes to replicate.
Once ready, keep circling. This will slowly change the room.
Keep circling, and soon you’ll see the puppet playing a piano.
To solve the piano puzzle in NTE, you must replicate the tunes from when you were circling the room. The puppet uses the first 10 keys, and there are three tunes to replicate. Here’s the solution:
- Tune 1: 4 – 10 – 8 – 6 – 1 – 10 – 7 – 5
- Tune 2: 1 – 5 – 10 – 9 – 10 – 5 – 10 – 5 – 1 – 5 – 10 – 9 – 10 – 5 – 10 – 5
- Tune 3: 8 – 7 – 5 – 7 – 8 – 7 – 5 – 8 – 7 – 5
Make sure to press OK once you’re done with each tune. If done correctly, you will get a green smiley face on the marked spot.
Possible Issues
You may fail the replication if you’re outside the puppet’s wandering time (the puppet disappears from 6 AM). In this case, change the time to 8 PM, then redo from Tune 1.
If that still doesn’t work, teleport away, keep changing the time, then restart the game. This is to ensure your piano puzzle in NTE is truly reset. Then, return to the music room and replay from Tune 1.
Classroom Puppet In NTE
Exit the building and enter the one to the southeast. As you approach the puppet, it will keep moving until it disappears.
Enter the classroom at the end of the hallway.
Head to the door at the back and open it.
As you enter, the class will change, and there will be a puppet on the table. Interact with it.
Go to the door again to switch classes.
Now, pick up the puppet from the cabinet. Then, switch classes again.
Open the locker in the corner and take the puppet. As usual, use the door to move classes once more.
This time, the puppet is hidden behind a vase.
Attack the vase and claim the puppet.
This time, when you go through the back door, you will reach some sort of storage room. Invite Puppet, then exit the building as you’re done here.
How To Switch Appraiser In NTE (Neverness To Everness)
Players can change the Appraiser after completing a quest in Neverness to Everness.
Cooking Class Puppet In NTE
Afterward, go to the building on the northwest, then go to 3F. You will find a cooking class, and the task for this game is to find which cup hides the ball.
You can try to follow the cup yourself or take a guess, but if you have followed the prerequisites I mentioned, you can ask Peepy for help.
Peepy will tell you exactly which cup is the right one, even without you keeping track of them.
The final cup game will spawn a ton of cups around the classroom. The correct cup may be the one in front of the Wandering Puppet, but it can also be a random cup in the classroom. Therefore, the easiest way to solve this puzzle is by asking Peepy.
Auditorium Puppet In NTE
After playing with all eight puppets, return to the Auditorium and interact with the Wandering Puppet on the stage.
Wait until the puppet stops moving on the audience chair, then approach it.
Interact with the final puppet to complete the Lonely Player Anomaly Commission in NTE. Quite a long mission, but I love that there’s a lack of direction in this quest and that you have to figure out the cryptic tasks yourself.
Possible Issues
If you can’t interact with the puppet on the stage, that means you haven’t completed all the Lonely Player puzzles yet. You must invite all the puppets before you can complete the Anomaly Commission. There’s no other way around it.
If you’ve tried inviting all the puppets or have any issue with one or more of the mannequins, then your quest may be truly bugged. In this case, your best bet is to contact customer support by providing a recording of your issue.
If you need more help with NTE tasks, we have a guide for the Change Your Perspective Anomaly Commission, Ride Assault Anomaly Commission, or all methods to escape prison.
