The hole in the roof was no longer square, and was made easier to access. This time, it was heated with electricity and needed to be cooled off.

The window was changed to a 45 degree rotated square, the lighting was added and the crowbar was moved to a wall. The room containing the crowbar was heavily altered. The room near the back with a ladder scaling up to it was changed from being white to patterned. The windmill was moved to the roof of the house, and had a shorter shaft.

The house was similar to the previous Alpha's house, but some rooms and features were changed and swapped. The entrance to the Fear School map was openable, but contained a mannequin, a purple light and a table and chair instead of being empty like in future versions. A large crowd chattering could be heard behind each door. The entrances to the three Fear levels were added, though the levels themselves were not in the game yet. This was the first version of the house to have a windmill, though it was at the side of the house, rather than on the roof. There was only a single tram station, and it was inaccessible, as the door to the ladder shaft was closed and had no switch, and wooden boards covered either end of the station. There was no tram car, and the track had barricades all over it. There was a train track just like in the first Alpha, but the track was longer and twisted more times around the house. There was still not a day/night cycle, but it was always night-time in this version instead of the continuous daytime of Alpha 2. The Neighbor's house was back to being large and colorful, though looking significantly different to the house in the first Alpha. In this version, the protagonist and the Neighbor had different-looking cars instead of a yellow version and red version of the same car. There was no intro music, other than a tense organ track. This cutscene consisted of the view switching between the player driving to their new house and the Neighbor grabbing a pair of binoculars, walking up the stairs and looking out of his window. This was also the first build to feature a tutorial and an intro cutscene. When their vision returns, the Neighbor can be seen burying the protagonist alive. Upon opening the basement, a cutscene would play where the player starts to approach the door, and then the Neighbor appears from the left, closes the door and rushes the player. They also did not need a four-digit code anymore, and in this build only, the Neighbor had 3 different chase themes, and the front doors had a unique sound effect for opening/closing. In it, the player required the same items to reach the basement, though removing boards from the basement door was altered to instead require clicking the four nails instead of just clicking the board.
