Gameplay Basics
What is the goal / How do I win?
Steal copper from the holes in the walls. You can steal the copper by going up to it, looking at it and pressing e. Once you have enough to satisfy your quota you can leave by going to the exit door.Where is the copper/money?
Its located in the holes in the wall you’ll find around the facility. One is at the start when you spawn in with graffiti pointing at it.What are each of the labels at the top left?
The one with a lightning bolt is your stamina- The one with a money symbol is your quota, once the first number is higher than the second number you can exit
What does the timer at the top represent?
Your time limit until you run out of time and lose from the cops showing up.Where is the exit door?
The door behind you at the star when you spawn in is the exit door.What does it mean when it says ‘Quota not met!’ when I try to interact with the exit door?
It means that you need to get enough money first by stealing copper from the walls. Once you have gotten to 100 you can leave.The Monster
Why does the monster find me every time I take the copper from the wall?
The monster goes and investigates spots where copper is taken, if you run from the spot before it shows up it wont find you, it just goes to the spot that the copper hole you stole from is located. Once it reaches that spot you stole copper from and sees nothing it will go back to patrolling normally.What do I do if the monster sees me?
Start running and break line of sight as much as possible. This can be done by taking lots of turns. After being out of sight for a few seconds the monster will stop chasing you. Additionally you can use drugs to get away.What does it mean if the monster screams but I cant see it?
It means that the monster has seen you and is now chasing you, try to break line of sight and evade it.When I hide from the monster it still sees me what do I do?
The monster will spot you if any part of you is showing for a prolonged period of time, hide in places where it cant see you at all like behind a wall, hiding behind furniture is not enough to avoid her gaze.Can the monster hear me running or walking?
NoItems and Strategy
The game is really hard are there any tips to make it easier?
The two main optimal playstyles you can try are:- Steal some copper, run and hide before the monster shows up, repeat as needed
- Steal a bunch of copper quickly without caring about being spotted and just keep running as needed (Though your stamina wont last long, so avoid prolonged chases)
Be sure to save stamina for if the monster spots you.
Also be sure to make use of the drugs you find when the monster is chasing you, you can potentially teleport away from it with a purple drug (if youre lucky) or use the zebra drug to move much faster for a short period of time. You can still escape the monster without the drugs but these will help you.
What does the purple drug / Brazilian Shadowport do?
It teleports you to a random room. It is useful to use this while being chased as you will very likely teleport to a room with the monster not in it (Unless you are very unlucky. You can often find these in dead ends.What does the black and white drug / zebra drug do?
It makes your walking speed and sprint speed much faster. It is useful to use this while being chased to go faster, though it will make it much easier to run into things by accident in the cramped facility.
