Quick Answer
What the Official Description Confirms
- Relentless: The entity is described as something that never stops pursuing you.
- Merciless: It feels no mercy, implying direct confrontation is not the intended solution.
- Singular threat: Only one enemy type has been confirmed from official sources. Additional monsters, if any, will be added after verification.
Survival Tactics
- Move slowly and crouch-walk in areas where the entity is active to reduce noise.
- Watch patrol patterns for at least one full cycle before crossing open areas.
- Use doors, lockers, and furniture to break line of sight if detected.
- Save often before entering new rooms or starting noisy interactions.
- Plan escape routes before engaging with puzzles that require standing still.
Body Camera Considerations
The body camera limits your field of view and can make it harder to spot the entity in peripheral areas. Use the camera angle deliberately: sweep rooms before entering, and avoid tunnel vision during chase sequences. Remember that the entity may be outside the camera frame even when it is close.
Common Questions
Can the entity be killed?
There is no official indication that the entity can be killed. Stealth and evasion appear to be the intended mechanics.
Does light attract it?
Specific sensitivity to light or sound has not been confirmed. We are testing these triggers and will update this page with verified behavior.
Are there multiple enemy types?
Only one enemy has been confirmed from the official Steam description. We will not add additional monster pages until they are verified in the full release.
