Flashlight management
TipsThe flashlight is toggled with the right mouse button. It lights up the area around you, which you need to read the environment and find interactable objects. A bright light also makes you more visible, so it is not always smart to keep it on.
- Turn the flashlight on whenever a room is too dark to see objects or doorways clearly.
- Keep an eye on battery level; when it runs out, find a replacement battery inside the room or look for another light source.
- Toggling the light off before hiding gives you an extra layer of concealment during dangerous moments.
Surviving a threat
CheckThe game signals threats through sound and atmosphere. The moment you sense something approaching, you have a short window to decide on your response.
- Listen for audio cues approaching sounds mean you need to act now.
- Sprint away with Left Shift or crawl with Left Control to stay low and out of sight.
- Turn off your flashlight before you hide so the light does not give away your position.
