Questions and answers

How do I avoid being captured by the creature?

Keep the flashlight off when near the creature, break line of sight for at least four seconds, and stay at least twelve meters away to end a chase.

What happens when I get caught?

You restart at the shelter with full stamina; any unbanked tapes return to their original spots, while banked tapes, scraps and unlocked gates stay saved.

How many recordings do I need to finish the game?

Collect and bank all twelve recordings across the four districts, then reach the far gate of the service road.

The camera hiss grows louder as you approach within 25 m, and a distinct double‑click sound signals that the creature has detected you.
