Updated 2026-06-02
Navigating the Early Levels (0–3)
Levels 0 to 3 are tutorial-like. The Lobby (Level 0) is a straight grid. Go right, then straight, then left. Level 1 is darker. Follow the lights. Level 2 is narrow and claustrophobic. Keep your flashlight on. Level 3 has electrical hazards. Watch the floor.
Mid Levels (4–7)
- Level 4 (Library) — Follow the red carpet. It leads to the exit.
- Level 5 (Hotel) — Check every room. The exit is behind a specific painting.
- Level 6 (Sewers) — Stay on the raised platforms. The water is electrified.
- Level 7 (Poolrooms) — Swim through the blue rooms. Look for the dry exit.
Late Levels (8–10)
Level 8 (Subway) is brutal. Use the train cars as cover. Do not stay in the tunnels too long. Level 9 (School) is quiet but has ambush entities in lockers. Level 10 (Windmills) is all about patience and hiding.
Every level has at least one safe room. Learn their locations. You can catch your breath there.
