Configuring Controls and Audio for Chases

Surviving a dark horror map requires fast reactions when fleeing down narrow corridors and sharp awareness when exploring quiet basement levels. Tweaking a few vanilla control and audio settings prevents clumsy mistakes when you need to run and hide.

Streamlining Movement Keybinds

Getting snagged on red chairs, vending machines, or cubicle walls during a chase can trap you in a hallway.

1. Open Options > Controls > Key Binds and bind Sprint to an easy-to-reach key (such as Left Ctrl or a side mouse button) instead of relying on double-tapping W, which often stalls after bumping into furniture.

2. In Options > Controls, set Auto-Jump to Off so your character does not unexpectedly hop onto scattered decor or chairs while turning corners in tight office rooms.

3. Choose whether Sneak is set to Hold or Toggle so you can crouch smoothly while hiding in the shadows.

Tuning Audio and Subtitles

When small light sources barely illuminate the end of a long room, sound helps fill in what you cannot see.

1. Open Options > Music & Sounds and lower Music while keeping Master Volume, Hostile Creatures, and Players clearly audible.

2. Open Options > Accessibility Settings and switch Show Subtitles to On if you want visual directional arrows on screen whenever footsteps, doors, or movement echo through the dark facility.
