Survival Strategy Guide

Managing Light Cycles and Monster Spawns

The hospital alternates between lit and dark states. When lights are on, explore freely—search rooms for keys to unlock doors blocking your path to the exit. Move purposefully between locations.

When the lights cut out, monsters immediately spawn from ventilation shafts. Stop moving and find a hiding spot in the current room. Stay hidden and silent until power restores and creatures despawn.

Once lights return, you have a brief window to run to the next safe area before darkness falls again. Prioritize reaching new rooms with hiding spots rather than lingering in open corridors. Map out key locations mentally so you can navigate quickly during lit phases. Success depends on balancing exploration during safe periods with quick reactions when darkness arrives.
