If you're familiar with Five Nights at Freddy’s, you'll easily grasp the gameplay mechanics. If you know Pressure, you'll recognize the monsters and know how to combat them. Here's a detailed guide to help you survive each night.

First Night Walkthrough

You start in a camera control room with surveillance footage in front of you and two doors behind you that can be opened and closed. Remember, closing the doors drains your power, and once it's gone, it's game over. The only ways to fend off monsters are by flashing them or closing the doors, both of which require power.

Your primary task over all three nights is to monitor the cameras, particularly the top one. Sebastian should always be visible there; if he leaves, he'll quickly reach you and end your game. Regularly check the cameras for anomalies and periodically turn around to check the doors. Sounds are clearer when not in camera mode, helping you anticipate threats.

When you notice the lights flickering, typically around 2 AM on the first night, turn around and close the doors. You'll soon hear Angler charging down the hall. Around this time, Painter will send pop-ups on your camera screen, which you can close and ignore as they're meant to distract you.

We recommend turning around every 10 seconds or whenever you hear unusual noises. Continuously browse the camera footage and flash when you suspect Sebastian's presence. If he's not at the top camera, quickly check cameras 1 and 2 to prevent his advance. Follow these tips, and you'll reach 6 AM, marking the end of your first shift.

Until 1 AM on the second night, you won't encounter any monsters. Continue checking the cameras and flash if you see anything unusual. When you hear strange noises, turn around and close the doors; the first Angler attack occurs at 2 AM, just like on the first night.

The camera footage will appear dimmer around this time, and the image quality will worsen. Cycle through all cameras frequently, focusing on those marked 1 and 2, and don't forget to turn around.

A new monster, Crooked, appears tonight. Defend against him by noticing when he's at your doors and closing them briefly. Pay closer attention to the cameras due to increased static and more frequent pop-ups.

Just before the shift ends at 5 AM, expect two Angler attacks, one on each side. The final hour of the night is the most challenging part of your playthrough. Stay vigilant and avoid distractions.

Third Night Walkthrough

The third night is significantly tougher than the previous two. Sebastian escapes the top camera mere seconds after your shift starts, followed by an Angler attack 30 seconds later. Forget your old strategies except for checking cameras and turning around.

When the first Angler attack happens, keep the door closed for a while before reopening it. The monsters are now faster and stronger, making it harder to react in time. Unlike the previous nights where the first attack was around 2 AM, tonight you'll face four attacks.

After two door attacks around 3 AM, the night becomes even more challenging. You'll need to keep the doors closed more often while monitoring your power levels. The hours between 4 AM and 5 AM are the most demanding, requiring you to balance flashing Sebastian and conserving power. Our advice is to save power at all costs, even if it means not flashing Sebastian when he's at cameras A1, B1, or C1.

A reassuring note: if you fail on the third night (or the second), you can restart from the beginning of that night. Once you successfully survive all three nights, you'll complete the event and earn the Connection Terminated badge.
