Cue: Watch the clocks and the path ahead. Launch-day guides report a stampede when the displayed number reaches 5 or 9.
Counter: Step out of the traffic line or use cover before the crowd crosses; do not try to race through the center.
Cue: Listen for crackling and a fast approach. The sound matters more than keeping the entity in view.
Counter: Break line of travel immediately and use a hiding position or solid cover.
Cue: A ransom-style interruption appears over the inventory and blocks normal flow.
Counter: Read the demand, pay deliberately, and keep enough Gold in reserve when planning sector skips.
Cue: A flower station and a repeated room sequence signal the memory check.
Counter: Memorize the six-flower arrangement. Go forward if it is unchanged; go back if something changed.
Cue: A service-counter setup, numbered ticket, and visible countdown establish the puzzle.
Counter: Track the active ticket and finish the requested queue action before the countdown expires.
Cue: Distortion and scribble-like visual interference build over the display.
Counter: Use a hiding place and let the effect clear instead of pushing through with reduced visibility.
Cue: A distinct Alma sequence interrupts ordinary room navigation and demands deliberate camera control.
Counter: Avoid holding your view on Alma. Keep the camera controlled and follow the room’s immediate exit cues.
Cue: Electrical activity, exposed power equipment, and water on the route signal the hazard.
Counter: Read the dry path before moving and avoid stepping into electrified water.
Cue: A fish encounter and available fish food replace the usual chase or hiding language.
Counter: Approach calmly and use fish food when the interaction is available.
Cue: An office or elevator transition leads away from the normal corridor cadence.
Counter: Treat the sequence as a one-run objective: inspect the room and finish its interactions before taking the exit.
Cue: A dark moving presence follows through the landing sequence.
Counter: Look toward Creak to force it back, but do not keep a light trained on it for too long.
Cue: Static-like pressure and a movement-sensitive sequence interrupt the landing climb.
Counter: Stop moving when the danger escalates; resume only after the cue releases.
