can i get an explanation on how each character works
Ok, first of all Most characters share the same mechanic:
If they are at the crystal (not at the door) you close the door
Now for every char:
Sammy:
- She will appear on the office staring at you. you need to looking away from her until she gets dizzy and leaves.
Poppy:
- A plushie will appear on the top vent with a bomb you just keep space to deactivate the bomb
Nile:
- If you look at her through a camera an exclamation will show on her head with an audio cue and then a heart will start filling over her head. DO NOT change camera or put away camera until heart is filled or she will destroy that camera.
-If you change the camera while the heart has not yet appeared she will not destroy the camera, so if you are fast you can change camera and avoid it being destroyed, althrough I recommend to try to look at her since it will take some time until she demands attention again.
Misty:
- Misty is sleeping on her room at the hallway left to you (you can see the door to her room in the cameras). She will wake up and attack you if you make too much noise (spam plushie too much). Another thing is that the door to her room will sometimes open which will make her way more sensible to noise, check the hallway and close the door to her room if open.
Ari:
- Ari will take a peek through the right door from time to time to check on your sanity and if it is too low she will kill you (do not confuse with her standing at crystal that do not care about sanity). Note that when she peeks you will NOT be able to close right door and when she leaves the door will stay open (but other characters can NOT kill you by being at the crystal while she check on your sanity, but will if you leave door open after she leaves so pay attention to where she goes away)
Maddie:
- Maddie is a special char that can't kill you by herself but her job is to pretty much annoy you. She will appear in a camera and pretty much block it, since you would not be able to repair anything through that camera (oddly Nile will still trigger even if Maddie is blocking camera so keep an eye for the sound of her alert).
- She will also from time to time decide to check on you and keep a door of your office open. She will NOT block other chars from killing you through that door like Ari so try to get her to move away as fast as you can.
- to make her move away you will need to interact with the microwave in the top left camera. This will make her move away instantly from either the door or camera she is, althrough I do not recommend doing so to move her from a camera unless it is urgent to repair whatever is broken there, since you can use the microwave a limited number of times only.
Blood Moon Ari:
- Now she will only appear on level 12 and will replace Ari.
- she will spawn on the left hallway camera always.
- She will slowly start moving to the office, but will only do so while you are not watching her through the cameras. If she reaches the office it is game over, since no door will stop her
