The idea is that the warning indicators give you enough time to outrun it if you sprint away fast enough, I have managed to do so a fair amount of time but it's quite imbalanced as I didn't have time to fix it sadly, there is a large chance you die when it sees you but I guess the positive of that is you feel very big brain when you avoid it lol, also I was meant to mention in the how to play that the monster cannot roam rooms (although he can enter them) making them the perfect hiding places from him.
