Welcome to the Game 3 Killers Guide

Identify hostile threats through their visual cues and use the correct response before they reach Simon. The guide separates camera-based dangers from threats that appear inside the motel room.

KidnapperWatch the exterior cameras for a van, turn off both lights when it appears, and wait until the vehicle leaves before restoring the lights.
PatrickWatch for a shadow across the desk, remain completely still when Patrick is behind you, and resume work only after the prompt appears.
Camera RoutineThe community threat guide recommends checking cameras several times per minute because some dangers have no reliable sound cue.
No Safe ZoneThreats can force players to stay still, hide, or run, so browsing the dark net never pauses the survival mechanics.
