If you're a fan of Five Nights at Freddy's, you'll quickly grasp the gameplay mechanics. For Pressure aficionados, you'll recognize the monsters and know how to tackle them. Below is your detailed guide to surviving each night.

First Night Walkthrough

You start in a camera control room, monitoring surveillance footage. Behind you are two doors that can be opened and closed, but be aware—closing them drains your power, and running out means game over. Your defenses against the monsters are flashing them or closing the doors, both of which require power.

Your main task across all three nights is to check the cameras, particularly the top one. Sebastian must remain visible on the top camera; if he leaves, he'll reach you quickly and end your game. Regularly check the cameras for anomalies and turn around to monitor the doors. The sound is clearer when not in camera mode, helping you anticipate threats.

When you see the lights flickering around 2 AM, turn and close the doors to brace for Angler's imminent charge. Around this time, Painter's pop-ups will appear on your camera screen; you can close and ignore them as they're designed to distract you.

We recommend turning around every 10 seconds or whenever you hear unusual noises. Keep browsing the camera footage and flash when you suspect Sebastian is moving. If he's not at the top camera, quickly check cameras 1 and 2 to prevent his advance. Follow these tips, and you'll make it to 6 AM, ending your first shift.

Second Night Walkthrough

By 1 AM on the second night, you won't face immediate threats. Continue checking the cameras and flash if anything seems off. When you hear strange sounds, turn and close the doors; the first Angler attack strikes at 2 AM, similar to the first night.

The camera footage will become noticeably dimmer. With reduced visibility, cycle through all cameras frequently, especially 1 and 2, and don't forget to turn around periodically.

Crooked, a new monster, appears tonight. Defend against him by closing the doors when he's spotted at them. Pay closer attention to the cameras due to increased static and more frequent pop-ups, which you should close swiftly.

Just before the shift ends at 5 AM, brace for two Angler attacks, one on each side. The last hour requires maximum vigilance and focus to avoid distractions.

Third Night Walkthrough

The third night is markedly tougher. Sebastian escapes the top camera within seconds of starting, followed by an Angler attack 30 seconds later. Forget previous strategies except for checking cameras and turning around.

When the first Angler attack occurs, keep the door closed for a while before reopening. The monsters are faster and more aggressive, making reactions challenging on your first attempt. Unlike the previous nights with attacks starting around 2 AM, tonight you'll face four.

After the two door attacks around 3 AM, the challenge intensifies. You'll need to keep the doors closed more often, but monitor your power levels closely. The final two hours from 4 AM to 5 AM are the toughest, requiring you to balance flashing Sebastian and conserving power. Our advice? Save power at all costs, even if it means not flashing Sebastian when he's at cameras A1, B1, or C1.

If you fail on the third (or second) night, you can restart from the beginning of that night. Successfully surviving all three nights completes the event and earns you the Connection Terminated badge.
