I would imagine they will disappear as they're scripted to just act as "cinematic hallucinations". Meanwhile those guys that spawn to patrol (like the ones in the Storage or Prison) will probably stay around for much longer. Although, it remains to be seen. I hope I'm in for a surprise!

What happens if there are multiple monster spawns? Take Choir for example, there are 6 monster spawns in a rather small area. Is there going to be one monster patrolling the whole area? Maybe 6 monsters at the same time? I am not quite sure, but I guess we will find soon enough! Also, apparently this mode was mainly made by one new recruit, which is quite amazing!

I reckon the Choir is going to be the hardest area to beat. Especially if the monsters are now faster and can see you more easily... it's going to be hard alright. Gotta be sure to save before that. haha

- Scavenge. If you do, you'll have loads of Oil and Laudanum. I had 9 jars of Oil at the end of my run and 10 laudanum.
- Tinderboxes are much rarer. I did a lot of scavenging and barely had any at the end, but I did save at the following locations: Back Hall, Prison South, Cistern Entrance, Before entering Morgue, Nave and after beating the Choir.
- Can confirm that there are no new monster spawns and hallucinations are exactly the same. Although there was one encounter in the Sewer which couldn't harm me, but scared me as I had never seen it before.
- Enemies hang around for roughly 1-2 minutes longer.
- Storage and Sewer were the toughest for me. Choir was very easy using the above discussed method. Prison North was surprisingly easy. I only triggered 3 spawns.
- If you die, it takes you back to your last save. So it's not a big deal if you die.

• Tinderboxes are really rare, try to look for them as much as you can. I had 0 when I finished the game. Other resources are much more common.
  
• Sanity isn't much of a problem, just be careful at the end of the game. As I said in a previous post, you lose all sanity if you do the ritual too quickly and you will die. Kinda funny I said that, since I died there and that was my only death.
  

• If you know the monster spawns and where the resources are, you won't have that much of a problem beating it. It's not really that hard if you played Amnesia a lot before.
