Help! This game is too sick!

How do you sustain enough oil?!

By not using the lantern all the time of course! The light helps you see and sustain sanity, but it also makes it easier for the monsters to spot you. So only use the lantern when you really need to.

As for the enemies, just advance carefully and hide as soon as you hear one and you should be fine. Crouching helps avoid detection and don't run, unless it has spotted you (trust me, you'll notice when that's the case! ). If it is chasing you, get a closed door inbetween you and the creature as quick as possible, since it runs faster than you and then hide somewhere in the room before it bashes the door in.

Last but not least - If the fear becomes overwhelming, don't forget: The game isn't as difficult as it appears to be. You'll think you're about to die far more often than you'll actually die. Just don't watch walkthroughs and spoil yourself on where the really dangerous parts are and where it's just for show
