Help! This game is too sick!

Hi and welcome to these forums!

I realize these sort of games aren't meant to make you go poke the internet for advice, but man this isn't happening without a bit of help, and I refuse to lose.

Remember, this game shouldn't be played to win

Just move forward and listen to the sounds. The music will tell you if there is a monster around. Most of the time you will want to sit by a corner and wait for it to vanish. In some cases you will have to slip past it.
Oh, and do not let it see you: it can run much faster than you probably expect.

EDIT: You can watch this video (but NOT the others!) that illustrates what you should do during an encounter. Don't worry, the sequence in this one doesn't appear in The Dark Descent so there is no spoiler.
