Which enemies can I shoot?
Only the Skinwalker should be shot — and it MUST be shot to eliminate it. Most other enemies (Surgery Tendril, Bed Monster, Stalker, Mass of Eyes) are immune to bullets or become more dangerous when shot. The Camera Figure cannot be shot at all. Check each enemy card for the correct response before engaging.
What's the difference between roaming enemies and window anomalies?
Window anomalies are patients you inspect at the admission window — they fail one of the 4 detection layers and are handled through the reject/report action. Roaming enemies are threats you encounter in hallways, rooms, and via CCTV. They are separate threat categories: anomalies are rejected at the window, enemies must be survived or neutralized in the hospital.
How do I deal with the Bed Monster?
The Bed Monster is an environmental enemy that hides under patient beds. It grabs players who get too close. Do not shoot it — bullets are ineffective. The correct response is to keep distance and avoid its room when possible. In multiplayer, one player can distract it while another treats the patient.
What does the Stalker do?
The Stalker is a roaming enemy that follows players through hallways. It does not attack immediately — it watches and moves closer over time. Prolonged eye contact accelerates its aggression. Break line of sight by entering rooms or using corners, and do not let it corner you. It cannot be shot.
How dangerous is the Skinwalker compared to other enemies?
The Skinwalker is the most dangerous enemy because it bypasses the admission window entirely — it passes visual and photo checks and only reveals itself on CCTV. Unlike other enemies that are obviously hostile, the Skinwalker blends in as a patient. If you miss it at the window and admit it, it becomes a roaming threat inside the hospital.
Can multiple enemies appear at the same time?
Yes, especially on higher shifts (5+). You may have a Stalker in the hallway, a Bed Monster in a patient room, and a Head Banger at the window simultaneously. Prioritize based on immediate threat: Head Bangers (at the window, disrupting admissions) first, then Stalkers (roaming, cornering you), then environmental threats like Bed Monsters.
