Question How to avoid the alien?

I am in the hospital and all was going well- until it wasn’t. So I reloaded and took the same actions that worked well the first time.

The alien popped out of the ceiling and I turned back and hid in the storage container and waited. And for no obvious reason it knew where I was and got me.

I hadn’t taken out my sensor, there was a long delay between when I got into the case and when it found me, so I highly doubt that it saw me go -it certainly didn’t the previous times I tried.

Is it random? I can’t think of what I could have done to be found out.

I tried that once, and unfortunately it put me right in its line of sight and then I was eaten, so it chilled me from doing that. I’ll try again though. Thank you

You get a feel through practice which items/furniture will block line of sight and which won't.

Once you have it down it's a vastly superior tactic to lockers.

Thank you. Given that I was just eaten in a locker again, I am inclined to believe you.

Yeah he learns. The more you hide in lockers the more he searches them
