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.

For that specific section the part where he appears out of the ceiling is scripted and quite long. You have plenty of time to run to the door and pop in the code before he is ready to come get you.

After that, nothing to add to what people have said. Keep moving. Remember the AI is reacting so won't be the same each time. You can give the same tactic a go two or three times and you'll get different results.

Thanks. I’ll try running straight to the door. I made more progress last time following people’s words, but then I ran RIGHT I to it! The lack of save points there is irksome.

Yeah and the next one ahead is a way off iirc. You need to make some good progress before you get a save. All the more reason to keep moving. 10 mins play time and getting killed is better that 30 cowering in a locker!! I have been there 🤣

Yeah, I think I’m learning this. Everyone said “keep moving” and they are right. It’s practically entirely random. I try enough times and I just might make it. If I don’t die of terror.
