Running alert presence?

[Black Snake]

Does anybody know if running makes the monster appear more? I wanna redo chapters but the walking in the game is PAINFULLY slow. Make it much more enjoyable if I could just sprint around the map.

Supposedly. I've found when replaying levels that I actually get fewer Presence interactions when running just based on saving time, though!

After some play testing I couldn't tell for sure or not if running actually did result in more QTE's. I noticed a bit more Jump Scare style things like tvs/radios turning on but because I was running I wouldn't notice them.

It actually plays more as a comedic game when you know the layout of the rooms and puzzles. I feel like the ghost is in the house trying so hard to be spooky only for me to sprint right past and pick up the items before sprinting out of the room. poor ghost.

I'm sure it's purely time based. Run away.

By the way don't forget to play as high-stealth characters.

It does...

At first chapter use the last survivor, with the radio.

When the radio buzz, you can trigger the Presence event if you run around in circles. If you walk, it takes much more time.

Well, it does and it doesn't. From my own experience, running does indeed make more noise and increase the chances of jump scares and QTEs, but if you know where you're going, you'll complete episodes so much faster, you'll still cut down on the number of QTEs you'll go through quite significantly.

Btw, since there are few jump scares implemented in Episode 5 as of now, running in that episode does increase the number of all Presence QTEs (Door, Darkness, Silence and Requiem, I had them all in one playthrough once).

Hi everyone!

Indeed, it's intentional. Running increases the probability that The Presence appears, but it also depends on time 😉
