Light ON and surprise Monster

[Mocarr]

Had lights On, I use brick do brake door to room with map of living quarters, finished looting this room. As soon as i stepped out of it, monster exit hole next to me and kill me.

So the light don't work on him or what???

It seems to me that proper light from the generator makes the monster's random appearances rarer and its patrols shorter. But if you make noise, you should find a hiding place (preferably beforehand) and use it because the monster will come for the noise.

Many very weird decisions with this game. Given the extreme short & basic gameplay, complete lack of appropriate story, basic graphics, etc it seems as though this game was either made in a very short time as a cash grab on the Amnesia name or whatever it was supposed to be was scrapped because of development problems & a very limited version was released just to get a product out the door and money coming in.

Maybe they are having financial problems and this was released to keep afloat.

It's a run game with no run system. No progression, changing maps, alternate scenarios, behavior/modifiers to choose in NG+, etc. The devs heard the feedback that the Fort was everyone's favorite part of Rebirth so they decided to make a standalone game of that level but made it just as short.

Unless there's a bomb drop of a roadmap for post release support, proper documentation for HPL3, a Workshop page and content patches then this game isn't worth more than two playthroughs at 1-3 hours for the first, 1 hour for the second.

From what I have experience so far, having the lights on stops the monster from casually roaming outside the holes. If you make too much noise even with the lights on, he's still going to pop out and say hello


Source: i walked through a grenade trap as soon as I entered the soldier quarters and he came out the lit hole behind me. Later, he was casually roaming the remaining dark zone in the quarters after I dropped some stuff off in admin

I'm going to have to assume that since you dont own the game (no owned icon) and your balls-to-the-wall comment that just sorta rambles into territory the OP wasn't askin about, that you have no idea what you're talkin about

Well i think the only doors you can open with weapon are the ones with lock (like the one in beginning after you get pistol). Others must be break with heavy object or explosive.

BUT still monster appearing in light thing??
Am switching to easy for now.

come on guys.. The monster will randomly appear if lights are shut off. If they're on, he'll appear if you make too much noise. Noticed to hole with smoke coming out and a growl ? If you make noise around that, lights on or off, he'll show up. Having lights is not a monster proof mechanic. Else, it would just be dumb easy. The only doors you should shoot with the revolvers are the ones with the lock.

If ligths are off, monster will come out from hole whenever he wants, just randomly.
If lights are on, monster will still come out, but only if you make too much noise. Also, you can tell monster proximity by lights flickering.
