how to escape from the dark? *spoilers*

[DeadJericho]

in was in the security room and the lights went out
i tried to retrace my steps loads of times and just died each time.

whats the correct order?

i tried - back, right, left, left, back, right, left, back. died
i tried - back, right, left, left, back, left, right, back. died.

[DeadJericho]

this makes no sense.
i went the exact opposite of the directions i used to get to the office but the gnome always kills me at the last step

[DeadJericho]

ive died so many times now i cant count.
this absolutely sucks.
theres no logic to where youve got to go.
cant look at inventory. cant see anything.

worst 'puzzle' i can remember doing in any game.

Are you still stuck here? If so - the text gives hints but if you hear the Gnomes you are heading in the wrong direction. Retracing your steps is not going lead you out of the area.

i dont know how i managed to get out.

i didnt follow the sound.

i used where the glowing red eyes appeared on screen to guide me. i basically went in the opposite direction of where they were.

i died a few times, but made it out.

i went opposite of where the eyes were. I got out on my first try :/ might have been luck
