So what am I supposed to do now? (3:00am)

[CalKubo]

OK, so I was having a rough time with 2:00am, particularly with the teleporting kid (Tom?), he appeared in front on me when I was running resulting in instant game over. Stopped running that much but every time he appeared, I looked away only for him to now appear behind me and losing again. Stopped looking the other way and now just looked directly down, which worked everytime... except when they combo me to death. I was in a "snoring area" so I dropped the candel, then Tom appears so I decide not to risk it and stay still, THEN the girl appears and kills me because I didn't move! 3v1! Now, this only happened like 3 times (out of like 10), so I suppose it's not that frequent and managed to finish the day.

So now I'm trying to survive 3:00 am, but it seems that Tom and the digging kid ALWAYS come in pair. If Tom appears and I don't move the other kid gets me. If I try to look the other way in order to run he appears over there as well. If I try to run while looking down I bump into them anyway. And again, this has happened in. Every. Single. Night. I don't even know what the digging is supposed to sound like since I'm always hearing the Tom music. Good thing they have appeared at the beginning because if they pull that ♥♥♥♥ when it's about to end I'd be really pissed

What gives?

Well, to be honest it can be up to luck. One time I was playing 3am and I didn't see Caleb (the digging one) at all to the point where I was afraid he disappeared lol.

The only things I can tell you are to listen for Caleb's digging and hissing noises and run from that. As long as you keep as far away from him, you can have time to stay still to avoid Tom. Tips to avoid Tom:

When he slides into view, look directly above you. It's the fastest way to get rid of him but only when he slides in, I'm pretty sure.

Sometimes, when he spawns while you're moving, and he's keeping with your pace at the side of your vision, I found that you don't even have to stop, just keep running forward, try not to turn hard. He'll go away eventually. Sorry if this doesn't make sense, it's hard to explain.

That's all I got for now, I hope you've gotten it, if not already.

My problem with Caleb/Tom was that I couldn't hear Caleb. All I can hear is Tom's music plus his "grudge" noises, so Caleb would just kill me suddenly.

Also, now I'm 100% sure this is luck based. Just tried it again right now and finished the hour. And the funny thing is, Caleb didn't appear a SINGLE time. It was Tom all night long (and Tim appeared once) and he dissappeared real quick even when I was out of matches, and never as a pair (which had happened every single time on the past tries).

People should make a sticky or mention this in a guide since you'll be wondering just what you're doing wrong or if the game is broken. Basically, you'll win if the game wants you to (no pairs/trios attacks, plenty of candles near you, no spawning in the cottage/bus. etc). If it doesn't feel like it, well, better luck next time.

Though one thing I still don't get about Tom is why he kills you many times even if you're not looking at him and he clearly didn't spawn in front of you either. Earlier I decided to watch some playthroughs on YT out of frustation and noticed this happened to other people as well. They just went WTF just happened.

Caleb is special in that he is always slowly chasing you (digging underground) so there's a chance you may never see him. So it's best not to stick around in one area too long http://wick.wikia.com/wiki/Caleb

Well, here I am on 3:00am and I still die because of Tom doing his special move when rising from the ground.
