Use visible treatment tools to support reads, movement plans, and team calls instead of guessing hidden item stats.
Use visible tools as anchors for a safe route. Item play is strongest when a current observation matches the live hazard instead of being generalized to every threat.
Coffee is useful when planned before sanity pressure spikes. Speed cola helps movement, but stacking it can turn a faster route into a sanity problem.
Single-use items are weaker than upgrades that improve repeated shifts. Faster movement or another intake window can help the whole team when the route is already under control.
| Item or upgrade | Use it for | Avoid this mistake |
|---|---|---|
| Bandage | Small wall-shadow treatment before contact | Walking up without the item |
| Unclear fire signal | Step back and preserve the exit | Forcing a remembered response onto an unclear room |
| Taser | Only a threat response you can confirm in live play | Generalizing one observation to every chase |
| Coffee | Planned sanity recovery before a risky interaction | Waiting until panic movement has already started |
| Eye drops | Only a live candle interaction you can verify | Claiming an exact sanity effect without proof |
| Camera | Normal-looking patients that distort on feeds | Staring too long after a jump scare cue |
| Quick speed or extra intake upgrade | Team-wide shift speed and patient flow | Buying random single items before route upgrades |
Read the quick board first, follow the step list, and use related links when you need anomaly, sanity, item, or route context.
No code strings are listed for players to try right now. The codes page gives a fast in-game code route instead.
Trust what you can see in the live game: patient behavior, the photo, camera feeds, store menus, and the room route in front of you.
No. This guide focuses on visible patient behavior, room reads, and safe retreat choices instead of pretending every anomaly effect is known.
Move through the hospital slowly, treat patients only after reading behavior, keep exits in mind, and reset your route when a patient acts wrong.
