ORIENT
Read the nest before moving
Use the opening view from above to identify a first direction and remember the green EXIT marker.
WATCH FOR: Do not treat any specific spawn or hallway as permanent; the game is pre-alpha.BEGINNER ESCAPE GUIDE · PRE-ALPHA

The five-step escape plan.
This is the part to keep open during your first run. The objective order is verified; exact item locations are intentionally not written as permanent facts.
MATCH
Place the red, yellow, and blue cubes
Carry each large cube to the area with the same color. Move one cube at a time and reset your route between carries.
WATCH FOR: A cube in hand is not progress until it reaches its matching color area.TOOL
Take the wire cutters
Completing the color stage leads to the wire cutters. Use them to progress through the next blocked part of the route.
WATCH FOR: Do not search for a permanent tool room; exact placement may change with updates.APPROACH
THREATSecure the Locust’s keycard
The Locust carries the card needed for the final escape. Plan an approach and a separate retreat path before closing distance.
WATCH FOR: This is a threat encounter, not a fixed room pickup. Leave immediately after getting the card.ESCAPE
EXITReturn to the green EXIT
Stop searching once the chain is complete. Take your safest known route back and use the keycard at the marked exit door.
WATCH FOR: Remember the EXIT before the chase starts; wandering with the card wastes a good run.CORE GAMEPLAY LOOP
One item. One safe reset. Then advance.
The useful rhythm is not constant sprinting. It is short cycles of information, movement, escape, and progress.
- 01
Scout
Find the next objective and a return route before committing.
- 02
Move one item
Carry one cube cleanly instead of juggling the whole set.
- 03
Break sight
Use a known corner or divider; temporary height is not guaranteed safety.
- 04
Reset or unlock
Return to a calm route, then advance the objective chain.
MEMORY RULEMove one objective. Break sight. Reset the route.
ADVANCED ROUTE
Stop reacting. Start routing.
Read the room before you drop
The run begins from above. Use that opening view to choose a first direction instead of landing blind.
Make every carry a round trip
Know where you will retreat before touching a cube or approaching the Locust for the keycard.
Treat high ground as temporary
Raised edges and dividers can create space in the current build, but pre-alpha behavior can change.
Split jobs, share the exit
Current playthroughs show players scouting and carrying together. Regroup before the final door.
