this might not look terrifying but believe me, it is

this isn't in the game but if this sends the feel good signal to your brain, you need this game
tips: best tip I can give anyone is wind the flashlight once and see if the monster reacts. if not, wind it up once more as any more than 2 is excessive and invites the monster in to your location
