Bacteria

This tall black creature is lurking around level 0, if you hear heavy footsteps, just run as fast as you can.

Skinstealers

Entities that use other peoples skins as camuflages and mimic them to lure you into their trap.

Partygoers

These entities are too smart, fast and dangerous. But they are tiring too fast, you cant outrun them if they are too close, but if they cant catch you for a few seconds, they will just give up.

Smiler

These guys are smiling, and chasing you. Yeah, too scary.

Hounds

This dog like creatures are vulnerable to flashlights.

Cooperate with your friends, explore the levels and use your whistle to find your friends if they lost, but be carefull, entities hear that too!
