Core Survival Principles
Universal rules that apply regardless of your current day or experience level

Never Compromise On

  • Verifying customers via cameras before serving
  • Maintaining power above critical levels
  • Following posted rules precisely
  • Immediate anomaly response protocols
  • Resource monitoring and management

Never Do

  • Serve food to any impostor or anomaly
  • Rush orders without checking ingredients
  • Ignore posted rules or violation warnings
  • Look at prohibited things (inspection, ceiling faces)
  • Neglect power or meat stock management
Scenario Reference
From live runs: jump scares, inspection mistakes, camera confirmations, opening setup.
Fridge creature jumpscare
Inspection violation leading to termination
CCTV + Show Anomaly confirming zombie-like customer
Opening setup: turning on grill and lights
Third Eye Customer - anomaly causing disconnections
Fridge monster growing during disconnection events
Inspector appearance and termination after multiple errors
Case Briefs (from playthroughs)
Key incidents and correct responses.
  • Fridge jumpscare: recover, recheck cams, keep shutters ready.
  • Inspection breach: never look at kiosk/monitor; exit back door with back to stand.
  • CCTV + Show Anomaly: confirm suspicious customers, then close window immediately.
  • Opening setup: lights on, grill on, read rules, keep soda ready, cameras first.
  • Pulsing meat: kill heat, leave area; re-enter after noises stop.
  • "Must-not-serve" customer: close window instantly to avoid banging/screams escalation.
  • Third Eye Customer: customer with unusual growth demanding immediate service causes deliberate disconnections. Do not serve—close window immediately to prevent error accumulation.
  • Fridge Monster Growth: monster in fridge grows more menacing during disconnection events. Avoid opening fridge unnecessarily; close door if visible.
  • Multiple Errors = Inspector: serving anomalous customers accumulates errors. Too many errors triggers inspector and termination: "MÚLTIPLAS ANOMALIAS DETECTADAS, LIMITE ACEITÁVEL EXCEDIDO. FUNCIONÁRIO NEUTRALIZADO."
Shift Opening Checklist
Fast setup to avoid early mistakes.
  • Lights on, grill on; verify power is stable before opening window.
  • Read rules wall once per shift; keep soda ready for smiling customers.
  • Cameras first: scan before opening; shutters ready to close instantly.
  • Prep meat buffer (≥6 pieces) during calm; stage sauces/wraps for speed.
Inspection Protocol
Avoid termination during driverless-car checks.
  • 2 AM driverless car → exit via back door immediately.
  • Keep back to the kiosk; do not look at kiosk or any monitor.
  • Stay out until the scene calms; re-enter cautiously.
  • Any glance at kiosk/monitor can trigger “Unauthorized presence” termination.
Anomaly Response Cheatsheet
Immediate actions for common threats.
  • Pulsing/talking meat → kill heat, leave, re-enter after silence.
  • Faceless customer → serve without eye contact; keep it quick.
  • Smiling customer → give soda, seal bundle under counter (never open).
  • Must-not-serve/hostile signs → close shutters instantly; wait out banging.
  • Suspicious on CCTV → use Show Anomaly if available; if flagged, do not open.
