Beginner Guide

Essential setup, early resource habits, and first anomaly recognition to survive your initial shifts.

Beginner
First Shift Survival
Memorize the basic recipe and layout. Cameras first before opening; keep shutters ready. Early jump scares can come from the fridge—recover fast and recheck cams.
Beginner
Resource Management 101
Keep power above 60%. Maintain a buffer of ≥6 meat pieces; cut during lulls. Stage wraps/sauces for speed and stability.
Beginner
Identifying Your First Anomaly
Watch for distorted proportions, white eyes, extra limbs, unnatural speech. If a customer distorts or screams, slam shutters immediately—do not try to serve.
