Common Mistakes to Avoid
Ignoring Maintenance
Neglecting to clean or maintain equipment leads to negative events and anomaly triggers.
Poor Power Management
Running out of power triggers emergencies. Monitor levels constantly and conserve when possible.
Serving Anomalies
The worst mistake. Always verify customers are human before serving. Use cameras first.
Screenshot Tips
From live runs: pulsing meat, faceless customer, inspection car, and “Unauthorized presence” termination.




Actionable Checklist (from playthroughs)
- Cameras first, always. If distorted (faceless/white eyes/extra limbs), do NOT open.
- Smiling customer → hand soda → seal bundle under counter. Do not open bundle.
- Pulsing or talking meat → kill heat, leave immediately, re-enter after quiet.
- Faceless customer → serve without eye contact; finish quickly.
- “Must not serve” customers → close window instantly; banging/screams will fade.
- 2 AM inspection → back door exit, back to kiosk, never look at kiosk or monitors.
- Keep power above critical; cut meat during calm; maintain at least 6 meat pieces ready.
- Expect jump scares (fridge/door). Recover, recheck cams, keep shutters ready.
