If you've played Five Nights at Freddy’s, you'll quickly grasp the gameplay mechanics. For Pressure veterans, you'll recognize the monsters and how to fend them off. Here's how to make it through each night.
First Night Walkthrough

You start in a camera control room with surveillance footage in front of you and two doors behind you that you can open and close. Remember, closing the doors drains your power, and running out means game over. Your only defenses against the monsters are to flash them or close the doors, both of which require power.
Your main task throughout the nights is to monitor the cameras, especially the top one where Sebastian must remain. If he leaves, he'll quickly reach you and it's game over. Regularly check the cameras for anomalies and turn around to monitor the doors. Sounds are more distinct outside of camera mode, helping you anticipate threats.

When the lights flicker around 2 AM on Night 1, turn around and close the doors to protect yourself from Angler, who will soon charge down the hall. You'll also encounter your first pop-ups from Painter on the camera screen; these can be closed and ignored as they're meant to distract you.
Our advice is to turn around every 10 seconds or when you hear unusual noises. Continue scanning the camera footage and flash if you suspect Sebastian's presence. If he's not on the top camera, quickly check cameras 1 and 2 to prevent his advance. Follow these tips, and you'll make it to 6 AM, ending your shift successfully.

On Night 2, you'll start without immediate monster encounters until around 1 AM. Keep monitoring the cameras and flash if something seems off. When you hear strange noises, turn around and close the doors; the first Angler attack comes at 2 AM, similar to Night 1.
The camera footage becomes dimmer around this time, making it harder to see. Frequently cycle through all cameras, especially those marked 1 and 2, and remember to turn around.
Crooked, a new monster, appears tonight. You'll spot him at your doors and need to close them briefly to fend him off. Pay closer attention to the cameras as the footage now includes more static. Pop-ups become more frequent, so close them quickly.
Just before the shift ends at 5 AM, you'll face two Angler attacks, one on each side. The final hour requires heightened vigilance and focus to avoid distractions.

Night 3 ramps up the difficulty significantly. Sebastian escapes the top camera almost immediately, followed by an Angler attack just 30 seconds later. Focus solely on checking the cameras and turning around.
After the first Angler attack, keep the door closed for a while before reopening it. The monsters are faster and more aggressive, making quick reactions essential. Unlike the previous nights where the first attack was around 2 AM, you'll face four attacks tonight.
After two door attacks around 3 AM, the challenge intensifies. You'll need to keep the doors closed more often but must manage your power levels carefully. The hours between 4 AM and 5 AM are the most intense, requiring you to balance flashing Sebastian with conserving power. Our tip: save power at all costs, even if it means not flashing Sebastian if he's at cameras A1, B1, or C1.

If you fail on Night 3 (or Night 2), you can restart from the beginning of the night. Successfully surviving all three nights completes the event, earning you the Connection Terminated badge.
