How to unlock: Survive your first Hunt

Difficulty: Easy

The Hunt is the game's set-piece: the lights cut out, the music turns, and the Entity comes looking for you. Still Breathing asks only that you're alive when it ends — you don't have to kill anything, hide perfectly, or finish the shift.

  • Vents are the reliable answer. The Hunt is a timed phase, not a fight. Getting into a vent and staying there until the music drops is the lowest-risk clear on your first attempt.
  • Don't try to fight it early. Killing the Entity fast is a separate skill check (Relentless), and attempting it before you have traps unlocked is the most common way new players fail this one.
  • Survive the whole phase. Play it out cleanly rather than counting on a mid-Hunt revive.

Most players unlock this on the same night the first Hunt triggers, usually right after First Blood.
