How to avoid the alien

Depend on the version but I'm going to talk about the hard one and it's possible to port it in the easy mode.

It's all about the tracker, this gadget that you open when you push the space bar. It is important to understand how it work. There is 3 "square" in the bottom, these highlight when the signal come from this side. So change orientation to have it on the full "radar". There is a beep when you don't push space bar and when something get nearer. So when you hear this beep, it's time to look at it and see what is going on. Also there is number that show in meters how far is the beast. This is very important because when this number start to rise a lot, it mean that the alien fuck off. And when the number low down quick, it's the opposite. So it's very important to always use this gadget and remember that according to some indication, the beep beep attract the alien. So if it's too close, and especially if you're hidden in a locker or under a bed or under a desk, close this gadget. I watch from where he is coming, I watch where are the top duct opening, and than I close the thing and hide.

You can hide in a lot of place. I think even darker zone hide well. Of course wall, box and other stuff like beds and all the rest that you can find in this game can hide you well. But the most good way to hide imo is under beds, desk, and in lockers. Still he can find you, but most of the time he don't. For the locker, be ready to push 2 keys if he find you.

Don't run and maybe don't walk. Sound attract it. I did most of the game crawling. Watch out for your flash light too, turn it off. Same goes for flare and gun shot.

This explained, I will give an example of how to pass through 2 rooms:

So the door open and you enter the room, crawling. At the mid distance of the room, you hear a beep. You push space and watch where he is. You aim in the direction of he is according to the "square". If it get nearer, if the number lower quick, you start to search for a good spot to hide. If you have time, try to understand where are the duct. That's where is probably come from but he could also come from the second room. Than when he get very near or when you see it, release space bar and use your eyes by now. So play smart and get around the fucker until he quit because he did not find anything. As soon as he leave in the duct or in another room, push space bar and be sure he left for good, I mean the number is rising a lot. Move to the next room. This is it, that explain it all. Question?

When you find the flame thrower, there is something tricky about it. It's fuel management. Don't use too much fuel. When the alien will deal with fire for the first time you will understand that you don't need a lot of push time to scare him. So just push RMB very shortly in the direction of the alien when he is at about 4 or 5 meters. I think he get use to fire and get stronger. So push more when there. Also, note that the game is a little buggy and if you flame it too near, he will kill you still and sometimes push you on the ground. So I say it again, you need to flame it from a good distance of 5 meters.
