Stay put · hide · RUN
Official Welcome to the Game III copy frames survival as three options:
- Stay put — when movement would make you easier to find, hold position and listen.
- Hide — use cover and reduce noise or light when cues say an intrusion is close.
- RUN — break contact when holding or hiding is worse than relocating.
- Never assume a permanent safe room exists in ${GAME_NAME}.
