Blacksite Pressure Guide: Three Nights of April Fools

When you think of an April Fools game update, you typically anticipate light-hearted pranks and amusing tweaks to the gameplay. However, the developers of *Pressure* took a darker turn with their new game mode, *Three Nights at the Blacksite*, inspired by *Five Nights at Freddy's*. This mode is anything but humorous, delivering a tense and thrilling experience. Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to survive all three nights in *Three Nights at the Blacksite*.

How to Survive in Three Nights at the Blacksite Pressure

First Night Walkthrough

Screenshot by The Escapist. 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 consumes power, and running out means game over. Your main defenses against the monsters are flashing them or closing the doors, both of which require power.

Your primary task across all nights is to monitor the cameras, particularly the top one, where Sebastian should remain. If he leaves, he'll quickly reach you and end your game. Regularly check the cameras for anomalies and turn around to check the doors. Sounds are clearer when not in camera mode, helping you anticipate threats.

You'll also encounter pop-ups from Painter on the camera screen, which you can close and ignore as they're meant to distract you.

We recommend turning around every 10 seconds or when you hear unusual noises. Continue monitoring the camera footage and flash if you suspect Sebastian's presence. If he's not at the top camera, quickly check cameras 1 and 2 to prevent him from advancing. Follow these tips, and you'll make it to 6 AM, the end of your shift.

Second Night Walkthrough

The camera footage becomes noticeably dimmer around this time, making it harder to monitor. Cycle through all cameras frequently, especially those marked 1 and 2, and remember to turn around regularly.

A new monster, Crooked, appears tonight. Defend against him by noticing when he's at your doors and closing them briefly. Pay closer attention to the cameras due to increased static and more frequent pop-ups, which you should close quickly.

Just before the end of the shift at 5 AM, prepare for two Angler attacks, one on each side. The last hour is the most challenging part of your playthrough. Stay vigilant and avoid distractions.

Third Night Walkthrough

Forget your strategies from the past two nights; 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 now faster and stronger, 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 night becomes even more challenging. You'll need to keep the doors closed more often, but monitor your power levels closely. The hours between 4 AM and 5 AM are the most demanding, requiring you to balance flashing Sebastian and conserving power. Our advice is to save power at all costs, even if it means not flashing Sebastian when he's at cameras A1, B1, or C1.
