The Boogies decision #11
Comments (29)
I'm looking at this.... and I realized that we're heading STRAIGHT into a GAME OVER because of one major flaw with everyone shrieking to dash past. Sure we might be able to get out of our sight but everyone forgot one important note. OUR FOOTSTEPS! THEY CAN HEAR OUR FOOTSTEPS!
You'll find out tomorrow whether ruin will befall us. You will either rise to heaven, or sink to hell.
I don’t think we should turn back. If I’m not mistaken, the right screen shows the big guy on the bottom left, and he is going in a counter clockwise rotation. Unless he goes back down the initial hallway we started at, he will round the corner as we go back and grab us before we hit the vent. This is all a major guess so don’t hunt me down if I’m wrong
Based on the map, backing out means walking right into the camera Boogey's line of sight. The suit makes us faster than the Boobies, so ONE answer is the right one. This can't be a 'damned if you do, damned if you don't situation. Besides, Camera has wheels, and batteries. He can likely charge up those wheels and out speed us based despite the suit. At least once the Boobies lose sight of us, that means the hive has to try and find her again.
I get the concern with the whole "if one sees, they all see" thing, but the booby approaching us hasn't seen anything. It's not transmitted any alerts to other boobies, there's literally another one right there in the room just floating still, so that tells me there's a good chance big guy back there doesn't know we're here either. This booby is just coming over to investigate. My logic is, if we try to make a break for it, we'll just be in more danger because the floor's noisy. It could even alert the other currently pacified Booby, so then we'd be dealing with two of them looking for us instead of just one. As the monitor shows, the big guy back there is still yet to reach our line of sight so we can still double back to the vent and come up with another plan. Maybe the investigating booby will no longer be able to get the drop on us if we exit from the vent-side of the room this time. I just can't see any good things coming from rushing in there, it's noisy, we'd come into its line of sight the moment we made a dash and that's ANOTHER THING- it would /see us/. That would undoubtedly call even more boogies to our position! We gotta double back.
Furthermore, dashing by the central walkway? Looking at the map that takes us right into view of the second boogie in the room, this is just suicide! Edit: Also, from the vent, the walkway goes right, and as can be seen here, leads to a ladder. Descending the ladder could take us out of view if the boogie here remains distracted enough. Sorry if I'm going off on a rambling rampage, I'm just kinda seriously invested now lol
Turn back for the vent. We don't have a way of dealing with pursuers. If we hide somewhere on the other side, they'll probably just hear us again like in the locker.
I think we maaay have messed up
... Wait a second. What is in those Tanks? That looks suspiciously like Liquid Boogie...
You could be right.
Yeah, I'd say turn back, get follow behind the camera boogie, then slip into the went while the small one is investigating. If that didn't potentially take to much time
I mean, we've seen before that the small ones are attuned to even soft sounds, and since we've drawn away the one close to the vent, we could double-back and make a dash for the vent. We shouldn't be visible to the camera drone given its position, so we should be able to make it to the vent without being seen.
I’m seeing good and bad from each decision and it’s making me nervous
One more thing, are the maps on screen at the same direction as ours?
Good catch, that was meant to be fixed. You helped so I'll reward you guys by telling you that monitor indeed represents camera boogie's position and corresponds to your own map.
Let's see... one of the screens is showing the 2 boogies on the room, I suppose one of the screens is showing camera boogie's position, but what is showing the other screen? the temperature? or something else?
Yes it appeared to be temperature and other assorted readings. Too far away to see anything specific/useful.
Big guy could hear sounds detected by the booby in addition to himself. There's a 110% chance he's on his way from the same direction we came from, I think.
If one sees they all do. getting spotted by one means they'll all know which direction you went. but since we don't know exactly where the one behind us is and ones already searching for a disturbance its a rock and a hard place choice.
The way I see it is if we go back, it’ll hear us and keep following and we’ll end up sandwiched
Maybe if we back up to the duct page there might be some clues that could help us. *edit* it doesn’t seem like there’s anything on that page to help us, it was worth a try though 0ш0
We've established even with our suit we can't outrace the Boobies. But unfortunately we didn't wait for the camera boogie in the other room so we have no idea where it is. Also, we CAN'T TURN BACK because there's no other areas to go. We may not have a choice bu to to dash.
Per the update below from Ozone, we actually do know where the camera boogie is now.
How far away from the security camera booby is this room? Like, a hallway apart? A room or two?
You're located in the pink square. It's a distance similar to each hallway in the last room.
Just speed through and theres like a 2% chance it’ll actually work
Lets NOT run into the room we just saw a boo in please.
To be fair we just escaped a room with one
Whew, choices choices...
