Many people are afraid of chases at the beginning of the game, fearing the end of character's stamina. This is definitely not something to be afraid of, because the STAMINA WHILE CHASING IS INFINITE AND THE SPEED WILL NOT SLOW DOWN. So you will go through the first levels with humanoids: 0 (yellow walls), 1 (parking) and 5 (hotel). What is the advantage at these levels? You are simply faster than the monsters. THE ONLY WAY TO DIE ON THE FIRST LEVELS IS NOT TO CLOSE THE DOOR BEHIND YOU.
Which monsters are faster?

• Hounds (dogs from level 3, but at normal and easy levels they get blinded 3 times and run away)
  
• Smilers (just a smile flying at the last location of the 1st level with light)
  
• Deathmoths (insects that are found in caves after the sea level and in the basement of level 5)
  
• Monsters from the fun level, the suburb level

Otherwise, you have nothing to worry about regarding stamina and speed.

Here the problem is more complicated, since it cannot be explained simply, but I will try. The only random spawn of mobs at these levels: 0, 1 (dark sublevel), 5, cave level. Here you can find monsters by two things: look from the corner through q and e, listen to monsters sounds.

1. When you look around the corner, the monsters don't see you. Consider it an advantage. This will help you on some levels.
   
2. Monster sounds may vary. For example, leather stealers (monsters from level 1 and caves) in disguise say: excuse me. In any case, this shows that he is nearby and knows where you are. Hounds bark when approached, etc. Therefore, death will not be unexpected.
   

I wrote above that there are levels with random spawn, and there is also a targeted one. These are different levels than those I wrote above. There is often a location there: monsters from the suburbs are in houses where you need to get into the PC, dogs from the energy station level (switches, brick walls, etc.) stand in certain rooms and before entering these rooms - you can inspect them at presence of dogs. So you won’t be afraid of unexpected spawns, since all their surprise is limited by the script.

Unfortunately, this fear can be suppressed by the person himself and there is no way to help him with it, except for a couple of tips.

1. Fears of anything are normal. Your body is trying to protect you from danger. You need to realize that nothing is in danger. This comes with experience. You can watch walkthroughs, guides, and other videos with liminal spaces.
   
2. If you are very afraid of monsters, then will be better not to play this game. If you want to get adrenaline, it's better to watch a movie. If you want to completely remove the atmosphere of horror, find a playing partner, play during the day, with music, etc. Then this may help you a little, as the brain feels comfortable.

I will hope my review helped you and you liked it. I tried to help you, and, I will hope again, that you will enjoy the game with less fear! The main thing is to understand that fear is a normal reaction of your organism and the brain is not your enemy, but simply values ​​you. Good luck to you and have a nice day, reader!
