If you're gearing up for an April Fools' game update, you might expect light-hearted pranks and amusing in-game antics. 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 funny, offering a tense and challenging experience. Here's a comprehensive guide to surviving all three nights in Three Nights at the Blacksite.

If you're familiar with Five Nights at Freddy's, you'll quickly grasp the gameplay mechanics. For Pressure enthusiasts, knowing which monsters to expect and how to combat them will be beneficial. Below is a detailed guide to help you survive each night.

You start in a camera control room, monitoring surveillance footage. Behind you are two doors that you can open and close, but remember, closing them depletes your power, and running out means game over. Your primary defenses against monsters are flashing them or closing the doors, both requiring power.
Your main task throughout the nights is to monitor the cameras, particularly the top one. Ensure Sebastian remains visible there; if he disappears, he'll quickly reach and kill you. Regularly check the cameras for anomalies and periodically turn around to monitor the doors. Sounds are more distinct outside camera mode, helping you anticipate threats.

When you notice the lights flickering around 2 AM, turn around and close the doors to prepare for Angler charging down the hall. Painter's pop-ups on the camera screen can be closed and ignored as they are designed to distract you.
We recommend turning around every 10 seconds or upon hearing strange noises. Continue monitoring the camera footage and flash whenever you suspect Sebastian's presence. If he's not at the top camera, quickly check cameras 1 and 2 to prevent his advance. Following these tips will help you reach 6 AM, marking the end of your first shift.

Until 1 AM on the second night, you won't encounter any monsters. Keep checking the cameras and flash if you spot anything unusual. Upon hearing odd sounds, turn around and close the doors; Angler's first attack occurs at 2 AM, similar to the first night.
The camera footage becomes dimmer, making it crucial to cycle through all cameras frequently, especially those marked 1 and 2. Don't forget 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 as you'll encounter more static and frequent pop-ups.
Just before the shift ends at 5 AM, prepare for two Angler attacks, one on each side. The final hour is the most demanding, requiring heightened vigilance and focus.

The third night ramps up the difficulty significantly. Sebastian escapes the top camera mere seconds after your shift starts, followed by an Angler attack 30 seconds later. Focus solely on checking the cameras and turning around.
After the initial Angler attack, keep the door closed for a while before reopening it. The monsters are now faster and more aggressive, making quick reactions essential. Expect four Angler attacks throughout the night, with the first two around 2 AM.
Following the 3 AM door attacks, the challenge intensifies. You'll need to keep the doors closed more frequently, but monitor your power levels closely. The hours between 4 AM and 5 AM are the toughest, requiring a delicate balance between flashing Sebastian and conserving power. Prioritize power conservation, even if it means not flashing Sebastian when he's at cameras A1, B1, or C1.

A reassuring note: if you fail on the third or second night, you can restart from the beginning of that night. Successfully surviving all three nights completes the event and earns you the Connection Terminated badge.
