Blacksite Pressure Guide: Three Nights of April Fools

If you’re expecting the usual April Fools' game update filled with playful pranks, think again. The developers of Pressure have taken a darker turn with their new game mode, Three Nights at the Blacksite, heavily inspired by Five Nights at Freddy’s. This mode is far from humorous, offering a tense and thrilling experience. Here’s your comprehensive guide on surviving all three nights in this gripping new addition.

If you're familiar with Five Nights at Freddy’s, the gameplay mechanics will be second nature. For Pressure veterans, you'll recognize the monsters and know how to fend them off. Here's a detailed walkthrough for each night to help you make it through.

First Night Walkthrough

You start in a camera control room with surveillance footage in front of you and two doors behind you that can be opened and closed. Remember, closing the doors drains your power, and once it's gone, it's game over. Your only defenses against the monsters are flashing them or closing the doors, both of which require power.

Your primary task is to monitor the cameras, especially the top one where Sebastian must remain. If he leaves, he'll reach you quickly and it’s game over. Check for anomalies and turn around occasionally to listen for threats; sounds are clearer when not in camera mode.

When the lights start flickering around 2 AM, turn and close the doors as Angler will soon charge down the hall. You’ll also encounter Painter’s pop-ups on the camera screen, which you can close and ignore.

We recommend turning around every 10 seconds or at any unusual noise. Keep browsing 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 reach 6 AM, ending the first shift.

Until 1 AM on N2, no monsters will appear. Keep checking the cameras and flash at any odd sightings. If you hear strange noises, turn around and close the doors. The first Angler attack occurs at 2 AM, similar to N1.

The camera footage dims, and image quality worsens, so cycle through all cameras frequently, especially 1 and 2, and remember to turn around.

Crooked is a new threat this night. Spot him at your doors and close them briefly. Pay more attention to the cameras as static increases and pop-ups become more frequent. Close them quickly.

Just before the shift ends at 5 AM, brace for two Angler attacks, one on each side. The last hour demands your utmost vigilance and focus.

N3 ramps up the difficulty significantly. Sebastian leaves the top camera almost immediately, followed by an Angler attack 30 seconds later. Forget past strategies; focus on checking cameras and turning around.

After the initial Angler attack, keep the door closed longer before reopening. Monsters are faster and stronger, making reactions challenging. Expect four Angler attacks, starting much earlier than in previous nights.

After the 3 AM door attacks, the challenge intensifies. Keep doors closed more often, but monitor your power levels closely. The final two hours at 4 AM and 5 AM are the toughest, requiring you to balance flashing Sebastian and conserving power. Save power, even if it means not flashing Sebastian when he's at cameras A1, B1, or C1.

If you fail on N3 or N2, you can restart from the night's beginning. Survive all three nights to complete the event and earn the Connection Terminated badge.
