First-Run Progression Strategy
Whether playing solo or in public lobbies with up to 50 players, escaping House of The Locust requires balancing scavenging speed with stealth discipline. First-time players should start with the Beginner First-Run Orientation to understand the 5-step escape loop (Flashlight grab, the house puzzle behind the Wire Cutter, the drawer Key, and the three EXIT unlocks). From there, review the Full Escape Walkthrough and read Survival Tips to master stamina pacing and crouch stealth. Spawned on the dark map instead? The Lights Out Mode Guide covers the five-generator escape.
