Dandy's World Twisteds Guide
Twisteds roam and chase on line of sight and noise (failed skill checks, running nearby). Break LOS around shelves and corners. Do not sprint across the whole floor unless Panic Mode is already up.
Detection
Walking is quieter than sprinting. A failed skill check is a flare. If a Twisted is already on you, drop the machine and kite — finishing a 2% extract is not worth a down.
Research
Surviving encounters fills Twisted research. That pays Ichor and unlocks trinkets. Play for survival first; research is a bonus of not dying.
