When you think of an April Fools game update, you might expect playful pranks and humorous content. However, the developers of *Pressure* took a different route by introducing a chilling new game mode inspired by *Five Nights at Freddy’s*—*Three Nights at the Blacksite*. This mode is far from lighthearted, offering a tense survival experience. Here's your comprehensive guide to surviving all three nights in this gripping addition to *Pressure*.

If you're familiar with *Five Nights at Freddy’s*, you'll quickly grasp the gameplay mechanics. For those accustomed to *Pressure*, you'll already know which monsters to anticipate and how to combat them. Below, find a detailed walkthrough to help you navigate through each night successfully.
First Night Walkthrough

You start in a camera control room with surveillance footage in front of you. Behind you are two doors that you can open and close, but be cautious as closing them depletes your power, which is crucial for survival. Your primary tools against the monsters are flashing them or closing the doors, both of which require power.
Your main task throughout the three nights is to monitor the cameras, particularly the top one, where Sebastian should remain. If he leaves, he'll quickly reach you and end your game. Regularly check the cameras for anomalies and periodically turn around to monitor the doors. Sounds are more distinct outside of camera mode, helping you anticipate threats.
When the lights start flickering around 2 AM on Night 1, turn around and close the doors to protect yourself from Angler charging down the hall. You'll also encounter pop-ups from Painter on the camera screen; you can close and ignore these as they're meant to distract you.
Turn around every 10 seconds or whenever you hear unusual noises. Continue monitoring the camera footage, flashing when you suspect Sebastian's presence. If he's not at the top camera, quickly check cameras 1 and 2 to prevent him from advancing too far. Follow these tips to reach the end of your shift at 6 AM.

By 1 AM on Night 2, you won't face immediate threats. Continue checking the cameras and flash if you notice anything unusual. If you hear strange sounds, turn around and close the doors—the first Angler attack occurs at 2 AM, similar to Night 1.
The camera footage gets dimmer, making it harder to see. Cycle through all cameras frequently, especially those marked 1 and 2, and don't forget to turn around to monitor the doors.
Tonight introduces Crooked, a new monster. You'll defend against him by noticing when he's at your doors and closing them briefly. Pay closer attention to the cameras as static increases and pop-ups become more frequent. Close them quickly to stay focused.
Just before the shift ends at 5 AM, brace for two Angler attacks, one on each side. The final hour requires heightened vigilance to ensure you don't get distracted.
Third Night Walkthrough

Night 3 is significantly more challenging. Sebastian escapes the top camera mere seconds after your shift starts, followed by an Angler attack 30 seconds later. Focus on checking the cameras and turning around constantly.
When the first Angler attack occurs, keep the door closed for a while before reopening it. The monsters are now faster and more aggressive, making timely reactions challenging. Expect four Angler attacks tonight, the first two around 2 AM.
After the two door attacks at around 3 AM, the difficulty escalates. Keep the doors closed more often, but monitor your power levels closely. The hours between 4 AM and 5 AM are the most challenging, requiring you to balance flashing Sebastian and conserving power. Save power by not flashing Sebastian unless he's at camera A1, B1, or C1.

If you fail on Night 3 (or Night 2), you can restart from the beginning of the night. Surviving all three nights completes the event, earning you the Connection Terminated badge.
