Camera Twitching

Twitching that hides from the naked eye and only appears on the CCTV — easy to overlook.

⚠ How to spot it: Brief twitching that only shows up on the security camera, never at the desk.
✔ How to respond: Watch the feed for several seconds, then deny.

Overview

Camera Twitching behaves like the appearance-based Twitching anomaly, except the spasms only occur on the security feed. At the desk the patient seems perfectly calm and still, giving you no reason to suspect anything.

This split behaviour is what catches people out. Players who saw a calm patient at the window assume it is safe and give the camera only a passing look, missing the jerks entirely.

Because the movements are brief and camera-only, linger on the feed for several seconds rather than glancing and moving on. Any twitching that appears there is your confirmation — deny entry.

Common mistakes
