Stalker
A corner-dwelling figure that flickers the lights — don’t look straight at it or your sanity pays.
Overview
The Stalker haunts hallway corners and announces itself by making nearby lights flicker. The flicker is your early warning that it is present before you have even seen it.
The danger is inverted from most threats: here, looking at the Stalker is what hurts you. Direct eye contact drains your sanity, so the natural instinct to turn and check the flickering corner is exactly what it wants.
When the lights start flickering, avoid staring into the corner and angle your view lower to pass safely. Denying it your gaze is the entire counter — there is no need to fight it.
