How to survive

  1. Give a resting Shelly room. It only wakes when you step into its space.
  2. The rouse is your warning. Get out of its radius and the lash is cancelled.
  3. Once awake it hunts for a while, then coils up wherever the chase ended, so a room you cleared can be blocked on the way back.

Watch for

  • A folded shape on a patrol route.
  • The rouse as it wakes.
