Static

Static is an environmental hazard in The Haunted Staircase, which prevents you from going AFK.

In-Game
In-Game, static will appear starting on floor 100 whenever you stand still. When standing still, static will fade into your view and an audible static sound will get louder. If you stand still for too long, then the static will fully take up your screen and kill you. Static is especially deadly when dealing with SCP-087-3, as you are not able to move while looking at it, and the noise makes it hard to hear when it leaves. Because static is visible in the game, it can be assumed that your view throughout the game is that of the camera and that the static indicates that the signal is getting weak.

Tips

 * If looking away from SCP-087-1, spam A and D to prevent static from taking over.
 * If looking at SCP-087-3, listen closely for the sound cue. As soon as SCP-087-3 disappears, spam A and D while looking at the ground to shake off static, while simultaneously preventing yourself from accidentally looking at SCP-087-2
