Suitborn places the player inside a high-security research facility that operates under strict isolation during the night shift. You are assigned as part of the maintenance crew, responsible for inspecting critical systems, monitoring security feeds, and ensuring the environment remains operational until sunrise. But the building is far from empty. Something massive and inhuman stalks the corridors—its heavy footsteps and distorted breathing reminding you that you are not alone. Your shift quickly becomes less about fulfilling duties and more about surviving until the doors unlock in the morning.
Nightly Operations And Responsibilities
At the beginning of each shift, you receive a list of objectives that must be completed to keep the facility running. These can involve repairing malfunctioning equipment, resetting security checkpoints, and clearing blocked passageways. The tasks seem straightforward on paper, but each one forces you to move deeper into unsafe areas. Lights flicker, security doors close unexpectedly, and distant noises hint that the creature is getting closer. Managing time becomes critical, as lingering too long in one location can turn it into a trap.
Tools, Awareness, And Survival Methods
Survival in Suitborn is not based on direct confrontation but on calculated movement and observation. Your equipment is basic—portable cameras, a flashlight with limited battery, and a facility map showing only partial layouts. Cameras can be placed to track enemy movement, but they take time to set up and recover. Hiding in storage rooms or behind heavy machinery can keep you out of sight, yet these spots are not guaranteed safety.
Practical methods for survival include:
· Keeping movement slow and controlled to avoid unnecessary noise
· Watching security monitors before entering new areas
· Staying near safe exits when possible
· Tracking the creature’s patrol routes over time
· Completing objectives in an order that limits backtracking
Growing Threats And Shifting Conditions
The danger in Suitborn escalates with each passing night. Early encounters with the monster might be avoidable, but as the nights progress, it becomes more aggressive, unpredictable, and aware of your hiding places. The environment itself changes—some corridors collapse, power shortages leave entire sectors in darkness, and new hostile creatures appear. These changes force you to adapt your strategies, relying on what you’ve learned from earlier shifts while preparing for unexpected scenarios.
