How to Beat Run for Your Life!

When you spawn in, you’ll experience the only safety the game offers; as soon as you step out of the alcove, the gang of entities will be after you. Holding sprint, you must avoid the obstacles and jump accordingly to escape the hospital setting scratch-free. Thankfully for this level, you won’t run out of stamina, so just keep running!

The first obstacle will be a set of chairs. On the approach, shift yourself to the very right of the hallway. Then go back to the middle, to avoid the open cabinet. As soon as you are past the cabinet door, go right to avoid the table.

As soon as you do, go to the very left in anticipation of the falling medical apparatus that will have otherwise caught you. Whilst avoiding the falling obstacle, a door will open to the left and an object will shoot out of this. To avoid any collision, strafe to the very right around the monitor. Do not attempt to go through the door, an invisible wall will stop you.

As you clear those obstacles, a whole line of objects will impede your path. You must jump over the fallen chairs in the middle, then run to the left as another medical apparatus falls to the floor in the middle of the hallway.

Then, meander yourself to the right in between the cabinet and the tables and run between the next two tables that almost fully block your path, but return to the very right to go around the obstacles in the middle.

As you pass those obstacles, two mattresses will fall from the walls into the centre. To get past them, stick to the left and jump. Sometimes the mattresses won’t fall properly, and you will get caught. Getting past them will meet you with a blockade and an open door to the left. Run through the door and follow the short hallway.

Running back into the hallway, go to the right side to avoid the table and stick to the right side, as more apparatus will fall from the ceiling. Center yourself to thread the needle between the last two obstacles and run straight through the open door at the end of the corridor, granting you passage out of the hospital.
