Camera Figure

Behavior

A black shadowy, cat-like figure with red glowing eyes and crooked teeth that appears only on broken security cameras with roughly a 50% chance. The longer the camera is watched, the more it zooms in on itself; the camera UI temporarily disappears then reappears after a few seconds of zooming. If the camera view gets close enough, it triggers a jumpscare with a screen shake and loud screech, costing the player 20 sanity.

How to Respond

Switch to another camera or close the camera menu before it jumpscares you. To prevent it from appearing at all, fix broken cameras by looking underneath the camera machine.

Quick tips

• Switch to a different camera feed, or close the camera menu entirely, before the zoom-in finishes to avoid the jumpscare.
• The safest long-term fix is preventing it from spawning at all — repair broken cameras by looking underneath the camera machine.
• It only appears on cameras that are already broken, so prioritize fixing those over leaving them unattended.
