Three Nights at the Blacksite Pressure Guide [April Fools]

If you're someone who usually expects April Fools' updates to bring light-hearted pranks, you're in for a surprise. The developers of Pressure decided to create a new game mode heavily inspired by Five Nights at Freddy’s. While it might sound fun, there’s nothing humorous about it—it’s intense and challenging. Here’s how to survive all three nights in Three Nights at the Blacksite.

If you’re familiar with Five Nights at Freddy’s, you’ll grasp the gameplay mechanics easily. For those who’ve played Pressure, you’ll know what monsters to anticipate and how to fight them. Below, you'll find a detailed guide to surviving each night step by step.

First Night Walkthrough

You start in a camera control room with surveillance footage in front of you. Two doors behind you can be opened and closed, but remember—closing them depletes your power. Once your power runs out, it’s game over. The only ways to fend off monsters are to flash them or close the doors, both of which require power.

Your primary task during all three nights is to constantly check the cameras, especially the top camera. Sebastian should always be visible there, as leaving his spot will lead to a quick death. Regularly scan the cameras for any unusual activity and occasionally turn around to check the doors. The sound becomes clearer when you’re not in camera mode, so stay alert.

Whenever lights flicker (around 2 AM on Night 1), turn around and close the doors. Angler will soon charge down the hall. At this point, Painter will send pop-ups to your screen, which you can safely ignore.

Our advice is to turn around every 10 seconds or anytime you hear strange noises. Keep monitoring the cameras and flash whenever you suspect Sebastian is nearby. If you can’t locate him on the top camera, quickly switch to cameras marked 1 and 2 to prevent him from advancing. Follow these tips, and you’ll make it to 6 AM.

By 1 AM on Night 2, you won’t face any immediate threats. Stick to checking the cameras and flashing when something seems off. Listen closely for unusual sounds and turn around to close the doors when necessary. An Angler attack occurs around 2 AM, just like on Night 1.

The camera footage dims noticeably, and static begins appearing. Focus on cycling through cameras frequently, particularly cameras 1 and 2. Don’t neglect turning around periodically.

A new monster, Crooked, appears tonight. He’ll stand on your doors—close them quickly when you spot him. Static in the footage increases, and pop-ups become more frequent. Try to close them swiftly to maintain focus.

As the night winds down (5 AM), you’ll face two Angler attacks simultaneously—one on each side. Stay sharp and avoid distractions.

Third Night Walkthrough

Night 3 is significantly tougher than the previous two. Sebastian disappears from the top camera almost immediately after your shift starts, followed by an Angler attack shortly thereafter. Forget everything else you learned earlier—just stick to checking cameras and staying alert.

During the first Angler attack, keep the doors closed for a while before reopening them. Monsters are faster and stronger now, making reactions crucial. Unlike the earlier nights, where attacks occurred around 2 AM, you’ll face four attacks tonight.

After two door attacks at around 3 AM, the challenge ramps up further. You’ll need to keep the doors closed more often but remain mindful of your power levels. The 4 AM and 5 AM hours are the toughest, requiring careful balancing between flashing Sebastian and conserving power. Save power whenever possible, even if it means skipping flashes (but only if Sebastian is at cameras A1, B1, or C1).

If you fail on Night 3 (or Night 2), you can restart from the beginning of the night. Successfully surviving all three nights earns you the Connection Terminated badge.
