1. It watches you (first 3 days)
A tall, faceless figure appears far away, always outside your field of view. Look at it and it vanishes. Each day it stands closer. By day 3 it creeps nearer every time you look away, and at night it may stand outside your windows. You’ll hear breathing and footsteps behind you.

2. It knocks (after day 3, at night)
When you’re inside walls, it starts knocking on them. The knocking grows from three slow knocks to pounding on every side, and a dread meter builds. Trying to sleep makes it worse. Then everything goes completely silent.

3. It hunts
It appears and chases you. It is fast and relentless. It crouches to squeeze through low doorways and smashes through walls and doors you hide behind. Your heartbeat, the screen shake, the darkness and the fog all close in. It can’t be killed. If you hurt it enough, it retreats.

4. It takes you
Some hits become a kidnapping. It lifts you, the screen goes black, and you wake in a cage in a deepslate chamber. It only moves when you aren’t looking at it, and the torches go out one by one. When it reaches the bars, you wake up back where you were taken.

5. It changes (3 days)
After the kidnapping the Watcher stops hunting you, but something is wrong. You’ll hear skittering above you and whispers from the walls, and cobwebs start to appear. The figures you glimpse are now crawling on all fours.

6. The spider
After three days, one night it stands in front of you and speaks. Then it drops onto its hands, its bones crack, and it becomes a giant spider with the Watcher’s face. It climbs, smashes through walls, ignores sunrise, can’t be killed, and talks to you the whole time it hunts you. When it catches you, it kills you.

Then it starts again.
