Thanks for playing! When you hear the monster's sound cue, you have a limited window of time to walk up to them and interact to make them go away before they come out and start chasing you. If you don't get there in time, you can hide in the dumbwaiter until they go away (this won't work on the one that comes out of the fireplace though, since it can open doors). Thanks again for playing, and thanks for the feedback!
