Ghost alien

You are standing in a null-zone. The AI director can see you and tell the alien AI to look for you in the general area, but the alien cannot see you in there.

[@Dan0RG]

It did see them, though? And that doesn't explain the alien clipping through the floor. What's actually happening is the alien climbed down and then up a vent opening on the floor below, which happened to _slightly_ cross paths with the playable area above. Fun fact: the alien can see you and come after you when this happens.

[@Jose10614]

Exactly. The Alien is just changing from one vent to another. I’ve seen that happened but in Seegson Synthetics.

@@Dan0RG When you say floor below, you mean the floor beneath the player is standing? or floor below as in the vent that is in an area just below the floor we are standing on that it clipped through?

[@Tenshihan-Quinn]

@@Dan0RG It does explain the alien clipping through the floor because the AI director isn't going to 'hide the alien model' as it traverses areas the player would NOT normally be seen in. Hence, when you are in null zones where the AI director doesn't expect you to be - you will see things that you are not supposed to see. In reality, the alien does NOT confine itself to any 'vents', it just takes the shortest path to its intended goal, ...if the player is out in the open in the general area, then the AI director automatically CULLS the Alien-Model when it's not to be seen yet - but, you will see it glitch when you are in a null-zone area like this. I hope that explains it better.

That's where you throw a flare or noisemaker and wait for the alien to go up in there, then lock him in for the rest of the level..

What?

[@paulmcghee6160]

Jesus, as if this game wasn't terrifying enough.

[@kerry9360]

When I played this game I was hiding by a wall, had nowhere to run, didn’t have much in the way of weapons so I just crouched by the wall. Was there for only a few seconds then thankfully he left, so I stood up, ready to move forward then all of a sudden the flippin Alien literally came out of the wall and murderised me! THE WALL!!!! THE FLIPPIN WALL! !!! That’s so not fair! Who do I send my strongly worded letter to?

[@REgamesplayer]

Paranormal activity. It is not enough that station is stalked by deadly predators, but now it is haunted too!

[@SeanKula]

The alien is using no clip.
