Z-317, codenamed "Eyefestation" is a hostile monster in Pressure, acting as a common threat found in the Hadal Blacksite.

Appearance

Eyefestation is a black malformed bull shark with numerous bright green glowing eyes of various sizes across the top of its snout and along its body. These eyes constantly produce rays of green light, which Eyefestation uses to hunt its prey.

Mechanics

Eyefestation has a chance to appear in large rooms with windows that do not have sea mines, casting rays of green light from its eyes into the room. While the player is in view of Eyefestation's gaze, their camera will be drawn towards it, draining the player's health if eye contact is made. After the player opens the door to the next room, Eyefestation will swim away.

Notes

• Occasionally, Eyefestation will try to telepathically communicate using HQ's voice to trick players into looking at it.
• Using a Flash Beacon on Eyefestation will enrage it, turning red, and causing its pull to be stronger and its damage to be faster.
  • Using a Flash Beacon on it again will outrage it, turning blue, and causing its pull to be even stronger and its damage to be even faster.
• Eyefestation spawns after the door to the room it is in is opened, and will despawn after the next room’s door is opened.
• Eyefestation cannot spawn in rooms where there are sea mines outside the window.

The Ridge

For more information, see: The Ridge

Eyefestation's behavior and mechanics do not deviate while in the ridge, appearing in large rooms with windows; however, due to the constant flickering light present in the Ridge, as well as potentially distracting players with its communication, an Eyefestation encounter in the ridge may leave players more vulnerable to an Angler or Pandemonium encounter.

The Gauntlet

Occasionally, the player may walk into a room and hear the door shut behind them. When this happens, they have entered The Gauntlet. The door to the next room has been locked by Z-779, and the player must survive an enraged Eyefestation until the door unlocks. The player will hear a ticking sound and the navi-path of the next door becomes orange. While there may be lockers present in the room, hiding in them will pause the timer. Once the timer is finished, the door will unlock, the ticking sound stops and the player can proceed.

Strategy

In order to prevent one's life from being drained, the only way to combat Eyefestation's ability is to forcefully move one's cursor in the opposite direction of the pull. Lowering the in-game sensitivity of your mouse also helps counter its strong pull.

Because Eyefestation swims away when the door to the next room is opened, it would be in one's best interest to try and get to the next room as soon as possible.

Since Eyefestation's line of sight is done with raycasting, hiding in places that block its vision will cause the pull to stop until Eyefestation regains vision of the player. Hiding in hiding spots also works to avoid its gaze.

Trivia

• It is said that Eyefestation kills its victims by firing radiation through a person's optic nerve, effectively "melting" their brain.
  • This is because Eyefestation was an early experiment from the B.U.P.W.M program, a program designed to create procedures that allow humans to perform the same feat.
    • B.U.P.W.M is short for Blows Up Pancakes With Mind.
• Eyefestation can communicate telepathically with humans and presumably read their minds, replicating voices of those close to them to manipulate them into looking into it's eyes.
• Eyefestation was scheduled to be executed before the containment breach as it had outlived its usage to Urbanshade.
• Eyefestation can hold grudges.
• It is said that Eyefestation’s internal organs are also infested with moving eyes.
