How to escape
There is no path to memorise. The exit does not move and neither do the rooms — what moves is the five things you need, and that changes the shape of the problem entirely.
Sweep rooms, do not wander corridors
The Cat patrols room to room, which means the hallways are where your paths cross. Time spent standing in a corridor deciding where to go next is the most dangerous time in the run and it finds you nothing. Pick the next unsearched room before you leave the one you are in.
Searched bags stop glowing
This is the mechanic that makes a systematic sweep possible. A backpack you have already opened goes dark, so you can clear a room and know it is clear — including when a team-mate cleared it. Trust the lighting and move on.
