This article is about the screen seen in the Van. For the locations that players can visit, see Map.
The Site Map is a screen located within the starting Van, being the top left screen. Beyond giving the name and layout of the current map, it also highlights many map details, including:
- The present location of players, coded to their color on the Sanity Monitor, additionally giving a small light glow to indicate which direction they're facing
- The positioning of CCTV cameras
- The location of the fuse box, depending on Difficulty
Depending on the map, the Site Map may either be a birds-eye view of the whole area, including outside sections, with visible props, textures and lighting (all maps added since 0.4.0); or a simplistic, greyed-out outline of only the investigation area's general layout and geometry (all older maps). In the case of maps where only the geometry is given, a few further points of interest are highlighted:
- Windows, which are marked with a red line
- Exit doors, which are marked with a green line
- Staircases to different floors, indicated with a simplistic graphic and an arrow pointing towards the direction that the stairs are accessed to reach the next floor.
On both styles of the Site Map, a couple pieces of Equipment are visible on it when placed:
- Motion Sensors, which show a red bar extending a short distance outward. The bar will flash green and make an audible beep when the motion sensor is activated.
- Sound Sensors, which produce a translucent orange sphere showing its effective area.
Two arrows can be found on the left side of the screen, which can be used by left-clicking on them to switch to either the next floor up or down. These arrows do not "wrap around" when reaching the uppermost or lowermost floor; the opposing arrow must be clicked to switch floors.
