The levels are procedurally generated each time, though, so you’re never going to be able to memorize the layout and map the most efficient routes; you’re going to need to balance exploration with stealth in order to find the generators without getting spotted and winding up on one of the killer’s meat hooks.

You study them, getting to see what each survivor looks like and exactly which perks they’re bringing in. From the jump, the game makes it clear that the killer is probably going to win.
