Alien isolation meets FNAF, but it's also RTS-ish

Short (1-3 hours) mobile game about helping 4 unfortunate unarmed people avoid being eaten by the alien.
You use a digital map to give simple orders to 4 people: when and where to move, when to hide, when to run. You don't have a full view of the station and have to rely on sounds, motion sensors, cameras, air vent map and information from hiding survivors to deduct where the alien could be.
It has a lot of similarities with FNAF, but also feels less of a jumpscare and more strategic. And it preserves the atmosphere of Alien Isolation, despite different gameplay.
I like how this game simulates people panicking in a different way, when spotted by the Alien. Sometimes they keep their cool, slow down and hide (surviving), despite your order to run, sometimes they run away, giving you a brief chance to save them by closing a door behind them. Sometimes they just run into a dead end or stand still in terror. The voiceover and somewhat spontaneous movement made white dots on the map feel like real humans, not just bots.
