It appears when hiding in any hiding spot from Figure. In the minigame, you need to control your breathing.

Walkthrough

Players need to input Controls depending on their device. As soon as a half of the heart flies into the heart, players need to input the correct control depending on the side of the half.

If a player makes a mistake, or miss a beat, Hide will kick the player out of the hiding spot and the player will be vulnerable to Figure.

Trivia

As of The Content update, the Heartbeat Control Minigame is present as long as Hide also is and Figure is near the player's hiding spot.
- As Hide is disabled in The Electrical Room, the Heartbeat Control Minigame is missing, making players able to hide forever in this room.
- Because of this, if Hide is temporarily disabled because of the Crucifix, the Heartbeat Control Minigame also won't appear.
The Heartbeat Control Minigame speeds up as Hide is closer from kicking the player out of the closet.
- Because of this, the Rent's Due modifier significantly speeds up the Heartbeat Control Minigame from the very start of it.
Hide can still kick the player even if they never miss a beat, however the time limit is longer than the limit when there is no minigame.
- This makes hiding during a Figure encounter extremely lethal with the Rent's Due modifier, as the player will be kicked out of the hiding spot before Figure starts moving away, even if they player plays the minigame perfectly.
The Heartbeat Control Minigame will only end successfully if Figure stops checking the hiding spot and gets far enough from it.
- If Figure is spawned inside a small room (via Admin Panel or Chat Control) or is lured near the player's hiding spot constantly, it is possible the minigame will never end (until the player is kicked out by Hide or they miss a beat).
  - If this is the case, the safest solution is to exit when Figure is a little far from the player, and instantly move away crouching, as missing a beat or being attacked by Hide will attract Figure, killing the player succesfully practically always.
The player can leave the hiding spot while the Heartbeat Control Minigame is still active, however, this will normally kill them, as Figure will be too close when exiting, although not always.
After The Mines update, the Heartbeat Control Minigame became multicolored, apparently for those who couldn’t understand well.
In The Mines update, the Heartbeat Control Minigame was added to Hide even if Figure wasn't present, but was removed shortly after because it was unintuitive, and it didn't make sense because Figure was related to hearing, whilst the Heartbeat Minigame outside of the Figure rooms provoked confusion.
- In the period from September 1, 2024 to December 20, 2024, the Heartbeat Control Minigame at all, although Figure still checked the closet, and there was a bug where the player could exit the closet while Figure was checking it and not die.

Perfectly played minigame with the slowest Hide (Door 1).
Ditto, with the fastest Hide (Rent's Due modifier).
A bug where an absurd amount of beats generate. This happened when the Player entered a Closet, and got killed by Figure at the same time, then Revived. (Fixed after the Mines update)
