Crouch With the C Key
For Scream And Run how to crouch, the direct PC answer is C, according to the official experience description. The same description lists C for crawling and Shift + C for sliding.
A community recording provides a more specific observation: players describe a quick C press for crouching and a hold for crawling. Because that distinction comes from players, test it in the current session rather than treating it as a complete developer specification.

Try one input at a time and watch the posture change. If the result is unclear, release the other keys before testing again. This troubleshooting suggestion helps isolate the input; it is not a claim about a particular animation or guaranteed passage through an obstacle.
Crouching Is Not a Safety Guarantee
The published controls do not state that crouching removes noise, prevents detection or makes furniture a safe zone. The recording also does not establish universal rules for monster teleporting, collision or movement speed. Those claims should not be inferred from a crouch key.
Can I crouch on a phone or console? Use the game's prompts for that device. A verified equivalent binding is not included in the available official description.
Does this explain all escape objectives? No. It explains the input distinction. For the School search objective, use the School walkthrough.
