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.
The official list does not explain how crouch and crawl share C. Check the prompts and posture in your current session before assuming a particular tap-versus-hold distinction.

| Slide | Officially listed as Shift + C. |
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. It 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.
