Hide from him (Update 1.0)

Occasionally I'll simply stand still, and the man will walk near and stop at a distance about 3 to 5 feet from me. Whenever this occurs, I can move at a slow speed, and he will maintain his safe distance.

The old guy can float/fly and get stuck under the level.

If the old guy stands near the character spawn he just keeps killing the player as soon as they respawn, no way to escape.

Found shed. Nothing happened. Pressing sprint once continuously drains stamina until it drops to zero even if you are not moving.
