Chapter Concept: In the Darkness (Killer & Survivor)
Hello! I'm Jake, referred to as such by my online friends for my exclusive love of the solitary survivor. I am a studying game designer and have decided to take a crack at designing a killer and survivor of my own creation. I have posted my fun project of Jake-turned killer on these forums back in December. After taking…

Hex Totem Icons
Would it be so bad to put an icon over hexes that tells the killer WHICH totem is WHICH hex. So they know what to defend more aggressively. Can't imagine it would be that game breaking. But it would make hexes a little less random for the killer. It is THEIR hex after all. May as well know which one is which.

New hex totem concept
At the beginning of the game the killer will have their hex perks inactive until the killer looks at one of their totems from a 20m distance, this will set fire to the candles below activating that hex perk so the killer can decide where it goes and when they need it in the game. You can set keys to specific perk slots so…

Survivor and Killer suggestion
Not sure if any of you have seen "The Collector", but it was a really intense movie. It definitely fits the theme and the killer is scary enough to warrant insert in the game. I came up with a few ideas for Survivor and Killer roles off of this movie. Granted, lore wise, I might have missed who the killer was, but I think…

New Killer Idea- Mothman
Unique ability- For the Unique ability is the ability to hypnotize/warp the mind of victims like in the legends.

Mechanic change - idea
Devs said the game was made so that about 2-3 gens to be done within the first 4 minutes of the match, they don't want there to be 5 gens at the end of the match, I also assume they Don't want the killer to not be able to hook anyone, but in the current state game simply finishes too quickly in my opinion. How about…

Chucky as a Killer. Bear with me here.
