this is just kinda a nitpick of mine but i feel as if the oni is waaaaaaay to short, I think this because in the trailer he was massive and very intimidating, towering over the survivor. it was just..weird to see him so short after our first look at him, pleas tell me what you think in the comments

    Tall and monstrous would be cool, but for mechanical reasons there's a limit on how tall they can realistically make him, so from that perspective I think they did a good job.

    I know from a technical standpoint it'll be difficult but I wouldnt mind seeing a killer that towers over me

    Make him taller than Peppa Pig.

    To be careful of the hate you give him it would make it very easy for survivors to to cancel out your mind games if they could just see you over the top of loops.

    That's why short Killers who can break line of sight tend to have the best advantage when it comes to mind gaming survivors at a loop

    I was thinking about this the other day, and I just feel that the current heights they have for killer a bit limiting. Currently they can either be "Tall" or they can be "average" with no variation in between.

    Instead they should have four versions:

    Short, Average, Tall, Towering

    And instead of each being limited to a specific height that the killer must apply to, each should be a range. Short could be anywhere from <1 ft tall to 4 ft 11 inches average can be anywhere from 5 ft tall to 5 ft 11 inches, tall can be anywhere from 6 ft to 7 ft 4 inches, and towering could be anywhere from 7 ft 5 inches or more. These don't have to be the exact numbers, however, it was just an illustration for what I mean by range.

    This way it can put more personality into a killer, for example I know Michael Myers is a tall and lanky figure who's creepy and imposing, but he's not exactly the Hulking beast that the Oni is who should be a truly towering figure.

    This would also open the door for truly short killers which I think could be an interesting addition to the game. Short killers who really wouldn't apply to "average" height, so we're talking Chucky, or the leprechaun from that one movie. The devs could use this variability to create their own unique short killers

    Of course there would have to be new accommodations for these shorter killers like how would the hooks work, but I'm not here to have all the answers I'm just here to throw out some interesting ideas. I like this one in particular
