The main game seems to be boring after a while so I think it's time for a change. This could either be a replacement or other option.

The killer is a shadow of what it was meaning you can only see a silhouette of it in 3d. It may also hide in anti-lights (lights that do the opposite of normal lights). These lights are all around the map for the killer to hide in. The killer has no weapon and even if they did they can't hurt the survivors in this form though they can pass through them. The goal of the killer is to find five broken levers around the map, fix them by doing skill checks then turn it on. While the killer can't attack they can still use their power whatever it is, like slowing down survivors with bear traps or running away with legion. Any attack base thing that is only for attacking may break a survivor's flash light for some time. Once the killer has turned on all levers they will go to the basement, open a chest, pick up their weapon and kill the survivors. A survivor takes 3 hits for them to die, there are no hooks. It goes injured, deep wound, dead. pallets are a thing but lockers are not.

Now the survivors start the game with a basic flash light or others they can get from the blood web. They must look for the killer and light it to death. It takes a full 20 seconds with the time reducing slightly each time they get caught. While a killer is invisible in the anti light they still aren't invincible, and they can be heard breathing. Survivors main objective is to kill the killer and leave. Once the killer is dead the exit gates are powered and the entity (controlled by the killer) spawns. It starts the timer and can only slow down survivors/drag them to other places. The game ends once they leave.

Now if the killer gets to its weapon, in the box is a wire cutter. Only one survivor can pick this up and cut all and the active levers slowly turning the killer back into its previous state. The game ends when all survivors are killed.

If a survivor's light is broken or out of battery they can look in a chest to find a battery or flashlight. A normal flashlight lasts 10 seconds by its self. A disabled flash light cannot be used for a certain time. Perks will either be scrapped or replaced. If the killer has not got to the chest when it is one second away from death it will trigger an event causing all flashlights to be disabled permanently, so you must find a new one. When the killer is being looked at they will see the ghost face's detection icon so they know who is watching them. Each killer has only one of their own power and has a choice of either being invisible for a time, invincible for a time, or able to disable the survivors items for a time.

Nice concept for a new way to play! Very thoughtful to come up with the whole "kill them with light" idea since Survivors don't have weapons (and giving them weapons may as well make this Left 4 Dead), I like it!
