Quality of life improvement utilizing crows

My suggestion is to add a new crow animation for idle players. If a player is not moving the crows will land on them and begin pecking as well as alerting the killer. (Moving survivors with crows will remain the same circling animation)


To a healthy survivor, they will gain pecks, and gain them faster with more crows. 8 Pecks will cause a healthy survivor to become injured, then 8 more will down the survivor. (All a survivor has to do to avoid any pecks is to move, pecks would disappear over time much like tricksters knives).

The quality of life is for the player in the dying state and not moving. The pecking will increase the bleed out timer.

if a killer slugs and just abandons you, or if you crawl to a corner to spite the killer, you’ll die faster and end the game sooner. Something to help get a game over with.
