Ancient Greek Chapter Idea: The Sculpture?

Okay so! First off, hi, this is my first post on the forums. I just really hope I'm putting this in the right place.

Second, this post is about an idea I had for a new chapter for Dead by Daylight, which for now I'm calling "Set in Stone". With all these Greek themed skins coming out, I thought it would be interesting.

So firstly, the Killer. We already have a minotaur Oni skin, but the next ancient monster that popped into my head was Medusa, so I figured I could work with that. She'd appear as a cracked statue of herself, perhaps with a blindfold or mask, have a long serpentine body, which would have arrows and maybe swords and daggers embedded in it. And let's not forget the writhing snake hair. Perhaps the lore behind this could be that it's a statue possessed by Medusa herself?

Her ability would be called Athena's Curse. The most simple way I could put it is that it works like a survivor's flashlight, and can be modified with addons. Looking at a Survivor for long enough will Petrify them, stunning for a short duration. Maybe long enough to get a free hit.

Next off, her Perks:

Pandora's Box: Whenever a Survivor finishes searching a chest, they scream and their aura is revealed. Either Iron Maiden or Deathbound but with chests.

Gorgon's Gaze: Auras of survivors hiding in lockers are revealed to you when within a certain range.

Hideous: Any survivor that attempts to blind you momentarily suffers from the Exposed status effect

As for the map, I was thinking an old, dilapidated museum would be fitting, unique and interesting. It can be set in an existing Realm, like Ormond or Lery's. There would be two floors, and different "exhibits". Dinosaur bones, paintings, etc.

What do yall think? Critique is welcome, and if I get enough feedback on this I'll give my idea for a survivor!

Heres a quick crappy sketch of my general ideas, taken with my phone camera so please forgive me:

    Gorgon's gaze wouldn't be viable, as lockers are intended to give an inherent risk to searching. If you knew that every locker you passed didn't contain someone, then it would be an unfairly drastic change to the entire game. Lockers would become inherently dangerous in any game, moreso than Iron Maiden already causes. Perhaps if you down a survivor, all lockers containing survivors have their auras revealed for x number of seconds. Would make a bit of awkwardness as a hard combo with BBQ and chili, though.


    As for Hideous, Lightborn already interacts with survivors trying to blind you. Perhaps if you're successfully blinded, they gain exposed for 20/25/30 seconds?

    Pandora's box I like, but I feel it would need more to be useful. There are, at base, three chests that spawn, and they don't always get searched. The perk is risky, and has very awkward payoff, since chests are generally not searched anywhere near the killer. A possible alternative is that the survivor is prevented from leaving the activation once started, and when finished they scream? It's still a bit weak, but then it is at least very strong when you benefit from it.
