    from the way the text reads i'd say it's a new perk type, otherwise it sounds like a anime title for no real reason

    It's looking like it, because of the same name format as Hex perks.

    All Hex perks start with "Hex: " and Gift of Pain starts with "Scourge Hook: "

    They are not like hex perks they are simply perks that activate upon being unhooked from certain hooks.

    I think what OP means is that this could be like Hex Perks in that they are all classified under a certain brand to denote what kind of effect it is. "Hex: " perks all involve Hex Totems, and "Scourge Hook: " could be the start of a trend involving perks that turn hooks into Scourge Hooks.

    It could be an interesting addition because killers might try to position survivors to take advantage of these hooks. COuld be a cool additional type of mechanic if it's expanded upon. But I also thought that about Pyramid Head's cages and I don't think those have led to any further developments.

    Also to note - aside from the added effects to being unhooked by a scourge hook. The only thing that I saw was its white for the killer with a cloudy mist on the bottom of the hook. I thought it was going to be a visually different type of hook. Like your main hook and maybe some chains coming at you from the side clinging to your body while hooked. At least some difference visually. Would have been nice.

    I could imagine reworking Monsterous Shine into a Scourge Hook perk.
