Weapon- Unwanted Words

It speaks of truths we must not know.

Instead of making an attack, The Alternate raises their hand, as if to great or beckon a Survivor, while whispering incomprehensible words. Its lunge has it step forward and raise its voice. Despite no physical harm coming to the Survivor, they still exhibit the signs of injury.

-----

Ability- M.A.D

Special Ability- Disguise

Hold the Active Ability button to assume the form of your obsession. In this form, you are almost indistinguishable from a normal Survivor, with the exception of your face still being obscured by black static. After using this ability, your obsession will change to another random survivor.

While in this form, you can take movements and actions to mimic those of a Survivor.

Survivors within your terror radius while you are in this form will periodically hear incomprehensible whispers, filling up the M.A.D Gauge, only visible to you around their icon. The rate at which this gauge fills increases the closer you are to the Survivor. The rate increases even further if they have a clear view of your face. The more the gauge is filled, the slower the rate of filling becomes.

For each third of the M.A.D Gauge filled in, Survivors begin to suffer various effects.

Tier 1- Survivors no longer see the static around The Alternate’s face, making them appear as a regular Survivor. The Survivor will see the Obsession as The Alternate.

Tier 2- Survivors will see one other random teammate as The Alternate.

Tier 3- Survivors become exposed, and all teammates will appear as The Alternate. The Survivor will also see through The Alternate’s disguise, making the killer appear in their normal form for as long as they remain in Tier 3.

Survivors who appear as The Alternate will always emit an illusory Red Stain and will emit an Illusory Terror radius to Survivors in Tier 3.

A Survivor can perform a skill check while standing still to calm down and reduce their M.A.D Gauge by 1 tier. The difficulty of this check increases with higher tiers. Failing the check will reveal their location to The Alternate if they are within its Terror Radius.

Making an attack, being blinded, or being stunned will break The Alternate’s disguise. Disguise has a cooldown of 15 seconds at base.

Special Ability- Mimicry

Only usable while disguised.

Hold the Power button while disguised to mimic the actions of Survivors. Holding it while moving will cause you to sprint, holding it at a Generator or Box will cause you to mimic the actions associated with those objects. Tap the Active Ability button while interacting with an object to mimic a failed skill check.

After sprinting, you can not attack for 2 seconds.

The Alternate can not crouch, enter lockers, or open the exit gates.

Special Ability- Alter Wavelength

Only usable while not disguised.

Hold the Power button to channel the ability Alter Wavelength. While channeling this ability, you will begin to fill the M.A.D Gauges of Survivors within your terror radius at a reduced rate, while moving at a decreased speed.

Memento Mori- The Alternate moves towards the downed Survivor and stares them directly in the eyes. The black static can be seen fading away, giving the Survivor a clear view at The Alternate’s true face, which causes them to go wide-eyed and slump over, dead.

-----

Perks:

Bad Decision:

You know what they love.

Survivors within your Terror Radius suffer from a 5 / 10 / 15% decrease to unhooking speed.

“Uh oh, bad decision Mark!”

Scourge Hook: Greatest Fear:

You know what they dread.

Up to 4 random hooks in the trial are converted into Scourge Hooks.

Hooking a Survivor on one of these hooks will place a copy of your Terror Radius on that hook.

This Terror Radius persists on the Hook for 10 / 15 / 20 seconds after the Survivor is unhooked.

“Don’t be afraid! I bring good news of great joy, for you and all people.”

Nobody Came:

You know what makes them human.

You become Obsessed with one Survivor.

Your Obsession makes no noise when they are downed, and other Survivors do not receive a notification of them being downed or hooked when outside of 32 / 24 / 16 meters. While hooked, their aura will not appear to Survivors outside of this range.

New Survivor- Caesar Torres

An unassuming young man, thrust into horrific circumstances. His personal perks Cameraman, Worried and Please Help Me help him to survey the area, keep track of his friends and gain additional support from his team.

-----

Perks:

Cameraman:

You’ve got a knack for recording home videos.

After repairing Generators for a total of 66%, Cameraman activates. Press the Active Ability button while repairing a Generator to install a camera on to that Generator.

Once a camera is placed, crouch and hold the Active Ability button to view the auras of all Survivors and the Killer within 4 / 6 / 8 meters of that Generator. This perk takes priority over Diversion while the camera is still in play.

The camera is destroyed if the Killer damages the generator it is attached to. Only one camera can be active at a time.

"I'm just gonna switch them on and get out of there, you know how I feel about your house."- Mark Heathcliff

Worried:

You worry for the safety of your friends.

While within 4 / 6 / 8 meters of you, other Survivors make less noise while moving, and their scratch marks become less visible. Additionally, while another Survivor is healing themselves or another Survivor, they will make no noise when failing a skill check. This part of the perk has a cooldown of 10 seconds.

"Yeah, that's the weird part. Maybe she saw something?"- Caesar Torres?

Please Help Me:

Your team can tell you’re afraid, and they offer you more comfort than others.

After being healed, leave no scratch marks or blood drops for 4 / 8 / 12 seconds. While being healed, both your aura and the aura of the Survivor healing you can’t be seen by the Killer.

Perk only activates when someone else is healing you.

"She's knocked out cold, and I have no idea why."- Caesar Torres?

New Map- Torres House, Mandela County

The once home of Caesar Torres and his mother. Now, empty and abandoned, with nothing but the creeping shadows and television static to keep the nothingness company.

Main map is inside the house, with players being able to exit on to the driveway and garden. The Exit Gates are located at the end of the drive, and at the back of the garden.

· All T.Vs in the house flicker with static. Occasionally, the face of the Intruder can be seen.

· Cameras can be seen set up around the house, seen by the small, blinking, red lights.

· When ascending or descending the stairs, there is a small chance for a shadowy figure to just be standing off to the side. The figure disappears if directly looked at, or looked away from, so they can only be glimpsed out of the corner of your eye.
