Poor Spanish translations
If you play the game in a different language, you might have noticed perks are sometimes very poorly translated, changing the whole meaning of the text. I’ve sent emails to support and they said they would look into it but they still read the same.
For example, Remember Me states that each time you hit the obsession the opening time of the Exit Gates is increased, hence it’s a negative effect for the survivors. The Spanish translation, though, says that everytime you hit the obsession you increment the time the exit gates will remain open (not like killers have the ability to close the doors anyway).

In portuguese there are some perks with old descriptions, meaning that if a perk gets a reworked version, it wont get noticed.

I remember once playing Metal Gear Solid and the guy on the radio said "take them out" meaning "kill them". Subtitles translated that as take them out of some place, literally 😂@Orion said:@Vietfox said:
