About the Onryo idle menu jumpscare..

The novelty dried up pretty quickly imo.

That said, the "tell" that she's preparing to jumpscare is that she tilts her head up and her hair parts, revealing more of her face. Like others have said, if you spin the killer you'll also get a more obvious tell when she instantaneously resets her facing to look towards you again.

When Im playing Sadako I usually disable game audio until I get into a lobby - something I commonly do for a lot of killers since I find the bloodweb UI noise to be unnecessarily loud.

As someone who quasi-mains her, it still gets me from time to time when I'm not paying attention. Not scream-out-loud spooked, but definitely startled.

The ones I saw werent like that, just the usual "AAAAGH" from regular jumpscares, same as people getting startled on cinemas, but yes, throwing stuff around or running away is pretty much exaggerated and probably an act, after all streamers make their money by amusing the viewers, the more shock value the better.

Thats what i mean.

But good to know, that there are some people, who can really get affected by this. Wasn´t aware of that.

I don't find it scary but it does get annoying if she keeps doing that over and over while I am just trying to get through the blood web, so I'd welcome it if they at least reduce the frequency of it

I find it annoying but of course killer just have to deal with it lol, Like I choose I play killer why am I the one getting jumpscare it makes no sense. It’s even more annoying that it’s just a looped animation replaying every minute

If you're trying to get used to her I'd say record it or find a video of it. Play it in slow motion, rewind it, play it faster, skip around. Just really analyze it and try to break it down to the most analytical way possible. Desensitize yourself by exposing yourself. Try to analyze the creation of her, imagine how the modeling, textures, and rigging interact. Imagine how the wireframe would look in an animation, people methodically putting in frame after frame to make it jump at you. Consider her an inanimate representation of a system created for recreation and fun. Modeled in a quiet, clean and artistic development studio.Try to think of her as less of a person, a creature, or a sentient being. Just a simple triggered animation based on a calculation fed through RNG.

If you're bored you can try to write a small paragraph or two from the perspective of Onryo if she were a character in a story. Detail very briefly a more playful attitude about her doing the jump scare. Maybe a more whimsical tone like a kid hiding behind a door to say 'Boo!' and laughing when you get scared. Make her seem harmless.

Try to wait out jumpscares and clap and cheer for her, 'Woo! You got me. Good on you!' if you separate it from scary you can hopefully associate your mind with it being more fun and lighthearted than 'AH ######### SCARY!'

Hell throw a single frame into paint and start cropping parts of her and dragging them around, realize that someone modeled that eye, that hair, that smile, and you in your little paint project are doing exactly what they are (With a less refined program.)

Something like this

Then play the game and get scared anyways.

When it happens the 50th time, im like, 'What do you want huh?'

I just pretend I don't care so she gets bored and stops trying to scare me.

They should up the rarity of it happening. Would have been cool if it was almost a myth level of obscurity like some of the rare reload animations in battlefield.
