Previously, Survivors often waited together while the Possessed hid away to prepare items, making their identities easier to spot. These changes aim to let the Possessed prepare chain kills within the crowd and retain a chance to stay hidden after a failed attempt, while shortening restock waits and drawn-out endgames.
Chain-Kill Pacing
- Added a remote shop exclusively for the Possessed. Press [K] or open the shop tab in the [Tab] panel to buy items and sell Gold and Ingots without visiting a physical shop. It cannot be opened during meetings.
- Selecting Corrupted Crystal, Haunting, Ghost Wall or Ghost Carry preserves your previous ordinary held-item appearance.
- Corrupted Crystal, Haunting and Ghost Wall can be cast while moving and turning freely, without their previous casting animations. Existing cast times and targeting conditions remain.
- With the chain-kill item equipped, the no-kill meeting threshold drops from three transformations to two: two consecutive transformations ending without a kill automatically start a meeting.
- Much shorter restock cooldowns: Ghost Carry — 30 seconds; Ghost Wall — 15 seconds.
- Unreported bodies automatically trigger a report 60 seconds after dawn, preventing repeated Ghost Carry use from indefinitely delaying a meeting. The nearest living player at the moment of the automatic report becomes the reporter, regardless of team.
Soul-Swap Improvements
- New [Z] skill: select two other players to swap their positions while you stay in place. Each target keeps their facing direction.
- [Q] retains its existing purpose and shares its cooldown with [Z]. Targets follow the existing protection, tracking and conditional invisibility rules, with smoke and sound at both swap locations.
- Updated skill icons, selection prompts and the skill-bar layout.
Other Improvements & Fixes
- The tutorial key is now [L], with updated role, item and shop descriptions.
- Fixed abnormal hanging-body poses at the school and persistent hanging-body jitter at low frame rates.
Thank you for your continued feedback, and enjoy your next night!
