Insanity

**Insanity** is a Survival Chaser boss.

## Description

Not to be confused with the original Joy, Insanity is more of a darker version and more harmful version of Joy. First appearing and dying in Outside In 2, it was one of the MovieUnleashers' most disliked video, first being Outside In, and many people called Insanity various names, such as Joy.exe, Joy the Killer, and so on.

While she killed almost all of the emotions, she died before killing the last emotion. Some of her references are from Jeff the Killer and Ben Drowned, many people knew about this at first. Insanity appears almost like the normal Joy, the difference is sometimes having sharp teeth, blood on her skirt, arms, and face, and in the hidden Easter Egg, she has demon eyes.

While she has a shard about halfway through Outside In 2, this never appeared in the SF2 boss version. Insanity never appeared in the very beginning of Outside In 2, until she kills almost everyone around her. How Insanity appeared (Or Joy became crazy), she was too addicted to the microphone on the control panel, until destroyed 1/3 of the way through the film by the emotions. A reason why this happens is that when Joy needed someone to control Riley for her until she hired "volunteers" to make it "better".

## Behavior

Insanity is often mistaken for a wandering charger, but is considered a survival chaser compared to the likes of Dr. Trager and Chris Walker. Despite this, Insanity was made to see players from greater than the average distance, yet is not made to auto chase.

Due to there being a copy of Insanity, the difficulty can dramatically increase at times due to dealing with two survival chasers as supposed to one. It is possible to flashlight stun Insanity, but this should only be used as a last resort to make a sacrifice on someone or to hopefully get as far as possible to outrun the near impossible 100 second chase duration.

It's very easy to spot Insanity due to the blue glow casting on not just props, but also the main world geometry. Getting chased down by Insanity is essentially game over by the chase victim due to the high speed and chase duration.

## Trivia

* Originally, Insanity was going to have a blue glow, unlike the common boss glow 100, 255, 255, the glow was more dark blue and a less distance, this was quickly changed to a red eye glow, and then reverted to what it originally was.
* Insanity was originally going to be stunnable due to one of the Outside In 2 quotes having a stun quote, but since she was a touch on kill, this was changed to be a flashlight stunnable feature.
* Mentrillum has rigged a new Joy model to have normal mapping, and new bone weights, supporting new animations for the Modern version back in 2017.
* Insanity's search and chase themes were changed 3 to 4 times, to the point where both themes are more fitting than the previous ones.
* Insanity's updated model was made by Steam user Cally3D.
* Insanity is one of the oldest ideas from Mentrillum, being an idea since 2016 and is the oldest surviving boss from Mentrillum being created in January of 2017.
* The name "Insanity" actually came from a DeviantArt piece where it featured a differing style of Outside In 2's Joy saying one of the same quotes from the short film.
