Cane

### Special Effect

Discover hunter/s and survivor/s around the map, improves vision, highlights undecoded cipher machines. Make Hunter's Action more slowly

The **Cane**is a tool and item featured in Identity V. It is wielded by Helena Adams, The Mind's Eye. It cannot be obtained by other survivors, similar to the Dancer’s music box, the Priestess’s Holy Key, and the Cowboy’s lasso. Unlike some exclusive items it will never disappear, but it does have a cooldown between uses.

## Gameplay

The cane can be used to locate the hunter. If the player decides to use the main ability of the stick, the hunter can be seen from anywhere in the map. The player's teammates may also see the hunter's outline and run away from danger if the hunter approaches their area. If the player is walking or running, they will be able to see things from a farther distance. If the hunter is directly behind a wall and the player is walking or running, the player will be able to see the hunter's outline temporarily. Due to this special trait, if she is being pursued by the hunter, the best place to kite them is in the smaller main buildings.

## Appearance

The cane is long, almost the height of a normal survivor. The cane itself is wooden, and has a golden case attached to the top of the cane which contains a blue gem.
