## Event Mechanics

### Void Energy

The ultimate goal of the Event Mechanics is for Killers and Survivor to collect *Void Energy*.

*Void Energy* can be gained in four different ways:

* Repairing an **Esoteric Generator**:
	+ Repairing awards **3 Void Energy** every **8 seconds**.
	+ A maximum of **90 Void Energy** can be obtained from repairing Generators.
* Hooking a Survivor on an **Esoteric Hook**:
	+ Hooking awards **6 Void Energy** per Hook.
	+ A maximum of **18 Void Energy** from hooking Survivors.
* Destroying a Pumpkin:
	+ Destroying a *Treat Pumpkin* awards **3 Void Energy**
	+ Destroying a *Neutral Pumpkin* awards **6 Void Energy**
	+ Destroying a *Trick Pumpkin* awards **9 Void Energy**
* Collecting a floating *Void Orb*; these spawn randomly in the environment and award **3 Void Energy**

*Void Energy* can be transferred between the Survivor and the Killer in two different ways:

* Stunning the Killer:
	+ Stunning transfers **3 Void Energy** from the Killer to the Survivor that stunned them.
* Downing Survivors:
	+ Downing transfers **3 Void Energy** to the Killer from the Survivor they downed.

### Unstable Rifts

Players can hold a maximum of **60 Void Energy** at a time, after which they will no longer gain any additional *Void Energy* and see the Aura of a nearby **Unstable Rift**.
At this point, Players are encouraged to bank their *Void Energy* at an **Unstable Rift**, after which they can once again gain new *Void Energy* from the aforementioned interactions.

Players depositing their *Void Energy* into **Unstable Rifts** are rewarded with a **+5 *Haste* Status Effect** for **15 seconds**.

This process is repeatable until a maximum of **30 Void Energy** is banked into **Unstable Rifts**.

As a Killer, when the Trial ends, any **Void Energy** not yet deposited into an **Unstable Rift** will automatically be accounted for and deposited into the **Sky Rift**.

As a Survivor, the same will be true upon escaping the Trial.
If a Survivor dies, however, that energy will be lost.

### Sky Rift

Each Map features a so-called *"Sky Rift"*, a large Rift Portal up in the sky of the Map, akin to the one shown in the main Lobby during the Event, only a lot smaller.
The **Sky Rift** is purely decorative in nature and has no other effect than to, lore-wise, collect any remaining **Void Energy** Players are holding in their inventory and have not managed to deposit into **Unstable Rifts** before escaping the Trial (Survivor) or ending it (Killer).

### Opening the Void

*Haunted by Daylight 2023* features a new objective for both Survivors and Killers.

Interacting with **Unstable Rifts** and depositing *Void Energy* into them will eventually cause all of them to stabilise, opening a pathway into the Void itself.
Players can then enter the Void with a short interaction.

#### Survivors in the Void

Survivors, while in the Void, suffer from a permanent ***Exhaustion* Status Effect** and, if injured, also from the ***Broken* Status Effect**.
If they are hooked in the Void at any point, they are teleported to another Hook outside the Void.

Survivors cannot carry any Limited Item into the Void.

The Void only remains open for a limited time.

#### Killers in the Void

Killers, while in the Void, benefit from a permanent ***Undetectable* Status Effect**, but lose access to their Power, including *Mini-Mori* abilities.

### Releasing Haunts

As the Void only remains open for a limited time, it is advised to release the Haunts whenever possible for a bit of help in the Trials.

When inside the Void, Players can transfer their *Void Energy* into a **Haunt** by approaching it.
Once a **Haunt** has fully leeched enough *Void Energy* to escape (**12 Void Energy**), they are released from the Void.

#### Survivor Haunts

**Haunts** released by a Survivor benefit them with a set of buffs for the next **30 seconds**, which can be carried over to the Overworld:

* Grants a **+10 % *Haste* Status Effect**.
* Grants the ***Endurance* Status Effect**.
* **Increases** the Action speeds for Blessing, Cleansing, Healing and Unlocking by **+20 %**.

Additionally, there is an instantaneous effect in the Void:

* Held Items are recharged to **50 %**.

Once outside of the Void, the allied **Haunt**, with its Aura revealed to all Survivors, awaits temporarily to aid any approaching Survivor one more time with an effect of that Player's choosing:

* Approach the **Haunt** and stay close to it for **2 seconds**, after which it grants a **+15 % *Haste* Status Effect** for the next **3 seconds**.
* Lure the Killer into the **Haunt** mid-chase for a scare, which stuns the Killer for **5 seconds**.

#### Killer Haunts

**Haunts** released by the Killer benefit them with a set of buffs for the next **30 seconds**, which can be carried over to the Overworld:

* Grants a **+10 % *Haste* Status Effect**.
* Grants the ***Undetectable* Status Effect**.
* **Increases** the Action speeds for Breaking, Damaging, and Snuffing by **+20 %**.
* **Reduces** the Cool-down duration for missed *Basic Attacks* by **-20 %**.

Once outside of the Void, the allied **Haunt**, with its Aura revealed to you, awaits temporarily to aid you one more time, with a benefit of your choosing:

* Approach the **Haunt** and stay close to it for **3 seconds**, after which it grants a **+15 % *Haste* Status Effect** for the next **3 seconds**.
* Lure a Survivor into the **Haunt** mid-chase for a scare, which afflicts them with a **-15 % *Hindered* Status Effect** for **3 seconds**.

### Contesting Haunts

When approaching a **Haunt** that was not fully released by the opposing team, it can be contested, slowly draining its release meter until it is empty, at which point the regular release process will start.
