Hide and Seek; Sonic.EXE Chapter

New killer: The Glitch (Sonic.EXE)

Weapon: A bloody wooden stake with a few traces of yellow fur.

A sadistic, incomprehensible monster taking the form of a beloved video game character, the Glitch desires nothing more than to cause fear and suffering in humans, so when He caught wind of the Entity's game, they made a deal so terrible Heaven and Hell quaked in fear.

Active Power: His Game

Whatever you do, don't play. It's what He wants.... Seven computer monitors will appear and periodically move to random spots throughout the trial. When a monitor is within the Glitch's terror radius, the screen will show a white static. By pressing the primary power button while standing next to a monitor, the Glitch can enter it. While in this state, the Glitch can look through the screen, change which monitor they're looking through, and exit the current monitor by pressing the power button again. Also, while the Glitch is in this state, all screens will show a red static except for the one that the Glitch is looking through, which will show their face. Survivors can also interact with the monitors , which will cause several difficult skill checks to appear. If successfully completed, the monitor will shut down, leaving it unusable for 2 minutes. If the survivor fails, their aura will be shown for 5 seconds and will apply the Oblivious status effect.

Passive Power: Plane of Caprice

This abyssal realm has now grown even darker. If the Glitch exits a monitor while a survivor is in a range of 32 meters, a fear meter next to the survivor's icon will fill up by 25 percent. This bar also slowly fills up naturally. This bar has two uses, with both becoming active while it is full. When a survivor has a full fear meter, they will begin to hallucinate copies of the Glitch, similar to the Doctor. But, if the Glitch presses the secondary power button, all survivors with a full fear meter will be jumpscared, obscuring their vision for ten seconds and revealing their aura for five.

Killer Perks:

Round Two: You enjoy chasing down your victims even more the second time. If a survivor is hooked but they survive, you receive a 2 percent speed increase when you get in a chase with them, or a 5 percent speed increase if they are the Obsession.

So Many Souls: Wouldn't you agree? When a survivor is hooked, sacrificed, or mori'd, gain a token for a maximum of 5 tokens. If you have 5 tokens, your next attack will instantly down the survivor. This causes you to lose all your tokens.

I AM GOD: They are merely playthings to you, and they cannot escape no matter how hard they try. When the gates are opened, they will be blocked by the Entity for 5 minutes, all survivor auras are revealed to you for 15 seconds, and you receive a 6 percent speed increase.

Mori: The Glitch chops off the survivor's head with their bare hands, impales the head on the stake, and plants it into the ground, at which point the Glitch conjures another one.

New Survivor: Tom

An ordinary man who lived an ordinary life, Tom was a big fan of Sonic the Hedgehog, a video game icon. However, his life was forever changed when he received a strange package. It contained a disc with "Sonic.EXE" written on it in permanent marker and a letter from his best friend Kyle warning him not to play the game. Unfortunately, Tom was none the wiser and put the disc in his computer, and several horrible events took place. Eventually, Tom managed to best that horrid creature, and he was never the same since. He did not respond much to fear, and had terrible nightmares. Now forced to be hunted down over and over again for the sick pleasure of others, Tom is more than ready for the next game with his tormentor.

Survivor Perks:

Quick Thinking: Your reaction times have been sharpened thoroughly through your hobbies. When injured, your vault and pallet animations are 3 percent faster.

Nightmares: The trauma you've endured in the past has dulled your sense of fear. When you get in a chase, gain a token. If you have 5 tokens, you can wriggle free of the killer 3 percent faster. If you have 10 tokens, your chance of freeing yourself from a hook is increased by 5 percent. Either of these actions will cause you to lose all your tokens.

Under Pressure: Not even the thought of Death reaching his cold hand out to you does not stifle your nerves. When afflicted by a negative status effect, you fix generators at 103 percent their base speed, which increases by 3 percent for every negative status effect you endure.

New Map: Green Hell

Once a peaceful, vibrant plain rich with life, it has now been corrupted by the Glitch, leaving nothing but black grass, raging fires, and the corpses of the animals that once called this place home.
