[New Survivors]
Name: Ada Mesmer
Identity: "Psychologist"
Introduction: After leaving the asylum, healing Emil became Ada's most important goal in life. In order to awaken Emil's "love" and find more effective treatment methods, she readily accepted an invitation from an old acquaintance.
External Traits:
- Empathize: Carries a whistle capable of hypnotizing teammates during a match. Hypnotized teammates are forced to empathize with the "Psychologist," reducing their Fear while increasing her own Fear. This process lasts for 5 seconds, during which the empathized are unable to move, interact, or use items. Giving out commands exhausts the "Psychologist." Each time the "Psychologist" induces hypnosis with her whistle, the time required for her to be healed is increased by 10%, up to a maximum of 50%.
- Stress: When her Fear increases, the "Psychologist" undergoes a Stress reaction, regulating her mental condition. For the next 40 seconds, her Fear declines over time (by half at most). While Stressed, she cannot be healed by other Survivors, use Syringes, or drink alcohol.
- Bonded: The "Psychologist" and the Patient share a strong bond. When the Patient is within a certain range of the "Psychologist," the "Psychologist" can sprint to the Patient. Similarly, the Patient can also sprint to the "Psychologist."
Name: Emil
Identity: Patient
Introduction: After escaping from the asylum, Emil became an object of curiosity for Ada's research, choosing to accept Ada's treatment than face those fragmented and painful memories. Unconditional obedience, protection, dependence... These were his unique ways of forming a bond with his lover.
External Traits:
- By Hook or By Crook: The Patient carries grappling hooks made from his old restraints as escape tools. He can fire a grappling hook at an obstacle and pull himself to the obstacle. When hitting the top of a thin obstacle, the Patient can vault over it. If the Patient hits any other parts of the obstacle, he kicks it with force and leaps in the direction of the camera.
- Emotional Attachment: The Patient has a profound attachment to the "Psychologist." When the "Psychologist" is placed on a Rocket Chair, the Patient's interaction speed when rescuing her is increased by 50%. However, when interacting with other female characters, the Patient suffers from anxiety. When decoding Cipher Machines with female Survivors other than the "Psychologist," the Patient's decoding speed is reduced by 30%.
- Bonded: The Patient and the "Psychologist" share a strong bond. When the "Psychologist" is within a certain range of the Patient, the Patient can sprint to the "Psychologist." Similarly, the "Psychologist" can also sprint to the Patient.
[Events]
- The "Ten Days of Memories" Event has begun. The event is divided into three parts: "Encounter," "Three-Day Plan," and "Escape." Detectives can choose between the "Psychologist" and the Patient, delve into their respective memories of that dimly-lit room, and uncover the truth about their pasts in the White Sand Street Asylum.
- Detective must complete check-ins, investigations, and battle quests to advance the story and receive the following rewards: S17 Essence 2, Emote - Blow Kiss (Female), Emote - Blow Kiss (Male), the "Psychologist" and the Patient's exclusive Graffiti, and more!
- Different choices made during the story's progression will affect the outcome in [Part 3: Escape]! (Selecting different characters and choices will only affect the order in which rewards are received, and will not prevent players from obtaining all event rewards.)
Event Period: August 12, 2021 (after maintenance) - August 25, 2021, 23:59
[The Battle for the Final IVC-Southeast Asia Spots Begins]
——The IVC-Southeast Asia preliminaries are officially over, the following 8 Clubs for making it to the Group Stage:
MadPenguins, ɢн, CZ`, GSミ, ZK_Teakwork, Ethereal°, Яename_, ECT;
——This week sees the start of the Wild Card Stage. Clubs that failed to advance during the preliminaries will be able to compete for the remaining three IVC-Southeast Asia spots.
[Battle]
- Updated the External Trait description for the varied durations of the Seer's Owl when multiple Seers are in a match.
- Optimized the display logic of the icons in the upper-left corner of the screen. The icon will now prioritize the display of the Hunter Talent, Tinnitus.
- Added a quick-message prompt for item status. When players add item status to their in-game quick-message settings, they can broadcast it to their teammates during a match (e.g., remaining usage, durability, cooldown, etc.). However, the item status does not apply to non-competitive game modes.
- Optimized the judgment when hitting certain scene objects in parts of Eversleeping Town.
[Experience Optimizations]
- Optimized the Enchantress's S Accessory - Cursed Cloud: Increased the electrical light effect when a Hunter was paralyzed by the Guard. When the Enchantress uses her Guards to paralyze Hunters, the dagger in her hand now becomes a lightning bolt. Adjusted the eye color of the Guard when unleashing curses. When a Guard stack is added, the Cursed Cloud's model gains a single electrical light effect. At 3 or more Guard stacks, the Cursed Cloud's model gains a continuous electrical light effect.
- Improved the model texture resolution for the Grave Keeper's S Costume "Desolate Sand."
- Improved the appearance of the "Prisoner's" Electrical Area in Tarot Mode and Crystal Ball Mode. The Electrical Area will now only be visible to the enemy Knight and allied Survivors, and will no longer affect the allied Knight.
[Bug Fixes]
- Fixed an issue with the Entomologist when equipped with the "Dew" Accessory, where disconnecting and reconnecting would cause the beeswax special effect to disappear.
- Fixed an issue with the Geisha's Costume "Lady Thirteen" where her fur boa's brightness appeared too high in certain parts of the Room.
- Fixed an issue in Performance/Efficiency Modes where characters on certain maps displayed too darkly after activating the Ambient Lighting.
- Fixed an issue in Arms Factory and Leo's Memory where the Priestess could open Straight Passages through the air at certain locations.
- Fixed an issue in the PC version where the Dream Witch's Followers could not use the Teleport ability in certain situations.
- Fixed an issue where the Dream Witch's Followers would keep moving forward without stopping while the player was controlling a Follower.
- Fixed an issue where, if the Photographer was bumped by the Wildling while inside his Camera World, the Survivor being held by the Photographer in the Camera World would begin to struggle.
- Fixed an issue where, if Axe Boy strayed from the Restful Road while holding down the Tier 1 ability button, his actions would display abnormally.
- Fixed an issue with the Dancer's Costume "Tiger Butterfly" where the in-game animation of her Whipcrack emote wasn't displaying the whip.
- Fixed an issue where the spawn locations of Hell Ember's Puppets were inconsistent with the displayed positions in Survivors' camera.
- Fixed an issue with Naiad where the animations for Slipstream would display abnormally if she disconnected and reconnected while the Slipstream was activating.
- Fixed an issue in the Records interface that prevented players from saving a replay of the match.
- Fixed an issue in the PC version where the Batter could not share his chest-opening progress via quick message while on Rampage.
- Fixed an issue where, if Hunters moved while using abilities, it would sometimes display the ability animations multiple times.
- Fixed an issue where the Entomologist would still be hit by "the Ripper's" Fog Blade when she was surrounded by a Swarm of Insects in some circumstances.
Negative Play and Cheating Penalties
It has recently come to our attention that a small number of players have been found guilty of non-participation, negative play, and cheating, all of which significantly affect the experience of other players and threaten the game's fairness. In the future, we will intensify the punishments for such behaviors in order to provide a healthy gaming environment for everyone. We also encourage you to use the in-game reporting system to provide us with feedback when encountering negative behavior. Let us work together to maintain order and integrity in the Manor.
