Dear visitors,
Welcome to Identity V!
Identity V will undergo maintenance on April 20, 2023 at 00:00 (UTC+8) and will take approximately 12 hours to complete. During this time, players will be unable to log in to servers. We ask for your understanding and patience during maintenance.
Maintenance content for this week:

- New update, Ashes of Memory I, is now available. Please update the latest version to access the game, and claim 20 "Season 26 Essence 1" and the all-new Survivor, Reporter (Alice DeRoss) for free!
Availability: April 20, 2023 (after maintenance) - May 30, 2023, 23:59（UTC+8）
- Once Ashes of Memory I is available, players will step into the shoes of Alice DeRoss and investigate the secrets of the manor from the point of view of a reporter. Complete the story to obtain Alice DeRoss's Room Costume "Moment of Leisure."
[New Survivor]
Name: Alice DeRoss
Identity: Reporter
Background: Films are silent, but memories are not.
External Traits:
- Exclusive
The Reporter carries a camera. She can switch between camera angles and generate illusions under different angles.
[Containing Angle]
The illusion will move to a pallet that hasn't been knocked down. When the Hunter is in a position that can be hit by the pallet, the illusion will pull down the pallet and disappear. The recovery speed of the Hunter stunned by the illusion increases by 30%. When the pallet is pulled down early, the illusion will also disappear. The Hunter will take 20% longer to destroy the pallet that was pulled down by the illusion. When the distance between the illusion and a teammate is less than 12 meters, the illusion's depletion speed is increased by 50%. When the illusion is active, casting this ability again will make it disappear.
[Rescuing Angle] When a teammate has been tied to a Rocket Chair and is less than 25 meters from the Reporter, the illusion will move to the closest Rocket Chair and rescue the teammate. If the teammate on the Rocket Chair is rescued by another Survivor, the illusion will disappear. Under this angle, when the illusion is less than 20 meters from the Hunter, its outline will be shown to the Hunter.
Generates an illusion in front of you. Press and hold to charge up and generate an illusion at a specified location. Under the Rescuing Angle, illusions cannot be generated within 5 meters of a Rocket Chair that has a Survivor on it.
- Surveying Angle
The illusion's movement speed and interaction speed are consistent with the Survivor. It can take one normal attack, but the Hunter won't gain any Presence. The recovery speed of the Hunter after hitting the illusion increases by 30%. When either the Reporter or the illusion is hit, both of them will gain a speed boost. If the illusion is hit, the Reporter's speed boost will increase by 1 second. If the Reporter is equipped with the Tide Turner talent and the illusion under the Rescuing Angle has rescued a teammate, the rescued teammate will also receive Tide Turner's effect. When the Reporter and the illusion are less than 8 meters from each other, the Reporter's Movement Speed is increased by 10% (7% increase for the illusion).
- Investigative Reporting
The Reporter hates the sound of metal scraping and so her decoding speed is reduced by 10%. Whenever the illusion is knocked down, the Reporter's decoding speed is further reduced by 3% for up to 9%.
- "Courage"
The Reporter's childhood has bestowed her with exceptional "courage" in the face of terror, decreasing the Rocket Chair's elimination speed by 10%.
