STOIC Ent.

Spectral Scream Major Update: "If they don't see you, they won't catch you."

The horror of Spectral Scream has evolved even further. In this update, the creature AI system has been completely revamped , and now players can experience a new stealth horror where they truly 'are seen, hide, and escape'.

Creature AI System Renewal

Vision-based Detection

From range-based detection → Changed to vision-based recognition Creatures react by judging viewing angle, distance, and degree of exposure Brief exposure at the edge of vision leads to 'suspicious state', direct frontal exposure immediately starts pursuit Moving quietly from behind may result in not being detected

Auditory System Improvement

From reacting to all sounds → Changed to focus on repetitive and loud sounds Reduced excessive reactions to footsteps, door opening/closing sounds, etc. More realistic and strategic sound gameplay possible

Pursuit and Search Logic Improvement

Pursuit stops when the player exits the field of vision Returns to initial state if search fails after a certain time Official support for stealth/cover play: pillars, cabinets, behind doors, etc. can be utilized

Gameplay Effects

Solo Play Improvement : Survival through stealth possible without items Strategy Enhancement : Various options available such as combat, evasion, stealth
