Gameplay[]
The Mind's Eye starts with her Cane at the beginning of the game and can never be replaced with a different tool.
When running or walking, the cane will tap on the ground and reveal nearby objects within the 10 meter radius. It can also reveals nearby Hunters and their abilities even through obstacles outlined in white from the normal tapping sound. Crouching will cause The Mind's Eye to stop tapping her Cane to the ground, limiting her vision.
The Mind's Eye can activate her Strike manually by striking her Cane hard on the ground and make a loud sound, revealing all the Survivors and Cipher Machines to The Mind's Eye and enhancing her vision temporarily. Striking the Cane can impact the Hunter by revealing their location outlined in red to all Survivors and slowing down the Hunter's interaction speed further, the closer the Hunter is to The Mind's Eye. However due to the game's doppler effect, observant Hunters can use this to determine The Mind's Eye's location.
Other Details[]
- Strike can also reveals the Patroller's location.
- Hunters can also hear the Strike's source of sound due to the game's doppler effect.
- Hunters can use this to their advantage to locate The Mind's Eye.
- The closer the Hunter is, the more effective the Strike, slowing down their interaction speed further by 30%/22%/14% within 8m/30m/∞m.
