Backstory Those who are lost in their nightmares will be captured by Yidhra and sent into a dream she constructed—a bizarre racecourse. She will select an agile, lucky, and capable champion to become the missionary on her behalf. The losers will stay in this dream and receive eternal torture by Yidhra's Followers. B. Introduction Gameplay: [Chasing Shadows] consists of 6 players who are tasked with clearing the Dream Witch's racecourse and reaching the Exit Gate at the finish line. Map Route: In the dream constructed by the Dream Witch, players must proceed along a set route and go through the racecourse twice. Once the first player gets to the finish line, there will be a 20-second countdown before the race comes to an end. Point Rules: The 6 players will either complete the race solo or in a team. For [Solo Mode], players will be ranked according to their finishing time. For [Team Mode], players will form teams of two and teams will be ranked based on the total ranking points gained by the two players in a team. The first place player will receive bonus points if they win by 10 seconds or more. Character Limitations: All Survivor characters can participate in the races, but they can't carry any items. All characters' Movement Speed and Interaction Speed will also be balanced. C. About the Items There are item spawn points on the map. Players can touch them to obtain a random item. Once an item spawn point has been touched and refreshed, each subsequent refreshing will have longer intervals. The random items available include Elbow Pads, Flare Guns, Lassoes, Magnets, Smoke Bottles, Mud Bottles, Shields, etc. Utilize these items to disrupt other players or clear the stages quickly. Each player has 2 item slots. If the player obtains a new item when both of the 2 slots are filled, the item obtained the earliest will be replaced by default. D. About the Stages The terrain of the racecourse has been altered by the Dream Witch to include traps such as moving walls, spinning walls, repulsion pallets, trampolines, etc. Players must adapt to these traps in order to win. Other Hunters may also appear and attack players in each race! Rumor has it that the "Ripper" and the Feaster is making an appearance on the first week. Watch out for their fast-moving Fog Blades and sneaky Tentacles! E. Detail Adjustments The abilities of characters and items in this mode are adjusted by the Dream Witch. The types of items available and details of their adjustments are as follows: Elbow Pads: Gain a directional acceleration by touching the wall. Usage: 1. Lasso: Can be used by all characters. Usage: 1. Magnet: Two Magnets with the same polarity can be thrown out at the same time. Usage: 1. Flare Gun: One shot will be fired at the frontrunner by default. The frontrunner will be stunned for 3 seconds upon being hit. Effective only against non-teammates in team races. Shield: Use it to block incoming damage or directional ability once. The Shield will be effective for 5 seconds. Smoke Bottle: Emits a smokescreen to obstruct other players' view. Mud Bottle: Once it is thrown, it will shatter and leave a huge area of mud on the ground. The movement speed of players who walk on the mud will be significantly reduced. Rugby Ball: Its duration is adjusted as 2 seconds. When the sixth place player is too far behind the next player, they will gain a 10-second speed boost (this boost has a 20-second cooldown). Try to catch up! Battle If Quenching Effect becomes ineffective within 50 seconds, the boost icon on the top left corner will disappear instead of continuing with the countdown. In Tarot mode, Knights can no longer destroy Music Boxes placed by Survivors in their faction.

He will now return to the ground directly instead of getting into a landing status. The Breaking Wheel Adjustments Survivors can now remove Pierce for themselves.

Pierce inflicted by the Breaking Wheel's Tier 2 Ability "Ridicule" can only be effective once every 30 seconds. [Guild] Added an option to disband a Guild. A Guild can be disbanded when only the Chairman remains in the Guild. Once a Guild is disbanded, all of its data can't be recovered.

Players' Personal Activity Points will be kept when they have been kicked out of a Guild, and their check-in count and weekly activity limit will no longer be reset. However, when they join a new Guild, this portion of their Personal Activity Points won't be counted toward the new Guild's Guild Activity Points. When players are kicked out of their Guild, their contributions during the current week will be deducted from the Guild Activity Points, but their prior contributions will remain. When a player quits their Guild voluntarily, the Guild will permanently keep their Activity Points contributions prior to the current week permanently, while their Activity Points contributions for the current week will be kept temporarily. New members of the Guild will first make up for such temporarily-kept Activity Points before contributing new Activity Points. Activity Points will be tallied at 00:00 every Monday. (For example, if a player quits their Guild right before 00:00 on Monday or before the Season ends, the Guild's total Activity Points won't be affected.)

The shades and colors of character models will change along with the ambient lighting. On top of the original categories of portraits (i.e., "Special" and "Event"), new categories, "Dynamic," "Crossover," and "Character," have been added. At the same time, some of the portraits have been re-categorized and rearranged so that it'll make more sense when players search for their portraits. Added an option to "Save settings to cloud." In Settings - Save, players can upload or download in-game settings for the account they're using with a single tap. All function settings for [Battle], [Operation], [Display], and [Push] are included (shortcuts in the PC version and custom interface settings excluded). Added an option in the PC version to "Save shortcuts to cloud." "Upload to cloud" and "Download from cloud" buttons have been added to the shortcuts setting interface, which can be used to upload or download the current account's shortcut settings with a single tap. When a player runs the game with the same account on a different client, the red dots which have already disappeared in Settings won't appear again. Improved the gyroscope animation in the Login interface. Improved the functions description page in the Room. Improved the animation of the Gamekeeper's Chain Hook when it hits a Survivor.

You take a toy from the Surprise Box and make up a story about it before the candle goes out. But, who knows... Perhaps the "stories" are about more than just the toys. Check-in during the event to obtain Mr. Inference's Dynamic Graffiti and other amazing rewards! Event Time: June 24 (after maintenance) - July 1 (before maintenance) [Season Essence] [Season Essence]: Season 16 Essence 3 is now available. New Costumes include Naiad's S Costume - Halberd of Silence, Priestess's A Costume - "Pilgrim", and Explorer's A Costume - Treasure Digger. Obtain S Costume - Halberd of Silence to gain the all-new Hunter, Naiad, for free! At 80/130/180 draws, players will receive the following bonus rewards, respectively: [Portrait] Priestess - "Pilgrim"/[Portrait] Explorer - Treasure Digger/[Portrait] Naiad - Halberd of Silence. [New Hunter] Name: Grace Identity: Naiad External Trait: Darkest Depths Grace is completely soaked and has an abnormally low body temperature, leaving small puddles wherever she walks that persist for 20 seconds. When the puddles form an enclosed area, the area becomes a large Abyss that applies 25% Humidity to any Survivors inside, persisting for 20 seconds. This enclosed area cannot be used to form additional enclosed areas with other puddles. Throwing and retrieving Grace's harpoon will always create an enclosed area. [Abyss]: Survivors caught within an Abyss will continuously accumulate 10% Humidity per second (reduced to 5% when near a Survivor on a Rocket Chair). After leaving an Abyss for 7 seconds, Humidity will decrease by 5% per second. Survivors afflicted by Humidity have 10% reduced Vaulting speed and 20% reduced Decoding and Gate Opening speed. After Humidity reaches its maximum, deep-sea creatures will rise from the Abyss and bite Survivors, dealing damage equal to one normal attack. Humidity resets to zero after taking damage from deep-sea creatures and cannot be applied for another 5 seconds. Tier 0 Ability: Spearfishing Hold the ability button to charge and throw Grace's harpoon (tap the button to thrust the harpoon into the ground). The harpoon travels farther the longer the button is held, leaving puddles in its wake. Upon throwing her harpoon, Grace gains Slipstream. Grace swims swiftly like a fish in the water, boosting her movement speed by 30% but preventing her from attacking or interacting with targets. While Slipstream is active, Grace can summon her harpoon back to her, which will leave puddles in its wake. Grace automatically retrieves her harpoon at the end of Slipstream's duration or after its distance from Grace exceeds 42 meters. Tier 1 Ability: Surging Tides Grace dashes in a straight line in the direction the camera is facing, inflicting 30% Humidity to the target hit. It can be used while [Slipstream] is active. Tier 2 Ability: Billowing Waves Survivors hit by [Surging Tides] or caught in an Abyss are inflicted with 50% Humidity. Deduction The Naiad will be available for Deduction.

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.)

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.

Fixed an issue where, if Hunters moved while using abilities, it would sometimes display the ability animations multiple times.

The "Little Girl" can use Memory Fragments while performing Memory Sync. While the "Little Girl's" Memory Sync is activated, Hunters cannot attack her with normal attacks or abilities. If a synced Survivor is knocked down or the "Little Girl" takes damage while using Memory Sync, its effects will be dispelled. The "Little Girl" can also cancel Memory Sync herself, which will grant her and the Survivor a 30% movement speed boost for the next 2 seconds. External Trait 3: Pity "Little Girl" doesn't want those around her to be trapped within a nightmare. She can teleport herself next to any free-moving teammate. "Little Girl" cannot teleport to specified teammates when she stands within a Hunter's Terror radius. As the "Little Girl" vanishes, Hunters can see the "Little Girl's" location before teleporting.

[Unending Nightmare] "Memories" refreshed, yet the nightmare lingers. Gameplay Overview The "Unending Nightmare" is a special game mode where players team against the Hunter, "Nightmare." This game mode challenges players to fight against the "Nightmare" in the Darkwoods map and escape through Exit Gate by decoding the Cipher Machines. Victory is achieved when a certain number of Survivors escape. This game mode comprised of four difficulties—Struggle, Suffering, Madness, and Vanity—with each level harder than the one before. Clearing a phase will unlock the next (server-wide restoration progress must reach 6 million to unlock the Vanity difficulty). About "Nightmare" External Trait [Poaching]: Movement speed is increased when not in pursuit. Tier 0 Ability [Spy]: Spies and locks on a Survivor after keeping the Survivor within the field of vision for a short duration. Normal attack becomes a diving attack. Dive: Makes a dive when launching normal attacks and auto-locks on to the Survivor being spied on. Tier 0 Ability [Raven]: Sends out a Raven forward or toward a Cipher Machine/Rocket Chair with a Survivor on it/an activated Exit Gate. Once the Raven reaches a Cipher Machine, it will hover above it. If a Survivor stands on the Raven's flight path, it will hover above the Survivor and reveal their location for a period of time. Tier 1 Ability [Bad Omen]: Teleports to the location of any Raven. Tier 2 Ability [Hunt]: The time required for activating Spy is significantly reduced. When using Dive twice in a row, it will interrupt the backswing of the first Dive. About Special Mechanics Besides the "Nightmare" itself, an unknown miasma also lurks in Darkwoods. The poisonous miasma can be found in certain areas that inflict players with negative effects. Inflicted players will gradually enter the "Nightmare" status. Once the "Nightmare" progress is complete, players will suffer damage equal to a normal attack. In certain areas where the unknown miasma is at a concentrated level, a "Terrorized" effect will also be triggered. Survivors within a certain radius of the "Terrorized" effect will suffer damage equal to a normal attack. How to Win 2 or more players must escape the Manor to clear the Struggle, Suffering, and Madness difficulty. For the Vanity difficulty, 3 or more players must escape. Vanity's difficulty will gradually decrease as more teams on the server clear it. Character Bans The Novelist, Priestess, Batter, and "Little Girl" is temporarily unavailable for this mode. Team-up Rules Players can enter the Struggle difficulty on their own and the system will match them with AI teammates for the challenge. For Suffering, Madness, and Vanity difficulties, players must form teams of four to enter. Availability: November 12, 2021, 10:00 (UTC+8) - November 18, 2021 (before maintenance).
