Update 0.2.6 Patch Notes
New Legends
Psycho Phil
Once was a stock room assistant turned into a chainsaw wielding maniac with an unhealthy attachment to dolls.
Chainsaw The Chainsaw Phil uses is the most deadly melee weapon in the game. It will devour their HP if within range. The Cast should be very weary of fighting Phil in melee combat.
Crossbow Phil is also equipped with a Crossbow. Perfect for sniping Cast and completely exhausting their stamina. If your having trouble catching up to a Cast member try taking a few pot shots.
Dolly Dolly is Phil's special friend. Dolly will hype Phil up by giving Phil a minor HP regeneration period and pull Phil out of exhaustion. This can be done only so many times however.
Corey Sisley
Once a toy-maker herself, now haunts her very own failed line of Anny Nanny dolls as her own personal hell and she is going to take it out on the Cast.
Knife Attack Straight forward and to the point. A wise man once said. "A true classic never goes out of style"
Knife Throw Great for softening them up before you charge in for the kill.
Decoys. Both Corey and Phil use Doll decoys on the map to track their prey. The decoys will light up when a Cast member is within 30 meters of one. The Cast can destroy the decoys and receive a small Fate Reward but it will reveal them if they do.
Doll Mode Corey can actually hide among-st her doll decoys using the Doll Mode ability. Press 3 then crouch to blend right it. Try not to move when the cast are nearby or else you'll give yourself away.

Cabin
This map is now 3 times larger and includes a new spawn location for the Cast.

We opened up the maze and added additional greenhouses and points of interest on the map.

Doors are effected by lag. If you are playing with someone with a very high ping doors may act a little strange. We are currently looking into fixing this for later updates.

We didn't have time to create a Werewolf Game Guide, but don't worry its in the works and should be out soon!
New Map delayed.
I'm sorry to announce this but, the new progression system was a lot more work then we initially anticipated. Which means that the new map has been pushed back for a week or two. More info on this coming soon. Hopefully there is enough here to keep you occupied while you wait for the new map. Thank you for your patience!
