Questionnaire about the monsters in the new map

Hello everyone!

I'm thinking of introducing a new monster in the new map, but I'm still wondering about that.

I'm not sure if I want a doll-type monster, or a completely different killer or ghost-type monster.

So I've prepared a questionnaire form to get your opinions.
If you could fill out the form by clicking on the link below, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much.

Consideration of adding a new map

Hello everyone!
Thank you for enjoying the game!
Thanks to your feedback, the game is being improved little by little.

I am currently thinking of starting work on adding a new map.
The approximate shape of the game rules for the new map has been decided, so I'll let you know.

Overview


・Considering adding new maps.
・New maps will be added in free updates.
・The new map will have new game rules.

Previous maps.
The previous map was a mission to destroy a cursed statue, and had a lot of running, hiding, and action elements.

New Map.
In the new map, we'd like to reduce the action elements a bit and increase the strategic elements.
In other words, it's all about using the gimmicks in the map to win.

For the time being, we would like to create a new map based on the following ideas.
・Eliminate items and use the gimmicks in the map.
・Players can use gimmicks in the map to guide enemies.
・If the enemy spots you, you can only escape if you meet certain conditions.

The gameplay will be different from before.
The above information alone is vague, but if you feel free to comment on anything, it would be appreciated.
Comments such as "It would be interesting to have such a rule!" Are also welcome.

Also, since this is a personal development, it may take a while to add maps.
I would appreciate it if you could wait patiently.

Thank you for your continued support.
