[h3]Spectral Scream Major Update: "If they don't see you, they won't catch you."[/h3][p]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'.[/p][p][/p][h3]Creature AI System Renewal[/h3]

1. [p]Vision-based Detection[/p]
   • [p]From range-based detection → Changed to vision-based recognition[/p]
   • [p]Creatures react by judging viewing angle, distance, and degree of exposure[/p]
   • [p]Brief exposure at the edge of vision leads to 'suspicious state', direct frontal exposure immediately starts pursuit[/p]
   • [p]Moving quietly from behind may result in not being detected[/p][p][/p]
2. [p]Auditory System Improvement[/p]
   • [p]From reacting to all sounds → Changed to focus on repetitive and loud sounds[/p]
   • [p]Reduced excessive reactions to footsteps, door opening/closing sounds, etc.[/p]
   • [p]More realistic and strategic sound gameplay possible[/p][p][/p]
3. [p]Pursuit and Search Logic Improvement[/p]
   • [p]Pursuit stops when the player exits the field of vision[/p]
   • [p]Returns to initial state if search fails after a certain time[/p]
   • [p]Official support for stealth/cover play: pillars, cabinets, behind doors, etc. can be utilized[/p][p][/p]

[p][/p][h3]Gameplay Effects[/h3]

1. [p]Solo Play Improvement: Survival through stealth possible without items[/p]
2. [p]Strategy Enhancement: Various options available such as combat, evasion, stealth[/p]

[p][/p][h3]New Accessories & Costumes[/h3]

1. [p]Added 'Tiger Mask', 'Underworld Tiger Mask'[/p]
   • [p]Tiger Mask[/p][p][/p]
   • [p]Underworld Tiger Mask[/p][p][/p]
2. [p]Added 'Grim Reaper Outfit' set[/p]
   • [p]Grim Reaper Outfit[/p][p][/p]

[p][/p][h3]Other Changes[/h3]

1. [p]Fixed some anomalies[/p]
2. [p]Game stabilization and performance improvement[/p]
3. [p]Loading speed and multicore performance optimization[/p]

[p][/p][h2]Development Team Comment[/h2][p]"This update will be the turning point where players transform from 'beings that flee' to 'beings that judge and hide'."[/p][p]– Spectral Scream Development Team[/p]

[h2]"Now I'm... too tired to just keep running!"[/h2][p]Are you tired of running away?[/p][p]Now you can not only 'run' but also 'hide' from the creatures.[/p][p]Spectral Scream's Creature AI is being completely renewed.[/p][p]The ones that chased you now see, hear, and judge.[/p][hr][/hr][h2]1. Vision System Overhaul[/h2][p]You won't be detected simply for being close anymore![/p]

• [p]Creatures now recognize the player's 'line of sight' and 'exposure level'.[/p]
• [p]Brush past them slightly and they'll be 'suspicious', face them head-on and 'immediate pursuit' follows.[/p]
• [p]Sneak behind them quietly... they might not notice. (Really.)[/p][p][/p]

[hr][/hr][h2]2. Audio System Improvement[/h2][p]The creatures that overreacted to every sound have finally covered their ears a bit.[/p]

• [p]Now they only react to loud or repetitive sounds.[/p]
• [p]They react with a delay to door opening/closing sounds or light footsteps.
  [/p]

[hr][/hr][h2]3. Stealth Gameplay Available[/h2][p]Now hiding is also a strategy.[/p][p]Behind pillars, inside cabinets, behind doors... anywhere can be your hiding spot.[/p]

• [p]New horror where survival is possible without combat, experience it yourself.[/p][p][/p][p][/p]

[hr][/hr][p]Spectral Scream's new update is coming soon.[/p][p]This time, not just 'fear' but 'nerve-wracking tension' might overwhelm you.[/p][p]Experience the upcoming evolution of stealth-based horror for yourself.[/p][hr][/hr][p]"The goal of this update was to move away from simple 'run-away horror'[/p][p]and create 'observing and hiding horror'."[/p][p]– Spectral Scream Development Team[/p]
