The Hiders 1.3 Update Log

## LET ME IN

The Watcher no longer needs to chase you to make you afraid. Sometimes, it only needs to find your door.

### New Door Encounter

- The Watcher can appear outside a closed wooden door and begin knocking.
- Its voice breaks through the silence, distorted and barely human: **"Let me in."**
- The door slowly cracks as the knocking becomes more violent.
- If the door breaks, a full-screen jumpscare strikes with a new scream and corrupted visual effects.
- The face shakes, flashes, and tears across the screen before suddenly disappearing.
- When the jumpscare ends, the Watcher vanishes with it.

### Silent Sightings

- Surprise monster appearances no longer announce themselves with messages.
- The Watcher can appear behind you without warning.
- Distant figures may vanish the instant you notice them.
- Test commands stay silent when an encounter successfully begins, so they no longer spoil the scare.

### Horror Improvements

- Door encounters now build tension through several stages instead of happening immediately.
- The jumpscare only activates when the Watcher truly breaks the door.
- Darkness and signal corruption make the break-in feel more violent and unpredictable.
- Encounters correctly target the player being haunted in multiplayer.

Do not wait for another warning. There will not be one.
