The Butcher’s skills include hunting down other players by following their footsteps, and then grabbing them with his grappling hook. He can also fake the key marker and ambush other players from dark corners, so watch out!
[*] [b]New lighting[/b] - The days are getting shorter and darker, and Raven Brooks is no exception.
New darker lighting can be utilized by the Neighbor for extra sneaky traps and grabs. You can also play hide and seek with the flashlights!
