Gameplay features a generic chaser enemy that employs an unfair teleportation mechanic, making it difficult for players to avoid encounters. Players can choose between stealth, which is more effective, or engaging in a risky chase.
- “You can either use stealth (which is more effective since it doesn't use sound), or risk getting chased with its mechanic.”
- “The enemy/monster is one of those generic chasers; however, it has a mechanic that makes it teleport in front of you without warning, which is completely unfair and leaves you with almost no chance of avoiding it.”
- “You can either use stealth (which is more effective since it doesn't use sound detection), or risk getting chased with its mechanic.”
