🔧 Dev Log #3 – Flashlight, Cooldowns & Fear

Hey survivors!
This update brings a wave of new mechanics to push the horror even further — here's what's new:

💡 Flashlight System Overhaul

• 🔦 Turns off after 5 seconds of use
• ⏳ Then blinks and goes on a 5-second cooldown
• 🧠 Strategize when to use it… or be left in the dark (literally)

🧠 Small But Scary Tweaks

• Added fear-based events: light flickers, strange whispers (coming soon)
• Cleaned up controls and made them more intuitive
• Better network sync for light usage

🕹 Updated Controls

• Right Mouse Button – Use flashlight
• F – Pick up traps or weapons
• G – Place them down
• C – Crouch
• Shift – Sprint
• …Full list in the game page description!

🚧 Coming Soon

• More trap types
• Environmental scares
• Early voice system (breathing, screams, taunts)
• New map in development 👀
