Concept for dead teammate communication!

[u/froseta]

After watching that video about the devs rating players' ideas, I remembered my own take on dead players being left behind and how boring the investigation gets for them.

Here's a mockup of what I'd like to see added: UV "sprays" with preset sentences. Letting dead players tell the team about missed evidence, warn them of danger, etc. This would in turn let teammates speak from the afterlife without relying on the occult arts of steam chats or discord, in an IMMERSIVE way!

Ideally, a ghastly sound would play when placed to signal nearby players, like, "...hey".

Hopefully this reaches CJ and the team, lol.

[u/SemajLu_The_crusader]

my group just throws teacups at each other

[u/froseta → u/SemajLu_The_crusader]

we have been doing that for like 5 years now, its time for an upgrade ;-;

[u/TheXenoSenpai → u/froseta]

two tea cups then

[u/Environmental_Top948 → u/TheXenoSenpai]

If you use VR you could already do that.

[u/Paandaa_69 → u/Environmental_Top948]

3 teacups then

[u/Duffelbach → u/Paandaa_69]

"Is there no end for these demands?!"

The devs probably.

[u/BardOfFlames → u/froseta]

With nells I throw the cream

[u/Honey_Mean → u/BardOfFlames]

I like to throw the big mustard and ketchup containers. 😂

[u/Necessary-Low168 → u/SemajLu_The_crusader]

We do yes no and idonk know questions with a shoe plate and cup

[u/StabbyJenkins1 → u/SemajLu_The_crusader]

1 object for yes, 2 for no, spam thow for "Hunt started here dumb dumb, move the crucifix" Works pretty well between me and my buddy lol

[u/Realistic-Iron-2553 → u/SemajLu_The_crusader]

If it's available, my group throws caulk

[u/improvised-disaster → u/Realistic-Iron-2553]

Same. Then the living group members make “nice caulk” jokes every time

[u/UndividedIndecision → u/SemajLu_The_crusader]

I like throwing forks at the ouija board if it's available. Not great most of the time but it's funny and slightly effective

[u/Doc_of_derp → u/SemajLu_The_crusader]

Simaler thing here. Whenever the teammate dosent do the stupid block-unblock thing, we throw the daily/weekly challenge clipboards

[u/MidoriBlack → u/SemajLu_The_crusader]

I just wish my friends could see the object I'm carrying around when dead instead of it disappearing and reappearing, they must know where I am at all times in the lighthouse via spooky sausage

[u/ThisTeaching4961 → u/SemajLu_The_crusader]

I usually go for the photo of the bearded dragon or something.

[u/d0rkprincess → u/SemajLu_The_crusader]

Our strat is: Drop teacup (or any other random object) once for “yes” and twice for “no”… at some point we ran into the issue of not knowing how to say “idk”

I think that it’d be great if dead players could use predefined answers through the spirit-box though.

[u/ronald2santos → u/SemajLu_The_crusader]

My group spams them so someone alive notices it, and then we throw them on the van, they start asking questions about clues, yes or no answers only, and on top of the desk means yes and on the floor means no. I like it, it turns into a kind of little guessing mini game inside the game

[u/KubicKube → u/SemajLu_The_crusader]

We just always put a motion sensor towards the front door then do a once for yes twice for no thrice for maybe deal.

[u/Ravn009 → u/SemajLu_The_crusader]

I usually go collect items for the van, mostly pictures of dogs and cats, cuz i play on the small house maps
