Block Catching's New Sanity System

Summary

Your Sanity depletes based on your activity in the match, as it drains to 0 , your fear grows until it becomes impossible to hide and can be scented across the map, making your survival far more difficult.

However you are not doomed, Sanity Orbs are spawned at random all over the place, consume one to maintain sanity, but beware, the Catcher can deny any Sanity Orbs that it comes across.

Gameplay

ːsteamthumbsupː Sanity Maintenance - Collect Sanity Orbs at the right time, Idling for too long increases Sanity Loss

ːsteamsadː Sanity Negative - The Catcher can hear you once your Sanity depletes to 0.

ːsteamhappyː Sanity Orb - Recovers Sanity

2nd Map Completion & other improvements

The 2nd map, The School is officially completed and will be available in the full version!

After putting the map together, multiple rounds of testing were conducted with our testers, bug fixes & improvements were made to not only the map but the game such as:

(The School: Open Field)
