Lovecraftian Killer concept

So I have been thinking about a lovecraft inspired killer and while i know this will never be added to the game. I did have some fun making it so i decided to share

𝗧𝗡𝗲 𝗛𝗼𝗿𝗿𝗼𝗿

A cultist who's body underwent an unfathomable transformation through his worship of an Old One. Eventually the village where it lived found and slayed the horror. But in death it found a new god to worship.

The horror is a standerd 115% ms and 32m terror radius killer

Passive effect: survivors who look at The Horror, it's projection or dilusions gradually gain terror. When the terror is filled or when hit by a basic attack the survivor suffer from the Horrified status effect for 30 seconds

A Horrified survivor is dilusional and sees all other survivors as The Horror. Other survivors also gain a terror radius. Being inside a terror radius pauzes the recovery of this effect

Primary ability: pressing Mouse2 allows the horror to leave a astral projection of itself behind. The projection has a terror radius. Survivors can remove a projection by looking at it for a duration

Secondary power: Hitting a Horrified survivor allows The Horror to visably grow a tentacle to a maximum of 4. It also passivly gains tentacles when there are Horrified survivors. At a faster rate the more there are.

When you press the alternitive power button The Horror will enter a stance which allows it to attack with it's tentacles in a sweeping motion in front of it. Mouse 1 to sweep from left to right and mouse 2 to sweep from right to left. Reaching further the longer the button is pressed. While blocked by obstacles the sweeping arc can hit around corners when positioned properly.

Eldritch Abomination

Status effects you apply have a 10/20/30% increased duration

Unending Terror

You become obsessed with a survivor. Everytime your obsession gains a status effect gain a token to a maximum of 4/6/8 tokens. When the exit gates are powered, one gate's lever is blocked for 15s per token. The end game crisis timer is pauzed for this duration

Occult Perseverance

While in chase, you gain a stackable 10% buff to action speed for every survivor in your terror radius

    This sounds amazing imo, unending terror plus remember me would be a really damn scary combo.

    And I really like the horrified effect but sounds too good to make it in here....

    I like this a lot, it's pretty cool. A great way to make an alternate 'doctor' style killer. Would love this in the game.

    I like this too. The tentacle thing might need some tweaking, it's hard to see that working without bugs and also not feeling like BS when you're hit by it. And do the tentacles disappear after use? otherwise it's trivial to get 4 tentacles up and running for the whole match

    Aaw woops forgot to mention it. The tentacles are consumed on use yes

    I think giving all survivors the killer character model would also be quite a chore to code

    Just imagine the bugs that could cause
