Insidious - what if.. (shoutout to Ardetha’s YT for inspiring a thought)
Winging it here.
What if instead of standing still for 2 seconds, you gained a token for each newly hooked survivor (up to a maximum of 4)
or as an alternative.. apply devour hope rules meaning you gain a token whenever someone is unhooked and you are more than 24m away.
Activating Insidious consumes a token and you as the killer are granted the “Insidious status effect” let’s say for up to 30 seconds. Basically you gain a limited buffed version of undetectable except you are immune to detection perks like Premonition or Spine Chill. Breathing sounds of the killer would be muted during the allotted time and also your footsteps would be rendered silent.
The perk cannot be activated within 24m of a hook or lets say it can since it only lasts up to 30 seconds it either has its time cut in half or the cooldown between uses is increased.
So if it could be activated near a hooked survivor it would cut the time immediately to 15 seconds and apply a 180 second cooldown, otherwise you get the full 30 seconds with a cooldown of let’s say 120 seconds.
Like I said.. just winging it after watching Ardetha. It doesn’t have to be an Insidious rework.. maybe a new perk. Maybe the idea completely sucks lol or maybe y’all might want to brainstorm a bit on some concepts just for fun✌️
Feel free to add whatever, it’s all good👍

I like undetectable/oblivious perks and it sounds more interesting than what it is now so 👍
