Killer Concept: Weapons chapter (Aunt Gladys)
The Killer: Aunt Gladys (The Witch / The Sorceress/ The Parasite/ The Influence)
A slow Killer with a small terror radius, capable of oppressing and controlling the actions of survivors through specific rituals. Her perks, MANIPULATIVE RANSOM, HEX: SALT TRESHOLD and I'LL KNOW, allow her to further limit survivor's actions through risks and choices.
Weapon: Harvesting Scissors
Power: RITUALISTIC CONTROL
A power that allows the Killer to decide survivor's actions for a limited time through a ritual based on collecting tufts of hair.
THE TREE spawns in a random location through the map. The killer can always see THE TREE's aura. Interact with THE TREE to collect a BRANCH. You start the trial with 1 BRANCH. Only 1 BRANCH can be held at a time. A new BRANCH spawns every 30 seconds.
Special Attack: SNIP
Toggle and Lunge to perform a shorter attack that collects HAIR on a successful hit. Only one survivor's tuft of HAIR can be held at a time. Hitting another survivor with SNIP while holding HAIR will swap the survivor.
Special Ability: PERFORM RITUAL
When both a BRANCH and HAIR are held, consume both to create a TARGETING RITUAL. Once a TARGETING RITUAL is successfully completed, it will be held in your hand and the survivor whose hair was used will become SUBJUGATED. Ring THE BELL to activate it, after which you will have 10 seconds to choose an action for the PAWN. If no actions are selected, the PAWN will be slowed moderately for 5 seconds and its aura will be revealed to you for 10 seconds. Both The Killer and the PAWN will be immobilized during the choosing time.
Actions:
-WEAPONIZED RAGE: the PAWN will relentlessly pursue the nearest healthy or injured survivor for 30 seconds. If the PAWN reaches the survivor it will inflict one health state. The PAWN can be stunned with pallets during this time.
-PARASITIC SIPHON: The PAWN will be immobilized for 15 seconds. The killer gains extra movement and attack speed during this time. Other survivors can make the PAWN regain consciousness by performing 3 hard, fast skillchecks. The PAWN cannot be hurt during this time.
-GRIEF AND SORROW: the PAWN will direct itself to the nearest hook in a range of ? meters, impaling himself. If In full health, the PAWN will lose one health state. If Injured, the PAWN will be hooked. If no hooks are in range, the slow and aura reveal will be applied. Other survivors can make the PAWN regain consciousness by performing 3 hard, fast skillchecks.

MANIPULATIVE RANSOM
I can make your parents hurt themselves. I can make them hurt each other. I can make them eat each other if I want to. Do I want to, Alex?
You hold Survivors' escape hostage for tribute.
After hooking any Survivor, all Exit Gate Switches are blocked for 20/25/30 seconds.
During this time:
- Interacting with Generators or Gates applies the Oblivious Status Effect to the Survivor for 10 seconds.
- Rescuing the hooked Survivor from the first Hook Stage refunds 50% of the block timer but inflicts Deep Wound on the rescuer.
HEX: SALT TRESHOLD
Don't cross the salt line.
A Hex Totem is created at a random Dull Totem.
You may place up to 3/4/5 Salt Traps on the Trial Ground (interact with pallets, windows, or generators for 5 seconds). Traps are invisible to Survivors.
When a Survivor crosses a Salt Trap (vaults nearby pallet/window or enters 8m radius):
- They gain 1 Salt Stack (max 3 per Survivor) unless they Pay Salt (hold Ability for 2 seconds), which disarms the trap.
Salt Stacks apply:
- 1 Stack: 10% Hindered for 20 seconds.
- 2 Stacks: Mangaled (healing takes 25% longer).
- 3 Stacks: Exposed for 15 seconds.
Cleansing the Totem triggers all active traps, applying 2 stacks to nearby Survivors.
I'LL KNOW
Because I'll know, Alex.
Whenever a Survivor within 24/28/32 meters performs a Cooperative Action (e.g., healing, unhook, sabotage), you see their Aura for 4/5/6 seconds.
If they are carrying an Item, gain a Token (max 5/6/7 Tokens). Each Token increases the range by +4 meters.
Consuming 3 Tokens inflicts the PRESENCE Status Effect on the Survivor and all within 8 meters for 20 seconds: affected Survivors scream, reveal Auras to you, and cannot use Items or Perks requiring Cooperative Actions.
