New Chapter Concept: - Coming Apart At The Seams

This is my first time ever writing something like this but I had an idea and I thought it’d be fun to run with it and see what everybody else thought. So here we go.
New Killer - The Horde

Name: Olivier Winters

Weapon: Large Scissors

Movement Speed: 110%

Terror Radius: 24 Metres

Appearance: The Horde looks like a naked, white, shop mannequin that has a ‘Silent Hill Nurse’-esque style of jittery, unusual movement. When idle, The Horde has no kind of ‘breathing’ animation and it remains perfectly and completely still. It often has a “Default Pose” which just resembles some basic mannequin-esque pose. It carries a set of large, sharp scissors in one hand.

Memento Mori: The Horde jumps down onto The Survivor’s back and pulls their arms up backwards until you can hear a breaking sound then quickly poses the arms into a mangled position before finally twisting the Survivor’s head backwards to face The Horde before getting off.

Killer Biography:
Olivier Winters always wanted one thing in life; he wanted to be famous. He didn’t care if it made him selfish that it was the only thing that he wanted to have, it was still his goal. It was what he would spend every single waking moment thinking about and he had a plan. He had a keen eye for fashion every since he was young and he knew that his work was the only way that he would ever be noticed in a world like this. He spent everything he had opening a small clothing store of his own, he spent every one of his waking moments designing and building original clothing to sell in his store. Every garment he designed, he would sell with a smile until he finally fell on hard times. His store wasn’t doing so well but he never stopped, his fingers bled and his hands were coarse as he spent every day just for people to ignore his beautiful work. He couldn’t handle it, they were ruining his chances to fame and fortune. He knew what he had to do. With several reports of people going missing as well as the dreadful smell that seeped through the walls of the clothing store in the mall, police had to investigate and were horrified to find the bodies of men and women in Olivier’s workshop, styled and dressed up like mannequins in his pristine, elegant designs. But Olivier was nowhere to be seen.


Killer Ability

Killer Ability
- Soul Transfer
When the game starts, 3 Mannequins (without add-ons) randomly spawn on the map with The Player taking control of one of them. Like the generators, the auras for each of the other Mannequins are marked on the Map for The Horde to see where they are.

The Horde’s ability allows it to “Soul Transfer”, which means that once you are within a reasonable range allows you to swap to another Mannequin on the map, essentially ‘teleporting’ to where the other Mannequin is on the map. There is a short channel time that comes with Soul Transfer and once you move bodies you cannot swap again for 5 seconds (without add-ons). All Mannequins on the map generate a Terror Radius, meaning the Survivors have no idea which one you are currently inhabiting and would have to keep an eye on them to see if they move. The Horde has no red stain and you have to pay very close attention to where the killer is at all times. If you approach an empty Mannequin, you still get the loud heartbeat as though you are standing by the killer.

When The Horde uses “Soul Transfer”, Survivors nearby the Mannequin you have swapped to get a quiet audio indicator that sounds like somebody taking a deep breath. While moving, The Horde makes the sound of cracking plastic as the Mannequins move in a way that is unnatural and uncomfortable to listen to.

Survivors have to pay close attention to the Audio Cues of this Killer and keep their eyes on a Mannequin when nearby in case the Killer uses Soul Transfer to take over its body. Survivors are able to sabotage The Horde's Mannequins; when sabotaged, the mannequin's aura remains the same to The Horde but if Soul Transfer is attempted on it, the Killer is fatigued (similar to The Nurse's Blink) and the Sabotage is used up. This also triggers the cooldown for Soul Transfer.

While Sabotaged, a Mannequin's Head faces in a backwards direction and if The Horde notices the Sabotage, it can be fixed.

New Survivor - Sophia Blurr
Survivor – Sophia Blurr

Gender: Female

Role: Style Icon

Appearance: Sophia would be a beautiful woman with light skin. Her default look has her with a short black bob-style haircut with red lipstick and a black evening gown.

Survivor Biography:

Sophia Blurr has a face that almost everybody could recognise, she’s been on magazines, on TV, ads, on talkshows. Even if you don’t know her by name, you’ll always know her face from somewhere. Born into a well-off family to begin with, it was clear and easy to say she was spoiled if not somewhat determined. She had it all, money, looks, charisma and even the horrible diva attitude to go with it. It didn’t matter too much if there were haters to her because she knew that she was guaranteed to consistently climb the ladder of life and worst-case scenario, she could always pay off a couple of people to look the other way as she made her way up. Going from gig to gig, show to show, she was an icon who would always get her own way and nobody could stop her or slow her down. She gave every part of her personal life to the public and revelled in every moment she could; that was, until a bunch of obsessed fans appeared at her home. She decided to take a step back from the spotlight for a short time and she hasn’t decided to come back just yet.

Survivor Perks
  • Catwalk
    You are much lighter on your feet than most. When outside of the Killer’s Terror Radius, the scratches stay visible for considerably/tremendously less than normal.

    Tier III only: You leave no scratches at all when outside of the Killer’s Terror Radius.


    “It’s all in the hips, darling.” – Sophia Blurr


  • Scared of the Dark
    You’ll do anything to avoid the dark. Searches through Chests are 50/80/100% faster. Any Flashlights found in Chests come with an attached random battery addon.

    Scared of the Dark guarantees a Flashlight on your first completed Chest search.

    “It doesn’t scare me I’m just… uncomfortable.” – Sophia Blurr


  • Hurry my Darling
    You just have to run as fast as you can. When saving an ally from the Hook, both you and the Survivor rescued break into a sprint for 150% of your normal running speed for a maximum of 3 seconds.

    Causes Exhaustion for 60/50/40 seconds.

    “I can run in these heels you know.” – Sophia Blurr
New Map
The map resembles an old-timey mall from the 1950’s in America. The map is entirely indoors and has two separate levels. The map is perfectly square in shape and there are 4 possible spawn locations for the Exit Gates at the North, South, East and West Respectively. In the centre of the map is a large water fountain with a generator in front of it (guaranteed spawn), and when the generator is activated, it turns the water on.

There are open spaces in every direction but different obstacles can be used to hide Survivors and use palettes, such as small food stands, benches, planters and other types of things. Most of the stores can be entered and are interconnected to some extent but are randomly chosen in the grid format every game. There are several staircases inside of the stores that can take survivors upstairs or disabled escalators that can be used to go up and down. Whilst there are barriers on the second floor, survivors can still jump down from some gaps or vault over some parts of the fence.
Olivier’s store has a few dressing rooms in the back, one of which will often have a generator that only one survivor can work on. The basement can spawn both in Olivier’s Store and through a Utility Door on the other side of the map.

The Hooks on this map resemble large coathangers attached to coatrack-type apparatus.
Final Note:
Thanks for reading this!
I spent a couple of hours working on this since I was bored and I’ve been sitting on this idea for awhile. I was really inspired by other writers giving their own unique ideas and concepts and stuff like that. Any feedback could be cool, too!
Also, like all things posted on the internet, any upvotes would be appreciate.

I threw all the graphics together pretty quickly. So I don't own any of the base images but I did do all the editing work, writing and structuring alone.

new chapter leaked...?

Catwalk is just better Lightweight (as MadPiper has said) and Hex: Wardrobe Malfunction has a few flaws.
1. Aura reading abilities towards you are blocked in lockers.
2. There is no reason it should be a hex.
3. Iron Maiden is much, much better.
wunderland 23 Sep, 2019 @ 8:52pm 
if this becomes i thing im uninstalling because fuck mannequins
MadPiper 7 Mar, 2019 @ 6:04pm 
catwalk is just a better version of lightweight.
HammGrenade 28 Jan, 2019 @ 10:43pm

I LOVE IT ALL! The perks are balenced and the killer's ability is balenced! Addons could use some work like others have been saying, but I would like this if this was an acutal chapter
