SHADE

ENTITY • EVIDENCE: EMF • WRITING • FREEZING

← BACK

THE SHADE IS THE SHYEST ENTITY IN THE GAME: IT INTERACTS VERY LITTLE WITH ITS SURROUNDINGS (MAKING IT HARDER TO SPOT THROUGH ACTIVITY) AND NEVER SINGS DURING A SINGING EVENT. IT BECOMES NEARLY INACTIVE AS SOON AS ONE OR MORE PEOPLE ARE IN ITS ROOM — ITS UPSIDE: ITS HUNT THRESHOLD IS LOW (35% AVERAGE SANITY), MAKING IT LESS DANGEROUS THAN MOST OTHERS. IT TRIGGERS THE MIST FORM EVENT MORE OFTEN THAN AVERAGE — A GOOD CLUE IF YOU NOTICE IT.

HOW TO IDENTIFY IT

PRIORITY

IT IS COMPLETELY LOCKED OUT (INTERACTIONS, EVENTS, AND HUNTS) AS LONG AS AT LEAST ONE PLAYER IS IN ITS ROOM — NOT JUST LESS ACTIVE
WHEN THE SUMMONING CIRCLE OR THE MUSIC BOX IS USED, THE SHADE MAY APPEAR IN A SHADOW FORM
IT TENDS TO TRIGGER THE MIST FORM EVENT MORE OFTEN THAN OTHER ENTITIES

HUNTING BEHAVIOR

CAN HUNT AT 35% AVERAGE SANITY
MOVES AT AN INITIAL SPEED OF 1.7 M/S
MOVES AT A MAXIMUM SPEED OF 2.8 M/S

SPECIAL MECHANICS

IT IS THE SHYEST ENTITY IN THE GAME
AS LONG AS A PLAYER IS IN ITS ROOM, IT CANNOT DO ANYTHING AT ALL: NO INTERACTIONS, NO PARANORMAL EVENTS, AND ABOVE ALL NO HUNT CAN START
DURING A SINGING PARANORMAL EVENT, THE SHADE WILL NOT SING

STRATEGY

IF YOU STRONGLY SUSPECT IT, GROUPING UP IN ITS ROOM IS A REAL DEFENSIVE TACTIC AGAINST IT: AS LONG AS A PLAYER IS PRESENT, IT CANNOT DO ANYTHING AT ALL, NOT EVEN START A HUNT. IT IS ONE OF THE ONLY ENTITIES WHERE STAYING PUT IS SAFER THAN CONSTANTLY MOVING.
