| I was wondering if we could introduce "Shadow people" to the ocean house later. Since the Shadow dude was added to the gallery, I was wondering how far of a stretch would it be to see similar figures in the ocean house. Especially in the bar area. You see them....try to get up close and they disappear. I think that would be a nice touch. | |

Maybe a ghost would be better? The shadow from the gallery is obvious denizen of Abyss... Obtenebration and whatnot. | |

| Yeah absolutely! Just shadow people/ghosts. Just like the lady and her husband, if you get to close they disappear or something. I think it would add to the creep factor to an already creepy place. LOL | |

Technology wise yes this can be done, it wouldn't be that hard to do. We would just have to decide which model/skin we want to use. We can even add particle affects like swirling black mist and little white stars or something as well, make them look super creepy. Do you want these to be combatants as well, or just creepy and disappear with no combat? | |

| I don't personally feel the Ocean House Hotel needs any improvement. It's honestly one of the best levels of the entire game. More ghosts would only make the current ones less impactful. | |

| I would advise against combatants, since the creepiness of the whole level relies on the fact that while you constantly hear and glimpse the ghosts, they're never really tangible. (Also, lore-wise, I think wraiths can't really manifest themselves? They can possess somebody, but since the hotel is abandoned and locked down, there'd be nobody to possess around, so it wouldn't make much sense.) The evil you can't touch is much more dangerous and thrilling than the one you can beat to death with an axe. Old horror proverb. | |

| Agree, Ocean house is one of the best levels. Don't think it needs anything at all. | |

| Interesting, I'm hearing a loud and clear "NO" to this idea. Aneumann, what are your thoughts on these responses? | |

| Oh it's perfectly fine by me. It could very well come off as an over kill on the mood of the place. I can see where everybody is coming from. | |

| hmm. I'm not sure it needs anything, but I would support a try. Add a couple shadow people going into rooms, maybe one 'sweeping'. Nothing too much, never more than two on screen at once. Just to make it so that there are more than 2 ghosts in the whole hotel.
Then again, lore-wise, 2 wraiths tied to one hotel is somewhat high occupancy. Why would the rest be there? | |

| That's true but there was a fire. I have a hard time believing that there's only two lost souls there. That little toy coming out of the room when you pass by eludes to more spirits lingering about. That was the main reason I brought it up. I'm thinking, staff, children? | |

| Did Troika make child models? That would be cool if they did, but they'd still need to animate them to be used. On the other hand, sound editing children's laughter being trigger when you step on a certain spot of the map is very possible. | |

That would be pretty cool! The sound of a child laughing would definitely push the creep factor up a bit. | |

Hm, I don't know. How many people turn ito wraiths? Surely, just dying in a violent accident isn't enough. | |

| Would I become a wraith if I were to die before finishing TFN? I would have unfinished business. | |
