New Monster in Under Lock

Hello everyone

With the new update, a new monster is added to the game. Meet - Shady. Shady is a monster from the shadows and will be little noticeable at first. Its task is to collect power without attracting special attention to itself. Unlike other monsters, Shady cannot harm survivors until he has gathered enough power and partially materializes, however, he also starts with 25% power and the first ability unlocked.

Power stages:

First stage

Unlocks at the start of the game as Shady. Allows you to use the first ability. At this stage, Shady can only be seen by the shadow he leaves behind. He also has alternate vision available (press V to switch between normal and alternate vision). With her shadow vision on, Shady can see through the area of darkness, making it easier to chase.

Second stage

Unlocks upon reaching 50% power, unlocks the second ability. At this stage, Shady will leave shadow trails behind herself, which eventually disappear.

Third stage

Unlocks upon reaching 75% power, unlocks the third ability. At this stage, the monster's body will exude dark smoke, making it much easier to spot.

Fourth stage

Unlocks upon reaching 100% power, unlocks the fourth ability. At this stage, Shady takes on a partially material form, which allows him to kill survivors. Also, unlike other monsters, after killing Shady's power is not wasted.

Abilities:

• The first ability prohibits Shady from moving and turning, but allows you to accumulate power if there are survivors near him. The more survivors are nearby, the faster power is accumulated.

• The second ability allows you to jump into the shadow of the player (to do this, hold the button of the second ability, point at the player and release) and move with him for a while. It also prevents other abilities from being used while the monster is in the shadow of other players. At the end of the ability, Shady will crawl out of the player's shadow at his current location.

• The third ability can briefly summon an area of darkness in the indicated location. The area of darkness reduces visibility, and also slows down survivors in the affected area.

• The fourth ability allows you to establish portals through Shady's homeworld. Thus, he can set two portals at a location and quickly move between them with a slight rollback of the portals themselves. There can be only two portals on a location, and when a new one is installed, the oldest one disappears.

The new monster is already playable, but its AI version will be available in the next update.

Some fixes:

• Now the key in the hands of the VR player is physical and will not pass through objects. This way you cannot lose it behind a closed door.

• The keyhole when the player tries to open the VR door is now selected correctly.

• Hints from the start of the match have been moved to a separate "How to play" menu. You can open it from the main menu or during the game by pressing the ESC key.

• Notes can now be removed in VR inventory

• BP hands should no longer twitch when moving

• GUI has been improved

• Other minor improvements in VR

• Added color lines to the hospital for better level orientation

• Weeper has been slightly weakened
