Horror Legends - Spectral Fields

Greetings from the October Games Studio!

Horror Legends summer update is now live! Listed below are the full patch notes you can expect in the new version of the game!

OBJECTIVE SYSTEM

The objective system has been completely redesigned.

Objective system that has 3 phases to complete, designed to keep cast more engaged during game play.
Objective Prompts designed to keep you informed on what to do next
Nana the Witch has been added to the game and functions alongside the new objective system.
Use witchcraft to dismantle demonic effigies preventing your escape!
The Matriarch a malevolent and powerful witch has been added to the game and will attack the Cast 1 by 1 if the objectives have not been completed after a certain amount of time.
In phase 3 you can stand in Nana’s radius to speed up the escape portal spawn time. If they legend collides with Nana's player model it will freeze the escape timer and reveal all cast.
The escape zone has now been turned into a teleport zone that will teleport you into Nana’s hideout.
Inside Nana’s hideout there is a teleport zone that will take you back into the map if you wish to go back and try to save someone.

DOWNED STATE
Another massive update to the game where all Cast and even some Legends will enter a downed state when they run out of Health.
A down player will auto recover if they enter downed state after and extended period of time.
Allies can expedite the recovery of a downed player by healing them when they hold the "Use" button.

Legends will be able to perform Finishers on downed players complete with a gruesomely animated cutscene!
Once they have entered the vulnerable state Legend can hold the use button and activate the Finisher.
A player entering the downed state for the first time will have a short duration of time where they are protected from the Legend's Finisher.
- A Legend's Finisher can be interrupted if they take any damage while doing the finisher before the killing blow.
