i cant wait for the endless mode update! i got all 3 main endings (excluding the 1/4 ending (not spoiling)) and here are a few doll types what should be added to the endless mode:

1. dolls with an abnormally high tempature

2. evil dolls that try to imitate neutrally/morally possessed dolls

3. dolls that function like weeping angels

4. dolls that REQUIRE you to hold them to survive

5. dolls that REQUIRE you to turn off the lights to survive

6. multi doll (2-4 dolls) encounters where each doll involved has their own mechanic

7. dolls that REQUIRE you to be close to them for a specified amount of time to survive

8. dolls that REQUIRE you to avoid doing a specific tests to survive (the specific test will be hinted at by the doll document)

9. dolls that REQUIRE you to avoid a specific room (hinted at by flashing lights) before the timer hits 0

10. dolls that REQUIRE you to find them before the timer expires

11. dolls that swap the delivery systems (meaning that Dangerous goes to Ok and OK goes to Dangerous) (hinted at by the red lights below the signs flashing and sparking)

12. and lastly a rare chance for the dangerous dolls from the story mode to show up again

and some new tests that are exclusive to Endless mode (the new tests have a chance to replace one of the original tests):

1. Electronic test (you have a Radio or some other electronic and you must bring them close to the doll and see if strange activity occurs from the device)

2. Owner mention test (you mention the owner of the doll and see if the doll reacts)

3. Paper test (you place a piece of paper near the doll and leave the room for a bit and see if strange activity occurs from it)

4. PC test (the item locator includes the doll and you must use it to see if strange activity occurs)

5. Details test (after you put the doll on the chair in front of the window you must check everything in the test room and hiding room and then leave the room for a little bit then you must come back in and see if anything changed or strange activity occurs)

these are just suggestions and you don't have to do them if you don't want to.

Thank you for your excitement about our project! And dang, that's a lot! Some of which is certainly going in the ideas file! When brainstorming the endless mode with the team, we did think up a lot of new tests, one of which you even specified (The owner call), but we don't want to have too many tests. We are trying to think of a balanced way, to make some tests unnecessary for some dolls / make them faster / have an option to skip them and some ideas are being formed. As for the doll anomalies, any idea goes! So thank you! You can expect credit for the ideas that do end up in the game.

Here is a rough idea of how the endless mode anomalies will work: They are called events. You will have a screen, where you can see all events in the game, but they will be locked and named "???" if you haven't witness the event. The dolls are random, but they have stats, on which they work off of regarding the events they may trigger. Just like in the story mode, there are both ordinary and possessed dolls, but the possessed ones are not always evil. Sometimes they are even nice, playful or down right heroic. Once you have all the events, the game will continue, but the events will repeat. Some events however do have sub-alternation, so that it's not exactly the same every time. Like visuals, sounds and other side aspects of the event can be altered, to drag out the uniqueness of each run. I can't say much about the endless mode, as I don't want to spoil anything until ready (plus it can always be completely scrapped and reworked).

Until then, thank you for your suggestions! They have not gone unnoticed and I appreciate your time!

and i believe that the imitator dolls and the Multi doll encounters and the Test avoidance dolls (and some of my more unique suggestions) will put a unique spin on the Endless game play loop!
