Biology Teacher: Minieese Vintress (another random name).
Appearance: Couldn’t think of one (feel free to substitute).
Main Mechanics: Materialization using spawns, blocks doorways by opening them.
Materialization. Happens 10-15 seconds after player gets first wrong answer. 5 spawn points are chosen, usually far from each other but are close to the player, one spawn per room or corridor. She will slowly materialize at all 5 simultaneously.
Once fully materialized, the closest spawn to the player is where she’ll begin chase. Chase speed is slightly slower than players running speed, also, starting a sprint alerts the player immediately. Teacher slows down over time and will eventually stop from exhaustion, disappearing to materialize again. Another 10-15 second delay continues this cycle.
Player can interrupt materialization by walking into a spawn point, looks like a shadow figure rising from the ground. Doing this however will drain a significant amount of sanity and will darken your vision for some time (black edges of screen draw towards center, resembling an oval vision-window). Walking into all 5 spawns before full materialization will start the delay early. Cycle continues.
Blocking doors. During chase, whatever door she opens becomes blocked for a duration, gives sound cue once blocked. You won’t be able to pass through until then. This doesn’t affect other characters or herself. Blocked doors have shadowy spikes.
More anger affects:
- Increases teacher materialization rate.
- Decreases exhaustion rate during chase.
- Player loses more sanity when ridding a spawn, full sanity loss if you've made too many mistakes.
- Player takes longer to recover from darkened vision when ridding a spawn.
- Increases duration for blocked doors.
Weaknesses: Walking into a spawn while holding a lighter drains less sanity and darkens your vision for less time upon impact. Throwables can rid spawns without losing sanity or vision, may sacrifice items, depends. Forcing the teacher to breakdown a door tires her out quicker and won’t block the door once broken off, that missing door can't be blocked ever again.
Different biology notebooks:
Biology Notebook: Comes in the form of computers, can be found on desks or tables. Requires the player to match missing parts, top-portion is a diagram while bottom-portion contains interaction buttons. 1 diagram per notebook, vocab terms are organized into sets of 4, diagrams range from human parts to different systems to varying micro essentials.
Buttons:
- Left arrow – Go to previous vocab set.
- Right arrow – Go to next vocab set.
- Vocab boxes – Initially click the box, then click a destination on the diagram. Can also place them back in a free slot on the current set.
- HOLD TO CHECK – Submits all answers once held down for 3 seconds, completes notebook shortly afterwards.
Notebook Progression: First one’s a freebie, others have one impossible answer that can't be edited. Later notebooks have more vocab sets to search through, more missing parts to label, fancier terms, and no longer have terms pre-defined on the diagram. Diagrams either have 4, 6, 8, or 10 vocab parts total. Fancier terms may appear on the same diagram.
General Examples:
- (1/10) = 4 missing parts, 2 pre-defined parts, 1 vocab set, all possible to get right
- (2/10) = 4 missing parts, 2 pre-defined parts, 1 vocab set
- (3/10) = 4 missing parts, 2 pre-defined parts, 2 vocab sets
- (4/10) = 6 missing parts, 2 pre-defined parts, 2 vocab sets
- (etc…) = Varying numbers
Other: Those black and white lights are codes to open areas with useful items, not all will be used. Not required for end game, optional.
(1. That colored hand was originally a plain hand, had to use paint tool... 2. Computer device is an HP ENVY 20 touchscreen PC, took the longest to crop... 3. First teacher mechanic was inspired from a character in Emily wants to Play, second mechanic was inspired by a Dead by Daylight perk...)
(EDIT: I wasn't satisfied with the original post, had very minor things to adjust. Descriptions of the teacher mechanic fell in that same issue, minor stuff. Hopefully you can read the text per displayed image, increased size with bold.)
