The hidden one and its breathing

It has breath particles, including a fast version and one that runs constantly.

The hidden monster in R.E.P.O. is tracked by what it does to the air and the floor: the game gives it breath particles and breathing sounds, footprint shapes, and a way for a player to pick it up.

In play

The hidden monster is not loud, but it is not silent either. Its animation keeps a set of breath particles, including a fast version and one that runs constantly, so a monster that is standing still can still be noticed.

It breathes audibly. There are separate sounds for breathing in and out, and a fast set of both, so the difference between calm and hunting is something you can hear before you see anything move.

It leaves marks on the floor. There are shapes for a left and a right footstep and a smoke effect to go with them, along with sounds for a step and for a sprint, which is how the game hints at a monster that is itself hard to look at.

Being stunned is a sequence rather than a single event. There is a start, a loop and a stop, so a stunned monster can be heard staying stunned.

It jumps and lands, and both have sounds of their own, so even an unseen monster gives away where it is when it moves vertically.

A player can pick it up. There is a transform the player holds it by, with a curve for lifting it and a curve for moving it from side to side, and there are sounds for picking it up, letting it go and moving it while it is carried.

That makes this monster unusual among the creatures in the game: rather than only being run from, it can be carried, which is why the game needs a carrying arrangement of its own for it.

What this entry does not tell you: what it looks like when it is visible, how much damage it does, or how long it stays hidden. We have not verified those, so we do not print them.
