🎬 Devlog — Haunted Institute Update

📺 TV Static & “Something Behind You” System

We’ve implemented a TV scare where the screen first bursts into static, then switches to a creepy security feed capturing something suspicious advancing behind the player. The camera basically says: “You’re not alone. You never were.” Congratulations — paranoia is now a core mechanic.

🔊 Sound Improvements & Input Feedback

• Added sound effects for pressing code buttons — every click feels tactical and stressful.
• Ringing phones now appear randomly in corridors. Players can answer them — only to be yelled at from the other side. (Allegedly, the main character jumps. We respect audio-based terror.)
• New alarm sound when waking up on Day 2. Think: “good morning… or not.”
• Updated door-opening sounds for toilets — because horror needs realistic restroom acoustics.
• More creepy audio events when interacting with valves — turning them feels like summoning something you shouldn’t.

🔐 Progression & Late-Game Systems

• Prepared a system for generating letters required to unlock the final safe — the true ending gatekeeper.
• Reworked the fuse-replacement mechanic: you now have to search drawers (yes, drawers) for spare fuses and replace them in the electrical box.
• More batteries added to drawers as well — we’re generous… in a sinister kind of way.
• Credits have been created — now the game can officially take responsibility for traumatizing you.

🏢 Environmental & Level Adjustments

• Exterior of the institute was updated — outside walls are now different from the interior ones. Turns out buildings must obey geometry and logic.
• Added more props to corridors and new carryable items for shelf-organizing tasks. Only a few though… let’s call it “minimalist design” rather than “I couldn’t be bothered.”
• Updated the event in the box-storage room: once inside, the doors lock behind the player, who must then discover a code in the room to escape. Classic “oops, you’re trapped now.”
