Shadow Stalker

Mechanics:

The Shadow Stalker’s mechanics revolve around stealth, evasion, and psychological manipulation. It primarily interacts with the player in the following ways:

Silent Approach: The Shadow Stalker has a unique movement pattern that allows it to move silently, blending into the shadows of the store. Players will often see flickers of movement out of the corner of their eye but can’t rely on audio cues alone, as it doesn’t make noise when it moves.

Diminishing Light: The presence of the Shadow Stalker causes nearby lights to flicker and dim. If it is close, any light source (like the player's flashlight) will flicker intermittently, making it difficult for players to gauge its distance. If a player remains in the light for too long, the Shadow Stalker becomes more aggressive.
