Make Your Choice
Forced to choose between silence and safety, or noise and discovery.
Make Your Choice is a Killer perk that capitalizes on the psychological pressure of hesitation. It rewards survivors who attempt to hide or evade by forcing them into a binary decision: risk detection through noise or sacrifice time to remain hidden. This ability turns the act of hiding behind pallets or in lockers into a high-stakes gamble, as the Killer gains an advantage if the survivor chooses poorly.

Lore & Background
Those who wield this ability understand that survival in the Realm is not just about speed, but about forcing errors. By amplifying the consequences of a survivor's attempt to mask their presence, the Killer gains a window into their desperate thoughts. It is a cruel reminder that in the Entity's game, there are no safe choices, only different ways to fail.
Reader's Guide
Effect Description: When a Survivor is hiding in a Locker or crouching behind a Pallet, they are marked with a Terror Radius aura for a set duration. If they remain hidden or continue to crouch after this mark appears, their location is revealed to the Killer via a red aura. Activation Conditions: The perk triggers immediately when a Survivor enters a hiding state (Locker or Crouching behind Pallet) while within the Killer's Terror Radius. It requires the Survivor to maintain that position for the duration of the effect. Counterplay Strategies: Survivors should avoid crouching behind pallets unless absolutely necessary, as this triggers the aura reveal immediately. If caught in a Locker, exit the moment the perk activates rather than staying hidden. Use distractions like noise items or other survivors to draw attention away while moving out of hiding spots. Synergy Notes: This perk pairs exceptionally well with perks that track survivor movement or grant bonus speed after breaking pallets. It complements abilities that punish survivors for remaining stationary, creating a relentless pressure that forces them into the open.
