Sustenance

The Entity is described as an «Emotion Vampire», with sustenance coming in the form of strong emotions, such as the Killer’s rage and anger, or the Survivors’ desperation, hope or even affection towards other Survivors.

The most effective way for The Entity to procure those emotions is through the never-ending trials, invoking hope in Survivors towards an escape from the nightmarish construct and fuelling the Killer’s blood lust in anticipation of the sacrifice, a bizarre ritual through which Entity extracts its sustenance, which it needs to magnify its power and sustain itself.

With each passing death, a little bit of the Survivor’s soul is lost. Eventually, as all hope evaporates, the Survivor becomes less and less useful to Entity, slowly devolving into a cold and emotionless shell. Those lost Survivors, whose hope has long since left them, are eventually thrown into a limbo realm known as «The Void».

Survivors that are mortally wounded and ‘die’ during a Trial, or shortly after escaping, will be revived by The Entity, also wiping their memories clean in the process and relocating them back to The Campfire.

The Blight

An entry in Vigo’s Journal reveals that once a year, The Entity is infested with blight, requiring for it to undergo a purge. The blight manifests itself in the form of cankers spawning throughout the Realms, which bloom into pustules from which a mysterious nectar can be harvested and transformed into the Putrid Serum .

It is possible that due to its hypothesised biology, The Entity is, at its core, a plant-like organism, since Blight is a symptom commonly found in plants affected by a pathogenic organism, which was reflected by the cankerous growing on Hooks and the cankerous pustules that appeared throughout the Realms.

Victims

The most effective way for The Entity to get a foothold in a new Terra world is for it to corrupt its inhabitants, to the point that they commit great atrocities as gruesome acts of violence weaken the veil between The Entity’s Realm and the world. Through this weak spot, The Entity’s Realm begins seeping over into the world, allowing The Entity to pull its first victims into its own nightmarish construct, the «Corrupted Ones», those pushed to do the deeds that summoned this ancient evil in the first place, also known as the Killers .

The Killers are made to do The Entity’s bidding, which is to relentlessly hunt and kill the Survivors. Many Killers do not do so willingly, although some are happy to sate their blood lust. Some have to be tortured over endless years to be coerced into doing what The Entity wants. The Entity is ever patient and the torture ever more severe. Eventually they all cave in and start the hunt for The Entity.

The Entity actively recruits its Killers by sensing their killing potential in their mortal selves, before corrupting them into committing violent or evil acts. It is possible for it to change its mind during the process of converting the human into a new Killer and choosing someone else instead if it senses greater potential in them, as happened with Rin Yamaoka and her father, the latter having originally been chosen to become a Killer.

Prey for The Entity comes in the form of the Survivors , regular people who stumbled into the corrupted areas and were pulled through by The Entity, with no memory of how it had happened. Once they awaken by The Campfire, there is no escape for them anymore.

Lore

Additional Lore can be found in Tome III — Escalation: A Lovely War.

As soon as Anna was able to walk, her mother started teaching her how to survive a harsh, solitary life in the northern woods. Living in such an extremely remote and dangerous area required skill and resilience. When sunlight became too dim for productive activities, they would take refuge in their house, a sturdy old cabin constructed to resist the toughest winters. Close to the hearth’s warmth, Anna would rest in her mother’s arms, surrounded by the few wooden toys and masks she had crafted for her. Drifting off to sleep with stories and lullabies, she dreamt happy dreams, ignorant of the events that would soon change everything.

Anna and her mother were stalking a great elk through the woods. They knew it was dangerous prey, but it had been a particularly difficult winter and they were almost out of food. The spectre of starvation frightened them more than any forest creature. Without warning, the elk reared, bellowed and charged at Anna. She was paralysed with fear as the whole world seemed to shake under the immense beast’s pounding hooves. The elk was close enough for Anna to see the murderous fury in its eyes when her mother threw herself in its path, axe in hand. A blood-curdling scream escaped from her lips as the elk impaled her upon its antlers and hoisted her into the air. With all her strength, she brought her axe down on its head again and again while it tried to shake her loose. With a sickening crack, the antlers snapped and Anna’s mother was free. The beast collapsed.

Anna was too small to move her mother’s broken body, so she sat with her in the clearing where she had fallen. To distract her from the dying elk’s cries, Anna’s mother held her and hummed her favourite lullaby. They stayed like that, the huntress and the elk getting quieter and colder, until Anna was alone in the silent forest. Eventually she stood up and started the long walk back home.

Still a child, she knew just enough about life in the frozen forest to survive. She followed her instincts and became one with the wild. She got older and stronger and practised her hunt. As she grew into a dangerous predator, her humanity became a half-remembered dream.

She widened her territory and lived off her hunts. She worked her way up through squirrels, hares, mink and foxes. Eventually she grew tired of them and hunted more dangerous animals like wolves and bears. When unsuspecting travellers came through her woods, she discovered her new favourite prey: humans. Unlucky souls who strayed into her territory were slaughtered like any other animal. She liked to collect their tools and colourful garments and especially toys when there were little ones. But she could never bring herself to kill the little girls.

Girls she would take back to her house, deep in the woods. They were precious, and looking at them woke up something deep in her heart. She craved the closeness of a loved one, a child of her own. Among the pillaged wooden toys, dolls and story books she couldn’t read, the girls would be tied by the neck with a rough and chafing rope fastened firmly to the wall. She couldn’t let them wander off, or they would surely die outside.

Every time, the girls would waste away and die of cold or starvation or sickness. Every time, it plunged Anna deeper into pain and sorrow and madness. She was compelled to try again, and started raiding the nearest villages to slaughter families and kidnap their daughters. She wore one of the animal masks her mother crafted for her so many years earlier to try to calm the frightened children. Villagers spread the legend of a half-beast lurking in Red Forest: The Huntress, who killed men and ate little girls.

War eventually came to the forest. German soldiers began to pass through, on the march to attack the collapsing Russian Empire. During these dark times, there were no more travellers. The villagers had abandoned their homes, and no more little ones to be found; only soldiers. Many of them were found with violent axe wounds. Whole groups disappeared mysteriously. Once the war was over, the rumours of The Huntress disappeared with it, engulfed by the Red Forest.

Dying State[]

In the Dying State, a Survivor’s Movement speed is limited to a slow crawl and they are unable to use any of their Items .

A crawling Survivor has two options: recover as much health as they can (at maximum 95 % at a rate of 50 % of the normal Healing speed, which equates to recovery taking 30.4 seconds), or crawl away to find help. Without the aid of certain Perks , a Survivor cannot fully recover by themselves; they will need another Survivor to finish healing them. A crawling Survivor can be picked up by the Killer and brought to sacrificial Hooks .

While in the Dying State, Survivors slowly bleed out till death (after 240 seconds). The bleed-out progress can be seen below the Survivor’s Status Icon in the HUD.

Healing from the Dying State puts a Survivor into the Injured State.

Dying Survivors can see the Auras of their teammates and vice versa. Dying Survivors can use their teammates’ locations to determine whether they should move or attempt to recover.

• It takes 240 seconds (4 minutes) for a Dying Survivor to bleed out and die.
• A Killer can see the Aura of a nearby Dying Survivor if they have the Perk Deerstalker .
• Tenacity allows Survivors in the Dying State, to recover and crawl at the same time.
• Unbreakable , No Mither , and Soul Guard allow a Survivor to fully recover from the Dying State.
• Adrenaline instantly recovers a Survivor one full Health State when the Exit Gates become powered.
• A Killer using Knock Out will prevent the other Survivors from seeing the Dying Survivor’s Aura outside of a certain range, similar to a reverse Deerstalker .
• Survivors can reduce the grunting by using No Mither .

Healing[]

Healing can put Survivors back into higher Health States.It is considered a Healing action and affected by various Unlockables.

• It is possible to heal oneself back to Healthy with either a Med-Kit , Self-Care

  The exceptions are Survivors affected by the Broken Status Effect. Any afflicted Survivor cannot be healed past the Injured State.

  , or being healed by other Survivors.

• Healing one Health State requires 16 Charges. Since Survivors heal at a default Healing speed of 1 c/s, this causes the action to take 16 seconds by default.
  • Some Unlockables can either increase or decrease the Healing speed, but the required Charges remain the same.
  • Up to two Survivors may heal a third Survivor, doubling the combined Healing speed to 2 c/s, effectively halving the required Healing time.
• A Killer can see the Auras of a Survivor being healed or healing themselves with the Perk A Nurse’s Calling

  When using Deathbound , a Survivor healing another might trigger an Aura-Flare-Up and Loud Noise notification.

  .

Mending

Mending will put Survivors afflicted by Deep Wound back into the Injured State.It is not considered a Healing action and therefore remains unaffected by Unlockables, with the exception of Killer Power Add-ons that affect its duration.Should the bleed-out timer run out or the affected Survivor receive damage by the Killer, they will be put into the Dying State.

• Self-Mending takes 12 seconds to complete.
• Altruistic Mending takes 8 seconds

  Up to two Survivors may Mend a third Survivor.However, this incurs a Mending Speed penalty of -25 %

  to complete.

• Partial Mending progress is saved.
