New character:

A new Hunter, Dream Witch (Yidhra), has joined the Manor. Obtain the S Costume [Wadjet] in S4 Essence to unlock this character for free (this character cannot be used in Duo Hunters mode and is currently unavailable in Rank Matches);
 * [External Trait - Hidden Dream]: Yidhra conceals herself in dreams. She moves extremely fast, but can't interact directly with map elements, and Survivors will not see her true face. Yidhra comes with a Follower which is visible to all Survivors and cannot be removed. This Follower follows Yidhra's footsteps and is never far from her;
 * [External Trait - Follower]: Yidhra creates a Follower near a chosen Survivor. The summoned Follower's existence is dependent on its host and is unable to leave its host. Attacking the host will cause the Follower to disappear and be removed by Survivors with the Witch Mark. Followers are affected by Talents and have their own cooldown period for secondary skills. Followers' movements and directions are controlled by Yidhra and only when Yidhra controls them will a warning radius be shown;
 * [External Trait - Witch Mark]: Yidhra leaves a Witch Mark when she creates a Follower. Survivors can pick up the Witch Mark and use it to remove Followers from leeching on to teammates;
 * [Ability - Leech]: Hold button to target a Survivor that has not been leeched and spawns Witch Mark and a Follower nearby. The skill cooldown will be decreased when the Follower hits a Survivor;
 * [Ability - Preach]: Tap on the wheel to control Followers. There is a short cooldown between each control. Followers under control cannot change target while casting a skill or attacking.

New map:

White Sand Street Asylum started out as a rundown house and gradually became a trusted medical facility in the area under Father Duke's management. People believe that patients are well cared for by medical professionals in a well-managed and salubrious place. Therefore, when the asylum was shut down, no one looked into the matter until now. White Sand Street Asylum has reopened. This time, people will have to face what actually happened here in the past.

All-new Indoor Map [White Sand Street Asylum] is now released! The new Map will not be added into Rank Match for now, but players are able to experience it in Quick Match or Custom modes.
