Higurashi When They Cry is an iconic, excellently written horror franchise that has produced some of the greatest horror anime, visual novels, and manga of all time. It deserves a place in Dead By Daylight’s “Horror Hall of Fame” in the form of an official collaboration!
@COFFINSLIME When I think of licenses becoming cosmetic collections, Birkin is the gold standard that makes me optimistic about the idea. He couldn't be better, save for changing the serum injection animation a bit. But man, he's so great I forget how many legendaries are painfully rough.
@Ln4DBD It's been so awful since the patch. Pallet density and compounding bugs have just pushed me off of playing killer almost completely. Hope you can get some better matches in soon!

The absolute best way to experience Higurashi is through the 8 original visual novels- the first of which is completely free on Steam! The steam sprites are definitely not great, so use the 07th Mod to customize the experience. Stay away from Gou and Sotsu! Stay away from them!
@GrizzlyEcho24@ItzzSmileyface Happy to see someone else wanting Another in DBD! Misaki Mei is 18 in the novel "Another 2001", so the precedent for an older Mei is already there too.
@MalignantForDBD Between his agility and psychic abilities any cosmetic for Gabriel would just be a complete let down. There's nothing in the game that would capture the feeling of playing as him, no matter how much visual work went into it. He was basically designed to be a new DBD killer tbh.
@MalignantForDBD Honestly, I think Higurashi is one of the licenses that *could* be done well as cosmetics only. However, they would need to be Legendary skins that tweak some things that Legendaries have never changed yet. (Ex: Power animations) And I would have big concerns over the quality.
@FelyxLawson I'm not a game designer, and don't have an immediate answer as to what it should do. Maybe only becoming active if someone is hooked twice in a row? Something to make it strong in the scenario it needs to be strong in, rather than being good at anti-tunnel, and insane otherwise.
@FelyxLawson@DeadbyDaylight Unfortunately, the perk is even more powerful when the killer is not tunneling. Even if a killer plays a very fair match, say, gets 7 hooks without killing anyone, Shoulder allows the survivor team to delay kills in a way that completely throws the balance of the game.
