Yea, the shadowy figure is definitely too persistent, and in the end it's not really that freightning. It should be much less common, and when it does happen it should be more... idk, impactful 🤔? It'd be cool for it to look at you around corners in the distance briefly, and for it to be more visually or psychologically unnerving? Or even have the option to disable it all together as you said. It could have a lot of potential to be truly interesting rather than a cheap scare, so hopefully the final version will improve upon this 🙂
