Yeah so the Hunter was one of the last things we started working on and sadly we ran out of time hence why the Escapist character is much more fleshed out, when playing as the Hunter you should still be able to run like you can with the Escapist and additionally you can also Press E to Teleport closer to the Escapist, doing so has a cooldown though, don't forget neither of you can move whilst the lights are ON and when playing as the Hunter the Escapist is played by AI so the slow movement you felt could be attributed to the AI constantly turning the lights ON and OFF, overall we agree with you though.
Thanks for playing our game and we appreciate your compliments and feedback, we will make sure to do the same with your submission! :)
