Hello, my friends!

From the start of this project I wanted to add some sort of stalker enemy, but could never really get behind the idea of the enemy event following the player around from games like Fear & Hunger, Ao Oni and others. I think the way the events move make this look silly.

The way I found to implement this: After the player triggers certain events, locations of the game become "haunted" by a reality breaking entity and, when the player gets near such locations, the entity starts to break through the screen to get to you. This won't do anything meta like OneShot or mess with the game files, it is something to expand the lore of the bells you carry in this series.

I liked how it turned out, but am looking for some feedback. What do you guys think?

EDIT: Clearing one thing I misspoke on! This will have an effect inside the game, unlocking new bosses and one of the endings. On the text above I just meant it wouldn't do anything meta because of the reality breaking thing.
