April Fools Event 2024
2024 April Fools Event was a limited-time event in Pressure. It was released on April 17th, 2024, and ended on April 25th, 2024.
Overview
2024 April Fools Event added a new challenge called Evil Mode, activated by clicking a red button, and a new monster called The Educator. A second, green button was added about halfway into the event called the True Evil Button, which took the original role of the Evil Button.
Evil Mode
Evil Mode could be triggered from the Evil Button, located at the Submarine Dock at the start. It was located near the first Keycard and locked behind a door, requiring a Code Breacher to be opened. To activate True Evil Mode, you had to click the True Evil Button after first clicking the Evil Button.
Once pressed, nearly all lights inside the Hadal Blacksite will be off. The Educator will explain how the button had freed him from his chains, and he would chase players for the entire run.
Changes
- Almost all lights in the Hadal Blacksite will be off.
- The Educator will spawn.
- The Trenchbleeder section will not appear.
- Pandemonium's minigame is extended and more difficult.
- Pandemonium is also guaranteed to spawn in a run if haven't already.
- Eyefestation will always spawn in its enraged state. (Only on True Evil Mode.)
- Angler's spawn rate is increased, along with the possibility to spawn with Eyefestation and Pandemonium.
- Lockers infested with Puddles of Void-Mass glow red instead of purple and also deal faster damage in a multiplayer run.
- Sebastian Solace will prevent you from entering his shop.
The Schoolhouse
The Schoolhouse is guaranteed to spawn in a run during Evil/True Evil Mode, replacing Grand Encounters.
The Schoolhouse requires players to find 7 notebooks before being able to progress through the room. A second schoolhouse is set to appear as a dark room, with it requiring 10 notebooks to find, with the Angler also being able to spawn. Due to being a dark room, the lights would not flicker, and the player would have to rely on The Angler's sound cues to hide on time. Hiding against a wall did not usually work, as the walls were so thin that the Angler would kill you anyways.
Rewards
Beating the event awards players the following:
- Notebook (Unlocked in Pre-Round Shop for 175
Kroner after beating True Evil Mode). - Splorglight (Unlocked in the Pre-Round Shop for beating Evil Mode as a placeholder reward).
- Grade A Student (if on True Evil Mode) and Not Very Studious (on either mode) achievements.
- The Educator's document.
- The "Educator" jumpsuit.
Trivia
- True Evil Mode was a mode added halfway into the event, due to the amount of complaints of how hard Enraged Eyefestation was to deal with. The only difference between the modes was that now in Evil Mode, Eyefestation would spawn in it's normal state rather than being Enraged.
- Contrary to both popular belief and the badge description, the "Grade A Student" badge was obtained by beating True Evil Mode, not by failing every Notebook.
- Notebooks are actually impossible to fail, as failing one simply kicks the player out of the Notebook, forcing the player to redo the questions until all 3 are answered correctly.
- The Educator was able to be stunned by the Flash Beacon, giving players time to run away. The next 3 ruler slaps would make him move forward much more, though.
- The Educator is client-sided, meaning flashing him with a Flash Beacon would only stun him for the player who had flashed him.
