Jumpscare [Warning: Loud audio]

Styx is a rare encounter in Pressure, jumpscaring the player at random times while traversing the Hadal Blacksite.

Appearance

Styx takes the appearance of a black and white monster with eyes sticking out the side and an open mouth showing its tongue.

Mechanics

When a player opens a door, there is a slim chance (1/10000) for Styx to jumpscare them, appearing on the other side of the doorway for a split second accompanied by a loud screaming sound before disappearing. Despite this, Styx does not damage the player.

Notes

• Styx has no document as it cannot damage or kill the player.
• Styx functions exactly like The Man from the Mindscape, both acting as passive jumpscares.
• Styx can spawn when opening some special doors, such as the door at the end of a gauntlet, but will never spawn when opening Heavy Containment doors.
• Styx has no cooldown, and can spawn twice (or more) in a row.
• Styx has been made rarer recently due to zeal feeling it was too cheap, now being a 1/10000 per door. This was confirmed during one of Zeal's development streams
