The game of 173 cat and mouse

What happened?
Back when I used to play this game (pre .7) you felt like you where playing a game of cat and mouse with 173.
You always had too look over your holders.
Enter a room slowly.
The place felt more like a maze.
173 spawned all the time.
Not it makes like 22 or 3 appearances per game!
Takes away a lot of that tension and makes the game feel more like a repetitive task.
0.9 is a large improvement over 0.7 with many new rooms and horrors but that cat and mouse element was what made me fearful every time I ran that exe!
The game is still 2spooky4me but it used to be 3spooky5me!

MOD EDIT: Avoid using flashy images! They can harm.

I agree, he's less active now, strange... :|
The only good thing about having him less active is the chance of having bigger scares, since you can't now where and WHEN he could spawn.

I think that the perfect situation would be a middle stuation, he should be more active than now but even stay quiet for a while too; so when you find him again you could have a bigger chance of getting scared. And I think that he should appear a bit more often in the rooms where he's not supposed to spawn, since you would not think that he is there and then you find him behind a door and **neck snapped**... :173:

Mix up the entrance/light containment rooms more. Get him to chase you in both and leave you in heavy containment.

I think he should have more of a possibility to spawn in the Office zone then the Light zone.

He's really persistent and chase-y in the beggining of the game, going as far as to spawn in unexpected locations to get you (the bloody elevator)

It does seem that he stops spawning as much in the later parts of the game, where the other SCPs start getting the spotlight. (Heavy containment, offices)

It's good really, the fact you can stop worrying as much from 173 and start worrying yourself about other things, along with discovering the secrets of the facility.

I don't know, SCP-173 (peluchin) is the main enemy.

But it's not called 173 Breach so that doesn't mean he should get the spotlight all the time, I think Irontacos right about the he chases you in the beginning and stops after a while and then spawns behind your back in the office zone.

You shouldn't use flashy images like that. Some people are prone to seizures. This should really be a rule.

I think that the fact that 173 is less active does help in the overall game. The game keeps getting new active SCPs, which means that the older SCPs have to be less active in order for you not to get overwhelmed by them.

Well fair enough then but I think 173 should spawn a LOT more in light than it does.

It definitely should be a rule, that's pretty dangerous.

I agree with Irontaco, what would the point of new SCP additions be if you can't look at them since :173: 's on your rear the whole time, it would get seriously annoying after awhile.
