Hints from Dialogue Files: Ghostface soon?
Recent data mining efforts have unveiled intriguing clues that suggest there’s even more in store for players. Gamers with a keen eye and a talent for decoding the game’s dialogue files strongly suggest the inclusion of Ghostface, the iconic antagonist from the “Scream” movie franchise.
Interpreting Dialogue Clues
- In these dialogue exchanges, characters like:
- Peacemaker, Omni-Man, and Takeda share lines such as:
- “Takes more than a mask and a knife to scare me.”
- “A mask and a cloak don’t scare me.”
- “F*ck movies. Nothing beats a good book.”
- “You’re not ev*l, you’re cr*zy.”
- “Not if all you’ve got is a knife.”
- “You wear a mask because you’re b*tt-ugly?”
- “This cloak and dagger act is bullsh*t.”
- Peacemaker, Omni-Man, and Takeda share lines such as:
Their uncanny resemblance to Ghostface’s trademark characteristics (masked villain wielding a knife) made fans wonder if it is really him they are talking about.
It’s important to approach these findings with caution. While Ghostface’s potential addition aligns with the franchise’s history of welcoming iconic horror figures, these discoveries remain unverified. They could potentially be part of different content designed to keep fans guessing.
