Crouching is a game mechanic that most notably allows the Player to get through short passages or hide from enemies by shortening their hitbox. It was released to the game on November, 24th 2017, in the version 1.0.
Mechanics
While crouching, the player's hitbox shrinks, their camera angle lowers, and their speed decreases. The first two of the listed aspects can give the player several advantages, such as: being able to move using short passages, hiding from enemies behind structures, or picking up items on the ground easier.
Controls
Crouching can be toggled on or off using specific controls. On the mobile port, the control is pressing the white button depicting a person, the button's icon shows what crouching state the Player is in. On the PC port, the control is pressing the C key on the keyboard.
Trivia
- The crouching button may give a hint about the Player's appearance.
- If the Player has knocked out Granny and her body is in the way, the Player can stand on Granny's body and crouch slowly over her body.
- Sometimes in the Car Ending in the Mobile version, the crouching button is still there, although tapping on it doesn't do anything, it just changes the image.
- It is unknown whether this is a glitch or intentional.
- It is unknown if the image of the Crouching button was taken or made by DVloper himself.
- But the crouch button is probably reference to Dexter Morgan.
- In the Mobile version, tapping on the Crouching button makes a wind-like noise, presumably the Player breathing or their clothes making noise.
- The crawl space openings in Granny were much taller than the ones in the sequels until Version 1.7.9.3.
- The Player used to be much slower when crouching, however in Version 1.7.9.3, DVloper increased the crouching speed.
