Change Log

Patch 1.3.0

• Rework: now provides an audio cue when detecting certain objectives within its Detection cone, rather than revealing Auras.
  • Buff: added the ability to detect Totems and Phantasm Traps.
  • Nerf: added a cool-down of 15/12/10 seconds after trigger an audio cue.
  • This rework was motivated by the Perk previously having been useless in any Trial that did not feature The Trapper.

Patch 3.1.0

• Buff: added the ability to detect Dream Pallets.

Patch 4.7.0

• Rework: reworked to focus solely on detecting Totems and added a Token counter that keeps track of the amount of time a Totem was cleansed in the Trial.
  • Buff: added a secondary effect that causes the angle of the Detection cone to narrow with each Token, making the Perk more precise over time.
  • Quality of Life: no longer triggers on the Totem the Player is currently interacting with.
  • Change: updated the icon to match the new effect.

Audio Cue

Whenever a Totem is detected within Small Game's Detection cone, this sound cue will play:

Trivia

• Small Game triggers its audio cue on all types of Totems, including Dull, Hex, Boon, and Rekindled Totems.
  • It also triggers it regardless of whether it was the Player who cleansed a Totem or another Survivor who did so.
• Visually, the Token counter cannot exceed 5 Tokens.
  However, in Trials that technically feature more than 5 Totems (e.g. when the Killer creates Rekindled Totems), the secondary effect will continue stacking in the background, eventually reducing the angle of the Detection cone to 0 °, rendering the Perk unusable for the remainder of the Trial at that point.

History

• The first iteration of Small Game was only useful in games against The Trapper, as its only effect was to reveal the Aura of his Bear Traps.
  • Upon release, this meant there was a 1 in 3 chance (Trapper, Wraith, or Hillbilly) of the Perk being useful in a Trial, which later worsened to just 1 in 5 (Trapper, Wraith, Hillbilly, Nurse, or Shape), before Small Game was reworked in Patch 1.3.0.
• Small Game's icon, until Patch 4.7.0, referenced its original effect with its icon displaying a pair of legs stepping over an armed Bear Trap.
