Notes	{{{note}}}

Scream is an active skill that when activated, allows the Protagonist to emit a loud shout which scares away enemies around him.

Once scared, the enemies will run away to about two screens (two times the Protagonist's vision) away from the Protagonist and will get aggressive again if they see the Protagonist.

It is an incredibly useful skill to use if the player is swarmed by enemies, or low on health, as it deters enemies instantly and can be activated once a day at anytime. It is highly recommended that players playing on hard or nightmare difficulty pick this skill, as it may very well save their life on many occasions.

This skill works on any moving creatures except for the Doctor, Wolfman, Floor Gore, and Banshees, but even applicable creatures may ignore the scream (possibly due to a bug).

Just as other active skills:

• The skill can only be used once per day. After activation, the skill becomes usable again the next dawn.
• The skill is activated by opening up the radial skills menu (Q key by default) and clicking on the skill.
• While the skill is still active, other active skills cannot be activated.

Trivia

• This skill was added in Alpha 6.0, as a reworking of Animals are less aggressive.
• Some monsters also have very intimidating screams like Red Chompers, Banshees, Human Spiders.
