Screenshot by Destructoid All ghosts have some signature behavior, patterns, and clues you can watch out for, including the Dayan. These details are unofficial evidence, meaning you won't need to mark them down in your journal, but they can be watched for to make your investigation easier. Here's everything we know about the Dayan, which will be updated anytime we learn more about them.

• The Dayan can only be a female ghost and will thus always manifest with a female ghost model.
• The Dayan doesn't like movement, including walking and running.
• When players move near them, the Dayan gains the ability to move more quickly.
• When players are standing still near them, the Dayan is forced to move more slowly.
• The Dayan has a default hunt sanity threshold of 50 percent.
• If a player is moving near the Dayan, the hunt sanity threshold is increased to 60 percent.
• When a player is within 10 meters of the Dayan, they move at a speed of 2.25 meters per second if the player moves, or 1.2 meters when the player is still.
