Unused Animations#
All Family characters have "Happy" and "Angry" animations, where they are, well, happy and angry. Anrgy animations are sort of used, first 5 seconds of these animations are used as intro animations
Johnny also has an unused animation for his Rush Week win sequence, where he wipes his knife with his sleeve.
Leatherface Barge#
Leatherface was able to barge victims with one of his unused perks. The concept of barging victims would likely be repurposed for Hands' Defensive Barge ability.

Placeholder for the Lobby background. Inexplicably, the image is 23 MB in size with a resolution of 7680×4320.
Cosmetics Placeholder#
Concept art for Leatherface, cropped like a cosmetic icon.
Map Thumbnail Placeholder#
Map thumbnail placeholder, seemingly uses an earlier Slaughterhouse Feed Pen area render.
Family Character Thumbnail Placeholder#
Earlier render of Leatherface used as a placeholder for Family character thumbnails. It's also black and white, for some reason.
Hitchhiker Trap Placeholder#
Placeholder icon for Hitchhiker's traps. Notably, the trap seen here looks like a certain other killer who uses traps as their tool of choice...
For some reason, this asset is in the folder for prop textures.
Gamescom Leftovers#
All of the screens used to advertise the game at Gamescom 2022 are still in the final build's files. Some of these were also used in the Tech Test.
