I think that holding down a button while unlocking a lock would add some tension and have the player checking their area to make sure they aren’t seen.
The player has the hold down LMB for 3 seconds to unlock the lock, During those 3 seconds Quentin’s heart beat will slowly rise until the lock is unlocked to give a tense feeling to the player.

I like this idea, actions that take time are amazing for horror games
Games like Alien Isolation did great on this and I think that it would work well for HN

I like the idea, it'd be like the pre-alpha for HN1 Maybe lower the time to about 5 seconds?
(i know i mentioned a alpha, gasp.)

Of course you can’t
it would be a bad idea, it works fine now and we definitely dont need to sit there for ages waiting for it to unlock

I get what you’re saying
Which is why I would say to reduce the amount of seconds it would take to just 3 seconds
Slow actions actually require the player to think for a bit since now they have to take into account that the neighbors will have the drop on them because they’re vulnerable
It may work fine, but it doesn’t mean that it shouldn’t be changed

Ok I took it down to 3 seconds
