basically, theyre pitch-black and like to roam around large dark rooms and inside random lockers, or even get confident and chase after you, but can only be found in level 2

after i came up with the name i thought "how does this fit in with how it works" and then i had it

they are completely deaf.

so in their passive state they kind of wander around, but if they see you for long enough to realize youre not one of them, they chase after you completely unaware of whats happening everywhere that isnt in their line of sight

and you might be thinking "oh, then they must be really good at seeing things then, right?" wrong

they only see things that are moving, so if you duck behind a corner and then stay completely still, theyll search around the place that they last saw you, and then give up and walk back to where they were last in their passive state

they make up for their lack of good eyesight and hearing with a new sense i came up with called "intuition"

since the silence are born from the backrooms, they naturally understand their surroundings, and if they get somewhere new and stick around for a bit, theyll gradually get used to the space around them, even if they just lie down in one spot (this basically means that even though their sight is terrible, they dont bump into stationary things)
