Behind the Illusion
Early tests hint that memory misreads cause NPCs to lock eyes too long. Scripts intended for alert ranges sometimes activate during idle moments, so awareness spikes for no reason. research shows these quirks emerge from reused AI routines.

What Sparks the Behavior
Queues like footsteps or line of sight light up hidden watcher flags. Developers reuse basic awareness code, and overlapping checks tag players as observed even off screen. studies indicate simple distance checks feed the false stare.
**
Quick Perspective
Use settings sliders to lower awareness radius and reduce creepy stares. Lower values stop distant triggers so NPCs look busy, not fixed on you.
