I think this is my favorite game ever, but I still haven't played the DLC yet (I swear I'll get around to it someday).

I'm not sure about the reduced frights setting. Are there jumpscares? And does it eliminate them or give more warning? I'm a complete coward when it comes to jumpscares ๐Ÿ˜ญ

I played with reduced frights disabled and spent half the DLC checking corners and jumping at shadows, but once I realized what the frights were it really wasn't a big deal.

At least I assume I know what the frights are, I never actually turned them off to confirm.
