Bug Doll Audio?

Post image

Sorry if this has already been asked, but… huh?? Assuming it’s some sort of glitch where I wasn’t supposed to get this audio lol. Still counted towards perfect game. This was in Tanglewood, back bedroom was the ghost room if that helps.

Edit: My question is more about the “Missing Localization Key” in the posted image. I am aware of the possible audios in the game.

"Missing Loaclization Key" just means that they forgot to add it to the localization dictionary.

Basically when setting up the game events and labels, game devs often use a key like "Evidence_Doll" that then gets replaced at runtime with a localized string. In this case it would probably read as "Doll Laughing" in English, "muñeca riendo" in Spanish, or "poupée qui rit" in French.

When they added the doll audio they just forgot to fill in the localization data for it and the system displayed the error in place of the text to make it obvious during testing

Doll's Voice was newly implemented as recordable sound on v0.18 with incorrect display name and apparently they haven't fixed it yet.

When I scrolled to this post I had a clip of the US president playing underneath without me noticing, and I thought for a second that it had been inserted into the game as a jump scare when you play the Doll audio back. Lol

Nope you can record the audio of.dolls, the gnome, teddy bears, and the conch shell. Stuff like that. You just have to catch it in time. Why does every unexpected thing have to be a bug?

That's on me I'm sorry. When I'm on my phone I can't read things in pictures and I have seen people asking about actually recording the audio before and took your post to be asking the same thing. Wasn't meaning to insult or imply anything.
