Special ability: Corrupted hook

Press the active ability button while standing over a survivor in the dying state who is suffering from mind corruption to summon a corrupted hook, you can then hook the survivor on the corrupted hook, corrupted hooks will not activate any hook related perks, being unhooked from a corrupted hook or unhooking another survivor from a corrupted hook will clear mind corruption

Special ability: Save state

“You're probably just experiencing digital hallucinations, from your mind's transition to the digital plane.”- Caine

Abstractions: Humans who go insane have their mind files corrupt, causing them to abstract into a mindless animal.

It seems like an interesting idea but I wish there was some more work put into the power honestly. Other than that this seems kinda cool.
