Explanation

Doctor's Visual Effect can cause migraines and seizure triggers.

Since the Ghoul release Doctors Visual Effects have been changed on both survivors and killers end.

The effect players get is an accessibility issue that needs to be addressed and fixed.

Among the loud noises of the doctor, the pulses/ripples and sound trigger a migraine for myself. I play one game, with audio down and barely looking at the screen to then stop playing after because it is simply that bad.
Others get seizures from it.

Players have to DC to not get sick.
this is a HUGE accessibility issue and not having it seen changed for a over year is very horrible and sad to see.
