Identity V: Dream Witch Guide

Introduction

The Dream Witch, Michiko, is a Hunter in Identity V developed by NetEase. She is a unique, high-skill ceiling Hunter that relies on micro-management and map pressure. Unlike other Hunters, the Dream Witch does not interact with Survivors directly. Instead, she controls a host of creatures called "leeches." She can switch between these leeches, taking control of them to chase, injure, and eliminate Survivors. Her learning curve is steep, but she offers immense reward for players willing to master her mechanics.

Follower (External Trait): Yidhra starts with one Spawn Follower that stays near her. She can also create Leech Followers on survivors. identity v dream witch guide

Do not spam attacks. Your Follower is slow initially.
Use the Red Light mechanic. Your Follower has a glowing red light (terror radius). The Survivor knows you are there.
Strategy: Control Yidhra to cut off the Survivor's escape route while your Follower chases from behind (The Pincer Movement).

Advanced Tips

Chain summons and teleports to create layered pressure—force survivors to split attention between machine protection and personal safety.
Predict rescue timings: pre-place dolls near chairs during late-game to interrupt immediate unhooks.
Use portals to fake rotations and bait survivors into traps.

Filter by date: Add “2024” or “2025” to avoid pre-rework advice.
Specify platform: “Dream Witch mobile guide” or “PC control layout.”
Look for “micro-management” or “multi-tasking” – if the title doesn’t mention those, it’s too basic.
Best single guide: Search “HappyBud Dream Witch guide” (still partially relevant) or “iALiEN’s Dream Witch breakdown” – though even those need updates.

“Basslane is a plug-in that should interest anyone who's having their tracks pressed to vinyl, or is simply concerned that the bottom end of their music lacks definition.”

“Basslane VST is the only plugin I couldn't live without. (..) Nothing else does what it does as easily and convincingly.”

“That basslane plug is awesome. Nice. I always keep my subs mono, but this is a very cool plug for the drum buss”

“I recently discovered Basslane when I was looking for a way to center/mono the deep bass frequencies of a Chapman Stick track I had recorded that featured a tempo-delay on it (...) After setting the cutoff frequency (the pre/post monitoring options really help with this) and collapsing just frequencies below that to mono, the deep bass tones became solid and punchy while leaving the upper frequencies to bounce around in the stereo field. (...) Highly recommended.”

Review on KVRaudio.com forum

“BassLane is a GREAT little utility plugin! If you have issues with a certain area of the spectrum being too wide, this is the solution for you. (...) All in all, I find this an indispensable mixing tool, and best of all it's free!”

Key Features

New & Improved

The updated version of Basslane adds support for both Windows and Mac (with native Apple Silicon support) and introduces new features. The unique Side Harmonics feature adopted from Basslane Pro adds upper harmonics to the side channel based on the mono’ed low-end. This allows you to create stereo width that is musically related to the bass without adding problematic stereo in the subs. The updated user interface provides helpful stereo balance and correlation metering.

A Tighter Mix

Regain tightness in the bottom of your mix by keeping low frequencies from kick drums, bass lines and other tracks centered in the stereo field. Stereo synth patches, drum tracks mixed from multiple sources, or tracks with delay, reverb etc will often result in a "muddy" mix if the low end is too wide. Just drop Basslane on the track and tuck in the bass as much as you like.

Be creative

Experiment with stereo effects on tracks without worrying about losing definition and focus in the bass region. By inserting Basslane as the last effect in the chain you can stack all the wild effects you like on the track, knowing that Basslane will keep the low end under control.

The Pro Version

Get mastering grade low-end control

Basslane Pro offers both narrowing and expansion of stereo width in the lows/mids using high fidelity linear phase processing for an uncompromised stereo image. On top of this, Basslane Pro adds novel solutions to preserve valuable musical content affected by width correction, extensive control over added stereo harmonics, and Unisum-powered dynamics for a beautiful low-end that translates everywhere.
