Demit Lorong is a hostile ghost that is encountered in the endless hallway at the haunted school in DreadOut.
Description
Mythology
Demit (or in Indonesian lore called Dedemit) is derived from the words 'The Myth'. By locals, Demits are often described as a djinn race that live their lives in solitude in isolated areas such as mountains and forests. Demits are also believed to be given a task to guard the place they live. Demits can take many forms, from something that has an appearance close to a human being (humanoid) to something that takes a 'monstrous' shape (a creature).
They rarely show themselves, but they are believed to manifest themselves whenever they want, either day or night. Demits reside in various different places, and as such the Demits are given a name based on the place they guard.
Background
In the Game, like it's door guarding counterpart, Demit Pintu, the Demit Loring patrols the abandoned school's hallway.
Appearance
The Demit Lorong takes the form of a large, gaunt, humanoid creature with small pupils, an elongated mouth and afro hair. Sharp fang-like teeth that can be seen as well. It moves by crawling in tight spaces.
Game
Act 1
In the game, after the First Sister chanting Linda's name, when the player walks through a hallway, the player can hear inhumane screams and roars from the other end. If the player continues, the Demit Lorong will be encountered waiting in the hall, taking up most of the space while moving closer to Linda, having the goal to safeguard what was secluded further within.
Strategy
The Demit Lorong is invulnerable, and appears in the long hallway that has no end, rendering it both useless and impossible to try to run away.
The player has to look for a hidden door on the wall. The door can easily be seen through IrisPhone's camera, or if the player gets lucky enough to unlock the door without the IrisPhone (the vague shape of a door will be seen on the side of the wall).
If the player fails to escape in time, the Demit Lorong emits a deathly scream and Linda will be sent to Limbo as usual. Upon returning from Limbo, the player will find that the Demit Lorong seems to have vanished from the hallway.
Trivia
- Directly translating 'demit lorong' into English means 'Down the Hallway'. 'Lorong' on it's own, means hallway or passageway, directly tying into Demit Lorong's apparent job to guard the school hallway.
