I know there have been lots of good ideas posted about this before. My quick searching isn’t working so here’s a few I can remember.The web. It’s not always easy to find what you’re looking for. What you find isn’t always true…especially now with “AI”. Not everything is on the web. It’s easier to find generalities than specifics. It takes longer to find things than you want. Can be used against you in many ways.Cell phones. Signal isn’t always great. Can be used against you (tracking, ringing when you’re hiding, etc). The bad guys can get your number and call you. Fed false info. Check your call history and track down your friends, family, and loved ones. Battery dies. Low power mode. Alarms goes off. Light from the screen gives you away.911. The authorities won’t believe you. The authorities will treat it like a crank call. Non-emergency takes hours to show up. The cops arrest you for false complaints. You get busted for all the crimes you’ve committed during the adventure. The cops are corrupt, in on it, part of the cult, etc. They haul you away to the psych ward because you’re screaming about monsters. They haul you in on suspicion of murder because you have blood-covered weapons and clothes. Assuming these are all perfect and good and can only help is a weird take. Modern tech is absolutely frustrating in horror and mysteries, but it can just as easily be used to increase the horror.</blockquote>
