The Hideout serves as an immersive replacement for traditional 2D menus, with players loading into this space upon launching the game. The environment is a grand, multi-level manor room with an opulent, gothic atmosphere, featuring a large fireplace, an extensive library, and towering windows that offer a view of [[The Cursed Apple]] at dusk. This polished main hall stands in contrast to the adjoining Atrium, which has a more raw, industrial design. | The Hideout serves as an immersive replacement for traditional 2D menus, with players loading into this space upon launching the game.

Found on a table near the entrance to the Shop & Practice Space, the Vote Terminal is a wooden ballot box that allowed the community to influence which Hero to be added next. Interacting with it opened the "Who's Next?" menu, where players were able to cast votes for which hero they would like to see released next. Players earned one vote for each match they play. A timer on the UI indicated when the next hero unlock was scheduled to occur. Each vote added an "Eye Voted" sticker to the walls. | |||
