Welcome back ghost hunters, we've got some news for you.



The next major update will be Progression Part 1 (v0.9.0), and will make way for the new leveling system; player levels, money, and equipment will be wiped and set to 0, however, to allow users to continue playing as they have been, everyone who has played the game pre-wipe will be fast-tracked to Prestige 1, level 0.

This will reset your progress but keep all difficulties and locations available for play when the reset hits. A future development preview will reveal what your pre-wipes level badge will look like, keep your eyes peeled for that soon!



Custom difficulty’s reward values have been overhauled. This should help balance the game closer to the default difficulties and make progression fairer for those who don’t want to min-max their custom games.

• The maximum reward value possible is now 15x
  
• Several options have had their rewards reduced
  
• The Apocalypse Challenges’ requirements have been adjusted:
  • Bronze: 6x+
    
  • Silver: 10x+
    
  • Gold: 15x
• Rules have been added to reduce rewards when two options are set to specific values, thus canceling each other out but still giving you a reward. Here are some examples:
  • 0 starting sanity with sanity pills 25% or higher
    
  • Faster ghosts but player unlimited sprint
    
  • Broken Fuse Box but Flashlights: On

Triggering one of these combinations will change the custom difficulties option panel to a yellow warning icon. You can hover your cursor over this icon to find out more information on how it is affecting or being affected by other settings.

Several custom options have been adjusted:

• “Evidence Given” will now soft cap the reward multiplier. Rewards added above these multipliers will only add 50% of their values to the total reward;
  
  • 3 Evidence: 4x
    
  • 2 Evidence: 5x
• “Grace Period” 6s has been removed
  
• “Sprint Duration” and “Sprint Recharge” have been removed and will default to:
  
  • Duration: 3s
    
  • Recharge: 5s
• “Sprint” options have been changed to:
  
  • Off
    
  • On
    
  • Infinite

For the best investigators, a new default difficulty has been added: Insanity.

More information can be found in-game on the difficulty selection screen.

A new weekly rotational difficulty has been added. Each week a different challenge will be available offering unique modes ranging from Intermediate to Insanity and beyond.

• 26 challenges have been added
  
• A challenge-specific loadout will be provided automatically, for free
  
• Completing the challenge 3 times on the specified map will grant a large money and XP bonus
  
• Each challenge will be available twice a year
  
• You will lose nothing if you fail or die

Sunny Meadows’ staff weren’t just experimenting on people, they were seriously trying to unearth something unnatural:

A severed paw that grants a wish for those who ask it. Be warned, the wish may not be worth the consequences:

• Wishes can be found scattered inside Sunny Meadows Mental Institution and will be added to your Journal when found. These are not required to use the paw and are just a permanent note to help you remember.

The number of wishes you have will correspond to the difficulty or reward multiplier for that contract:

• 0x – 1.9x Rewards: 5 wishes
  
• 2x – 2.9x Rewards: 4 wishes
  
• 3x Rewards or higher: 3 wishes

• - Reduces Sanity by 25%

“I wish for sanity”

Welcome back, we've got some news for you!

After the successful launch of the v8.0 Tempest update, it's time to give you a peek into what's next for the game!

Any information and images are Work In Progress (WIP) and may change drastically before releasing



Firstly we'd like to announce that Progression part 1; v9.0, will be the next major update, coming shortly after v8.1. The plan is to have this out as soon as possible and will include the new leveling system for players, as well as the long-awaited equipment upgrades for your investigations!

We've seen a lot of players' concerns about why we're doing a wipe, and what will happen to their current progression, so here are a few quick insights:

• The wipe is needed to make way for the new leveling system, including prestiges, and will fundamentally change how you progress through the game. You'll unlock equipment and upgrades in a specific order, and that needs to work from the start. Sadly we cannot translate the new system to the current one, so a reset is the only way to go!
  
• Money and experience numbers will be adjusted, you will no longer level up every 100xp. Now, each level will require more XP as you progress and upon reaching the end of level 100, you will unlock the option to prestige and reset your progress, with the reward of a new badge and title for your ID card.
  
• Your current level will be saved and in the future, we will give you a unique badge for your player character to show off how far you made it pre-wipe. These will have different colors and materials depending on how high your level was. This will be the only way to unlock this specific badge, so get going!

8.1 will provide the much-needed Custom Difficulty values overhaul. The plan is to reduce the maximum reward multiplier from 24x down to around 15x (the Apocalypse challenge requirements will also be reduced to match), making custom games much closer in rewards to our default difficulty counterparts. We can then remove the cap that is currently in place for those games, resulting in much fairer rewards, and less "feel bad" when not playing the most optimal settings to farm XP and money.

With the addition of Custom Difficulty, we've found that a lot of players love harder game modes, so it's about time to start thinking about a new official difficulty: Insanity



As you can see, this is one step further down the rabbit hole after Nightmare. One less piece of evidence and some smaller changes make it much tougher to narrow down those paranormal entities!

We're also adding a brand new system to Phasmophobia, a rotational difficulty: Challenge Mode.

Each week a different challenge will be present in this difficulty slot, offering unique custom modes that are hand-made by us. You'll be able to play these modes in any location, but if you complete them three times in the specified location, you'll earn a large chunk of money and experience!

Challenge mode comes at no risk too; equipment is provided for you for free, and you'll lose nothing if you die! You can also complete each week's challenge solo or in multiplayer!

An example of one of the simpler challenges:



As you can see, in "Lights Out" you will have no access to the fuse box, and flashlights are not provided, so you'll have to use candles and other equipment such as glowsticks if you want to see anything!

Some of the other challenges you can expect range from an official "Hide and Seek" game with the ghost or an audio-only contract focused on Paranormal Microphones and Sound Sensors. We hope these unique contracts give you a reason to hop back into the game each week, as well as provide a nice boost to your funds without the worry of losing anything!

You'll be happy to hear that both Insanity and Challenge Mode will be added with 8.1 very shortly!



Alongside the above additions, the shop will also be getting some much-needed improvements!

Currently, loadouts are the primary way to quickly get your equipment into a game, but we can understand that a few reasons are stopping this from being a perfect system:

• Some players don't like to use loadouts every time, and prefer to add equipment manually
  
• If you want to add or remove a few items quickly, you either have to use the current Shop menu, which can take too many clicks, or keep one loadout free for quick adjustments
  
• There is no way to tell what has been added to the lobby and what you may be missing
  
• Some of the details were confusing, and needed more context

So, with that information and some in-depth conversation with some users in the Official Discord, we've decided to make the following changes:

Firstly, the shop/storage page will now function like an online shopping cart. You can add your items to the list with the + icons, then choose to Buy, Sell, Add or Remove. Once you're done, you can clear your list with the Trash icon. This makes adjusting your added loadout or making a quick removal much faster than the current system.

Secondly, an icon has been added to each shop item, displaying how many have been committed to the lobby and will appear in the truck once you've loaded in. This should reduce the amount of jumping back and forth between the shop and the lobby screen.

A look at the proposed changes:



For Loadouts, we're adding an "Auto add" button, which will add your selected loadout to the lobby as soon as you join one. This should save even more time when joining different games in solo or multiplayer. If you die or don't have enough items, you will need to rebuy the missing items (which can be done with one button press!) otherwise they won't be auto-added. We're also adjusting a few labels on this screen to help with identifying each number when creating or using a loadout.

Lastly, we're adding an "All Equipment" loadout that is unlocked for everyone as a 3rd slot.



While developing 8.1, we noticed some strange runes in the warehouse lobby...

What could these mean?

Are there more?

Who knows...



That's it for Development Preview #7. We'll catch you with some more teasers soon!

Welcome back! We've got an update for you.



Firstly we'd like to apologize. In our haste to remove money and XP farmers from the game, we penalized our Custom Difficulty goers way too harshly and bypassed the core concept of what custom was originally advertised as "Play your way".

In the long term, we will be rebalancing the entirety of Custom Difficulty's reward multipliers, to make sure that they are fairer, not overly rewarding when lower risk is taken, and stop cheesy tactics to farm easy rewards.

Today, we're removing the -60% reduction for Custom games, and adding the following until the rebalancing is finalized, early next year with 0.8.1:

• Custom Reward Multipliers will now have a maximum cap of x15, displayed with the actual multiplier beside it in brackets.
  
  
  
  
• Incorrectly identifying the ghost type will lower your multiplier to the next default difficulty (rounding down). E.g. 5x > 4x or 3.7x > 3x

• Some Ouija board questions have had their sanity reductions increased, as they were much too powerful for the sanity trade-off
  • Ghost location – 50% (Previously 40%)
    
  • Bone location – 50% (Previously 20%)
• The Haunted Mirror's sanity drain has been adjusted, so that you can't entirely avoid the sanity drain with a ~1-second peek and still reap the reward. This should also encourage slightly longer peers into the paranormal realm.
  
  • The Mirror will now drain a minimum of 20% sanity per use
• Adjusted player freezing breath visuals so it will no longer block your view when walking too close to it
  
• Smudge Sticks will now visually animate much more accurately with the timing of their gameplay effect
  
• Improved Smudge Sticks' smoke effect
  
• Adjusted several inconsistent text capitalizations in English
  
• Rebaked Sunny Meadows

• Removed several sky light leaks in the following locations:
  • Willow
    
  • Tanglewood
    
  • Edgefield
    
  • Ridgeview
    
  • Grafton
    
  • Sunny Meadows
• The DOTS and death room ghost will no longer be the wrong ghost model
  
• The reset save button will now work
  
• Sanity will now stop draining when you are in a lit area
  
• Snow will no longer fall inside the Bleasdale attic
  
• Willow front room window fingerprints will now be photographable

We’ve made the decision to increase the rewards for custom difficulty by changing the reward reduction from 80% to 60%. We have plans to add harder official difficulties in future content updates to help balance the game progression.
