The story of a girl who is finally tempted into the abyss. There are also a large number of mini-games in the game for players to experience.

Hello! ːsteamhappyː

Today, we’ll have a look at the early concept art at the dark, mysterious and beautiful ‘Moon Forest’








The ‘Moon Forest’ is located in the northern area of the world. There are various puzzles in this region and you can also collect a variety of ores using the smelter.



Unlike the ‘Jungle’ region where the ever shining Sun is its main motif, The ‘Moon Forest’ has a main motif of the subtle glow of the Moon.
This led us to create a dark and calm atmosphere throughout this region. This is why the vegetation in this area has a colorfully glowing nature.













The ‘Moon Forest’ is home to a variety of bug villagers. We did not want the bug people to live in naturalistic simple architecture. We wanted it to represent some culture they might have.

This is the reason why we chose to have the traditional building architecture of Korea. We hoped that this would give the bug people some backstory of their culture. These styles of buildings are rarely found in adventure games and we hoped that it would be a unique feature of our world.













Next, we’ll have a look at the ‘Desert’ region.
Thank you!

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

• A Broken Fuse Box’s sparks now bounce on nearby objects instead of clipping through them

• The time between hunts will now be the same if the ghost uses a crucifix or if it hunts (20s for Demon, 25s for other ghost types)
