Blair 8/9/2024 Update is FINALLY HERE:
Here is the advanced changelog for those who are interested in just what exactly has been updated
Ghosts:
- Three New ghost types have been introduced. Meet the Faejkur, The Nook, and The Strigoi!
Hailing from Scandinavian origins, the Faejkur ghost is known to trick its prey into hearing sounds that aren’t there. It will occasionally mimic any sound effect that it has previously heard before. Do not let your guard down and believe every sound you hear. Evidence: EMF Level 5, Freezing Temperatures, Ghost Writing
The Nook is a ghost that hasn’t given up its earthly possessions just yet. It is known to be quite greedy and will attempt to take items with it into the afterlife. The nook will occasionally steal items around the house. A keen eye is your best defense against the Nook. Nooks have also been reported to favor rooms with more items. Evidence: EMF Level 5, Freezing Temperatures, Ghost Orbs
Strigoi are ghosts that are deathly afraid of water. Alleged to rise from the grave to prey on its victims, these ghosts are master manipulators of their physical form. While near any form of running water, the Strigoi will be completely invisible. Reports also say that tampering with sinks angers the Strigoi. However, they tend to leave behind unique hand prints sometimes. Evidence: EMF Level 5, Fingerprints, Ghost Orb
-
New ghost event: “The fake hunt” Ghosts will now manifest and chase you down. If they get you in time, you lose a drastic amount of sanity. Be careful!
-
Ghosts that are known to be less aggressive tend to fake hunt less.
-
Shades no longer appear half transparent when hunting
-
Pathfinding greatly improved. *now uses three raycasts from head to toe instead of just its head
-
Banshee now targets anyone if the desired target isn’t inside during the hunt
-
Yurei no longer speed up during hunts (again)
-
Yama and Poltergeists have closer blink patterns that of a normal ghost, making it a little bit harder to detect based off of blink patterns alone
-
Ghosts no longer perform ghost events if no one is inside.
-
Ghosts can no longer open/close doors. Instead, they slowly creak them open/close (aside from slamming them of course)
-
Ghost will periodically check if there’s anyone inside. If not (somehow) the hunt will end prematurely.
*Whisper event now has several sound effects.
Items:
- The infamous “duplicate item” bug has FINALLY been patched once and for all! This was disappointingly easy to fix.
- Thermometer no longer displays your own character’s body heat. This was causing issues with avatars with short arms
- Spirit box now has a visual identifier for when the ghost gives a response. Also flips through FM radio frequencies on screen
- Salt now automatically drops when you use up all of them. Stepped in salt now yields an EMF reading. Very useful for testing for EMF 5

Ghost Photo > $35
Dirty Water > $10
Cursed Object > $5
Stepped in Salt > $5
Burning Crucifix > $20
Written in Book > $5
UV Print > $15

- New Art for Tarot Cards!
Maps:
*NEW MAP The Aldridge Hotel
-
Our biggest map yet (bear with us). Features over 40 rooms and functional elevators. Cursed objects are all close to the lobby (summoning circle is visible on security cams) so no need to wander the whole place in search of them.
-
New challenge: “Hotel Hero”
On the new hotel map, on nightmare mode only, Identify the ghost correctly, take a picture of the ghost, and survive with all 7 challenges active WITHOUT DYING to receive the new hotel trophy. -
Added various background items to suburban home maps, such as Roadhouse, Stillhouse, and Juniper Street. No longer feels like you’re in the void, but a neighborhood.

Various new sound effects inside each map. Notably from custom footsteps.
-
Weather fixed for all maps.

Events: The Blood Moon Rises…
Very rarely during a Nightmare mode game, the blood moon will rise. During the blood moon, the ghost is incredibly aggressive and causes incredible sanity drain. (Chances of a blood moon increase for every challenge active
During a hunt, the ghost will gather a ton of energy and lock every single door in the map. The ghost also will hunt for 30% longer.
Crucifixes don’t work under the blood moon.
Survive the blood moon and complete all objectives for a generous reward!
Thank you for being so patient with us while we got this update finalized! Happy ghost hunting!
