It’s that time of year again. We hope you’ve enjoyed the updates from the last months. This update is focused on the addition of a brand new tool, which we’ve teased for a while. Well, it’s been a long time coming, so here it is.
Parabolic Microphone
Finally, it’s here. Players, we’re excited to show to you the main subject of this update. We’re not going to disclose everything, as the details are for you to figure out and utilize!
- Added Parabolic Microphone tool
- Displays volume and distance of object(s)
- Certain ghosts might have a special interaction
Bonus photo rewards
Here’s a cherry on top that you might enjoy. Every round, you can take a photo of dirty water or the ghost itself, and you’ll get bonus cash at the end of the round. Only one photo per type is counted for the rewards (e.g you can’t take two photos of the ghost). These values are also later multiplied by your challenger and difficulty multipliers.
- Ghost photo → $15
- Dirty Water photo → $5
Frightful Demons
Finally, those Demons have gotten their own ghost traits. Demons are one of, if not the most aggressive ghost you could possibly encounter. They don’t do a lot of events, but when they do, it’s almost certain to be a manifestation event. Once again, there’s more to this that I’m not telling you - have fun with these pesky Demons!
- Demon ghost traits implemented
- Demons may hunt at any time, regardless of your sanity, even in Easy difficulty
- Demons dislike crucifixes, they’re much more effective against demons
- Crucifixes will have a higher work radius (pocket crucifixes are unchanged)
- Demons prefer physical events over generic touching objects
Other changes
- Added levels to the menu player list
- Added “Temperature Unit” setting to the settings menu, which will be reflected on the Thermometer tool
- Buffed The Engineer kit (-50% fix duration → -80% fix duration)
- Improved shop and inventory UI in the menu
- Added a couple animations to endgame UI
- Night Vision gamepass will be automatically turned off when viewing video cameras
- Crucifix hunt cooldown added: Crucifixes will temporarily prevent the ghost from attempting another hunt for a certain duration of time (Demons get a higher cooldown duration)
- Thermometers will now display their current temperature unit
- Rebalanced universal hunt chances
Bug fixes
- Fixed School closets being inaccessible when supposedly available
- Fixed The Technician kit
- Fixed players not dropping their tools on death
- Fixed multiple items possessing the same item
- Fixed EMF readings on the floor of the Roadhouse Dining Room
- Fixed toggle type settings showing their current value in the settings menu
- Fixed photo camera pictures not copying a character’s clothing and accessories
- Patched NV bug
- Patched certain safespots in Roadhouse
That’s everything for now, but fear not, as we’ve got much more interesting plans.
