NEW EQUIPMENTS


A new shop just opened it's doors bringing paranormal investigators their tools to easily find and track their goals.
They h

There are 5 new devices all unique in their own ways. They can be used to help with tracking and finding certain cursed objects, Including abnormal activities, ghost signs, and anything that is paranormal in any way.

BLACK LIGHT


Used to reveal ghost signs and ghost's footprints which points toward the direction of a cursed object.
If you happen to track an abnormal activity that has no physical appearances, check the surroundings with the UV light.

RADIO


Entry level for paranormal investigators, Listen to frequency that are in your proximity, it displays how far or close your are to the source.

EMF


Bread and Butter of paranormal investigators, 5-lights indicator that determine how close you are to the source, as well as a beeping sound, the closer you are, the faster it beeps.

EMF METER


Similar to EMF but without the lights and the beeping, has a range of 120 meters and comes with a range changer, which is very useful in pin pointing the source.

PARABOLIC MICROPHONE


The all-in-one solution, Built-in display with detection meter and speaker.
Detects and filter out only the activity it's been set to, for instance, curses only.
The detection is limited, it has to be pointed toward a source direction, but could pin-point the source from far away.
It's a little pricey, If you have a thousand bucks laying around in your farm, one can dream.

NIGHT EVENTS


Each night the curse could change things for your farm and the entire woods, some nights could be Heavy with paranormal activities whiles others calm with not activity at all.
You will know about the night at each sunset.

  • Blood moon
    Heavy attack on the farm
  • Bright Moon
    Low paranormal activity
  • Dark Moon
    Near pitch-black everywhere
  • Calm Night
    No paranormal activity, even the woods can be explored at midnight with no dangers, but the major entities will still roam their territory.
  • Normal Nights
    As in a Normal night in the haunted woods, but with nothing extra.
  • More to come.


At sunset the major night event is known, here it's the "Blood Moon".

The woods become pitch-black at midnight, more dangerous. For those who lost their way back home, there is still hope as something "friendly" at midnight could find you before others do.

Also in the same update:

  • Glowstick and lighter performance has been improved
  • Very low paranormal activity in the woods From 6 to 12 in the morning.
  • Tax and Tip is no more in the shops
  • New achievements "Path Angel" and "Ritual Book"
  • Anything paranormal can be tracked using the new devices
  • Shovel has been added to the Shop
  • Shop Screens can be scrolled using the mouse wheel
  • HDR is now supported and can be enabled in the VIDEO SETTINGS on supported displays.

Planned for the next major updates

  • Bigger farm and farmhouse variant.
  • Investigation Work: Your farm could become haunted from those heavy paranormal night attacks. Investigate your farm to find clues and identify the haunter, Prepare based on it's type and exorcise it before your farm is cursed.
  • Large Building Blueprint: Designate an area for construction (e.g., a barn), then bring the necessary resources to build it.
  • And more
