Major update

Ghost Backstory, Smudge, Fahrenheit & Overall Improvements | 0.11.0.0

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Added

  • Added ghost backstory. At the start of each map, you now get brief information about the ghost haunting the location.

  • A setting for reading temperatures in fahrenheit.

Ghost Speed/Difficulty Rework

  • Polished ghost speed overall.

  • Removed the ghost speed increase based on difficulty. Ghosts now always have a set speed tied to their behavior in the ghost wiki, which helps with identification.

  • Ghosts are faster than they were on lower difficulties, but smudge sticks protect you, and ghosts are still generally much less aggressive and easier to outplay.

  • Rewrote all ghost behavior descriptions to be less wordy and more informative.

Balancing

  • Reworked smudge sticks. They now have different uses, both prolonging the time before a hunt and stunning the ghost during one.

  • Made receiving evidence faster on easier difficulties.

  • Drastically reduced the amount of times the ghost will open and close doors.

Improvements

  • Made the smudge stick visibly burn when used.

  • Made the crucifix visibly burn when used.

  • You no longer need to select the starter kit. The starter items needed for the investigation are now added automatically.

  • Added more sounds to the ghosts.

  • Changed the hand-holding animation for the EMF.

  • Whenever someone gets killed, instead of disappearing from the anxiety screen, their name will now remain and be marked as "DEAD".

  • The ghost can now crawl on the ground while hunting, making it harder to loop.

  • Whenever no one is inside the house anymore, either because they escaped just in time or because their friends were killed, the hunt will now automatically end.

  • Removed the film grain/noise effect the night vision had.

Misc

  • Renamed Overkill to Professional.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed a bug where right-clicking anywhere in the laptop could open the ghost wiki without clicking a ghost name.

  • Fixed a bug where the sound of the crucifix burning could continue after it had been used.

  • Fixed a bug where the night vision grain could remain on screen.

  • Fixed a bug where opening the tablet while using night vision could mess up your vision.

  • Fixed a bug where you had to click on the letters of the search box to type a name in.

Note

  • I am working on the open mic setting and fixing the previous issues realted to it, I'm hoping to have it in the next update.
