10 New Ghosts, New Equipment, New Evidence & Progression | Major Update

Change Log v0.12.0.0

Added

• Items now preserve their exact state when dropped, thrown, or switched between slots. A burning smudge stick keeps burning. A spirit box mid-response keeps talking. A lit candle stays lit.

• Localization - You can now play Abnormality in several different languages:

  • English

  • Brazilian Portugese

  • Russian

  • Chinese

  • Spanish

  • Japenese

  • German

• CCTV system. Bring your own cameras to each location, place them before fully starting the match, and monitor live feeds from the tent.

• Photo camera. Take photographs during investigations.

• Working lights, light switches, and a full breaker system added.

• Item progression system. You start with basic entry-level gear and unlock better, more reliable equipment as you play.

• Easter Trophy has been added for everyone who earned that (huge apologies for the delay).

• Over double the number of items in the game. New tools, new gadgets, and new ways to investigate.

  • New items such as Thermal Imaging Camera, Sound Recorder, Demonic Mask & more.

• Lobby customization. Decorate and personalize your base between investigations.

• Perfect Game Bonus. Players can now earn a perfect game by completing the investigation at the highest level.

• Abnormal Temperatures. Temperature evidence now works in both directions. Some ghosts run ice cold. Others burn hot. Knowing which is which is now part of the identification process.

• Communication instead of Spirit Box as evidence. You can now use several equipment to get the communication evidence (instead of strictly using spirit box for spirit box evidence).

• True first person. See your own body, see dead players, and experience over 20 new player animations.

Quality of Life

• A lot has been added to introduce several quality of life features to the game, including loadout presets, the ability to kick players from the lobby, lobby codes, additional settings, and many other improvements throughout the game.

Maps

All maps feature the new lights and breaker system. All maps have been updated to support the new CCTV camera placement system.

• Willow Creek Cottage has been completely rebuilt, and the other maps will be getting their rebuilds pushed as updates over the following weeks & months.

Ghost AI Overhaul

• Completely overhauled ghost AI. Ghosts now make smarter, more dynamic decisions throughout the investigation.

• 10 brand new ghost types, each with unique behavior, a distinct hunt pattern, and a lore-accurate unique ability.

• 25+ new ghost events.

• New hunting behavior and logic.

• Ghost footsteps now reflect movement speed in real time. A fast ghost sounds fast. A slow ghost sounds slow. Learn to listen.

• New ghost animations across the board.

• New ghost sounds across the board.

• Ghost behavior descriptions have been rewritten across all ghost types to be cleaner and more informative.

UI

• Laptop UI fully redesigned from the ground up. Cleaner, faster, and better.

• Tablet overhauled to support the photo gallery, and new investigation data.

• New UI for the progression and item unlock screen.

• Brand new settings menu with much deeper customization options, giving players more control over their experience.

  • Added support for upscaling with DLSS, and similar technologies.

Balancing

• Starter difficulty significantly rebalanced. New players and players coming from other ghost hunting games will find the early experience more familiar and approachable.

• Difficulty now ramps gradually, introducing Abnormality's harder mechanics over time rather than all at once.

• Smudge sticks reworked. New uses added alongside existing ones.

• Evidence gathering speed adjusted across difficulty levels.

• Perfect Game Bonus added as an extra reward for players who complete flawless investigations.

Improvements

• Major performance improvements across all maps.

• Multiplayer stability improvements.

• Dozens of bug fixes across all existing systems.

There are many more additions to the game than can be listed here, including new foundational systems, backend improvements, and countless other changes. No release ever survives contact with a full player base perfectly, so if you run into any bugs, send them my way and I'll get on them as quickly as possible.

Cheers,
