This update reworks both UV evidence and temperature mechanics, while also improving several ghost behaviours, photo rewards, UI elements, and the lobby arcade.
Temperature now responds dynamically to the ghost’s location, its favourite room, and whether the power is on or off.
With the power on, the location sits at around 12°C / 54°F.
With the power off, the location drops to around 10°C / 50°F.
The ghost room constantly loses heat, gradually reaching approximately 3°C / 37°F before hovering around that temperature.
Turning off the breaker lowers the temperature throughout the entire location, including the ghost room.
The room the ghost is currently occupying will cool noticeably. Once the ghost leaves, that room will gradually warm back up.
Freezing temperatures can only occur inside the ghost room once it has fully cooled down.
Ghosts without Freezing Temperatures evidence will never lower the ghost room below 0°C / 32°F.
A freezing ghost can still eventually create freezing temperatures even when it rarely visits its ghost room, although this will take considerably longer.
UV evidence is no longer found through traditional door and light switch fingerprints.
Door and light switch UV prints have been removed completely.
Ghosts with UV evidence now leave traces on floors and walls as they move around the location.
Only a limited number of UV traces can exist at once.
UV traces disappear after 20 seconds.
Searching a room and finding no traces does not necessarily mean the ghost lacks UV evidence.
Reworked the Hantu’s temperature based hunt speed.
The Hantu’s hunt speed now changes depending on the surrounding temperature:
-10°C to 4°C: Very fast
4°C to 6°C: Normal speed
6°C to 10°C: Slow
Added two new unique UV prints for the Wraith.
All Ghosts cool down the current room they are in (Apart from Goryo)
Changed the Goryo’s temperature behaviour so it no longer cools its current room.
The Wraith leaves a unique smeared UV print that no other ghost can produce.
Reworked the temperature system.
Reworked UV evidence.
Increased the Possessed Doll photo reward from $10 to $15.
Added UV evidence as a $15 photo reward.
The Thermometer now updates its reading faster.
Player-controlled ghosts can see the UV traces they create without any UV light
