It's officially the spooky week, and Phasmophobia is celebrating with another big patch. The Nightmare update launches today with a new campsite map, four ghosts, a weather system, and a difficulty setting sharing the new version's namesake.
Phasmophobia just dropped its 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Exposition update back in August, but the team at Kinetic is back already with more creepy additions for investigators brave enough to leave the truck. The Nightmare update looks like it may be even bigger, as it adds its first new map since the prison, Maple Lodge Campsite. The campsite is described as a medium-sized map,💛 filled with picnic areas, games, tents, a cabin, and a lake.💞 Kinetic also notes that the campsite has more unique objects and detail—something planned for other locations later on.
All difficulty modes have been reworked in the Nightmare update, too. Amateur, Intermediate, and Professional all got slight changes. Harder difficulties take away some of your usual hiding places, sanity pills won't work as well as the challenge climbs, and doors will open more often to throw you off. Halloween is also bringing you Nightmare difficulty, where ghosts won't even reveal their final piece of evidence to you. Your investigation's target will also change its preferred room more, while some equipment doesn't always work, and ghosts can continue to hunt even after killing someone.
You're also getting a weather system—just to make your Asylum runs a little more hellish with an added layer of fog. According to Kinetic's patch notes, its new system will add a weather forecast for every contract, with events like clear skies, fog, light rain, heavy rain, strong wind, and light snow. Temperature changes outside can have an impact on how you read for the ghost's location, while storms can make it harder to hear in spooky noises.
New otherworldly haunts join the investigation as The Twins, Onryo, Obake, and Raiju. The Twins mimic each other's actions and confuse their prey, and the journal points out their advantage is numbers since either twin can attack at any time. The downside is, they've both got a temper and tend to react at the same time, so seeing two ghosts is a dead giveaway of what you're dealing with. The Obake "has been seen taking on humanoid shapes to attract their prey," so it sounds like it can pretend to be one of your friends. Trust no one.
There's a ton of other small tweaks that shake things up in Nightmare. Several sounds should have a new fade effect, fingerprints only last 60 seconds, ghost hunt times have been changed, and the Parabolic can pick up a few new sounds. It's a pretty lengthy list, so make sure you check it out before your next investigation. The last update sent Phasmophobia's player count on Steam to new highs, so perhaps you'll have more folks to scream with this weekend as Halloween approaches.
