Phasmophobia is probably the scariest of the scary VR titles I have ever played on PCVR with my quest headset, its even scarier when you play the game alone compared to the multiplayer experience!

Phasmophobia Tempest Update -

Custom Difficulty
With the addition of Custom Difficulty, we’ve seen so many exciting, unique and challenging games being created, but we’d like to redirect what the purpose of Custom games is, and there are several reasons why:
We’d like Custom Difficulty to be primarily used for fun and interesting games, with unique twists, similar to other games with a “Custom games” mode, without the worry of how much you’re getting out of it.
It’s very difficult to balance each option’s rewards to have a corresponding and fair reward multiplier. Because of this, it’s incredibly quick to create games that are potentially much easier or faster than their default difficulty counterparts but give the same or even more rewards, which makes the default modes redundant.
With our analytics and player data, we can see that the large majority of players still play Intermediate and Professional.
Having a set reward per custom option makes them very fragile and limits what we can change for the default difficulties, or any future difficulties we’d like to add to the game.
Lastly, with the large upcoming changes with Progression 2.0, we’d like experience and money to be gained fairly for every player, and try to avoid any cheesy reward tactics if we can.
Because of these reasons, we’re making the following changes to Custom’s rewards:
Custom Difficulty will now have an 80% reduction applied to the reward multiplier
We know this is a huge change, but this should separate custom games into a challenge and fun mode, and keep the default difficulties as the main route for character progression.

In the second part of this major update (coming soonTM), we’ll be adding something special for those wanting a regular, harder challenge than Nightmare and something super special!

Note: Current and future challenges (like the Apocalypse Challenge) will still be accessible in Custom and still grant trophies for your collection.

Investigation bonuses
To compensate for the above changes, we’re adding some additional rewards for playing well in the default difficulties, which will reward players who have the sharpest eye for ghost identification.

We’ll also be changing the rewards for secondary objectives, to encourage players to complete the primary objective each game instead of ignoring it.
Added “Payments” page to the journal

Investigation bonus
If you can identify the ghost correctly and escape alive, you will double the money and experience you earn for the primary and secondary objectives you complete during that contract!

Perfect Investigation bonus
If you manage to complete the above but additionally; collect the bone, and fill your journal with 3-star photos, you will gain an additional sum of money and experience on top of the Investigation bonus!
Secondary objectives have had their rewards reduced to make way for the Investigation bonuses
Note: Investigation bonuses are affected by the difficulty multiplier!

With every update, we like to look into which ghosts need some love. We found that some ghosts needed some buffs and some needed changes to help with low evidence runs!

All ghosts
Hunting ghosts’ model flickers are now synced across all players (which should also help hunt photo reliability)
When hunting, ghosts now affect lights at the same range as equipment, if on the same floor.
Raiju – 15m
All other ghosts - 10m

Wraith
Wraiths have been adjusted to match their journal description better
Wraith will never step in a salt pile
Updated journal weakness

Obake
Obake have finally remembered how to shapeshift!
During a hunt, Obake have a 6.66% chance each time it flickers to shapeshift into a different ghost’s form. They will then return back to their original form.
This is guaranteed to happen at least once per hunt, so keep your eyes peeled!

Revenant
The legendary Revenant has been left behind in the ranks of the new threatening ghosts. So, we’re finally returning some former glory to the speed beast, and adjusting how this ghost hunts, hopefully placing them back on the podium!
Instead of slowing down instantly after losing line of sight, Revenant will keep their increased speed until reaching your last known position
Their speed will now decrease gradually over 2.7 seconds (0.75m/s) instead of instantly

Goryo
As Goryo have a history of disobeying their roaming changes, we’ve finally put an end to the over-exploring ghost
Goryo can no longer change favorite room or roam long distances

Hantu
Hantu’s secret ability’s visuals have been adjusted
Hantu cold breath will now play in any room during hunts if the breaker is off
Hantu cold breath visuals have been improved

Yurei
Yurei can no longer use their ability when there is no door in its current room
