[gusty folio]

Remove when you all your team does your load out goes away 😭🙏

[mighty oyster]

Custom difficulty option for item slots:
Default is set to 3 but can be set from 1-6.

Value < 3 awards larger multiplier but less slots for items
Value > 3 awards significantly smaller multiplier but more slots for items
Value = 6 clamps at 0.00x

Or this could not change the mult at all to not interfere with the Apocalypse challenge

[steel finch]

Fourth!

[rugged vault]

Steam Workshop that gets verified maps so that both PC and Console players are able to play on them (basically Downloadable Content)
Allows for community content creations and allows for natural growth of the game

[runic forge]

Practice room in the lobby that cycles random ghosts so you can practice without going into a match.

[terse bridge]

What if there was a cursed object that jumbled your movement controls (i.e. W goes left, A goes right, S goes forward, and D goes back) and taking sanity meds puts it back to normal?

[deft quiver]

Replace Vivox with Discord Social SDK for voice chat and many other features (some already planned)

• Completely Free (for you and me)
• Includes cross platform friends list
• Uses discord voice servers for ingame chat
• End-users do not need a discord account to use chat
• Provides callbacks with raw audio for use in post-processing systems (proximity chat effects, for example)
• Share and join lobby invites directly in discord

Others:

• Massive haunted house map with secret passages for shortcuts
• Backpacks/duffel bags for solo players to drag equipment around with
• New custom setting: Number of Ghosts
• New custom setting: select a ghost - 0x multiplier, costs money per investigation
• Rewards for those who grind for the leaderboard
• Purchasable badges (if not included with character customization update, in-game money only)
• Make mare, goryo, and/or jinn gender locked
• add a 200% ghost speed setting in customs bc ghost go brrrrrrrrr

[fresh sorrel]

Dead teammates could be seen from dots or heard with spirit box or the paranormal headphones

[dense pebble]

Go ahead, spit it out

[winged torrent]

Ghost concept idea I made a year ago (summarized):

Ghost Type: Draugr

Evidence: EMF 5, DOTS, Ghost Writing

Strength: Enhanced waypoint memory. Ghost can set waypoints on people that it sees/touches during ghosts events in addition to hunts (only marks the nearest player). During a hunt, it will always check that location there first before doing its normal patrol (100% chance as opposed to another ghost's 50% chance). Ability works between floors.

Weakness: Higher chance of leaving EMF 5 (33% chance). Requires a minimum of 30s in-between hunts instead of 25s.

Hidden ability: 50% chance of teleporting to a player's last marked position before starting a hunt a moment later. Teleportation is solely because natural roaming may take too long to complete on larger maps. Hunt is briefly delayed to prevent potential issues with teleporting on top of a crucifix.

Miscellaneous stats: Hunts at 60% average team sanity.

[signal mist]

Ability to make a nickname on game so you dont HAVE to keep your regular tag there in case people wanna stream and others dont want their names out there or just to make it more personalized in general♡

[ornate saffron]

Toggle ready, so you don't have to keep readying up. When maps change or people leave/join

[ornate saffron]

Make a category of unique items that can be used for interesting weekly events. They could be items from ghost hunting shows, "experimental" types of gear that do unique things (both new and based on existing evidence gathering gear), etc. It would also be a good way to replace the tier 1 headgear without having to remove it from the game, to keep it for challenges. Right now the tier 1 headgear is functionally useless in singleplayer and is not useful when you have any of the video cameras available.

[foggy onyx]

You could add this communication system to spectator mode and the messages will only be seen once you have a uv object (i saw this on twitter)

[ashen leaf]

Kinetic Games may often gauge feedback for both major and minor updates, typically a couple weeks after their release. Check the Feedback category for any open forum channels!

If there are none open, feel free to place your unofficial game suggestions or ideas in the #fan-suggestions channel (note: unofficial channel that developers will not utilize, it is merely an outlet for your ideas)!

[mellow radish]

I can wait a chance to have a mode to play a ghost with our friends to it would be amazing

[knotty salmon]

I hope this is the right channel for this
But can we please have LEGACY options to still have access to the old maps and player models before their reworks?
I'm very fond of the current player models and I wholeheartedly miss the old maps...

Thank you kindly for your spooktacular work with this game!! Me and my friends have enjoyed it so much ever since it's launch and we can't wait to see what comes next!

[cyan pecan]

Have a text chat like in repo where you can type and it says it out loud for people who might not be able to use voice chat for many different reasons (mute, no mic, etc)

[little cloak]

Add Dingus Bingus back to Edgefield no one cares about that dog

[rugged vault]

that or just have a text chat, and allow for switching to items with 12345 etc instead of just Scroll Wheel and Q

[west gull]

Reverse Banshee: It ignores its target until they are the last player standing.

Hide and Seek Mode: One player plays as the ghost, and the others have to hide.

[dim saffron]

This is new

[daring gate]

That would lead to flase ev

[steep narwhal]

Steam does this free.

[signal mist]

Not all players are on steam.

[daring gate]

Something like this would be nice to have more lore and ghost to tell their storys

[fresh bridge]

That’s not allowed here. Thanks.

[wheat arch]

Before adding any new content, please fix the current list of known issues.... especially taking pictures and especially taking DOTs pics....

[west gull]

What happend?

[fresh bridge]

Nothing we need to recap

[digital coyote]

no mobile port?

[steep narwhal]

Will never happen. Quest 3 has dedicated graphics processing and cant even handle it.

You can stream GeForce now in mobile and play phasmo

[digital coyote]

phas’s graphics are kinda buns so thats surprising

[hot yoke]

I would love to see an in-game text chat be added! I also think it'd be really nice if players could toggle an "only record unique videos" setting from van recordings because it's really easy to get things like duplicate salts and stuff, which makes the limited deletes pretty frustrating.

[mighty oyster]

My concept for custom maps. You could switch between kinetic maps and community custom maps which can be made in some form via a built-in editor or something else. Maps would need to be verified (inspired by GD) in order for players to be able to receive rewards. Maps are sorted via verified and their popularity (number of favorites). you can favorite maps to quickly view and play them later, plus search and filter functions for narrowing down maps.

The ? in the image would be a map thumbnail, i just didnt want to bother making one :p.

If a custom map is chosen all clients will download the map and offload them when leaving the lobby. I have no idea how load times would work with maps prob in the gigabytes (which may be most of them) cuz I dont have experience with it but whatever. Ik this will never be added but i did it for funnies

[steep narwhal]

Ok

[winged torrent]

That would be cool but I wouldn't implement the option to tell them the evidences.

[stoic gale]

found dis one day on a yt short and uh i think its cool (FULL CREDIT TO THE GUY I HIGHLIGHTED HIS NAME)

[calm bloom]

The option to use keybinds (1, 2, 3, 4) to navigate inventory instead of just Q and scroll wheel!

[little field]

I use throwing items to communicate (1 drop for yes, 2 for no) while the other ask questions (if we had an evidence, know the ghost, show evidence they can take a picture of, etc)

[untold ginkgo]

I feel we need cross platform progression for those that do have the game on all platforms! Trying to grind say the winter event on all 3 was impossible and it will help with cheaters having a phasmo account… sea of thieves have it and it’s great if I can’t play on Xbox I can load up my steam deck and carry on … plus twitch drops means you have to decide which platform you want them to go to rather than having them on all

[pine oyster]

we need a friend join menu so we can join way easier

[runic cove]

Hey devs. I have something that I'd want to discuss with the you, mainly CJ. I think it will be a game changer and help move the game forward into the future.

Is it possible to get in contact with someone from the dev team?

Thanks in advance.

[dusty vapor]

So had few ideas which i think would make the game more interesting including the following:

Adding in so more players are able to join and enjoy larger groups playing is something i think would benefit the game and encourage more players to play bigger maps like sunny meadows and allows more fun throughout gaming and streaming.

The other bits would be suggestions of adding more to the game for once you die where there are tasks for you to complete allowing you to try and work with the team or allowing you to interact with lights etc confusing team members of where the ghost is for those looking for more devious games of tourmenting alive team mates.

Also challenge mode should have more multiplier as yes after completion getting 5k is great but should be atleast same multiplier as professional to ensure its worth more upon completing to level up etc

[plucky heath]

I have a few ideas that the game would be better.

1. Mcdonalds partnership.
   Mcdonalds map, with the ghost skins being, Ronald Mcdonald, and all the other mcdonalds characters, mcdonalds worker. Must include the beeping sound 24/7. can reduce chances of hunt by working mcdonalds shift but orders get harder and harder and if you fail, you get instant hunt. A McHunt, McLooping. Ice cream machine is broken.

2. More things to do when dead.

have a good day/night devs.

[steel rose]

(read the bot message above yours), but if you want to suggest something, post it here. The devs don't have any kind of official suggestions open.

[fresh bridge]

Oh Discord lag lol sorry Bourbon

[runic cove]

Right so I posted it here, like the bot said to do 🫡

[steel rose]

A rework of the reward system. As it stands, the reward system still feels skewed towards one-hunt strats rather than incentivising perfect games. Whilst there is merit with one-hunts, it really only uses a subset of a person's ghost identifying abilities. Here is my proposed change that would still allow speedrunning/one-hunts with less efficiency, but really incentivise perfect games.

1. Change the Investigation bonus. Only give the bonus if they get the ghost correct AND complete at least one additional objective. Give 50% of the bonus if they complete two objectives, 75% of the current bonus if they get three objectives and the full additional 100% if you complete four objectives. Increase the reward that harder or longer to get objectives give (such as the x number of photos / videos / sounds).

2. Increase the Perfect Investigation Bonus. Currently, it gives 50 times by the multiplier. Give it 200 on a small map, 250 on a medium map, 300 on a large map.

3. With the perfect bonus in mind, I'd love to see a change to how the bone spawns on the map.

   a) Dependant on the size of the map, spawn the bone within a set radius of the ghost room on the same floor, numbers as follows
   Within 30m on a Large Map (within 15m if the ghost is a Goryo)
   Within 20m on a Medium Map (within 10m if the ghost is a Goryo)
   Within 10m on a Small Map (within 5m if the ghost is a Goryo)

   This would make the bone a lot less of a chore to find (especially on larger maps), but far enough to give a little bit more of a challenge on higher difficulties where time is of the essence.

   b) Within the room it spawns in, designate set locations where the bone can spawn (this ensures the bone doesn't get stuck in a chair, under a mat or hiding somewhere it shouldn't be.

[little walrus]

a few map suggestions based around where kinetic are based in southampton:
small- tudor house(haunted)
large- football stadium
medium- netley abbey(haunted)
not sure - gods house tower(haunted)
small - red lion inn(haunted)
medium/large- mayflower theater
small - central station
medium- seacity museum

[terse anvil]

You know what will be fire? A train map, where each car is a different room

[eager sigil]

BIGGER LOBBY PLEASE

[remote vessel]

Something similar to the sound sensor but you can progect your voice from the truck or somewhere else in the house. Something like that

[silent pebble]

I wish the game would let you hide your levels and prestige

[tired junco]

sounds cool

[obtuse whale]

More weather options would be cool, like a blizzard, or a sandstorm. Or idk a tornado or something

[upbeat aurora]

Hoping with the upcoming switch to Unity 6 that they will support macOS

[maiden glen]

Cursed Ritual Mask, and maybe Cursed Tiki figure with red glowing eye gemstones. I heard about haunted stories of Tiki god figures cursing people, like misfortune, bad luck, and nightmares. Shrunken Head is a good one too

[signal mist]

Make it so if YOU block someone, they cant join your lobby. Not just if theres a blocked player, but if YOU blocked them, they shouldn't be able to join.

[glacial mirage]

Some type of ghost that plays around the bone / dead bodies, like a ghoul

Finding the bone and interacting with it could change the way this ghost behaves, and if someone dies it could also change its behavior

[polar widget]

add ghosts pls

[twilit cairn]

I just had a thought that there should be some kind of indicator if you're muted because so often one of my friends will have voice off and not notice

[fresh bridge]

Do they have it on toggle?

[twilit cairn]

I mean, yeah but people sometimes forget. Not everyone remembers to look lol. I know there's a mic at the bottom.... but like, on some games you can see who's talking. The mic systems are connected so they could be able to show who is talking that way

[fading flicker]

probably a really copy & paste request
add a feature where the player could be the ghost
itl probably never happen, i know
ive considered moving to another game where this feature is which is similar to phasmophobia and is also free, most likely wont change but still

heres how it will work

along with the basic gamemodes there will be a Player-Ghost feature unlocked by reaching custom gamemode
there will be a button known as 'Player as ghost' and they will be able to select their type of ghost
(rewards will be disabled like in 'friendly ghost' and 'disable losing items and consumables')
they would be able to do things like hunt, interact, give evidence or event based on their ghost selection
the player-ghost would be forced to give off an evidence at a random time between every 5-15 minutes, making the game possible to beat
the ghost would also have the same traits as the selected ghost type, for example, the hantu selection would be faster in cold areas rather than warm
they also would not be able to kill the investigator as long as they are in a hiding spot, a spot that they are concealed from clear vision, quiet or if the ghost is not a Deogen
they would also only be able to hunt within the built-in limiters so like how ghosts cant hunt during the peacetimer and setup period
or how ghosts (excluding the demon) would be able to hunt >50 sanity

[tropic spear]

Death tolls would rise because you can't exactly loop your friend unless they're a slow ghost

[lucid sun]

I would like that if a map is reworked rather than just updated, that we get a choice to play old vs new of that map. Like with Grafton, a choice to select the farmhouse or the torn down version. This to help with people who either do not like the reworks or to give the option to go back and play the original.

[sudden notch]

I’d love to see a setting for hosts to be able to select some sort of “legacy” setting that lets us play old versions of maps in custom matches

Such as the original farmhouse and so on

[silk dagger]

Put a fish in every map for no reason whatsoever

[wooden spoke]

Ghost idea
By Gloomy Nook

Trickster

Tricksters love to play with their victims. They enjoy scaring them and watching them run. But beware - if you overstay your welcome, they can become very vicious...

Strength:
If you stay too long nearby, Trickster will become angry and more eager to hunt.

Weakness:
Tricksters are more interested in playing with their victims than in ending their life. As long as they play along.

Evidences:
Ghost writing, ghost orbs, ultraviolet

Abilities:
Trickster base hunting sanity threshold is 20%. However, for every minute spent near the ghost, it is raised by 2%. Tricksters hunt duration is 20% longer.
Trickster can stalk their victims.

Special interactions:
Higher chance of drawing a Fool card when using Tarot cards.
Have a chance to lie when using Ouiji board.
Higher chance to do a fake hunt event.
Increased interaction chance and interaction range.
Higher chance of throwing placed video camera.
Slight chance of giving unique ghost writing evidence ("ha ha ha" written all over the pages).

[ornate saffron]

Easter eggs in every map. They don't have to be hugely elaborate. But ones where you activate them by doing something would be more fun.

[last zinc]

Customise the lobby:

Add some different areas and backgrounds for the lobby, like maybe the old phasmo lobby or the outside of a map or whatever else you can think of, or a choice to display certain trophies or favourite trophies, or favourite Id cards, and maybe a spot to list favourite maps, ghosts, item, cursed object etc

[deft quiver]

yeah lobby personalization sounds good, give it your own asthetic, i.e. i'd make everything black and have ash floating around in the air, low lighting, essentially like a "dark mode" lobby, people who join your lobby can see it all and enjoy it with you

[azure fractal]

Add a feature where you could link a console account to your PC account, or PC account to console account on Phasmophobia.

[vernal peak]

Can yall perhaps vary the option of maps instead of giving Camp Woodwind for every weekly challenge?

[dense yarrow]

Emotes would be hilarious tbh

[deft quiver]

Expand on filters by allowing a minimum and maximum multiplier
remove ready up system, give host full control, too many times someone says "i'll be right back" and doesn't ready up for us.

[placid mesa]

Hi ! Could we have cross-platform progress ? 🙂

[terse anvil]

I WISH!

[modest yew]

would be fun to create your own custom maps

[fallen cove]

Is there any chance that I could provide security to the server? I would like to, if possible.

[obtuse whale]

Can they make freddy fazbear a ghost type?

[wicked quiver]

How about this.

I'mi still new at playing this game.

And when the ghost is huntin,g the door to the front of whatever buildling you're in, closes and locks. There is a lock symbol on it when you try to open it and you can't as long as the ghost is hunting.

How about this.

how abut when we are ABLE to open to door. TAKE THE BLOODY LOCK SYMBOL OFF!!!

it's confusing and frustrating for newer players because we think we CAN'T open it when in actuality we MIGHT be able to.

[terse anvil]

That's 10 reactions that should mean it gets added to the game right?

[versed spear]

There should be a setting where Cruxifix skin could be changed to people who believe its againsts reglious beliefs, and where it could just look like a rod of some sort

[civic nymph]

A button that lets you go back to the legacy version when the rework comes out

[merry marsh]

This I like because I expect the rework may be more on the realistic side of things graphics wise, and while I would like more realistic house textures and player characters them ghosts are scary enough in the dark. Maybe something in the graphics settings were we can make the ghost look more or less scary like how grounded has arachnophobia mode where you can make the spiders look less scary.

Though one thing I would like to see also added in is equipment skins for all of our equipment, like when we get badges and prestige we can paint our equipment to match.

[kindred wasp]

Ghosts should hunt less on the living room because it’s the LIVING room…. You feel me?

[trail basin]

Alr this may sound rlly weird, but what if we had to take everything back to the truck after we have found what ghost it is?

It will work like this:

1. You find what ghost type it is.
2. You send in what ghost it is in the truck so you can't lose that atleast.
3. When you have sent in what ghost it is you get a broom and an extra Sanity medication (1 for each person)
4. You take everything out while the ghost can still hunt.
5. With the broom you sweep up the salt.
6. You go back to the truck and place everything in the right order.
7. If you think it is another ghost you change it, otherwise you leave

Extra:

1. If it is an outside map or a map that is destroyed before you will not have to sweep up the place but just take everything back to the truck

[merry marsh]

Ghost flipper, now we're trying to decorate the house while being hunted.

[obtuse whale]

Abandoned mall would make a great map, you could even close some of the storefronts to make a restricted variant

[digital bay]

Option to disable the eye adaption on consoles, sometimes this can be very annoying.

[tepid radish]

I agree with that one, when i play during the day i have to stand around for a minute before entering the house because even with the flashlight i cant see anything

[fresh bridge]

@digital bay and @tepid radish if it helps that is currently in the internal testing phase for the game

[tepid radish]

that does help very much. hopefully with all the new updates I saw planned this year it might be somewhere in the patches

[wheat gale]

Suit case or backpack item that allows you to transport more items at once, especially useful on big maps.

Balanced because you'd need to place it down to get items out of it

But this would significantly improve the player experience on point hope and other maps that require a ton of travel in and out of the map.

[ornate saffron]

Change the bone to an "object of importance". (could be a keepsake, a document, a diary, a photo or something). Have a photo of the object, and a description of where it was left in the journal (more vague on smaller maps, less on larger maps). That way you have an idea of where to look for it from the beginning.

[nocturne iron]

Cemetery/Mausoleum map

[tepid portal]

I've got a ghost idea, the Bodach, otherwise known as the bogeyman. This ghost would be the first exclusively male ghost, similar to banshee and dayan. It's evidence would be spirit box, ghost orbs, and ultraviolet. It would have unique mechanics such as being able to spawn a hunt at any chimney in a map, since they're known for lurking in them. It's weakness would be if it is shined with a flashlight, it will slow down a bit, but its strength is that it will be faster the next hunt. I just had this idea and wanted to see how we felt lol.

[deft quiver]

i remember that movie lol
rip anton yelchin

[obtuse whale]

A phasmo battlepass once the character customization drops. $19.99 a month for exclusive character, and ghost skins. On top of special badges as well. Also add a shop and a new rarer in-game currency called soul gems. And exclusive maps that utilize this new currency. This is a joke please never do this

[wanton python]

I would like to be able to pick up more food and stuff at Nell's Diner. Let me take home some waffles man.

[gritty ether]

An extra chance after getting caught by the ghost? Like, have the ragdoll of the victim get flung across a room then wake back up.

[jade iris]

• It would be fun if the dead player can talk to the remaining players through Spirit Box, Ouija Board, and all sound items.
• Can be seen through Video Camera with Dots present.
• Can write on walls or anywhere and can only be seen with UV light (The dead player literally does nothing but stand there until the end)
• A new ghost, like the Strigoi

[void lotus]

Please Phasmaopbia add Keyboard and Mouse support to Phasmaopbia across all devices, it would be a simple update that allows PS5, XBOX, Switch, whatever, to play Keyboard and Mouse.
I have one and really want to use it on this game

[fresh bridge]

If it helps to know this is on the Trello board

-trello

[ashen leaf]

Kinetic Games has a Trello Board! There you can see potential upcoming updates, features, and fixes. You can find the Trello @ https://trello.com/b/9QrnqQ1j/phasmophobia.

[wheat gale]

maybe dead players have an energy meter they can use trying to communicate through the spirit box etc

[hearty juniper]

New evidence: REM Pod

REM pods are ghost hunting devices irl that generate a small electromagnetic field and loudly beep when the field is disturbed.

Ghosts with REM pod evidence have a chance to trigger the pod when they perform an EMF-generating action within a close enough proximity to the pod. Higher tiers have more range, are louder(but with a loudness cap so you don’t lose your hearing and/or real life sanity) , and are more likely to be triggered.

[fresh harbor]

Idea for the mimic yall should make where the mimic can mimic other people like voices

[ornate saffron]

One thing the game could use for times when it starts to get stale;

Minigames:

Seek: Start with no gear except a T1 firelight and a matchbox with 2 matches. 2 of each evidence item spawns randomly in the map. Find the gear to find the ghost.

Overtime: At the end of the round instead of returning to the lobby, the game loads you into the next map (random, but can be filtered by map size). Every 3 rounds you can leave or continue for another 3. Any gear not brought back to the van wall at the end of the round is lost. If you die, you can respawn when the next map loads. If you all die, the game ends, and you lose everything earned so far (risk-reward). Every time you continue, a small bonus is added to your game score at the end of the round.

[obtuse whale]

Put me in the phas movie. I don't have any prior acting experience. So when do I start?

[weary summit]

Hear me out, kbm play for consoles, and an abandoned fire fire station, if the ghost is in the same room as a firetruck it will be able to trigger its horn and sirens. And you could use the pole to get your equipment quicker

[uneven quartz]

Love this game but if i put a lighter next to one of the gas tanks while its on in bleasedale farmhouse it doesn't explode :( literally unplayable /j

[snow wing]

Idea for the implementation of future ghost types:
Since new players would have to face 27+ ghost types at the start of the game, what if game modes automatically and randomly redacted a certain amount of ghosts, narrowing down the possibilities of the ghost?
this would mean that evidence isn't cancelled out, but it would also make some experiences more manageable and on higher difficulties, this can not be used.
It would make the implementation much easier as a cap of 30 or so ghosts would make more varied and enjoyable games that are not overwhelming to any player.

[shadow pond]

An unstuck button/command that teleports you to the truck
Doesnt work outside of hunts

But itd be nice bc my friend keeps getting stuck, especially in the school map
And the hunting ghost kept ignoring him so he wasnt able to die

[ornate saffron]

Monkey paw mode:

At the start of every round, each player gets 1 buff and 2 debuffs chosen at random.

Buffs can be stat boosts: Move speed +, sprint speed +, Duration between sprint reduced, reduced sanity drain, etc. Or unique buffs, like being able to see ghost footsteps when they move (would look like uv footprints but in a cyan colour, and steps would fade out every 2 seconds, wraith would still show no footsteps), carry one extra item, etc.

Debuffs would be the opposite of all the standard stat based buffs, plus some unique debuffs like, shaky hands (randomly drop held equipment every so often), electrical distortion (equipment randomly does the hunt distortion for a short period of time), Low battery (all flashlights produce less light and randomly flicker), heavy breathing (ghost can hear you when they are within 2 meters, so you cannot hide), etc.

[neat anvil]

So, I had an idea that came to me in a dream after work. I was quite sleep deprived, so I apologize for any nonsense. For moral and structural integrity though, I'm going to copy/paste the exact thing I sent my friend. Please enjoy, give feedback, call me an idiot, etc.

I’m about to go back to sleep for a couple more hours, but need to share this before I forget, because that’s how dreams work. I figured out how to make Phasmo better. Bring back name finding. But make it better. Difficulty decides how many first and last names are there to be found. Literally names written around the house. You have a book (different style for each location, but think official city records type thing) of previous residents of that location. For campgrounds, rosters of camp councilors and kids. For Nell’s Diner, maybe a list of employees and regular customers. Flesh it all out, give it some life by adding small details, like personality traits, favorite orders from Nell’s, etc etc. You find ghosts name by either finding small clues, OR you can even ask the ghost “What is your name?” Ghost can respond via Spirit Box, giving an evidence, Ouija Board, if it’s available, OR, when you ask, you hear the sound of footsteps running in a direction, and the slap of a hand, and the ghost will leave a handprint or fingerprint or something similar on its name written somewhere in the house. But it will only give one name, first or last. You still have to use the book to find full name. Finding its name is important. Add in an entire new ghost type whose ability gives it a chance to LIE when asked its name. Can be found out by asking its name multiple times, and its answer will change, similar to a Thaye’s age. Name it after some Celtic fae trickster spirit or some shit, I dunno.
Also, new map: Boat. Old fishing boat, yacht, cargo ship, etc. Put boat behaviors as randomish events.

[eternal pond]

Can we have new trophies for each of the new ghost types please? My completionist brain needs it

[covert oyster]

Ghost idea
As an parallel to the mimic
It sticks to an object
Instead of a favorite room
It does not change to a different favorite object
It can shapeshift its favored object though
It has writing dots emf5 and fake ghost orbs

[azure fractal]

Could you guys add cross-syncing to the game? If possible, thank you!

[little field]

give me more sprint :(

[inland raptor]

Custom night vision colors for teir 2+ cams (I heard ppl like the green over white and stuff so maybe having a Slider for it could give ppl more customization)

[obtuse whale]

What if, after you die you could occasionally see the ghost. Almost like a hallucination it'd flicker in and out of view on rare occasions. Doesn't do much besides that, but it'd keep you on your non-existent toes after you die

[uncut verge]

I would love to see an option to add people to friends list from other platforms. It would be nice to keep some people as friends without exchanging my discord with them.

[nova isle]

-Trello thankfully that's in the Trello "posted below by the bot" under the Networking rework tab

[ashen leaf]

Kinetic Games has a Trello Board! There you can see potential upcoming updates, features, and fixes. You can find the Trello @ https://trello.com/b/9QrnqQ1j/phasmophobia.

[warped nova]

Item concept:
Dreamcatcher [Consumable]

Similar to the crucifix, however it prevents the ghost from using its ability, Eventing or changing rooms:

T1: 4m radius
T2: 6m radius, different colour burn = different use (Red = Ability, Blue = Event, Green = Changing rooms)
T3: 8m radius, Different colour burns, 2 uses.

[keen sigil]

Sunny Meadows Update:
Add the upstairs to sunny meadows which is blocked off in the current game.
idk what could be there, maybe labs but would be a fun addition and lore expanding

Apoc 3 challenge will remain the same, so upper floor uncluded is purely for fun.

A new menu in the board with the maps where you can change what sunny meadows you will play (normal, restricted,(including the new upstairs wings) upstairs included)

Only issue is that the floor plan is extremely similar to the ground floor, but I imagine this floor is different in terms of rooms

[acoustic gate]

Rain Puddles for when it's raining would be a neat graphical addition to add.

[steep spire]

I'm sure it's something that's been brought up before but since it finally happened to me, please make ghost shape-shift count as a ghost video objective

[idle lodge]

Ok theses are for console PLAYERS ONLY

1. Teams - We need 5 or 6 man teams because I hate meeting or playing with friends and I have to choose who I want to play with because if you have a good party going you don't want to ruin it just because you can't bring a friend in

2. Designated Rolls - I feel like designated rolls will cut all the fighting for / not having the equipment and end the duplicates. Because why do 3 people need cameras and everyone is catching videos and nobody have Salt for uv or getting voice recordings

3. Item Wheel - 3 things isn't enough I need at least 4 to 5 plus the lighter. Because to many times have I been trying to get a video of a hunting ghost and died trying to use my incense so I can go hide and get caught up with the wrong item and get killed because I had to mad dash through my items just to find what I need.

4. Apocalypse Teams - I feel like Apocalypse should have a team mode because I know alot of people who haven't done it (especially new players) because they need to get trained on how it works and what they need to do.

5. Lifelines from the other side - I feel like you should do more being a ghost to help your teammates because just standing there watching every happen either gets boring or people don't leave in time and drag out the match. 1 idea that I made up I really like is called "1 Missed Call" or "Last Call" wherever there's a phone on the map you can manipulate it only 1 time and you can get 10 to 12 seconds to call from the afterlife to take to your teammates 1 last time to give them a clue about the ghost that they may have not gonna or missed.

Just some of the things I think would make the game fun to play more

[tight pelican]

new item: monitoring laptop. an item that allows players to access the vans camera/sound review systems to remotely record sounds or audio from inside the house, while avoiding direct contact with a ghost

[obtuse whale]

Add an rc that can monitor ghosts during hunts with minor electrical interferences. T1 would just be a standard rc with a camera poorly tapped onto it. T2 could be an rc with a built in camera and flashlight, and t3 could be a tactical rc with a higher quality camera and built in nightvision. Idk I just want to drive a car through sunny meadows

[hoary girder]

A bank map would be cool

[young current]

I think it would be cool to give the characters a watch on their person that they can start a time for hunts. Maybe put the time in the top left or something once started.

[lavish harness]

A stopwatch is actually a really good idea. T1 digital watch, T2 stopwatch(custom pocket watch optional), T3 similiar but triggers automatically or maybe for different things like events

I may have posted this before (sry dont remember) but item idea is bag/booksack/crate that can hold 2/3/4 respectively. Handy for solo players

[sterile agate]

With almost every old map getting reworked I feel like instead of getting rid of the old maps there should be a second page of maps dedicated to the legacy maps so players can still play on them instead of just having them be gone forever.

[deft quiver]

Let us setup a "tour" of investigations to complete, rather than doing one investigation, going back to the lobby, then setting up a new one.
We can drive the truck from warehouse to house to house, dropping players off at different houses so they can do different investigations in parallel. need another crucifix? gotta wait for the truck driver to bring some more to you. finish your investigation and ready to move on to the next one? gotta call the truck driver to pick you up, grab your evidence, and take you to the next house. bring your contract/evidence back to the warehouse at any point to turn it in for the rewards.

obviously this would be a huge overhaul of the entire game + networking but it would be so cool to see

[flat tapir]

More players allowed to join like more than 4 would be awesome at least up to 6

[simple plaza]

I have an suggestion for the prestiges name card here's the new name :

XI – Archivist

XII – Examiner

XIII – Theorist

XIV – Observer

XV – Interrogator

XVI – Decrypter, Decoder

XVII – Occultist

XVIII – Mediator

XIX – Supervisor

XX – Immortal

[steep narwhal]

If we did this in the horror 2.0 mechanics won't work

[night grove]

Remove the option to open the van after closing

[obtuse whale]

Add the ability to customize the lobby with posters, trinkets, and maybe even some new games. Make it so when you prestige your lobby doesn't get erased, allowing you to add onto it as you play. This could also give players that have reached prestige 20 something to spend their money on besides loadouts

[cold sinew]

Why is there not a daily for stealing cat photos? 😼

[weary summit]

Update the sanity screen to where u see the full profile of every player, badge, level etc. But the xp bar is the sanity level

[deft quiver]

add a new "stress" mechanic, the more stressed you are, the more sanity you lose. plus some other stuff idk

[obtuse whale]

To add onto the stress idea, maybe a "panic mode" where after certain requirements like: all your friends dying, or the ghost seeing you during a hunt you go through this panic which messes up your vision slightly and makes gives you temporary infinite sprint. You can also audibly hear your player character hyperventilating and the heartbeats are a lot quicker

[tepid portal]

Got a suggestion for a ghost, wanna see any goods or bads: The Ethiopian Zar. It will numerically drain sanity, leaching on the player with the most sanity, with the stopping points being 75% sanity, 50% sanity, 25% sanity, and lastly 0% sanity, it will linger to another person after a milestone is hit, and will continuously do so. If you smudge this ghost, it will have a normal smudge time, but it will not drain at sanity until after 90 seconds. Its ability is that it could make hallucinatory sounds to the person it's lingering to at the time, such as a fake interaction that only that user can hear, not see. Another thing is that this ghost will have higher odds to be female than male, as it goes in the stories.

T

[woeful rivet]

New ghost: aswang, a Filipino urban legend, I can't remember what else there is, but yeah, just any evidence is good

[obtuse whale]

Give us the abilty to hide in fridges.

[obtuse whale]

Implement a toggleable sprint meter

[spare rampart]

Make the tanglewood rework a different map and keep the original. In a lot of subdivisions and neighborhoods houses have the same floor plan. Have the rework be a different house on the same street so the players can still enjoy their favorite map

[obtuse whale]

How does this correlate with phas? Are they gonna announce phascoin?

[sly badger]

• Make a house randomizer system (for example games like Tactical Assault VR & many other games have it to where the houses each time can be randomized to make each map unique)
• Church/Cemetary Map
• Small store map
• Supermarket map

[balmy goblet]

Something stupid but since Banshee and Dayan always being a female is here so why not give it a try.
Raijūs in folklore are often said to only appear in thunderstorms, so maybe you could get only a raiju in-game if it was heavy rain and rain.

[brisk pelican]

would be better fit for #pet-pics but very cute :)

[granite stump]

There are 2 other Friday 13ths in 2026.... perhaps changing all the ghost names to creepy names for the day would be fun - Lizzy Borden, Jack Ripper (Adam Kosminski), etc.

[cosmic fable]

suggestion: hotel map. large map.

consists of ground floor, plus 3-6ish floors of 5-10 "hotel rooms" each.

ground floor consists of a handful of rooms; lobby, office, kitchen, buffet area, bathrooms, etc.

hotel rooms are each two seperate rooms consisting of the actual room (with tv, light, lamp), and a bathroom (with faucet and shower), and its own closet to hide in.
room floors have a "hallway" room. (and potentially an "ice/vending machine" room.)

potential extras:
an "elevator" that will move you between floors quicker than taking the stairs. tied to the breaker: if the breaker shuts off, it will open to whatever floor it's on at that moment, and will not be usable until the breaker is re-enabled.

maybe some outdoor "patio" areas on some of the hotel rooms?

i would donate my own work and free time to make this map a reality, man 😭 i'm so surprised that a game about ghosts and haunted locations has a school before a hotel

[bitter crane]

A ghost that imitates other players by clipping recordings of their mic.

They could pick one player in the lobby to 'hallucinate' where they cant see other players, but rather the ghost tries to imitate them and throw off the hallucinatee. They make the hallucinatee see fake players that aren't actually there

[obtuse whale]

A new ghost type "The lovers"

At the beginning of the round this ghost would select a primary model. Depending on the name, the primary ghost is faster than normal and does more interactions. The catch is that there's a secondary ghost as well that's slower than normal and does less interactions. The big thing is that they hunt at the same time. So you'll be chased by two ghosts during a hunt. Sounds a lot like the twins but it's different I swear!

To add onto this, the ghosts could do interactions together, and their evidence would be dots, freezing, and spirit box. You could see either ghost with dots.

[glossy oar]

What if…. You see BOTH or what if they BOTH do spirit box at the same time that ee be death
“An elderly GET OUT”

[obtuse whale]

Yeah that's a great idea, I imagine they'd also have unique interactions with the sound recorder and paramic

[glossy oar]

Imagine hearing one say “an elderly victim” except halfway it is interrupted with get out or smth “an elderly GET OUT”

[obtuse whale]

Having the voices overlap is a really good idea. I honestly think it should be a thing in game for ghosts like the twins

[glossy oar]

Real. Like imagine uh…. EMF level 10 from them if they interact at the same time. That would be insane, but what would be cooler is like a ghost event where they like split into two or combine into one that could be their modes like DEADLY if in split and not as deadly if combined (except a major speed boost). And maybe a whole new evidence for new ghosts like uh….. (besides emf 10 that would be a event) but like (my opinion what if there were new tier 4 items) for all ghosts but…… tier 4 have less chance to make this ghost split. (Kinda like obambo) crucifix can make em split but tier 4 would have way less chance for that and as you said two ghosts hunting at the same time would only happen if they split. (TLDR: CHAOS) the new evidence would be (like uh… super warm temps) above 100 degrees Fahrenheit.
(Did I just write a paragraph?)

[obtuse whale]

Yeah there're a lot of opportunities to make some really interesting ghosts, I like the suggestion of a really hot room being the ghost room. It'd be nice if kinetic actually read some of these from time to time,

[ornate saffron]

This might be performance intensive.
But I think one thing that would really help the games atmosphere would be wind/air flow (doesn't have to be a simulation, just something that feels right).

In the game whenever you hear something, you always know it's the ghost. I think having a bit of uncertainty would help give a bit more immersion.

Having air be able to move things like curtains, window frames, certain doors and objects that make sense (especially in windy or stormy weather) would really add to the atmosphere of the game (especially on the old rundown maps where having things slam in the wind would be creepy).
The easy way to tell if it was wind or the ghost would be to check with EMF. If it was wind, it wouldn't give off an EMF signal.

Have the ability to close windows to the house as well, like doors (and have them be open/closed by default based off difficulty). Doors/windows that are fully closed would not be affected by air flow (as if held by the latch). So they wouldn't be affected all the time.

[modern rivet]

Add achievements for discovering the Dayan, Obambo, and Gallu as well as for completing the challenges (Lighthouse Keeper, Ranger Challenge, Farmhouse Fieldwork, etc.)

[random dock]

im sorry to ask i know you guys are busy but i was wondering if yall can at one point can add a thing where u can connect a PlayStation and pc account together and keep everything like levels equipment and stuff like that again sorry to bother

[obtuse whale]

Add at least 10 more floors to point hope

[peak bramble]

Achievements/in-game trophies of the Gallu, Dayan, and Obambo, and more trophies for the Mimic trophy to flip to, maybe? It's really easy to tell there's ones missing considering the Mimic trophy never flips to the Twins' one at all lol

[stiff adder]

As the designated Van Guy™ who mans the video cameras I think it'd be nice if while in the camera I could flick through the sanity/EMF/map screens as well as the camera that way I can check on my fellow players' sanity/activity levels/location of Players or the power box really quick without having to disengage from the cameras, walk away from the screens to check sanity/EMF/map, and then walk back to reengage with the cameras

[hazy vale]

Make it to where you can hear the ghosts footsteps in the house. The sounds may or may not be coming from the correct room so it can throw you off as to where its really at.

[icy moss]

Can their be a ghost type that causes someone to hallucinate?

[slow sedge]

May be immediately tossed in the "no" pile, but another request for more players, even if it's restricted to certain maps or difficulty levels for balance. Dev time is being devoted to building in custom difficulty and scaling down big maps to get more traction with players, when finding a way to accommodate 1-2 more player slots would work wonders for player engagement and retention. I just wanna enjoy the game with 4 friends 🥲

[heavy hound]

Add crossplay progression

[plucky heath]

Hello, my idea is to make the Royal Caribbean Star of the seas into a offical map

[fresh bridge]

They can post a suggestion they want. Even if it’s been posted before.

[brisk lance]

add a ghost baddies

[white onyx]

Historical townsite. Medium map. Saloon, general store, stables, graveyard, stockade, little school, church, etc. Tons of variety with the ghost rooms being mostly separate physical locations.

[ornate saffron]

A spooky hiking trail could be a neat map. An old overgrown trail with twisted trees, and the "rooms" would be the sections between track markers. The map would be an outer loop with some connecting paths in between. At one point there would be a cliff with a makeshift grave overlooking water (ocean or lake). You would enter via a gate like the camp maps.

[patent finch]

Can we get teenage ghost sizes in the coming future. It’s weird having a teenage ghost with a child’s body. I would also love more cursed items and the ability to let dead teammates do more than just walk around and grab an object

[fringe anvil]

make a sunny meadows extended and add 3 more apocalypse badges

[viscid sphinx]

I would enjoy the edition of an SLS camera. The SLS (Structured Light Sensor) camera is a specialized ghost hunting tool, typically a modified Kinect sensor, that projects an infrared dot pattern to map and display invisible humanoid shapes as glowing stick-figure skeletons on its screen, even in complete darkness.

In Phasmophobia, it would be an excellent addition, enabling players to detect and track the ghost's position and movements from a safe distance without triggering interactions prematurely, making room-finding faster, hunts more strategic, and overall gameplay. This is somewhat similar to D.O.T.S but would still be neat.

[vague ibex]

I could be wrong about anything, so if anyone has any counter points to this, please feel free to say.

1. Don't ever fix the mare turning TV on
   I think mares turning off things with screens make sense thematically, but also helps with some of the challenges of some map playability. Throwing a remote into a basement can be really clutch.

2. Really listen closely with players in regards to playability. Even in terms of visibility with filters.
   I kinda get that isn't really thematic. However, I feel like how players enjoy the game kinda changes as they progress. For a good bit of time, there's a LOT of focus on the horror and scary elements of the game, however, it is the strategy/detective/problem solving part of the game that keeps players around for thousands of hours. I think some maps are neglected because it doesn't really cater to the more experienced demographic.

3. Give some more incentive/goals to the more experienced players. As I said before, I feel that the way players enjoy/engage with the game changes based on how experienced of a player they are. I feel that all aspects need to be considered.
   I think the skill ceiling needs to be raised by a lot. I don't mean making the game harder as is on normal difficulties, but rather add options to make games harder than current apoc3, while still being enjoyable.

4. I would love to see some more nuances in ghost behavior. This is a fairly general suggestion, but a specific example may be to tweak some event/interaction/roam/whatever frequencies slightly. Like how a banshee is more likely to do singing ghost events. It'd be cool to see each ghost to give a kind of "vibe", where you can't confirm a ghost, but may give a subtle clue.

5. For new players. I feel like new players struggle with sanity and knowing when ghosts can hunt. I feel like there should be some kind of clue that standing in lit rooms don't drain much sanity, and that ghosts will only hunt when your sanity is lower.

[obtuse whale]

Emotes. that's it. that's the post.

[frank perch]

Would love to be able to watch recorded videos in media like how you can listen to sound recordings

[bleak zodiac]

If this doesn’t get added, imma be upset

[steep narwhal]

Devs wont see this chat. Says so at very top.

[bleak zodiac]

aww man 😢

[obtuse whale]

a battle royale mode

[sly badger]

Split screen for people on one console can play together.
i.e. would say the persons name then (1) and (2) next to it

[jagged nexus]

IDEAS FOR NEW CURSES OBJECTS:

• HOURGLASS: Distorts time for the ghost or the player. When using the object, the ghost can move very fast or very slow. It could also randomly change the speed of other players.

• GHOSTLY DUST: When sprinkled around the ghost's room, the ghost can be seen wandering. Pro: Videos and photos of the ghost can be taken. Disadvantage: It could initiate an attack while in this state.

• LLORONA'S TEARS: A bottle containing "Llorona's" tears that emits a scream. It is used in hunts to stop the ghost's attack. The scream deafens all nearby players until the next hunt ends and reduces their sanity to zero. The ghost can immediately change rooms and attack after 30 seconds.

[gritty sluice]

Suggestion for multiplayer game mode: Ghostly fun

Basically at random different players are chosen to be the ghost, they get to choose the ghost type, the room, the cursed object, their goal is to kill the other players or ensure they don't know the ghost type, whilst the other players try and go through normally to get the ghost type

[somber locust]

Literally just cross progression

[zinc trellis]

Pan and tilt tripods for video cameras, there is already pan, tilt would be nice to have

[vague ibex]

Imagine a ghost with a grappling gun
like a ghost that kills you by pulling you towards it

[plush bluff]

A valentines day event. Similar to christmas with krampus, but instead its a creepy little cupid thing

[woeful ice]

people have probably already suggested this, but i think it would be awesome to have the ability to play legacy versions of maps using some kind of setting or maybe an alternate version of the map when selecting it (wouldn't be the main one ofc).

i say this mainly because of the new coming tanglewood rework, i believe a lot of people won't be happy with it's rework and just want to keep the current tanglewood. i've already seen some backlash myself towards the idea of a rework, so i think this would be a nice middle-ground.

also it's just... more content. in general. with no extra cost. the maps already exist in-game, so just make them accessible to give the community more maps to play.

(i'm mainly speaking about tanglewood here, but being able to play the old asylum would be really cool. i somehow believe people would be willing to downpatch to play old tanglewood and that's not really something you want as a game studio.)

[meager flax]

Account cross save with Kinetic. Farming both xbox and steam vr is a grind.

Adding maps like a cemetery, ancient battlefield, cathedral, abandoned theme park, pyramids, catacombs... cool ideas

Large maps can include more than 4 teammates?

Honestly very impressed with this game and excited to be a part of the community.

[vague ibex]

What about an achievement for being killed by a demon within the first minute and being revived with use of tarot card

[obtuse whale]

More realism, for example. When a plate is thrown it breaks. When a book is tossed it opens. When a light is broken there's glass on the ground. Stuff like that would be cool to see

[sonic sundial]

I feel like yokai should get faster during hunts like 2.25 if someone speaks near to the yokai, and keep the 2.5 electronic radius detection but like a 10 meters long radius for voices so the yokai can be way more dangerous ghost than he already is, so you need to be extremely quiet against a yokai and turn talkimg in voice chat into a deadly mechanic

And buff mare's hunt sanity rate in the dark to 70 or even higher so it would be easier to identify on 0 evidence so mare ability to turn off the lights will be way more effective for the ghost to attack you and actually kill you quickly, like imagine the mare having a speed boost on dark rooms and having 80-90 chance to hunt inside a dark room, or another mare ability idea is like, imagine if You hide on a dark room during a hunt the mare can actually see where you are hiding like a deo but only inside the dark

[vast fulcrum]

More ghost models

[sand grotto]

suggestion for the discord server perhaps: can we get a channel that tells the weekly challenge each week 🙂

[grand glacier]

During cursed hunts, make Banshees temporarily change their target to whoever started the cursed hunt 🔥

[odd silo]

weekly challenges are pinned each week in #phasmo-chat

[sonic sundial]

make when a ghost throws something at you you get hurt so polter can just kill you by doing nothing

[acoustic gate]

just chilling in the kitchen and you get K.O.d by a tea cup

[lusty ember]

Polty bomb gains new meaning. Getting hit by an item temporarily makes you slower per item so ghost hunts gets more powerful

[coarse zephyr]

devs should make customizible caracthers, and more house maps plsssssssssss 🙏

[modest mantle]

PLEASE ADD AFRICAN SERVERS! I have a African friend and he’s always on like 300 ping every time we play PLEASE ADD AFRICAN SERVERS🙏🙏🙏

[hot sundial]

it's crazy to me that there's no failsafe to try and respawn the ghost if it's out of it's favorite room for an unusually long time, this happens in multiple different maps and rooms

[heavy hound]

Cross play progression 🙏

[steel oasis]

I’d love some new maps, like an old fashioned pub, or a museum!

[obtuse whale]

Port the game to the smart fridge please.

[gritty sluice]

Would be so overpowered for Rev, imagine it randomly throws something and you get slower lmao

[lusty ember]

Add an achievement where you die cause a deo threw too many items and caught up with you

Some cursed item ideas I came up with in a fly

Frog eyes:
-A jar of preserved frog eyes, possibly used to allow consumers to see the dead
-Upon consumption, causes the user to lose 25% sanity and temporarily prevents them from seeing the ghost during events and hunts as well as using sanity pills
-Upon consumption, causes the player to see the ghost roam around in addition to having the ghost room emit an eerie light
-Has four uses
-Attempting to consume with less than 25% sanity or colliding with the ghost under the eye’s effects will trigger a cursed hunt

Memento Skull:
-A skull beautifully decorated with iron and gold. It gives off an eerie feel and cold to touch
-Has three uses
-Upon use, the skull will drop and temporarily become unusable. The ghost becomes drawn to the player that used it and will roam around that player more often for a set time
-Being around the ghost while the skull is unusable will drain the player’s sanity by 2% every five seconds and cause player vision to be hindered
-Attempting a ghost event or hunt will instead trigger a cursed hunt

[calm zephyr]

How about adding a scare feature or mode where if you turned dead that you have the ability to scare your team but at the same time - its not an influence for finding the ghost. Example: there are 3 persons in this game. one died. the other two have to find the ghost still- but now since one has died he has 2 oe 3 diffrent skills in order to scare the team and make them jump in ceratain situation ( to prevent the spam you could add a timer here)... maybe even make the game more darker somehow? so add more jumpscares and stuff

[fathom kraken]

I think it would be awesome to make your own maps, it would increase the variaty of maps playable.

[trail basin]

So the announcement got me thinking. What if they added an abandoned train station. A new big map.
Basically there is a big station with four tracks. Two has a train on them and the other two are empty. There are three floors and an elevator that doesn't work.
So something lien the picture.
If you complete the map a few times on a very hard mode you get a train conductor hat.

This in general would be so nice to see and with it a new big map that people will actually enjoy since there can be so many small and big rooms in it. And also very many objects lying around which makes it Harder to escape the deadly ghosts!

[misty bobcat]

have a gamemode where the ghost is a player, and they can choose any ghost to be, and the other players get hints as the game progresses, such as evidence, hunts, or ability uses

[keen hull]

Hi I think a medium somewhat broken but still open in daytime amusement park map would be cool

[severe grail]

There’s so many possibilities for new maps:

The classic haunted mansion

A construction site

An archaeological dig site

An abandoned theatre or opera house

An abandoned theme park

A large cathedral

A large cemetery with a church

A museum

An abandoned train station or subway station

An abandoned factory

A cruise ship

A steamboat casino

An abandoned cinema

A hotel

An apartment building

A mine

[sharp crater]

ghost idea
"Keres"
In real life, they are female spirits that died in a cruel, violent, and/or unexpected way, hovering over battlefields.

In-game, they have the following attributes:

• Only female ghost model
• Strength: They are more aggressive, and can hunt at 80% sanity
• Weakness: They are more sated after a hunt, and thus, their hunt cooldown is increased to a minimum of 50 seconds rather than 25.

[sharp crater]

ok genuinely this is gonna sound cringe, but there's not a single idea you listed here that I don't love

[severe grail]

Thanks

[balmy idol]

Wait a mine, cruise ship and construction site actually sounds so cool though, though i doubt they'd do a cathedral since it'd likely have alot of similarities to sunny meadows

[little field]

Allow the ghost to do events in the truck but cannot kill, I'd love to see a poltie to chuck our equipment

[elfin panther]

I stand before the council to offer exquisite ideas;
The Hotdog cosmetics.

Anything really, a giant inflatable hotdog costume
Hotdog hats
Chili dog varsity jacket

Anything hotdog related.

[acoustic gate]

Can I suggest that the rain trickles on the window get colour changed during blood moons? The rain itself is already red.

[hearty sand]

will there ever be the option for the bigger maps to have a bigger team to investigate? like the high school, the prison, etc... could have 6 players investigate at the same time and it really could be fun?

[quick raft]

i got this idea after looking at the tanglewood drive update picture. how about a train parked at a station and have the train cars be haunted with a hidden key you have to find in order to get into the train station itself, kind of like camp woodwind map where you have to find a key to get into the lodge.

[tough grail]

Just a few ideas I thought recently. I'm sure some have probably been suggested before, but just wanted to add a little detail for the fun of it.

[hot sundial]

I wish badges that are just other badge but better/foil would replace the standard ones like they used to, the menu feels cluttered with so many dupes. Maybe clicking on an equipped foil could equip the standard? could have an identical or similar badge darkened and peeking from behind it if there needs to be visual clarity. I wouldn't want this to apply to similar badges like the apocalypse ones, but for drops and events (MAYBE 11+ prestige badges too? but those animated ones have more flair so I could see them staying separate if this happened) it would just be nice to clean it up a little

[ornate saffron]

I think your Ayakashi ghost would be interesting if them interacting with a water source (turning on a tap/shower) did something (maybe affect hunt time or hunt sanity %). And maybe even have a unique ability (with a low chance) to turn the tap on without creating dirty water.

[tough grail]

yeah definitely wouldn't be opposed to any of that 😛 Though I think Wendigo might be the new "revenant" where you just gtfo as soon as you know what it is lol. though that being said, as is, Ayakashi would be a menace in Nell's diner. I think you're pretty much always close to a water source except for maybe in the diner booths

but for sure a truck stop map would be my absolute favorite. my dad has been a trucker for 30+ years and I used to go with him all the time. I've probably been to easily 100 different truck stops and they're such a joy to go to. they literally have everything

[mighty oyster]

Remove the enable crossplay setting and the tiny warning thats shows under the room browser title. Disabling crossplay brings the population down to ~3 people in all regions and you cant even play any servers at all. It just doesnt seem necessary.

[blissful topaz]

Please add a fast tool serch like in gta

[obtuse whale]

Remember the old minecraft battle minigames? And how the lobby had a bunch of secrets you could uncover? What if the phas lobby had something similar where you could find hidden things while waiting for friends to join

[rain rune]

Funny enough I went back to my ps3 to play some the other day

[outer lava]

I wish that after you died, you could communicate with the living and do everything a ghost can. Foe example: You've just died and your teammate has a spirit box, if your in the same room as then you can communicate with them using the spirit box. You should also be able to do light switches and the fuse box so your not doing nothing after death.

Another good way to implement this would be: Using dots. Imagine your friend has just died and and you hear him on the spirit box saying "look at this", you can't see what he's looking at so you go and get dots and the player model appears. To distinguish player dots and ghost dots you could have the player dots be alot more faded and harder to see.

Just a suggestion, would be cool to see in game but also very hard.

[viscid fiber]

Dudeeee a daycare map would be crazyyyyyyyyy lowkey

[swift gulch]

Hear me out. Loveland Castle as a map.

[sharp crater]

Ayakashi at 3m is way too powerful, especially at 15m range. Especially considering that the room has to be near water, meaning it’ll often be very, very fast.

Succubus/Incubus are cool but they shouldn’t have the same evidence. Sometimes no one in the group will have a male or female model, making it difficult to test for.

Wendigo is hella cool, I like the idea of being fueled by death. I would make it a slow ghost by default though. Knowing where all the players are is OP with regular speed, and the only reason why it’s fine with Deo is because Deos are easy to escape from. Wendigo would be very hard to escape from.

Edit: if you make the Succubus and Incubus strict to their own ghost model (like how Banshees are only female), same evidence could work. Even in solo runs/runs with only male/female player models.

[ivory knoll]

Why I’m convinced the next map will be ||Cyric’s Carnival|| (possible spoilers) (also ||clown|| warning)

[tall egret]

gosh i hope not

big phobia for ||clowns||

very interesting theory tho

[ivory knoll]

And it also falls in line with the usual trope of the devs adding references to specific locations (usually shown location, town, and state) in previous maps or reworks of maps. Like how Nell's Diner was referenced as a location in Tucson, Arizona in a newspaper ad in the Bleasedale rework, or how Maple Lodge Campsite has a map that shows Point Hope nearby

[slim loom]

i think it would be tuff is phasmo was a steam workshop game, like i get not doign it cus some of the workshops would make the game not fun and unplayable but just for the maps, like how many people want a chernobyl map, and others
so maybe just workshop for maps

[steep narwhal]

I love that you can't see the campsite from point hope

[tall egret]

Point hope was actually teased from the old lobby

There was a uv light and markings on the floor

[ivory knoll]

Ah, I never saw the old lobby, but that's cool!

[slim loom]

i hate point hope, like the map itself is dope ash but hunting on it is unsufferable esp if u have a rev

[still widget]

Ghost Shapeshift video should count as "Capture a video of a ghost" objective

[sacred warren]

I feel like a haunted apartment complex would be fun. Also a haunted mansion and even a graveyard / cemetery would be fun. Maybe even a haunted Church or village?

[weak dirge]

I feel like we should have a only male ghost as we have 2 female ones and my idea on how it works is it is called like the headless or the horseman (inspired by headless horseman) and when you take a photo only in the photo it doesnt have a head

[sharp crater]

I’ve heard suggestions like these a lot, and while they’re good, they tamper way too much with figuring out what ghost it is.

Dead player turns on breaker - alive players will cross off Hantu.
Dead players troll by playing soundboard of default spirit box responses - alive players circle spirit box.
Dead players turn on light switch - alive players will cross off Mare. Dead players could also troll by faking Mare ability.

The list goes on. Trust me when I say that I wish dead players could do cool shit like this, but it just wouldn’t work.

[ornate saffron]

This might be a bit convoluted, but what if the ghost could make a timed coloured mist (based on player colour) that projects off of the cursor. That way they could show people the ghost room (if it moved). They could use it to "circle" a piece of evidence equipment. Or even to show the way to safety during a hunt. The coloured mist would be translucent, have a quick decay, a maximum time and a cooldown, so it is not disruptive.

[obtuse whale]

When they inevitably remake the ghost models, I want them to get creative with their designs. These are basically demons we're up against so I feel like their look should convey that. Maybe one of them has elongated fingers and is incredibly thin. Or one just looks like a demon from bible. They're so many different ways they could go about it and I look forward to seeing the final product

[tame cypress]

guys.... hear me out.....
The Grudge House will go HARD in Phasmo!!

[hot yoke]

When closet hiding spots are blocked on the newer maps, they simply can't be opened and have a lock symbol. I think it'd be more interesting, and maybe a bit smoother for immersion (rather than there being a lot of randomly locked closets), if the space were full of boxes or shelves and whatnot, like they were on the older maps. However, removing the doors to these physically blocked spots would help prevent sneaky players from trying to hide there anyway. From a gameplay perspective, players fleeing from a ghost would also be able to see ahead of time if that specific closet is blocked because there would be no doors, making the boxes easily visible. Having this visual distinction would make it easier for new players to recognize when a hiding spot is blocked per game settings and not because there's an interaction needing to be performed there, such as doors requiring keys, like exit doors and the Point Hope easter egg.

[obtuse whale]

When I die, put my soul into the game. I'll become the next herobrine. This comes with zero benefits to the game

[outer lava]

Hear me out a map of a school

[sturdy radish]

Alr done

[obtuse whale]

I really like the model train station. But what if the buildings were actual locations in the game. For example one of the houses could be willowstreet, or they could add a lighthouse. Totally unnecessary but figured I'd share anyways

[severe grail]

I wonder if stamina items would be good. Like Tier I energy items would be caffeinated gum, Tier II would be energy bars, and Tier III would be energy drinks. The benefit is that it would replenish your stamina, helping you escape a ghost and or get out of the house before it hunts but the trade off would be it takes up a slot in your inventory

[rain rune]

Delete if not allowed to post this here

Guys I have a great idea for a phasmo mod,

1. Custom Spirit Box Voicelines
2. Custom Paintings and Pictures (Aka input your own PNGs)
3. Anything else custom that isnt a unfair advantage or breaks the game

[little hatch]

Mouse and keyboard support on consoles

[fresh bridge]

That’s on the way.

[tight pelican]

shame this channel isnt being looked at devs, missed opportunity imo

[upbeat idol]

I would like a setting/button to switch between the old maps or new maps so players can experience their favorite maps that they liked before it was reworked and people can still enjoy their favorite maps reworked maps too

[radiant gale]

I would really like a toggle option for how your footsteps sound outside on concrete, because Nell's Diner footsteps sounds are just suffering unto my ears, and the Tanglewood ones aren't great as far as volume goes. I really don't need to sound like I'm wearing hard-soled shoes everywhere, ideally. I would love an option to pick what footfalls sound like outside.

[ornate saffron]

I wouldn't be surprised if they pop in and have a look every now and then. I think it's more to do with managing expectations of the people posting in here. Even if an idea is well liked, they don't want the pressure to implement it.

[honest meteor]

I think we should add where you can get possessed

[polar maple]

I wish we would be able to hardly make out at least a few surfaces/spots of light on these new maps when you don't have a light source on because I find it annoying to see pretty much exclusively #000000 pixel values
Light sources wouldn't end up useless, I just want a few dim points of orientation so in combination with map knowledge you would be able to not pretty much HAVE to have a flashlight take up 1/3 inv slots any time you want to move around

[sharp crater]

Ooooo that’s a good idea

[sharp crater]

It’d be super cool if a cursed item - such as Ouija Board - would have a small chance of possession, causing a cursed hunt, where the possessed instantly dies. Their body is then used as the ghost model for the hunt, so it’ll be your own friend chasing you down, and once the hunt is over, their body falls to the ground. Future hunts would then return to normal ghost model.

Japanese ghost idea - Namanari, based on the IRL Namanari mask used in Noh theatre

Namanari are female half-demons, in the midst of transformation into an Onryo. They are vengeful but still have a glimmer of humanity in them.

In-game abilities and details include:

• hunts more (60% when not near flames)
• hunts less (30% when near flames)
• instead of Onryo’s ability to hunt when it blows out three light sources, the Namanari instead has an ability which makes it inherently faster when not near flames (1.9m/s). This decreases to 1.5m/s when near flames.

[hard pulsar]

suggestion: shut those fucking dogs up at tangelwood

[final arch]

It would be nice if the ghost could play chess on the chess board in the Lighthouse, maybe if you move a piece and say "Your move" it could move a piece itself?

[tidal basin]

Suggestion: For character customization, add an outfit of a Catholic priest like a Cassock for roleplay opportunities and for an outfit to fit the crucifix and thurible

[proper fjord]

Suggestion: Increase Player Limit. It would be nice to increase the player cap from 4 to 6–8 players. Many of us have larger friend groups and would love to play together instead of splitting into separate lobbies.

[rapid skiff]

Are there plans to update the photo frames in Tanglewood? They are very repetitive going from room to room. I miss all the random pet photos from before.

I love that it still FEELS like Tanglewood! The photo frames are my only gripe.

[sturdy radish]

Should make it so that photo frames would take photos from the #pet-pics and put random people's pet there probly impossible but still cool to think abt

[rapid skiff]

That would get wild real fast... censorship is needed.

[sturdy radish]

true would need manual confirmation 🤔

[sharp crater]

There’s probably a shit ton of cute animal pics that the community has though.

Also, imagine going through Tanglewood and seeing a picture of your dog
lol

[sturdy radish]

Yes it would be peak 🥹

[subtle atlas]

Ouiji board suggestion: Ask the board who among us is going to die. The board then spells their username, and starts a targeted hunt.

[sharp crater]

Could also have a more uncommon response: “All”
Starts a special cursed hunt that lasts longer than normal cursed hunts. Once it spells out All, it waits two seconds, then spells “Run”, then starts the hunt

[sturdy radish]

That would be rly cool

[plain folio]

Instead of the bone, have a random object on the map that responds to one of the evidence items, randomly determined every time a match starts. The item can be any ghost-throwable item. For example, a shoe that gives off EMF 3, or a photo frame that responds to UV, or a book that gives off a signal detectable by sound recorder or para-mic, or a freezing pot; the object is randomly determined each match along with the detectable tool. Once found, taking the object back to the van and leaving with it gives a reward. Perhaps the object can be deposited in a bin, like an ectoplasmic-contaminated object that must be removed from the site.

[wintry veldt]

Can we get like a short reasoning as to why we are investigating? You know like how we would have a piece of paper as to why we never encounter the homeowners.

[sturdy radish]

Should make it so that sometimes we get a false investigation and there's no ghost and we get an achievement if we rule out every ghost on that investigation gotta be pretty rare tho

[molten oracle]

we need a campaign mode

[steep narwhal]

To identify the ghost
Another team comes in to remove the ghost.

[sturdy radish]

should make a second game where we have to remove the ghost it would be mad intrestting 🤔

[sharp crater]

Ever heard of ghost busters?

We’re the preparation team basically.

The homeowners called the players because a ghost entered the home for (fill in the blank) reason. Then the players go in to prove that a ghost indeed exists there. Then the players sell the info to the ghost busters.

The reason why there are no homeowners is because, if there were homeowners there, they would probably be dead, and then they couldn’t call us.

Although it would be cool finding corpses of the homeowners, and one escaped or something and they called.

[steep narwhal]

Its called DBD

[sturdy radish]

dead by daylight ?

[leaden cipher]

My suggestion of new map (Abandoned circus)

It would likely be large sized map with carneval type outside area.

Hiding spots would be like corners in outside area and a few hiding spots in some structures.

Circus tent would be in the middle of the map.

[old horizon]

pls make the item switching in this game faster this is honestly one of the things whichs is infuriating having to take a quick photo of the ghost and the ghost killing you because of how slow the item switching in this game is, and dont get me started on the ghost flickering which you cant catch on with your camera because of how the photo taking is slow as well

[proven granite]

We need a story mode for Phasmophobia

I mean like you need too understand too agree but i think a story mode would be peak!!

There we can do stuff like "Next level, Tanglewood on Nightmare" and stuff

Would be a feature too keep Phas entairtaining

[sturdy radish]

Would lwk help begginers with a fixed progression

[old linden]

You should add a ghost event where the ghost would whisper you a hint only on the Amateur difficulty.

[rigid gust]

The option of "setting" fire to the location to prevent the ghost type from being a possible candidate for the next map visit.

Fire solves almost everything.

I'm not an arson.

[proven granite]

An admin panel for private lobbys would be fire

Like i mean hear me out you can make the ghost hunt, event etc.

Only for private or singleplayer lobbys to troll your friends.

Also a feature too play as the ghost would be fire and bring way more entertainment in the game

[copper slate]

I would like to see an addition to place down the framed pet pictures I... liberate from Willow Street. I dislike having to throw them and hope they land properly.

[round estuary]

Would be nice to be able to use 1 2 3 4 instead(both) of scrolling throught of items

[sharp crater]

Ghost idea, Vampire

Knows your location at all times, moves at a fixed speed of 1.0m/s. Has LoS speed buildup. Incense has a lowered effect.
Weakness:
It hates salt.
Upon stepping in salt, it must stand completely still for 3 seconds as it rapidly counts the amount of grains of salt on the ground.
Tier 2 salt increases it to 5 seconds, and tier 3 salt increases it to 6 seconds (because it's more salt, and the vampire has to count longer)

[main spruce]

Friending

[sturdy radish]

Bonus points if it has a little voice line of him missing one and counting oher

[sharp crater]

It could also have a different stepping noise when in salt

Most ghosts will make multiple footsteps, with the first one marking it stepping in salt

Seeing as the Vampire stays completely still after stepping in salt though, it would just make 1 footstep noise.

[stoic lintel]

personally i would suggest you devs make the Banshee Focus Male Player Avatar. its in their folklore as demonic/ghostly being to target men because they got abused by them or killed. that way female player avatar are immune but it also means you gotta have a rounded party to be better thus makes the social aspect of this co op more in depth.

like im just saying it would fit the banshee really well ^^

as for another idea... maybe a Kitsune? a trickster that can mimic other ghost but he chnages evidences he makes like... if he mimics a mimics... it has its 3 main evidence and orbs but leaves one of the 3 main one on top that that Kitsune has. pattner would be erractic and change type of entity it mimics after each 3 minutes?

would hate insense and espescially tier 3, would also negate sanity meds

[lusty valve]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[plucky heath]

A new map idea, the devs should get permission from Royal Caribbean and make Stars of Seas into a map.
it would be the biggest map, so much detail, and we could be at sea, and instead of a truck, we would have a suite or private cabin

[brazen spindle]

Add sls camera

[silver sand]

A minor (or major) graphics overhaul/rework.

[viscid tendon]

I think it would be cool if yall were to add more character customization like for doing certain things you would get cosmetics like hats different cloths hair styles and things like that

[sturdy radish]

It's coming soon

[ashen leaf]

Kinetic Games has a Trello Board! There you can see potential upcoming updates, features, and fixes. You can find the Trello @ https://trello.com/b/9QrnqQ1j/phasmophobia.

[amber iron]

I wonder why this wasnt added earlier but adding a hospital map would make the game 20x more spooky and enjoyable, though with the size this would likely need to be a map with 4 players. But adding a hospital map is the PERFECT map to add.

[viscid tendon]

Fire I didn’t know that Ty for telling me

[hoary coyote]

Why isnt there skulls for Obambo, Gallu and Dayan?

[steel vector]

When cosmetic are coming out you can make a skeleton PJ for Halloween that we Can wear (I used to have one of these as a kid) and maybe customize the lobby. Btw this picture is from google

[sharp crater]

Great question

[amber iron]

Cuz they’re new

[hoary coyote]

fair enough they did release 4 months ago

[glacial tide]

And doesn’t even need to have permission you could just simply make it a cruise ship

[red eagle]

It would be nice if you could choose between the new tanglewood map and the old one

[hoary coyote]

No

[shell wing]

I guess this was already suggested before, but two new types of evidence I'd love to see are:

1. Ectoplasm (classic ghost material, NOT UV prints) - I thought of a way how to make a new type of "prints" that you could find that could be different enough from UV prints to not be redundant in terms of gameplay - ectoplasm would use the logistics of UV Prints but in the form of a goo on the walls or objects or ground, that would NOT be visible with UV light, but instead through night vision camera only (would glow in the dark, but only on the camera). This would give cameras even more usage beyond just looking for Ghost Orbs and having a good camera screen would be more important than ever.

2. Heat signature - Could be visible only through a new equipment - Heat vision/camera that would would have a different mode from night vision and would instead mark heat signatures of furniture and people on the screen, and the ghosts could produce a heat signature as well, similarly to their DOTS forms, etc.. if you see a humanoid-shaped heat signature on the camera in front of you, then that's the ghost evidence, be it during jumpscare events, or just randomly like when they walk through DOTS

[sturdy radish]

Ghosts produce cold so it would probly be a cold spot then

[shell wing]

true, just kind of heat/cold anomaly visible on cameras

[white latch]

There should be an update where there is a mimic that copies the players voice and there movement, this will definitely make the game more terrifying in my opinion.

[glossy oar]

they got rid of it because they bought the assets and when the raised enough money they had to stop using them

[covert plinth]

A ghost event where a ghost would come out of a tv similar to the ring, have it only trigger when some is in a room with a tv have the ghost crawl out of the tv and start a ghost hunt

[minor summit]

1. More audio options - Options to lower sound of weather, objects, ambience, and ghost noises. Yes people could turn it down to make it less scary but that's they're choice 🤷 . Also helps if some stuff is too loud over others.

2. Character customization - pick your own skin shade, hair colour, hair style, can pretty much be the stuff we have now but you can piece it all together yourself. Would be nicer to get some more avatars tho

3. truck customization - different colours/styles (ik most are like living in vans so ignore the furniture, just take the style), outside decals, host can put fav photos up either on van walls or in the lobby

4. Photosensitivity option - flashing lights are disabled or altered, if lights need to flicker it can be a scale where the person can make it more mild or there's a caption either over the lights or at the top of the screen that's big and states the lights are flashing

5. subtitles for audio - This would just be a caption at the bottom right similar to minecraft that would just state anything audio wise that is happening. For example "Footsteps" "Ghost mumbles" "Door creaking" "Light switch flicked", etc.

6. You can switch items by using number keys 1 2 3 and 4. Scroll and using q and e is quite annoying and not that efficient

7. Rare event of any ghosts that can become aggressive and are in an aggressive state (Spirit, obambo, gallu) can rip off a door, would be funny and helps as a behaviour evidence. It can be an even more rare event that can give you a badge if it rips off the front door, but that can only be done in big maps (large and possible some medium if they're on the bigger side) because small maps it would be too good.

8. Dead players can speak through spirit box - self explanatory, it is helpful.

9. Map ideas - Haunted broken train, ship, power plant, mall/shopping centre that can also be split like sunny meadows into halves, mansion, military base, emergency service stations, smaller schools.

[minor summit]

10. Make tier 3 headgear, light and head camera, not night vision

[sharp crater]

Or just make a completely separate headgear for lights, keeping the original headgear as photo/video

[shell wing]

Also new Ghosts:

Efreet - Evil spirits closely tied to primordial fire, they turn it from source of respit into another weapon against you.

Ability: Any source of fire in their favourite room (candles etc.) will actually drain your sanity instead of upkeeping it and are faster around fire during hunts.

Weakness: They never blow off active candles, fireplaces, etc which makes them easier to be recognized.

Evidence:
Heat Signature
Ectoplasm
EMF5

Strigoi - Restless souls coming back from their grave who are thought to be able to turn themselves into a beast or turn themselves invisible at will. They are hungry for human blood and possibly served as inspiration for literal origin of vampires.

Ability: Strigoi is near invisible and blips much slower if +10 meters from nearest player. It also doesn't show itself on taken photos and doesn't disrupt salt.

Weakness: They cannot burn down Crucifix and it slows them down during hunts.

Evidence:
Ectoplasm
Cold Temperature
Spirit Box

[daring anvil]

Hello Discord, I would like to share my ideas about new content. Part 1

Replays (repeats)

This is a powerful but logical improvement.

After the end of the contract:

You can open the “Investigation Report".

Available:

Switch between players (player 1, 2, 3 and 4)

Free camera

Rewind

Traces of the beginning of the hunt

Why is this necessary?:

Error analysis

Content Creation

Analysis of the ghost's behavior.

Favorite map and favorite ghost

Condition: In the profile, the player can choose his favorite card and his favorite ghost.

Description: This will add personalization and a sense of attachment to certain cards and ghosts. Players will be able to share these preferences with others.

Player profiles

A very strong idea for the meta layer.

👤 View profile

When you click on a player:

A window opens:

📌 Basic information

Level

Prestige

Trophies

Number of missions.

Favorite map
👻 Favorite ghost

(can be selected manually)

Who killed the player most often.

Hello Discord, I would like to share my ideas about new content Part 2

Gestures and emotions

I'm nodding

I point "there"

I point to “here”

I show "quiet”

If you like the idea, you can correct me or suggest more options.

If the player has been absent for 3+ months:

When entering, it appears:

“Welcome back. That's what's changed.”

, Auto Digest:

Added new ghosts

Changed hunts

Updated the magazine

Redesigned the complexity.

I suggest adding a News Feed

Recent patches

Balance changes

New maps

🤣

Ghost Suggestion: Vanpri (Affectionately called Van Princess)

Concept
A mischievous ghost sent by the spirit world to sabotage investigators… from the truck.

Lore
After years of investigators evicting ghosts from their homes, the spirit world has finally responded. They sent one of their “brightest” ghosts to interfere with investigations directly.

Unique Traits

Still haunts inside the location like a normal ghost.

During hunts, it appears as the last player who spoke in voice chat.

Has a very fast flicker rate during hunts.

Cannot be seen on video cameras.

Truck Mischief

25% chance to burn unused smudge sticks in the truck.

25% chance to break unused equipment.

May “borrow” equipment and place it randomly somewhere in the location.

How to Identify
Investigators noticing equipment sabotage in the truck or a ghost that mimics the last person who spoke may be dealing with a Vanpri.

[wicked sapphire]

Phasmophobia on MacOS

[shell wing]

as much as it sounds like a fun concept it would be too easy to tell that it is Vanpri, too easy. You really need one hunt to tell it is Vanpri when a player will run towards you while blinking. The same goes for equipment sabotage

[rigid gust]

100% agree.

[slow nymph]

Not sure if anyone thought of this but what about a new evidence type that also allows an opportunity for new ghosts, one example i have is flowers. If flowers wilt or die it can be evidence that can rule out another ghost. tier 1 is a single flower, tier 2 is a bouquet of flowers, and tier 3 is a pot of flowers. each one increasing in area that the ghost can trigger it. tier 1 is small, tier 2 is medium, tier 3 is large.

[exotic nova]

Hi, I have a request regarding the new Tanglewood Rework. I really like it, the only thing that I really, really, dislike is the constant dog barking in the background. I would like to ask if it could be changed to be way less frequent, maybe just an occasional barking every two minutes or so. Because after two rounds on this map max it gets on my nerves so much I need to play another map ^^

[leaden cipher]

My suggestion of new map (Abandoned circus)

It would likely be large sized map with carneval type outside area.

Hiding spots would be like corners in outside area and a few hiding spots in some structures.

Circus tent would be in the middle of the map.

[gritty wharf]

Maybe a weird one... what if the crucifix actively held back a demon. As in during a hunt for the entire usage of the crucifix one could go out during a hunt and stop the demon from said hunt... with a crucifix in their hands. With the costs ofcourse being the entire crucifix for balance reasons. Still gives the demon a new layer unlike how many of the newer ghosts are in a sense a worse and scarier demon

[wicked sapphire]

My suggestion, adding on steam MacOS support for device like Macbook Pro m5 or better

[daring anvil]

Hi my ideas new ghost

[sharp crater]

I’m confused about Tengu. Is it supposed to be a cold ghost or a hot ghost? And if it’s a hot ghost, it would be pretty slow in its own room. Also I’m not sure how it makes sense for him to have freezing temps

Strigoi just feels like a worse Moroi. Also one thing that I’ve been noting is that you call changing rooms a weakness, but all it does is hinder the players. Especially with the incense thing. What if you have an objective to cleanse the area, or what if a teammate panic uses it in a fake hunt? Boom, new room. Not a big deal in smaller maps, but it’s a massive deal in huge maps.
• Perhaps an alternative weakness could be that, while incensed outside of a hunt, it is bound to its favourite room, unable to leave, and its favourite room cannot change.

As for Blood: I like the idea, but honestly, swap the strengths and weaknesses. Not detecting motion sensor is like Wraith not stepping in salt - it’s a dead giveaway, with the only downside being objectives that involve motion sensor. Whereas for the changing rooms, I’ve already explained why that’s a strength

Dibbuk just sounds like a reverse Revenant, the problem with that is, similar to Deogen, it’s super easy to tell. However - Deogen and Revenant make this up by being dangerous. Revenants are the fastest ghost in the game, so much that there’s an achievement for escaping it, and Deogens are impossible to hide from.
• Dibbuk is still a solid ghost idea, it just needs an additional strength or trait that would make it dangerous. I’m not sure what Dibbuks are in real life, but a ghost that could slow down players that are in LoS would be cool (again, might not fit your vision or what Dibbuks are, but you get the jist of adding a little something to the Dibbuk).

[past sleet]

i agree with your point on tengu because itd basically only be slow in ghost room and 2.7+ everywhere else

[keen sapphire]

idk if others have made this suggestion but was talking with a irish friend and i made a fun idea which would be intersting we randomly came up with what if only the target player could hear the banshee bc it kinder add up to the irl lore of the banshee as you only hear it if your going to flatline so to say

[sharp crater]

lol, like the Ghost Girl from Lethal Company

[bleak zodiac]

If there’s not, then there should be an achievement called Van Princess. Achieved by not leaving the van for a contract

[astral crater]

maybe, we could have a channel for Theorys ?
Because we have a lot of rework since 2025 and , 'im pretty sure, a lot of clues about the lore hide in that news maps. it could be cool to have it to see everyone Theory's without searshing in the phasmo chat.

[past sleet]

very random but no more spiders please :D, i just shit myself in bleasdale attic

[dim saffron]

Lmao

[ornate saffron]

They should add a swarm of cockroaches or centipedes

[severe grail]

Hmm. An abandoned WWII or Cold War era military base or airfield sounds like an interesting concept. This also made me think of two other places that have potential: A small old abandoned airport or an airplane graveyard. The abandoned airport would have a control tower, one or two hangers, and one terminal with a baggage check-in, a baggage handling area, a baggage claim, one store, one cafe, and two gates with waiting areas. The airplane graveyard would be a large map with airplanes of varying sizes, eras, and types. If you look up pictures of the Mojave Air and Space Port, you’ll get what I’m thinking about. To search for the ghost, you would have to look through dirt roads, broken up fuselages, and entire airplanes

[past sleet]

you are evil 😭

[ornate saffron]

Maybe some wriggling worms too lol

[severe grail]

@golden patrol

[ashen heath]

New ghost concept with a new type of evidence and new ghost event only for ghosts that have an evidence of EMF 5

Description: Egregore's are the culmination of human fear and belief in the paranormal. Typically possessing the characteristics of what people believe is in the location. (Side note: Egregores would be similar to the mimic, but they can only copy one Ghost type from the start of the game.)

While they tend not to have a physical form, they sometimes manifest as what is said to resides in the location. (Side note 2: During chase, it will be more difficult to see as it takes a lot of energy to manifest itself. Ghost events will typically be mist form and a new type of event where EMF 5 is found all around the house for about 30 seconds. Full body apparition events will be close to impossible when dealing with an egregore)

Strenghts: Egregores thrive on fear and will drain sanity faster. (Sidenote 3: Ghost events will absolutely DRAIN sanity much faster than usual)

Weaknesses: (simial to the Mare) Egregores prefer darkness to scare their victims. Turning on lights around the location will decrease its total activity (Sidenote 3: The egregore can turns off all lights around a location without flipping the breaker)

Evidence needed:
EMF 5
Spirit box
(New evidence) R.E.M Pod

ALSO ALSO (had another idea) When you discover its an egregore and leave, the achievement could be called "self-saboteur" (half joke cause its a bambie thug reference)

[sharp crater]

This is…
A lot
For just one ghost
But holy shit it’s cool
It’s quite strong, but has a good weakness to counterbalance that
I think it would be a bit obvious though? This feels like two ghosts in one. Heck, even three. Blinks and drains sanity like a Phantom, loves airballs like a Shade, hates light like a Mare, AND mimics like a Mimic?

All that above is enough to make it obvious it’s an Egregore, but adding his two abilities on top of that (EMF 5 everywhere and power outage) is gonna make him SUPER obvious what ghost it is.

Although that kind of makes him feel like a boss fight… the problem is that the Egregore is way more complex and dangerous than other ghosts. Yurei’s only thing is a cool way to open a door. Spirit’s only thing is a hatred for incense. Even ghosts as complex as the Phantom have only three abilities, not the half dozen the Egregore has (Phantom abilities/traits being not showing up on cameras, harder to see, and drain sanity).

Don’t get me wrong, I genuinely love this idea, it just feels like Egregore should be split into two ghosts (like a ghost that causes power outages, causing EMF readings everywhere which have a chance of EMF 5)

Edit: forgot to mention, what’s a R.E.M. Pod?

[ashen heath]

Think of the rem pod as a kinda proximity sensor. the closer you are to touching it, the more it goes off. like i dont really know how to describe it lmao 😭. watch like any sam and colby video and you'll get it trust (im kinda bad at explaining 💀💀) also thank you for the feedback. as i was typing it i realized it was kinda a mary sue type ghost 💀

[viscid pagoda]

I was thinking there should be a party mode that allows 8 - 10 players and has more gear so all friends can join and have fun together.

And I think it should be called party mode

[narrow imp]

I have a really good ghost idea
There should be a ghost called a Vex
Evidence: EMF 5, Freezing Temperatures, Ghost Orbs
The vex would make you see things that aren't there. Its essentially a ghost that causes hallucinations. The more hallucinations you see, the lower your sanity drops. You may be thinking, "These are literally just ghost events," but you'd be wrong. First of all, they would last like a minute to 2 minutes at a time. Not only that, they will simulate hunts, but it isn't actually hunted, to maybe trick you into thinking it's a demon or some other ghost that hunts at high sanity. Also, in multi-player, you would be the only one that sees a certain one. It can also make you see other players doing stuff, in multiplayer. For example, you could see your friend carrying a smudge, and you could ask him for it. Your friend may respond, "We don't have any smudges, bro." That would be a type of hallucination. Idk, I just thought of this and thought it was a cool concept.

[spiral shale]

Ts like an overpowered mimic

[narrow imp]

It doesnt mimic the other ghosts tho. It just makes you see stuff that isn't there. Not necessarily specific ghost traits

[sharp crater]

I really like this idea

What’s nice about Phasmo is that the only thing that would need to be done to accommodate that many players is the gear, which you already mentioned. Since the players can’t kill the ghost, it’s not like Lethal Company where more players = entities are less dangerous. The ghost is still equally dangerous.

It’d probably be super fun having 8 people in the investigation area, and slowly people start disappearing, and everyone thinks it’s just someone hiding in a closet but then it’s only one player left or something

[minor summit]

Crashed plane that's still somewhat there, it can be a nice small map
It could even be slightly submerged in water so there's splashing noises, it only goes either up to the ankles or maybe knees

(I mean no disrespect to any people who have been hurt or killed by plane crashes. I don't mean this as a form of entertainment and/or to disregard any victims of this. I mean this in a polite way that people have died here and their spirit could possibly still be roaming.)

I know this will probably never happen BUT

It would be cool to collab with fnaf and make maps that come out with the movies (ik 1 and 2 already came out so its a bit late but yk better late than never)
The ghosts would all be kids which is an opportunity to add more kid ghosts that people want.

Also great time to add a story mode and have set ghosts that match the personality of the kid victims there and then the map can also be played as a regular one but it incorporates a story mode that others have also been wanting.

[minor summit]

Refresh button for the games in the lobby so it respawns set up

[daring anvil]

I was wrong about the tengu evidence.
I came up with these ideas five months ago.
I would edit the sides. But I don't think new ghosts are needed at the moment, as there is no new evidence, and there is little left.

[daring anvil]

Thanks

[ornate saffron]

One thing about suggesting new ghosts, is you don't want to make ghosts that are mechanically similar to existing ones. Even if they are inversed. I did like the water reactive one someone suggested a while ago. That one seemed neat. You also gotta make the ghost able to be indentified in a zero evidence environment. But I don't think it's a bad thing to suggest new ghost ideas. An interesting enough ghost could replace an existing one, or a mechanic could be added to an existing one.

[daring anvil]

Add an equipment warehouse; it will be in the lobby, and the lobby can be expanded for the warehouse. Since the equipment in the lobby display cases cannot be touched, what is it for? I think everything is logical here.

Functions:

view all items

display upgrade levels

ability to test equipment

For example:

check EMF

test Spirit Box

try new equipment levels

So you don't buy an item in vain.

Such a warehouse:

will improve the interface

will help beginners understand items

will make the upgrade system clearer.

This is more for beginners, and if there are new items.

[daring anvil]

You're right. But you can make ghosts the opposite of others. Since the mechanic is still a bit in the game. And it's better not to create new ghosts until version 2.0 comes out. What you can do right now to prevent this from happening with other ghosts is this: he can break the electrical panel. (This idea just came to me.) Until the ghost sees you in a straight line, he flickers like the others. And when he sees you in a straight line, he flickers like a
phantom or a normal ghost.

I don't know English very well. Sorry if I made a mistake and my answer is unclear.

[ornate saffron]

To be clear, I wasn't specifically referencing your ghost suggestion. I've seen a few on here that are just straight inverses of existing ghosts, but I don't want to call anyone out on it. I just want to say that if people are thinking of new ghosts, that they should try to think of something mechanically unique, to keep the ghosts interesting. But also not too obvious so that people still have to think about the ghost a bit.

A ghost idea I have that could be fun is a fast ghost that knows where you are, like the deogen. But it slows down rapidly in light until it runs out of speed, and stops. Then it turns into a ghost ball, warps to another dark part of the map, changes back into ghost form and continues hunting from there. To balance it so you can't just line up flashlights and cripple it. It would have the ability to turn off a light source every second including electronics and light switches during the hunt. So the way to deal with it, is you have to keep moving while keeping your flashlights or lanterns on it during the hunt, and keep them lit or turned on, as the ghost will be turning them off/extinguishing them constantly. It would be a scary ghost to deal with.

[scarlet hazel]

Ghost type suggestion.
Hoax. Just as it sounds. The team receives a call and the ghost isn't real. It is made to confuse the players. Does not show any evidence whatsoever and does not hunt. Assuming most the people seeing this are more experienced, after 3 minutes with no hunt, that would conclude the investigation. I simply thought of this to ragebait or annoy the player after seeing my friends play it for a bit.

[ornate saffron]

A false investigation would only work if we had enough environmental effects in the game to make people think that there might be a ghost. Once you sweep the house, get nothing and then don't find an obvious ghost room. Its gonna be obvious there's no ghost. It's also a waste of time, and what kind of rewards are you going to get for it? Can't just waste the players time and then give them nothing for it. That won't make people want to play the game.

[sharp crater]

Ghost idea: Acedia

One of the seven deadly sins is Acedia/Sloth, which in a nutshell is peak laziness.

The Acedia has the following attributes:
• Hunts at 40% sanity
• Speed of 0.8m/s
• Evidence are Freezing Temps, Ghost Orbs and EMF 5

STRENGTH(S)

Depressingly influences it’s targets, slowing them down until the Acedia can catch up to them.

Does interactions and events less often.

WEAKNESS

Incense not only has a longer duration on the Acedia, but prevents it from slowing down its targets, allowing the players to escape.

IN-DEPTH ABILITY EXPLANATION

The Acedia is a slow-moving ghost, too lazy to go faster, too lazy to prove its existence. It’s so lazy that it doesn’t bother running to its victims - instead, it slows down its victims for an easier time.

The Acedia has a unique LoS ability which allows it to use its LoS ability on all visible targets that have LoS. I’m not sure what the default player speed is, but when they are targeted by the Acedia, their speed is slowed to 0.6m/s, 0.2 slower than the Acedia. The effect lasts for 2 seconds after LoS is broken, but goes away after that.

Incense lasts for +50% the duration, and during the duration, the ability above deactivates, meaning after 2 seconds, the players have a chance to flee or hide.

Additionally, the Acedia has a smaller ability to randomly cause EMF readings in the ghost room that have no source, similar to a Wraith’s teleportation. This ability is different from an interaction or event because Acedias don’t necessarily do less abilities, but they do less interactions/events, making it harder to find EMF 5. This smaller ability makes up for that, giving the players an easier time finding EMF 5.

The Acedia is an obvious ghost. One hunt will immediately reveal what it is. But it’s kinda like the Revenant - it’s not a matter of figuring out what the ghost is. It’s a matter of escaping with that information.

[ornate saffron]

I have another ghost idea, but this one might be a little too much for phasmo. This ghost does not stay in the ghost room, it wanders constantly. It also has a low chance of interacting making it difficult to gather evidence. What it does however, is spawn a unique cursed item in the map at a rate of 1 every minute within a radius of where it currently is. Depending on map size, the ghost will hunt when a certain number of these items are in the map at once. These items would have a slight sound to them when you are close by, to make them more obvious that they are important. You can interact with these items to despawn them, to make the map safer. But once the item limit has been reached, the ghost will attempt to hunt (crucifix and smudging the ghost before the hunt, can still delay the hunt, if in range). Once it starts the hunt, the hunt will continue until one of the items have been destroyed. During the hunt the items will glow red. When the item is destroyed the hunt ends instantly. The ghost cannot spawn one of the items when it is hunting. This ghost might be a little easy to figure out. But if you dont, and just assume it's a wandering ghost and find out too late, it could be trouble.

[sharp crater]

Feels too different from base Phasmo, almost feels like a mini-game. It would be cool if this was an event or something.

[ornate saffron]

Tweaked it a little. But yeah, it is definitely a bit unique.

[daring anvil]

I know I'm not the only one. But I just decided to respond. I understand your idea.

[surreal bloom]

Legacy maps

[elfin shoal]

With some friends we've been messing with some challenges on the game, some inspired by streamers.

It could be nice to have a toggle option in the contract settings to allow us to remove the deletion limit of collected media, I'm not sure on how much to put on the multiplier as the impact of it can vary from players but I'd consider at least -0.5x ?

[frosty token]

Okay, I tried. New ghost...

Name:
La Llorona.

Description:
This ghost is the embodiment of eternal mourning and rage. Legends say she is doomed to search for her children forever, and woe betide anyone who hears her cries at the water's edge.

Opportunities and abilities -

1. Always a woman - Llorona cannot have a male visual and a male name.
2. Most ghost-events involve crying.
3. Llorona's visual has a high chance of being ghostly and is often hard to see (like a Phantom).
4. Has an increased chance of turning on the sink. This can be done remotely, standing approximately 10-15 meters away from the sink. When the faucet is turned on, sanity decreases twice as fast within a 5-meter radius of the source. If the player enters a room with a sink and an electrical device running, Lorona has a chance to attack prematurely, regardless of sanity.

Hunt -
When patrolling normally, her behavior is similar to standard ghosts, but she is less noticeable and makes less noise (she throws objects less often).
When at least one sink is turned on, Llorona speeds up and knows where the player (lile Deogen) is and runs towards him if he is in the room with the sink and the adjacent rooms, until he turns off the sink (Llorona does not slow down, like Deogen if she managed to run up).

Weakness -
Incense (if lit in front of her) and salt (if stepped on) completely remove Llorona's sprint ability and put her into a patrol state FOR THIS HUNT, even if the faucet is on.

Сharacteristics -
Speed ​​- 1.7 m/s during normal patrolling and 2.5 m/s if at least one sink is working.
Sanity for hunting - 50% under normal conditions and from 0% to 100% under the condition of electrical appliances in a room with a sink.

Evidence -

1. Spirit box
2. Freezing Temperatures
3. ??????? (maybe EMF 5????)

P.S. I specifically designed a ghost that has abilities similar to other ghosts, but which are easy enough to recognize after just one hunt, I made it less obvious.

[slow nymph]

New way to tell what ghost type your dealing with. How about candle scrying? since its difficult for people to understand how different ghosts flash, why not whenever the ghosts hunt candles will match their pattern by flashing a little brighter. might be something you wanna do while hiding though

[honest plover]

I had the idea just now I’m ridge view to Make it during blood moons if you look out the window while your dead your teammates could see you from outside

[crimson stag]

I think some of the new reworks are cool, but it would be even better if we could have the original still and get to choose between rework and original on the level select board.

[daring anvil]

Good idea

[sharp crater]

Ok I fucking love this
Powerful but with a good weakness
Quite noticeable in no evidence
Gives the players a bit of a panic moment when they think “oh shit, is there a sink on?”
Also I reaaaaally like the introduction of a ghost who can prematurely hunt at any sanity, Onryos and Demons are probably two of the most dangerous ghosts in Phasmo imo
As for evidence, you can’t really do EMF 5, as that exact evidence combo is The Twins evidence.
If you really want Spirit Box and Freezing Temperatures though…

• D.O.T.S. is the only one available
• EMF 5 is NOT available (taken by Twins)
• Ghost Writing is NOT available (taken by Moroi)
• Ghost Orbs is NOT available (taken by Onryo)
• Ultraviolet is NOT available (taken by Mimic)

[sharp crater]

Ghost idea: Thunderbird

Native American spirits of storms, very similar to Raijin and Raiju

BASIC ATTRIBUTES

• Default hunt sanity is 10% (ill explain this in the next section)
• Speed is 1.7m/s, the default speed
• Any ghost model

STRENGTHS

The Thunderbird becomes heavily agitated with the increasing amount of electricity present, and can instantly start a hunt if the breaker overflows.

WEAKNESSES

The Thunderbird is very calm when there is a lack of electricity, leading to a heavily lowered chance of hunts.

IN-DEPTH EXPLANATIONS

The Thunderbird has two abilities: the ability to hunt at variable sanities depending on the amount of lights, and the ability to prematurely start a hunt if the breaker overflows.

The Thunderbird’s default hunt sanity is 10%. This increases by…

• 5% per light in a Small Map, going to a max of 65% sanity
• 6% per light in a Medium map, going to a max of 66% sanity
• 8% per light in a Large map, going to a max of 66% sanity

NOTE: Like Mares, Thunderbirds cannot turn on lights.

If the breaker ever shuts down due to an overflow of lights (regardless if the player turned on a light or the Thunderbird was forced to via a Voodoo Doll), the Thunderbird will attempt to prematurely start a hunt, ignoring the hunt cooldown duration and ignoring sanity, but not ignoring crucifixes (so exactly like a Demon).

So the Thunderbird is basically a ghost that hates electricity. If you suspect a Thunderbird, keeping as many lights off as possible is a good strategy, as all of the Thunderbird’s abilities become null if few lights are ever on.

[frosty token]

I really liked the idea myself; I was just planning on having fun with the concept, but I didn't expect it to fit into the game so well. Llorona was actually even stronger initially—at first, she could turn on the sink from anywhere in the building, but I thought that would be unbalanced on huge maps, and the only way to stop her sprint was by turning off the faucet. As for Evidence, that's a real problem. I think the developers should rework Evidence already; otherwise, it's simply impossible to find a themed set for the new ghosts.

[sharp crater]

I think out of the 27 ghosts there are, maybe half of them have evidences that actually fit. It would be nice if Kinetic added an eighth evidence and give that evidence to a lot of the already existing ghosts (which would make it a little annoying to remember ghost evidences but who the heck actually memorized ghost evidences except for the big ones like Mimic)

[frosty token]

In general, I'm really looking forward to the update, where the developers promised a complete rework of the existing ghosts, I hope they will do it well (like, for example, they redesigned some maps)

[sharp crater]

Wait they announced that?
Holy peak
My next suggestion was gonna be “Hey some of the older ghosts like Spirit and Mare should be reworked cuz they’re kinda lame next to Dayan and Thaye right now”

[frosty token]

Yes, as far as I remember, when they were talking about 1.0, they mentioned that they would change the ghosts. I hope these are real changes that will improve the game, completely remove random elements (except for the Mimic), and the game will play completely differently.

[sharp crater]

I just hope they make some of the boring ghosts less boring

• Making Spirits actually territorial, rather than it being flavour text
• Making Mares do bigger events, like power outages
• Idk what they would do to Yureis but Yureis feel very boring right now

[mellow wasp]

A ghost called Astrid
Favourite room is her vanity table
Cursed mirror always spawn
Map : An abandoned church 💔

[analog hawk]

I would love to see a River boat Casino map.

[olive basalt]

I had a new idea for a ghost type: the angel. It would be the exact opposite of demon with its ability having a much smaller crucifix range and it gains speed when it passes through that range. It also ignores tier 3 cruci when summoned during a cursed hunt and has dots, emf 5 and spirit box for its evidence but whenever it’s on dots it has a chance to show angel wings on the ghost model similar to the obake 6 fingers. It also should be only female while making the wraith an only male ghost to allow the three evidence given to be the same for both

[eternal atlas]

what if the mimic could mimic something you say over voice chat through spirit box?

[slow nymph]

New different type of ghost I thought about, The Duppy, It is a ghost the brings misfortune (Whatever type of misfortune it may be) Its a ghost that comes from Caribbean/Jamaican folklore. Known to somehow influence the living in a bad way

[rotund plover]

I don't believe this would work out for a good ghost since it could reallistically only work for normal contracts. For instance it wouldn't work in apoc 3 settings since the breaker is always broke and it has no hunting tell at all. The only tell you have given it requires the breaker to be not broken so any contract with it broken this ghost would just be another Jinn and nobody wants that for harder difficulties. Good idea but it needs some tweaks

[sharp crater]

Ohhh true…
I didn’t consider if the breaker is broken
Darn.

[tidal basin]

Suggestion: For character customization, add an outfit of a Catholic priest like a Cassock for roleplay opportunities and for an outfit to fit the crucifix and thurible

[lofty willow]

Suggestion: Can we play as the ghost?

[past sleet]

i think they talked about that on one of their videos, iirc it was called ''Devs rate community ideas''

[lofty willow]

nah it was in the pfp but they didnt talk about it i saw this video

[lusty tundra]

An old manor house map kinda like this

[past sleet]

A large map:
A castle like this could be cool with a couple of floors , and a big coutyard in the middle

[willow scarab]

Why don't they make it so you can plug the sound recorder to the parabolic mic and get sounds from that too?🤔

[acoustic gate]

might be one of the best suggestions ive heard so far

[tough token]

I hoped that the ghosts of this series can be customized within the settings, which will facilitate the creator to produce different video contents.

[woven mason]

don't know if this has been suggested before but a museum map would be super cool :)) with dino fossils if possible heh

[fleet bobcat]

I feel like an extra 1 person to a room would be cool!

[sharp crater]

GHOST EXPANSION IDEAS
(Part 1, because discord doesn’t let me type enough)

Not that all ghosts need it, some need it more than others. We got complex ghosts like The Mimic and the Gallu, and then we have stuff like Mare where really the only thing they do is turn off lights, or Yureis whose only thing is periodically silently closing a door.

So here are some of my ideas for what could make some ghosts even better.

GORYO

Goryos like to stick to their favourite room a lot, so what if they had an increased chance of events in the favorite room, but become incapable of doing events outside of the favorite room? There aren’t many ghosts that aggressively do events - only Onis and Thayes iirc, so making the Goryo a party ghost in its own room seems fun.

JINN

Ok, so they’re speedy from a distance, under certain conditions, which can’t be met in Apoc 3 because the breaker is broken. Meaning in Apoc 3 they’re just normal ghosts. Let’s give them the power to produce electricity in minor ways - in a 4 meter radius, all electronic devices will flicker on and off, with or without the breaker being on. Not very noticeable if the breaker is on - but the Jinn has its other power to make up for this.

MARE

They’re ghosts of darkness and probably one of my favourites. Expanding their light-hating abilities could make them way cooler - the Mare could have a power outage ability, where it appears physically like an event, stationary, and all the lights flicker for a few seconds, before all the lights turn off. As the Mare disappears, a distant laugh can be heard throughout the investigation area.

[tepid fjord]

I always thought XL maps that can have a lobby of 6 people would be cool

[graceful cove]

can we please get the bucket back from the old tanglewood street map into the new one ppllleeeeaaaassseeeeee

[grizzled elbow]

Can you change the locked screen when looking at the next tier of items so we can see the description of the tier we're upgrading to

[ivory sapphire]

a ghost that has a small like 5% chance to glow or have some hidden symbol on it if you shine uv at it during a hunt
or it could have a very faint glow thats hard to see with nv, lights or flashlight on

also a ghost similar to a banshee thats picks a favorite player and is more likely to hunt if it “sees” another player within ~3m of its favorite and will target that player during the hunt, it would also strongly prefer to leave its favorite player for last but wont if they mess with it too much or are alone in the house, if its forced to kill its favorite player early it will enter an enraged state for the rest of the contract

it could also have a slightly reduced hunt chance if its favorite player is alone in the house or instead if they are alone in its room even if others are in the house as a sort of “distracted” state

another cool addition could be a chance for a unique spirit box line if its favorite player is holding it alone in the ghost room where it screams something like “MINE” all ghostly yk

[tight remnant]

what if they was to create a jungle map with very little hiding spots, a couple tents, waterfall you can walk into and find like a little crystal cave

[clear condor]

Why don't u add a new ghost type named 'chudail' ( a Indian ghost ) which has a rare chance to walk on ceilings + different die animation which is rare ( in this animation, it eats u )

[sharp crater]

“Alright Jeff, we need another hunt to prove what it is, and you pulled the short straw, so take this head camera and incense and good luck.”

…

“WHY ISN’T IT HUNTING YOU?!”

Ghost: “Hehe. I like you.”

[analog hawk]

I think a casino boat would fit the aesthetic of the game so well and make for a new/unique map with a ton of different possibile interactions.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=sgkw8IItWIA&t=416s

[past sleet]

a poltergeist ability on a poker chip table would be hilarious

[shadow walrus]

I feel this isnt a great counter argument and I genuinely think the ghost idea is pretty good, as plenty of ghosts already dont have great tells for apoc 3

[rotund plover]

Yes but dude not a single person that plays on harder difficulties wants another ghost that doesn't have a tell for Apoc 3. It would genuinely be a dumb thing to do and is a valid arguement. Lots of people play with breaker broken and it would be stupid to have yet another ghost that has no tell when the breaker is broken. it would act exactly the same as a jhinn.

[shadow walrus]

Idk i think youre being highkey selfish and not very open with your thinking here, the ghost idea is great and can also be altered a bit to fit a tell other than the breaker, it would also not act just like a jinn it would be different in many ways

[rotund plover]

Uhh buddy i am in no way being selfish. I pointed out a fatal flaw in the guys proposal and he admitted that he thought it was bad too now that i mentioned it. Also please explain to me how this ghost would act any different to a jinn in apoc 3 (breaker broken) with your thousands of hours of game knowledge

[shadow walrus]

Why are we being so aggressive? Yes I understand the idea is bad for apoc 3 but again its a baseline idea and can be tweaked, also you have no idea how many hours or how much knowledge I have. Again you are being selfish because youre only recognizing apoc 3 a mode specially tailored to be incredibly difficult. They could make a special tweak similar to the banshee where a simple audio cue or even maybe camera cue of some kind helps, who knows. Im just trying to be more open minded about an idea I feel is very good and could be really fun and engaging, have a nice night and enjoy some games!

[rotund plover]

Yes and when I originally replied to the owner I feel like i was nice about it and just pointed it out there was no need for you to pipe up. There is only 1 ghost that doesn't currently have a tell in apoc 3 and that is a jhinn. Every other ghost has a tell even tho it may take hours to see it. Ever ghost should be balanced for every gamemode. But i was very polite when i was talking to the person who suggested it and there was no need for your input to me since it wasn't a useful input.

[tepid plume]

Make it so we have an option to play the first version or second version tanglewood when selecting tanglewood so people who like the old one more or the new one better can have a bit more of a choice

[daring anvil]

Hi, I decided to share my concept for ghosts. I spent three days thinking about the ideas. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

[sharp crater]

No it’s a pretty good counter argument imo, I think considering Apoc 3 is necessary when making ghosts

[sharp crater]

I thought you were pretty nice about it
I’m honestly still trying to think of something to make the Thunderbird have a tell in Apoc 3
NotSweetie mentioned smth about an audio/camera cue which I like the idea of, maybe the Thunderbird could look kinda like a humanoid bird when seen in nightvision

Alright, here is reworked Thunderbird

BASIC ATTRIBUTES
• Default hunt sanity is 10% (wouldn’t matter in Apoc 3 because sanity starts at 0)
• Speed is 1.7m/s
• Any ghost model, but appears as a humanoid bird when viewed in nightvision

STRENGTHS

Same as before. Breaker increase hunt sanity and can cause an instant hunt if overflowed.

WEAKNESSES

Calm with the lack of the breaker, easy to tell with night vision.

ABILITIES

I’m keeping the same ability as before, but along with the avian appearance, I’m adding an idea I had for Jinn (which should still be added for Jinn to give it a tell in Apoc 3 - then players can view the ghost in nightvision to see if it’s Jinn or Thunderbird) - the Thunderbird produces electricity, causing lights to flicker within 4 meters of the ghost (despite the lack of the breaker’s power).

So I take it, it's a hardware issue. There's likely something you can do to fix that in steam VR. I've played previously with an oculus quest 2, before the performance tanked with later updates. And had no issue with orientation of held items.

Instead of doing an in-depth explanation, I’m just gonna give my short ideas on how to make some ghosts better

Goryo

• More events in ghost room, no events outside of ghost room

Jinn

• With or without breaker, produces electricity and makes lights flicker on and off

Mare

• Add a power outage ability - basically a breaker turning off but more scary

Poltergeist

• Make abilities more frequent

Spirit

• Make them more aggressive the longer the players stay in the ghost room (more events, higher hunt sanity as time goes on)

Yurei

• Add an ability that drains sanity by 1% when a player touches a door
• Not sure if above ability would work for some maps, but Yurei feels so boring right now. Making his current ability more frequent would make him too powerful and wouldn’t guarantee that players see it more

Ghost idea: Vulcan

Reverse Onryo, if you will.

Vulcan is the Roman god of the forge.

ATTRIBUTES

• Hunts at 40% sanity. This increases to 65% sanity in the presence of flames.
• Speed is 1.7m/s, but increases to 2.4m/s near flames
• Male ghost model only

The Vulcan will not blow out flames. It moves faster and hunts more in their presence. It lights flames considerably more than other ghosts, so players must be cautious as to extinguish any lit flames if they suspect a Vulcan.

Evidence would be pretty opposing to an Onryo:

• D.O.T.S.
• EMF 5
• Ghost Writing

TELLS

• If the ghost blows out a flame, Vulcan can be ruled out

[wise marten]

perm unlock a t3 when you prestige :)

[winged torrent]

I suggested a CoD token system in the past where you could permanently unlock an item, but for balance reasons you have to unlock the lower tiers first.

[wise marten]

wouldve made prestiging 1000x more enjoyable

[winged torrent]

Which reminds me:

Add a matchstick to every map so the summoning circle is actually usable on the realy early levels.

[tough grail]

quick suggestion for new tool for evidence, Thermal Imaging Camera. maybe wouldn't exactly show you the ghost, but it would show heat signatures on or around anything the ghost interacts with. could also have a unique ability with the Hantu where instead of showing warm interactions, it shows cold instead. Like if a fingerprint would normally show up bright for other ghosts, it would show up dark for Hantu

[bright wing]

Silent ghost events where the ghost is silently watching you from afar but does not give any signs while doing so

[long brook]

The gnome in the new tanglewood should be a part of a bigger easteregg other than it speaking around the ghost, something to do with the train table? The activities room? The lawnmower?

[grizzled elbow]

Please add some animation for when i'm in the journal so that my friends can tell i'm in my journal, just the character holding the book or some such

[dense moon]

I think adding animaton's where the ghost isn't just walking around or crawling would make this game 1000% better. Make the ghost able to crawl on the the walls and and ceiling would bring back the thrill for us. When it ghost events add an amination where its in the top corner of a wall of floating down to you. In addition to that, make the ghost dodgeable under certain circumstances like when its on the ceiling before it drops down.

[willow scarab]

Why don't they make it so you can plug the sound recorder to the parabolic mic and get sounds from that too?🤔

[lost elm]

The Paranoia Mode difficulty for Phasmophobia is designed as an experience focused on psychological horror and constant distrust, aimed at players who already master the game’s traditional mechanics. In this mode, the objective remains to correctly identify the ghost, but the process becomes significantly more complex because the game itself is no longer a reliable source of information. Unlike other difficulties where evidence is consistent, this mode introduces intentional distortions that force players to question everything they see, hear, and interpret.

One of the core mechanics is the alteration of evidence. Some pieces of evidence may appear falsely or only temporarily, such as ghost orbs showing up on camera without belonging to the actual ghost, writing appearing in the ghost book and later disappearing, or Spirit Box responses that do not reflect the entity’s true nature. These anomalies are not constant, but intermittent, creating a constant sense of uncertainty. Players can no longer rely on a single observation and must instead confirm patterns and repeat tests to reduce the margin of error.

Another key aspect is the manipulation of information from the van. Monitors are no longer fully reliable: activity levels may display spikes that do not correspond to real events or, conversely, hide important moments. Cameras may show visual interference, ambiguous shadows, or false indicators that mislead the team. This especially impacts group dynamics, as the role of the player monitoring from outside loses accuracy and can lead to incorrect decisions.

Communication also becomes vulnerable. The system can introduce voice imitations or altered responses, creating situations where a player believes they heard a teammate giving an instruction or warning that never actually happened. This not only increases tension but also disrupts team coordination, forcing players to constantly verify the information they receive. In this context, the ghost does not only frighten players, but also indirectly manipulates their interactions.

Additionally, psychological events are introduced that do not directly affect hunts but instead target perception. Apparitions in incorrect locations, visual manifestations that do not reflect the ghost’s true position, and misleading sounds are part of this added layer of difficulty. These events are not meant to harm the player, but to confuse them, creating doubt about which signals are real and which are not.

Sanity plays an even more important role than in other difficulties. It drains faster and has deeper effects, directly influencing the frequency and intensity of distortions. The lower the sanity, the higher the probability of experiencing false phenomena, creating a direct relationship between the player’s mental state and the reliability of the information they receive. This forces players to manage sanity not only as protection against hunts, but also as a way to maintain clarity during the investigation.

In terms of balance, Paranoia Mode stands above existing difficulties, compensated by higher rewards in money and experience. The true challenge is not just survival, but correctly interpreting reality within an environment designed to deceive. Players must develop critical thinking, cross-check evidence, and avoid rushing to conclusions. This mode transforms ghost hunting into a high-pressure deduction experience, where the main threat is not only the ghost itself, but the player’s inability to distinguish truth from constant manipulation.

[sharp crater]

Did you actually read through what ChatGPT gave you, or did you just read the first sentence and liked the idea?

You’re wording this like Paranoia Mode already exists, but it doesn’t. This doesn’t read like an idea, it reads like a thorough explanation of an already existing game mode.

Not to mention this gamemode wouldn’t make a lot of sense in practice, at least with the evidence parts. False evidence leads to people incorrectly guessing shit, then people get frustrated because everything is inconsistent. “Just double check your facts”, Phasmophobia already takes so long to play, so this part would just make the game so much longer.

On a side note, on the off-chance that this is your actual writing and ideas, I like the idea of the ghost crawling on the ceiling or walls, it’s definitely an idea I’ve seen in this channel before. That being said, it would be too difficult to program the ghost to hide in the corner, crawl on the walls - the amount of code to take that would be nuts.

[lost elm]

I did read through it, and you’re right about one thing: the way it’s written makes it sound like it already exists, which wasn’t the intention. It was meant to present the idea in a more “complete concept” format rather than a quick suggestion, but I can see how that comes off wrong in a Discord thread.

About the gameplay concerns, I get your point. If false evidence is too frequent or too random, it would absolutely just frustrate players instead of making the game more interesting. The idea isn’t to turn everything into pure RNG, but to introduce uncertainty in a controlled way. For example, limiting false evidence to very rare occurrences or tying it strictly to low sanity could keep it from dragging matches out too much. The goal would be tension and doubt, not making investigations twice as long or forcing constant rechecking of everything.

I also agree that Phasmophobia already has a slower pace compared to other games, so anything that extends investigation time too much would need to be carefully balanced or even optional, like a high-risk/high-reward mode for people who specifically want that kind of experience.

As for the crawling idea, that’s fair too. It sounds cool on paper, but in practice it could be a nightmare to implement properly, especially with pathfinding and animations. It’s one of those ideas that works better conceptually than technically unless the devs really want to invest a lot of time into it.

Overall, I’m not saying the idea is perfect or ready to be added as-is, just throwing out a concept that could be refined. Your points about frustration and practicality are valid.

[steep narwhal]

Some of these ideas are going to be implemented in horror 2.0

[bright wing]

is this ai

[hoary coyote]

new cursed object? something that forces the ghost to appear for a little bit at a time?

[low cedar]

New Hunting tool idea!
REM Pods!
A REM Pod (Radiating Electromagnetism Pod) uses a mini telescopic antenna to create its own small electromagnetic field. When something conductive, like a human hand or, theoretically, a spirit, gets close to the antenna, it disrupts the field and triggers lights and an audible alarm.
Tier 1: Hand held Dowsing Rods that cross when near a ghost interaction (1 meter)
Tier 2: Low-tech REM pod that only has a visual light indicator when triggered, can be placed down (2-3 meters)
Tier 3: High-tech REM pod that has audio and visual indicators when triggered, can be placed down (3-5 meters)

Thoughts?

[lost elm]

A bit, I gave him the idea and he put together a summary

[minor summit]

CLOCKED OMG ILY (platonically)

[minor summit]

You can type "chat GPT" in google and read to find the website but you can't put those abilities to have a conversation with someone and use a thought instead of AI? ☠️
That was not "a bit" that was a 75% ai usage, you typing out an idea with your own words and mistakes would've been more creative.

[devout wagon]

I will say. AI is not a “he” it’s not real. It’s a bunch of code poorly strung together to scan the internet and create responses that arent intelligent but appear intelligent. Do your own research. Do your own reading. Don’t outsource it to a codebase with extreme environmental and moral impact on the world

[tiny reef]

Copied from global chat:

Ghost idea:

Nereid / Sodden / the Drowned (three name suggestions)
The ghost of a drowned person
when close, the footsteps are very loud and sloshy-sounding
also more audible from further away (like an inverse Myling)

the Sodden would also get very aggressive when there's running water, hunting at 65% if a sink or shower is running within hearing distance (so it doesn't even need to be in the ghost room, just near enough to hear it)

[tough grail]

That sounds similar to my proposed Ayakashi ghost

[white latch]

Seems like a simple idea but I thought of the idea to add more to the activity corner in the lobby of the game and add the "4 in a row" game, we need more entertainment

[pulsar jolt]

:New map idea: The conjuring house would be absolutely sick and would fit perfectly

[obtuse beacon]

Im thinking about the variety of maps. There are many suburban houses, complexes (prison, school, etc.). When the diner was added, it felt like a breath of fresh air. Also in my opinion, it would be interesting to see non American maps styles (since there are also non-American players), for example those commie blocks or malls, but not necessarily traditional buildings.
It might be trash the thing I’m saying because it’s just a sudden thought.

[gritty wing]

ghost that only appears in mirror reflections. additionally glasses you could wear that have rear view side mirrors on them or like a tier 4 headgear

[tiny reef]

Nice

[severe grail]

A Plattenbau apartment block would be a cool map. I do also see so much potential in an abandoned mall. Reflecting on my airport idea, I think examples of Cold War-era architecture such as Berlin Schönefeld Airport and Pyongyang International Airport’s old terminal could serve as inspirations

[tiny reef]

Witte Wieven (Pale waifs)
Originally from the Northern areas of the Netherlands, they are said to appear as ghastly old women with clawed hands and razor-sharp teeth, haunting the night.
Tales warn of their cruelty: hiding treasures, taking infants from their cradles, and luring men to their death.
Originates from figures appearing in the mist/fog, that lure people to drown in the marshlands that the Netherlands consisted of a lot in the past (that was a real threat at the time)

I'm not sure how to make it work in the game, though
Orbs/Freezing/UV is still an available slot

another dutch ghost/story is the Good Mie
a woman who killed a LOT of people via poisoning; appears as a very kind and gentle soul, only to poison you
Maybe a ghost based on her could 'poison' the player - not too different from a Moroi, but via a different method
a ghost event for example
and she'll be friendly (30% hunts) unless you're poisoned, then she becomes very aggressive

[night cedar]

making a 5 to 6 person lobby and only letting them do the bigger maps like sunny meadows and maybe the camp/prison, adding a museum, hotel, ship and a mansion for the bigger groups to do as well

making smaller ones for smaller groups like with the camp/ sunny meadows

[mint meteor]

Add a geiger counter as an evidence equipment. it could be similar to emf but it could make the room slowly become hazardous and rapidly drain sanity the longer youre exposed to radiation. maybe it wouldnt work for the lore of the game or whatever as ive only played for maybe 10 hours. but i feel like bringing in new main evidence equipment would be cool

[tepid fjord]

Ghost shapeshift should count as a video of the ghost that’s kind of frustrating that it doesn’t

[minor summit]

It does...

[tall egret]

It doesn’t count as a video of the ghost as it’s an ability

[minor summit]

Oh really? I've seen it on the camera when I've been recording and it does make the loading logo appear

[tall egret]

You misunderstood. It is a video, yes, but it doesn’t count towards the “capture a video of the ghost” objective because it captures an ability, not the ghost itself

[minor summit]

ahhh alr ty 🫶

[languid robin]

VR belt calibration, for us skinny folks and maybe even bigger folks. would be as simple as moving your vr controller to your stomach, the belt tracking so that it fits nicely around your waist. only because i have found that the belt is simply too large for myself and im reaching out infront for things instead of actually at my hips/waist.

[tepid fjord]

For the purposes of this channel my suggestion was that it should count, as it’s a video of the ghost using the ability

[tall egret]

i know what you meant, i was explaining to someone who was a little confused

[tepid fjord]

Sry I read it wrong

[empty girder]

Ocean liner map on phasmophobia would be cool, one that looks like the Queen Mary ship. That would look sick especially under a blood moon

[severe grail]

Wow, when I made that cruise ship suggestion earlier this month, that’s exactly what I was imagining what it would look like

[empty girder]

Glad to know I'm not the only one thinking of a cruise map

[timid lark]

Pontianak, a new ghost that has a higher chance of being a child form and when hunting it spawns 2 ghosts, 1 slightly but noticibly faster and the faster one does nothing to you and then other one kills you, idk what evidence for it other than freezing temp. And its ghost ability is simular to twins so you can get like 2 interactions but 1 of them wont be picked up by video camera, weakness can be that it more frequently does mist form? Thats all. PS keep up the good work and there might be misspelled words. Bye

[timid lark]

It can have like freezing temp. And emf 5 (1 evidence away from twins) but then ghost orbs or something. Please tell me if im annoying so ill stop commenting every 5 minutes

[slow nymph]

I'm sure that someone came up with this already, but why not add an PKE meter? it can be used for evidence to show what ghost type you're dealing with but it can also be used to find the bone or cursed object in bigger maps.

[ornate smelt]

Having a toggle button for the strobe/police effect of the Diner map for our fellow epileptic and photosensitive ghost hunters.

[glossy oar]

fix the stair hitbox if you go to the bottom of the stairs you can walk off the side (i did submit a bug report for this)

[timid lark]

Maybe add a thing when if you right a ghost in evidence it makes it like sprakly or something to like mark something that has a higher chance to be that certain ghost

[shell lintel]

Hey me and @past breach have an idea for team mates to be able to hear their dead teem mates through the spirit box. Maybe with some sort of indication it's them and not the ghost

[shell lintel]

I don't know the exact ways it would work but we just thought it was cool.

[pallid socket]

I've been sitting on the idea of specialisations / classes, like an athlete with more sprint but can't see directional or distance info on gear, radio host who has proficiency in sound gear but can't use video gear as well, etc.

[sharp crater]

My friend and I had this idea too.
But to make it not overpowered, the dead player (DP) would sound muffled when just on the outside of the spirt box range, and kinda clear when next to the spirit box. Higher spirit box tier = DP sounds more clear. To also not troll teammates, when a player is giving a response, rather than white lights, blue (or any other color) lights are made

[shell lintel]

Bro literally our exact thoughts

[shell lintel]

Cause as well you can theoretically still communicate with the dead. By getting them to throw things.
For example you can ask them yes or no questions outside and get answers based on where they throw something. And they can lead you places by throwing things as well

[sharp crater]

My friends do this all the time too

[shell lintel]

Yeah I saw it in a video. Sadly can't play phasmo yet😥

[atomic forge]

April Fool's Event Idea:

Player Models and Ghost Models are swapped.

[tough epoch]

What if limited event maps like Christmas or anything like that have a chance of replacing the current map you play, you cant get the seasonal rewards just to spice up the level because not gonna lie seeing the same map with a different weather at most gets boring fast

[errant oasis]

add this sign outside one of the houses in the next update lol

[errant oasis]

or just increase the frequency of blood moons

[errant oasis]

or how about a dead player being added as a different type ghost in addition to the one already there haha
just kinda wandering around aimlessly

[desert gull]

How about when you get the ghost there is a chance they are “twins.” Different then the actual ghost type but if the mutation appears there are two ghost that hunt you at the same time

[leaden nebula]

A friend of mine suggested a cosmetic shop. Buy new outfits even if it's just to color swap. Tops, bottoms, shoes all sold separately. Maybe add event outfits. Complete stuff to unlock certain outfits and such to be more engaging

[pulsar raptor]

Instead of pure static in the walkie talkie when the ghost is hunting it should be glitchy so when u use it teamates can hear the ghost hunting instead of static

[haughty nest]

Different Death Animations.

Certain Deaths leave behind evidence, like a ghost hand print, a icy chill, etc.

Balance: Checking out the dead player lowers sanity significantly, and may cause another hunt within 3mins automatically, but does provide a very nice clue.

[molten wadi]

A ghost that can mimic/pretend to be players

[errant oasis]

iirc they're adding the ability to customize characters in the huge update this year

[past sleet]

-trello

[ashen leaf]

Kinetic Games has a Trello Board! There you can see potential upcoming updates, features, and fixes. You can find the Trello @ https://trello.com/b/9QrnqQ1j/phasmophobia.

[timid lark]

Please hear me

[cerulean silo]

They should add new hiding spots like under a bed or in a car

[molten wadi]

Ghosts currently can walk through beds so unless they fix it that might not be a good idea 😿

[ornate saffron]

They most likely won't fix that due to pathing issues. Plus it would require new animations to add hiding spots that you dont just walk into.

[lyric musk]

there's a huge update this year? link? tell me more about it

[errant oasis]

hehe yea, ^^^^ this

[tepid fjord]

Realistically I know why they wouldn’t do this, but after the big 1.0 launch I would love to see a ‘Legacy’ dlc or version of the game where you can play the original maps and lobby n stuff

[regal ferry]

Hello! Love phasmo, and would like to hold more items from 3 to 4 or 5.

[leaden nebula]

Ooo. Thx u for letting me know

[grizzled elbow]

You guys made ghost orbs not take successive recordings, please do the same for the motion sensor because if I'm recording and there's a motion sensor there and it activates it'll immediately fill up our media with like 3 motion sensor recordings

[sharp crater]

This happens way too much to me 😭

[grizzled elbow]

It just feels like it makes it so we can't use motion sensor for any actual motion sensing, and are made to just take a recording of it for an easy media and then turn it off and get rid of it so it's not interfering with our other recordings. I would rather keep it there so we can keep track of the ghosts movements and also still be able to record other stuff going on

[fickle ridge]

you should be able to play the videos and take a video of the UV feet walking and where they go.

[sharp crater]

Would be nice if one teammate took a hunting ghost video, then teammates in van could watch the video and determine it’s characteristics like speed and blink

[molten wadi]

Oh yep bot that I can’t report :/

[crude orchid]

There's something that always seemed off for me, I'd like to share my thoughts and get your opinions.

I think it would make more sense to start with tier 3 items and unlock tiers 2 and 1 as we progress. So the game would start "easy" and the difficulty increases as we reach higher levels.

For example:

• We start the game with tier 3 main equips available, making it easier to learn the game
• We unlock the Tier 3 secondary items (igniters, parabolic mic, etc) as we progress until level 50
• After level 50, we receive only tier 2 items. The lore could be related to cost cuts by the Ghost Hunting Company
  -After level 75, another cut, we receive only tier 1 items.

The pros I see are:

• The difficulty progression is much more natural (easy at the beginning, hard at the end)
• There is incentive to Prestige besides the badges

The cons are:

• This could get weird for multiplayer, since players would see benefit in adding a lower level player just to access better items.
• Some lower tier items are deemed better by some players, such as the UV flashlights

To mitigate this, the available tier could be a difficulty setting. Going in with Tier 1 items could add a higher reward multiplier than Tier 3 (which also makes more sense IMO, the harder the game, the better the rewards)

Anyway, just some random thoughts that I thought would be nice to share with you and get your opinions on 🙂 Happy Hunting!

[warped oyster]

I cant put a picture on here but a lore theory that would be really cool is that the child ghost model with it's whole face being a mouth with teeth was a patient at Sunny Meadows. We can see in the restricted section of the map that they seem to do a lot with teeth, theres tools to remove teeth as well as a lot of other surgical tools and theres bowls of teeth in multiple places, and that ghost model has rows and rows of teeth taking up it's full face.

Another Sunny Meadows theory I have is that Patient-07 is Nancy from Tanglewood, we're pretty sure the the granddaughter found in the attic of Bleasdale was from Grafton so we know the devs have the idea of connecting maps with lore

[sharp crater]

I don’t think this should replace the current system, but it would be cool if there was a campaign or smth that would implement this idea, where you start with the easy locations (Tanglewood, Willow) with t3 stuff and progress all the way to High School and Sunny Meadows with t1 stuff

[long brook]

OCE region as there has been situations where me ans my mates teleport back because of the lag or the ghost teleports onto us with no chance of survival during a hunt

[odd silo]

OCE region was removed early on due to connection issues, so now AS is the best region ping-wise to play on for OCE players currently

[long brook]

I get less ping on EU weirdly enough.
I also find a lot of aussies play EU more then asia due to the ping difference also. It was just a thought tho

[crude orchid]

A campaign mode would be really cool! I started playing after the game had already become complex, so it was really hard for me to understand all the ghosts, items and maps. A campaing would be an amazing way to teach everything gradually

[severe grail]

@tall egret not this scam again

[terse anvil]

They should add me to Phasmophibia... just cuz why not

[abstract cloak]

Could we get the ghost info on the discord updated with the new ghosts?
Well really just the rest of them

[sudden raft]

yenno, they should add a map of all the houses and other stuff so players can know where they are in the U.S. or wherever all the maps are

[stiff kindle]

Guys i had an idea: we could let the dead players talk to the alive players through spirit box, ouija board. and alive players can see what the dead players see through the haunted mirror, and alive players could summon dead players with a summoning circle (just random thought of this)

[worthy prawn]

I like this and to expand, what if when you die you can just see the ghost in its room so you can communicate through the spirit box to your team like “they’re in this room, the left and moved here, etc” and since you yourself is now a ghost the ghost doesn’t bother or even see you. Only the living

[stiff kindle]

Thats also a good idea!

[bright raft]

They should def improve on the optimization on the game.

Been playing Phasmo for a year, and the more recent versions have been degrading my FPS.

From a stable 80 FPS to now 60 FPS with a lot of stuttering (As of recent versions).

That is a very noticable difference. Even with the more simpler maps, it still has a lot of stuttering issues.

[ornate saffron]

Performance has continuously dropped for a while now. I used to be able to play the old asylum map in VR at a solid 90fps. Now I am running far lower settings and get occasional stutters on the new maps at a shaky 60fps on flatscreen. VR isn't even playable for me anymore, not even on the smallest maps, get like 30fps with drops and hitches.

[scenic lion]

I just have a question about if there's a possibility to increase the number of people allowed to join a room?

[bright raft]

Man, when will they ever implement optimizations.

Or better yet have more graphical customizations. Because, simple things like changing the quality and antialiasing of the game won't really do significant FPS changes.

Moreover, there are also a lot of unnecesarry files, the base game in of itself is 34GB. I mean, can't they cut half of that atleast? The base game itself is 13GB.

[chrome saddle]

I really wish that the new tanglewood drive wasnt so ambient noise heavy. As someone who is hard of hearing, the extra ambient sounds particularly on this map have made it to where, even in clear weather, I can barely hear footsteps and when it rains even light rain and not the heavy rain, I cant really hear footsteps at all. It makes me super sad because I love playing on zero evidence and I can no longer do that on tanglewood drive due to not really being able to hear the speed of footsteps. I dont have this issue on almost any other map. 😭 I understand that the rain is supposed to make it a bit harder but It has made the game at this point inaccessible for me.

[obtuse flicker]

can the devs making it so the washing machine's drum spin when turned one or be able to open the door on the washing machine

[opaque tulip]

A greater/longer/better stamina in some sort could be extremely good

[compact linden]

Phasmaphobia movie will be so peak lowkey

[violet sail]

mare is the most hated ghost in the game because its so difficult to solve

Mares right now: more aggressive in the dark

Mares if i was a dev: a mare is stronger in the dark and when it hunts in a dark room its fast

[spark heath]

Bunnies getting stuck under items and not being able to collect that said bunny 😑 it's driving me insane

[turbid estuary]

is there a chance to allow the option to change the text font in the books? I'm aware of friends struggling/being unable to read the current font and I was wondering if it was perhaps possible to have an option in the setting that will change it to a basic much more readable text?

[fresh bridge]

There isn’t. You can try adjust texture resolution to see if that helps

[raven plover]

I really would love to have them implement Larger Lobbies. 4 ain't cutting it anymore when I have more than 4 ppl (myself included) all wanting to play together. Either Allow us up to 8-10/12 People a Lobby + Increased Difficulty Tier cuz of Larger Lobby. OR If you can't / won't do it. Please for the Love Of God it's Been long enough of a Wait --> Enable Workshop Support and Let a Modder Do it PLEASE!

[scarlet ridge]

For a future April fools day prank, could you hide the equipment within the house? I think it would be so funny to spawn in and not see your equipment in the truck immediately. Also for a map suggestion, potentially a cemetary with a small white church could look cool!

Give us a small fishtank in the lobby and then make a small minigame in maple lodge to let us get the fish to put in the tank (very relevant suggestion ik)

[steel rose]

More "extreme" weathers could be unlocked by the seasonal events and like Halloween, event maps have these guaranteed.

Snowstorm weather - unlocked via holiday event

• Heavy snow
• 5-10% Slowdown on the ghost or player
• Hantu's speed a lot faster
• ALL rooms a lot colder, ghost room / physical location of the ghost would be marginally colder than the rest of the house

Stormy weather - Unlocked via Easter event

• Far heavier rain and wind
• Doors around the map randomly open (distinct but similar sound to a ghost interacting)
• Ghosts change rooms and roam far more often

home alone house as a map, it wouild be perfect, the creepy basement, 90s theme, triple floors

[minor summit]

Jaundice? 😭

[sharp crater]

I know we already have a lot of houses already but something like this / a more mansion kinda house would be so sick.

Closest we have to a mansion currently are the farmhouses. Having a 3 story + possibly a basement with like, idk, 30-40 rooms, would be so cool.

Possibly like a British mansion? I really like the architecture in the U.K.

[autumn narwhal]

Remember how I said we should originally use mods to change the textures of ghosts, well I possibly have a much safer idea to do so, why not incorporate a texture pack system and to make sure it works the texture pack maker could be built into phasmophobia. I feel it could be a much safer option compared to modding and possibly loosing everything. I'm no coder so don't send a ghost after me if this wouldn't work pls... my paranormal insurance is getting sick of reimbursement.

[steep pasture]

I would love to see a old castle map that's styled like its from the scooby doo TV show

[past sleet]

character customisation update hits hard 🔥

[flint knot]

Apartments; maps smaller than tanglewood, with a direct goal of being meant for new players. very few rooms, with the largest "rooms" being in one or more chambers (think how the tanglewood kitchen and dining room are connected, but not the same room). the map would be identified as tiny instead of small, and to prevent grinding, players over say, level 30 will only get 0.65% of the money they'd usually get. upon going to the location, instead of starting on a truck, you will start infront of the haunted apartment. there are foldable tables with the equipment loaded on them. there will also be two tables for the video camera computer, and also for the sanity, activity meter, etc all on laptops.
Ghost personalities: some ghosts just behave differently than others. some are highly territorial and will kill anyone who gets too close. some are just mischievious, there to only make a joke out of the players. some are guardian spirits, there to guard it's post, deterring anyone who approaches. or, some are just grouchy. ghosts will act differently, and it's behaviour will be different based off it's personality. (yes, this does mean there will be ghosts that do not kill as much as they usually would) for example, a young ghost will be more likely to spook the players all in the name of playing a game. older ghosts may be more relaxed, and more likely to do less. just being there to enjoy their afterlife. their personalities would also reflect their ghost type. a demon might be more malevolent, killing players simply for fun. a dayan might be more elusive, and simply trying to scare the players away to keep it's peace. a banshee might be more protective of it's home, and is trying to protect it's current residents. the personality of the ghost won't be directly told, and will simply have to be inferred. alternatively, you might find evidence that leans to what it's personality is.

Fake hunts: sometimes, a ghost really wants you out it's room, but it's morals tell it to keep you alive. so, it acts like it's hunting to scare you out. it will behave like any other hunt, but won't kill you. instead, yelling or crying at you. this would tie HEAVILY with the ghost's personality, as it might be doing a fake hunt, trying to play hide-and-seek with you. this brings up the possibility for a ghost type that does not kill at all!

Ghost idea: “Eidolon”

Coming from Greek mythology, they are more of a concept rather than an actual ghost, but they’re thing is mimicking the living. Similar to Phantoms or Shades, they are shadows of living people, with some literature works - like Helen of Troy - having an Eidolon be birthed from a dead person, with the person returning as merely a shadow.

ACTUAL IN-GAME STUFF

Eidolon’s evidence is EMF 5, Ghost Writing, and Ghost Orbs. It also has the Spirit Box as a fake evidence, which I will explain below.

Fake Spirit Box Ability

The Eidolon has no forced evidence, however it will always have Spirit Box, although it does not actually count as a piece of evidence, so it will show up in zero-evidence games. Like a Deogen, the Eidolon has a 33% chance to give a whispering spirit box response (similar to the Paranormal Whispering noise). This unique response lasts 5 seconds, and drains the sanity of all players within 4m by 1% for every second the player is within range.

Paranormal Whisper Ability

Eidolons are completely incapable of giving a Paranormal sound besides Paranormal Whispering (so no laughing, groaning, or talking). Every time a player detects a Paranormal Whisper either with the paramic or sound recorder, their sanity is drained by 5%.

Whispering Hunt Ability

During a normal hunt, the Eidolon has no tells, it is completely normal. However, every time a hunt starts, there is a chance that a Whispering Hunt is started instead.

The chances of this happening are equal to the amount of dead players put into a percentage. 1 player dead in a lobby of 3 = a 33% chance of a whispering hunt. In single player, it is simply 25%. The highest this can ever be is 3 players dead in a lobby of 4 with a 75% chance.

During the Whispering Hunt, the Eidolon will appear in a Shadow Form, like a Shade’s ability to do this in Summoning Circle or Music Box. The Eidolon does not show up as a Shadow Form via those cursed objects though.

[sharp crater]

My message was too big to include this, but during the Whispering Hunt, the Eidolon will also move with a speed increase equal to 0.3m/s for every dead player (with a minimum of +0.3 in single player). So a max speed of 2.6m/s in a 4-player lobby, and 2.0m/s in single player.

Point of this is to make the Eidolon dangerous during a hunt which balances how easy it is to tell what it is due to its shadow blinking.

Other notes about the Eidolon:
• Likes to do Shadow ghost events more
• Has a guaranteed chance to leave EMF 5 at the feet of a dead player for 20 seconds after it kills the player

[quick shuttle]

More prestige rewards
Allow players to earn slightly little bit more money or exp, anything that adds a little more to make it worth it than just a badge and quickslot slots. (if there is some that i don't know i'd love to know)

[harsh bolt]

We have a new weekly challeneg ''Double Trouble''
How it works: We have to play on -2 Evidence for it to work
Concept: We have two ghosts we need to figure out

• Both ghost share the evidence
  ==> The ghost type swtiches after each hunt so from ghost A to B back to A etc.

[slate vapor]

Limited-Time Events where you can play the old maps that have been reworked - for the nostalgia of the OGs

[rich valve]

Map idea's

Hospital, Graveyard, Daycare, Apartment Building, Fire station, and a new house because we can't have too many houses!

[severe musk]

this one is more of a Problem i see today, where Console Players move over to Pc, and they cant take there account from console over to pc, so i wanted to suggest a Phasmophobia account Linking so the main account they use is allow to get transfer over to the new platform or use them back and forth from different Platform

[white onyx]

I miss the old rockabilly music on Nell's and not whatever community member's county twang they replaced it. It's loud, obnoxious, and awful. I want my rockabilly back...

[lone yacht]

Mirage (placeholder name)
Evidence: writing, D.O.T.S., EMF
Hunt %: 50 (gives more chances that first haunt is a fake one, see below)
Abilities:

1. Writing evidence has a chance to fade over time. Forces this evidence type on harder difficulties.
2. Can trigger a fake hunt (any sanity %), will slam front door but not lock it. If a player opens the door the “hunt” will stop. During a Mirage (fake hunt) the ghost has a chance to randomly teleport to another uninhabited room if it loses line of sight. Mirage (the fake hunt not the ghost) stops if ghost is able to get within a half meter of the player it is tracking (even if the player is hiding). There is also a chance to trigger a real hunt (given sanity is low enough) 2-5 seconds after the end of a Mirage if a player is “found” during the Mirage. The ghost will return to the starting room to haunt for real. (This gives the player a sort of haunt whiplash, EMF goes dead, lights stop flickering, all signs say haunt is over just for it to start for real this time). Would also be neat if during the fake hunt the EMF only goes up to 4 as another way to distinguish.
   This ghost would be able to appear as more aggressive because of the Mirage ability which could fool players into thinking it’s a more aggressive ghost. If a lower sanity threshold is set it could make it appear to hunt early. The other ability for the chance for writing to fade over time also fits the theme of the ghost while providing a cool quirk that is specific to the ghost for those that are looking (like the Obake UV evidence). The writing ability allows newer players to get into catching unique ghost quirks. While the unique hunting characteristics keeps experienced players on their toes as they second guess if the hunt they were in was even real. In my opinion these abilities both create ways for newer and experienced players to enjoy the ghost without making it too obvious what ghost they’re up against as well as not making the ghost too bland.

[sharp crater]

Peak ghost idea
Like you said, it’s not too obvious but it also has tells
I also like the ghost writing part, it’s sad that ghost writing is so boring in its current state
Dots has Goryo and Yurei stuff
EMF is.. well, EMF
Freezing Temps has Hantu
Ghost Orbs have Mimic
Spirit Box has Deo and Moroi
UV has Obake
Writing has nothing

[grave jay]

Have the bigger maps apart of the events PLS & cycle through which maps are part of the event more frequently😅

[sharp crater]

Ghost idea: Ataphoi

Evidence: idk
Hunt Sanity: 60% when not in the ghost room, 40% when in the ghost room
Hunt Speed: normal (1.7)

Strengths:
• Roams a ton and doesn’t stay in the ghost room much
• Impossible to track via Motion Sensors. If the game gets the motion sensed objective and an Ataphoi, it will automatically reroll the ghost.

Weaknesses:
• Emits EMF 2 at its location every 15 seconds for 3-5 seconds, making it trackable via an EMF reader

[feral stag]

add a game chat for those who dont have a mic so people can communicate

[slate hatch]

Give the hosts the ability to remove people in game.
Weve had so many people hold the entire game hostage because they decide they dont like what the group is doing or they disagree with a result. Or they come in INTENDING to be toxic and troll.
I understand its a double edged sword, hosts can also abuse it. So prehaps a voting system could also be useful. Similar to deleting a media, just for player removal.

[arctic sage]

Should give us a coffee maker in the truck with some ghost huntin mugs that give like a 20% stamina boost and we can walk around sipping on it waiting for a shade to do something - realistically it doesnt need to give any buff it would just be funny and tickle my tism

[past sleet]

Sanity meds should give a speed boost for like 15 second (to the player of course)

[arctic sage]

Tier 3 gives inf stam I think thats fair enough

[slate hatch]

that makes me so happy!, thanks so much for the info, i appreciate it !

[hallow minnow]

Can we turn the sound of the Rain SFX down please

crossplay progression

[prisma condor]

diffent sound levels please, some are so loud vs others and even if theres some minimum for sounds it would be nice to change

[woeful field]

We desperately need cross play progression. I just updated this week from an XBox to a PC and would love to play my current account on my PC. I have too many trophies and badges to start over

[odd silo]

probs best for #screenshots, but damn, it like Discord light mode

[minor summit]

oh shit wrong channel ty 😭

[polar panther]

We want an interactive ghost event, like one that says "Leave the room," and if you don't leave within 5 seconds, the hunt begins, and so on

[humble bough]

there is a weird bug where if you and a friend delete media at the same time it counts as 2 deletes

[glossy owl]

Hello i have a suggestion on an cursed object, i was thinking lowkey Chralie charlie would be such a cool thing to have in phasmophobia, It would be paper and on it two pencils with the Yes and No questions and after 3 or 4 uses it would burn down. I would put that cursed object on a desk or somewhere near an office or so. it was just an idea i dont know if its smart but yea

[hybrid hinge]

it would be great if they added support for xbox one

[sharp crater]

(Another) Ghost Idea: unnamed (lol)

Kinda like a Moroi and a Phantom? But way more creepy. This ghost - fuck it, we’ll call him Jeff - Jeff gives the players collectively a curse if anyone takes a photo of the ghost, or any variant of the ghost, I.e. shadow form.

When cursed, all photos add to a Curse Meter, which can only go down if a player consumes a sanity med. Once the meter reaches 5, it immediately starts a Cursed Hunt, and all hunts afterwards are Cursed Hunts.

The following photos add or reduce the meter:

• Sanity meds reduce the meter by 1
• Bone (+1)
• EMF Reading (+1)
• Ghost Writing (+1)
• An additional ghost photo (+2)
• Burned Crucifix (+2)
• Dead Player (+2)

Additionally - every cursed photo will show a faint image of something super scary. Maybe Jeff’s demo- I mean, angelic face, or a skull, etc. When the meter is at 1, the image is super faint, basically undetectable. At 5 though, it’s honestly easier to see than the actual photo. So if players are perceptive, they’ll be able to catch a Jeff curse before it’s too late.

[minor summit]

Well shit there goes all the games, people will just kick at the end so no one gets xp or money 😭

[minor summit]

Can we not have to put an email for bug requests, I dont want to be contact after.
Yes that is my suggestion

[rare totem]

Nah thats Sea of Thieves levels of petty

[obtuse whale]

They should run double xp for the first week of every event/big update. Or just have it appear randomly

[weary summit]

The Veltrix is a hyper-adaptive predator that studies investigators mid-hunt. It thrives on hesitation and misdirection, blending truth with deception until it’s too late to react.
Evidence (3)

D.O.T.S Projector
Ghost Writing
Freezing Temperatures

Acceleration
The Veltrix starts hunts at normal speed, but rapidly accelerates the longer it has line of sight, reaching extreme speed—just barely escapable with perfect movement and smudge timing.

False Trail
It can briefly create fake footsteps or sounds in a different direction, making players think it’s elsewhere during a hunt.

Adaptive Tracking
If you hide in the same type of spot repeatedly (closets, lockers, etc.), it becomes more likely to check those spots first in future hunts.

Weaknesses

Overcommitment
When it reaches top speed, it has reduced turning ability, making sharp corners and looping more effective.

Memory reset
Using a smudge stick causes it to temporarily “forget” learned hiding preferences.

Predator Lock
If the Veltrix maintains line of sight for ~3 seconds, it “locks on,” gaining a sudden burst of speed. However, breaking line of sight immediately cancels the boost

Break line of sight constantly don’t run in straight lines.

• Avoid reusing the same hiding spot over and over.
• If you hear footsteps that don’t match its position, don’t trust them.
  Save smudge sticks for when it starts ramping up speed and timing is everything. (U cant get it untill ur atleast level 40)

[hazy acorn]

Add Win streak

[weary summit]

Make a system where players can use models for furniture, buildings and other items to make custom maps, and make it so u can choose the ghost before the game, this would reset the multiplier to 0x

[sharp crater]

Feels like too many abilities for one ghost

Adaptive Tracking would probably be hard to code but I’m no programmer so idk

Feels like it should really be like two or three ghosts
• a ghost that’s super fast but isn’t good at turning sharp corners (that alone is enough for one ghost, plus a non-hunt tell of sorts)
• a ghost that recalls locations but forgets said locations when smudged (although tbh this sounds more annoying than anything, definitely needs to be LV 40+ like you said)
• a ghost of false trails and trickery (would need a weakness to counteract this, perhaps easily tricked by noise like nearby electronics going haywire or a DOTS projector)

[wheat gale]

I'd like ghosts to be able to break our equipment on higher difficulties

[uneven warren]

this is the voting so far!

[minor summit]

Have you not MET the majority of players they are that mean and petty 😭

[minor summit]

Start a thaye with a child model/avatar and have it change to older ones as it ages up

[rich valve]

A graveyard map with 2 ghosts???

[sharp crater]

2 ghosts would make the game insanely different but a graveyard map sounds peak
Could even add a lil crypt and/or a shed to make it partially indoors but still mostly outdoors

[rich valve]

2 ghosts, like with only 2 evidence but both have the same 2.

[sharp crater]

I know how it would work, or at least I’ve heard what people believe how it should work, but even if it works out, it’s not gonna be like regular Phasmo.

It just… wouldn’t work, if that makes any sense.

Unless you have two ghosts in two completely separate locations which the two can never meet, it can not work. For probably half a dozen reasons at least, pushing evidence aside, cuz that’s what people seem to be most concerned with.

[rich valve]

I understand, I think the only way the two ghost would work, is like if it's a ghostbusters thing and after one ghost is found, you get a new set of evidence you need too find or something.

[sharp crater]

True true
Yk what I wish? I wish they made Twins
Yk
Actual twins?
I know it’s super fuckin obvious, but a Revenant is obvious, and like a Revenant, it would be super dangerous
Maybe, like… a chance that, when a hunt starts, two ghosts spawn at two locations, one slower, one faster

[rich valve]

That's a smart idea too be fair. Maybe that only happens on insanity mode?

[sharp crater]

Either that, or the chances scale with difficulty

• Impossible on Amateur and Intermediate
• 10-20% chance on Professional
• 20-35% chance on Nightmare
• 35%-50% chance on Insanity
• And then perhaps another custom setting for this
  I’m obviously just throwing out numbers but maybe smth like that

[rich valve]

Or maybe something like

[rancid tartan]

Goryo should have unique ghost event abilities similar to shade or the oni, something like being able to more red-light ghost events. It would make them more fun, easier to identify on no evidence but also not too easy just like what the devs prefer

[rich valve]

They should add a system, where the ghost can speak through the radio randomly just like screaming, talking, and ghost noises, but is a very rare chance of happening.

[ornate saffron]

One thing I'd like added to the ghost selection part of the journal is a third option, instead of just crossout or circle. Either a question mark, or a flag. That way you can keep track of ghosts you think it might be while trying to figure out which one it is. This would be good for situations where you have limited or no evidence, but you have a hunch as to what ghost it could be.

[tepid fjord]

Thought of this while playing with my friend earlier. Everyone wants an official way to talk to dead teammates, so my suggestion is a new piece of equipment with two lights or buzzers that the dead teammate can use to answer yes or no question. Basically a more sophisticated ‘throw the clip board for yes’ method but it would be nice to have something official in game

[blissful widget]

Lobby Names would be amazing. Like instead of just saying “(username)’s room” you could name it to “Tanglewood ID Card grinding” or something so people know what they are joining for.

[severe grail]

Maybe democratize the kicking function? I’m tired of entering lobbies just to get kicked without any reason at all. If people don’t want someone in a party, they should just ask. If said person refuses to leave, then they should be kicked.

[sharp crater]

Ghost idea: The Stalker

Evidence:

• D.O.T.S.
• Freezing Temps
• Spirit Box
  Hunt Sanity: dependant on target
  Hunt Speed: normal (1.7)

Strengths:

• Will choose a target of complete randomness. Will hunt based off of their sanity rather than the group’s sanity, but will hunt based off of group sanity if the target is not present in the building.
• Will only haunt near the target, never leaving them, always staying within 6m. If the target is not present, The Stalker will go to the exit that the target left, and will haunt that area.

Weaknesses:

• Shows up on DOTS incredibly frequently, almost all the time. Targeted player could walk near DOTS and easily figure out what ghost it is.

[twin tinsel]

[twin tinsel]

alright ty

[exotic carbon]

Could we please change the highlight box on the video camera (when it detects media) to like blue or red or something? It's so hard to see sometimes especially on event maps in rooms with the firefly lamps with the current white box on the already white night vision camera mode when trying to see orbs in particular

[rancid tartan]

so basically a banshee

[sharp crater]

Kinda, definitely draws some big similarities to Banshee, except that Banshee is overall a lot more safe.
Because The Stalker strictly haunts the target, most of the time it won’t be in crucifix range, unless the target is always in the ghost room.
It’s 50/50 if it’ll be safe. If it chooses a target who stays in the ghost room a lot, it’s unlikely to hunt, will be stopped by crucies, and will show evidence quickly.
But if it chooses a target who roams a lot, that target is likely to be assassinated, distant from the group, which isn’t very dangerous in small maps but imagine getting The Stalker on SM

[halcyon whale]

Guys, not sure if this has been topiced before, but will there be trophys for the three new ghosts? (Dayan, Obambo and Gallu)

[sharp crater]

Ah yes, I do love this suggestion, I think it would fit the game perfectly.

[reef mulch]

Nope, due to Sony or Microsoft saying that they will not allow Kinetic Games add more available achievements, they decided to not add more for all platforms, maybe in the near future, PC might get it but I doubt it

[severe grail]

Why not?

[reef mulch]

Because when unlocking achievements on PSN and Xbox, you can receive points which you can earn rewards such like wallet funds, games ect. So they did not allow KG to add more and new achievements to an already existing game

[severe grail]

Huh. I thought the “G” points were just for bragging rights

[reef mulch]

Nope you can earn rewards with the points you collect

[maiden glen]

Add dybbuk as a new ghost. Dybbuk box cursed item. They are known as attaching spirit, and my jewish coworker told me real stories about it. His stories has nothing to do with dybbuk box, and they are deadly if they attach themselves to victims.

[summer kayak]

Add a backpack for solo play. You can put 4 items in it, & it takes a single slot you can hold. But, you can’t use the items in the backpack until you set it down. @potent cedar

[sharp crater]

Now I’m currently researching this ghost because it sounds hella cool

Edit: from what I have learned, the Dybbuk is an often male possessive spirit who will cling or attach to a target, possessing them so that the Dybbuk can proceed with unfinished business.

As for the box, I couldn’t find as much info on it, but it appears to be a Dybbuk-harboring cursed item, one of a kind, that caused bad luck and nightmares.

[maiden glen]

It’s because they perform exorcism, casting dybbuk back into the box, and put personal belongings to the box. According to stories, and I watched documentaries about it.

[sharp crater]

(Another) ghost idea: Dybbuk

Credits: @maiden glen

The bulk of the abilities that the Dybbuk has are my own conceptions but its idea is based on the actual stories of the Jewish Dybbuk ghost - an often male possessive spirit that clings or attaches to an often female person, possessing them to finish unfinished business.

Evidence: idk
Hunt Sanity: 40/80%
Hunt Speed: 1.5/1.9 m/s

• 1.7 is the normal for comparison

Strengths:

• Can “cling” to a player as an ability that occurs semi-frequently. While clinged, the target’s sanity drains twice as fast, the ghost will roam a lot near the player, and the ghost will do a lot more events specifically near the target.
• Hunt sanity is increased to 80% if it has a clinged target
• Hunt speed is increased to 1.9m if it has a clinged target

Weaknesses:

• Only male ghost model and name
• Hunt sanity is decreased to 40% by default
• Hunt speed is decreased to 1.5m by default
• Consuming two sanity medications removes the curse

[maiden glen]

Sounds a lot better

[sharp crater]

Additional note about the Dybbuk:

There could also be the Dybbuk box, which will spawn with an equal chance of other cursed objects. Using it drains sanity, but temporarily prevents a hunt. It has 4-6 uses - randomly determined, and visible on the box. If the last one is used, the instant the ability to prevent a hunt wears off, a cursed hunt instantly starts.

Additionally, a player that is clinged by a Dybbuk can use the box to remove the curse, as well as receive the effects that the box would normally use.

[maiden glen]

Zak Bagans has one real cursed object in his museum in Las Vegas if you’re interested. He has dybbuk cursed objects in his museum collection. Ask him stories

[maiden glen]

It pretty good idea

[karmic remnant]

Add flamethrowers to the game so we can burn the Hantus

[exotic carbon]

Could we bring back Banshee scream and Deo Growl as properly named Unique evidence? I mean mimics can also do them and you still have Obake Handprint named as unique evidence, why not those two as well still? Also could we introduce a Demon ability where it actively avoids going say within 3 meters of a crucifix even when hunting, that would be a nice, unique little tell, say for example the ghost goes running up to the crucifix when it see's you then when it's within range of the crucifix, it just won't come near you. Maybe a unique guttural growl for a demon as well? Just idea's 🙂

[sharp crater]

Not to mention we also have Obake Shapeshift
It just makes sense for Banshee and Deogen to have their own media for sounds.

[sharp crater]

Ghost idea: Ghoul

The Ghoul feeds off of life and death. Killing players strengthens the Ghoul, but a lack of players will weaken it after hunts.

Hunt Sanity: 40% default. Up to 100%.
Hunt Speed: 1.7m/s by default.
Has a more physical form like an Oni.

STRENGTHS

• Hunt Sanity increases by 20% for every dead player
• Hunt Speed increases to 2.2m/s for 5 seconds after killing a player
• Has a permanent speed of 2.2m/s if there are 2 or more dead players

WEAKNESSES

• Hunt Cooldown is 30 seconds by default, and increases by 5 seconds for every dead player.

[pine mason]

Make the dead be able to interact with the environment more. Have dead teammates able to turn on stoves or close doors maybe to warn living players of the nearby ghost. Which brings me to my next point. Make the dead able to see the ghost at all times, considering the dead can see other dead players as well. Maybe hints will be given to dead teammates as well such as shape shifting ghosts turning into teammates.

[plain flax]

1. Infinite Sprint while outside the "Ghost Zone". (I understand the game design choice to "set the scene" by making players initially walk up to a spooky looking building, it gets a bit annoying to run out of Stamina on your way to the front door your 100th time playing the map.)

2. Keybinds for Item Slots. 1-3 being your 3 main items and 4 for Igniter by default. (I want to be able to put my Incense into slot 3, so no matter which Item Slot I currently have selected, I can press "3 -> Right-Click" to smudge.)

[rancid sigil]

*** NEW MAP IDEAS ***

**

• A map where you spawn on a dock with your bus and have to enter a haunted yacht / cruise boat.
• A map where you spawn with your bus on an airfield and need to find the ghost in the airplane can be a big size airplane or a smaller one.
• A map instead of a house u go to a castle
• a map instead of a house u go to a emergency centre / police station.
• a map instead of a house u go to a haunted train station.
• a map instead of a house u go to a church **

[rancid tartan]

The tier 3 smudge sticks should be just a glock and the bullets dipped in holy water for the smudge effect 🗣️ 🔥

[stark remnant]

Ghost idea!
Haint. From Appalachian folklore. A restless spirit; similar to a Poltergeist but more dangerous. A trickster.

Normal speed and Blink pattern, gains LOS speed. Vocal ghost; will have a higher frequency of ghost events. Throws things frequently.

Special Ability: Can interact with objects away from its favorite room, specifically when there are no players in them, as to "call you" to that room.

Strengths: can be hard to locate favorite room because of interactions outside it's room.

Weakness: Salt and Incense have double the effect.

Evidence:
UV
Ghost Orbs
Spirit Box

A Kludde is a hostile spirit. Known for stalking its prey in darkness and instilling overwhelming dread. Witnesses often report hearing faint distant footsteps before any manifestation occurs. The Kludde thrives on fear and confusion, using psychological tactics to weaken investigators before striking.

Unique trait:
This ghost can start “fake” hunts a full-scale hunt event that feels like any normal hunt. During the fake hunt the Kludde has a random speed of 2m/s - 1.5m/s without LOS speed the speed changes after every hunt. The hunt has a 5% chance of starting 50 seconds after a interaction. This hunt is completely harmless but still drains your sanity.

Strengths:
• Can create intense pressure by triggering fake hunts unexpectedly
• Disorients players and wastes resources (smudge sticks, hiding, etc.)
• Relies heavily on audio cues to build tension

Weaknesses:
• Fake hunts do not result in player deaths
• Experienced investigators can distinguish real hunts from fake ones over time
• Less dangerous than other ghosts during actual hunts

Normal hunts:
A normal hunt can only start from 40% sanity it wont drain your sanity and wont have LOS speed. During the normal hunt the ghost will have a speed of 1.7m/s

Evidence:

EMF 5

Side note : the kludde comes from belgium / east flanders folklore

[cobalt falcon]

map idea? a whole island, perhaps bigger than sunny?

[severe grail]

An abandoned island resort could have potential

[cobalt falcon]

or like an island with all the different maps in it such as: tangle woodwind etc. for like a anniversary

[final topaz]

Right

[tough goblet]

Please add some more cursors, I find it very hard to see and find it on my screen. Perhaps it would be a good idea to add outlines for the cursors to make it easier to find them, and maybe be able to change their size?

[fresh bridge]

You can change their side and color in the game tab in the settings. If that helps any.

[tough goblet]

Thank you so much!!! I’ll try it out

[ornate saffron]

I'd also recommend you change the cursor colour to an uncommon colour. I use pink, as almost nothing in the game is that colour, and it contrasts well with both light and dark backgrounds

[obtuse whale]

What if we had cosmetics that we unlocked alongside whatever badge we have? Like the new astronomer badge would also unlock some kind of accessory for our character whenever the character overhaul drops. And badges we've already unlocked would have their cosmetics automatically unlocked

[severe grail]

@pale cobalt That scam is back

[fresh bridge]

Please report using right-click/long press, then Apps and then Report Message. Tagging the bot does nothing.

[severe grail]

Ah okay. Thanks. I swear, that scam is really becoming a nuisance.

[proven bison]

I don't know if this is suggested before

• Hotkeys for hotbar slots first 4 (3 equipment 1 lighter) so insted of cycling with mouse scroll we can press the numbers above WASD and choose equipment we need and dont miss quick events and such.

[unique dagger]

A button to switch between the new and old ghost evidence tab in the journal

[wicked hound]

I feel like it would be a cool idea if when your dead and a team mate is using a spirit box you should be able to tell them things

[olive sigil]

make it so onryo has a higher chance of having the ghost model inspired by kayako saeki from the grudge, since shes an onryo herself

[tawny dew]

THIS IS VERY NEEDED:
Please add either Hindi or Urdu as a language in the online section of the gamee. Language is one of the most important components. There not being these two languages causes a big problem for a Huge community and a lot of people. Adding the language would be really appreciated and has become a need. Please take notice and do a lot of people good and savee them time.

The Pishacha
(from Hindu folklore)
The Pischacha is a malevolent spirit tied to madness, decay, and corrupted thought. Known in ancient lore for feeding on the mind as much as the body, it does not simply haunt its victims, it unravels them. Investigators report distorted voices, false responses, and a creeping sense that their own equipment is bestraying them.

The Pischacha thrives on confusion, warping perception and turning trusted tools into instruments of doubt. Those who linger too long may find themselves questioning not just the ghost, but reality itself.

-Unique traits

.It has a chance to produce false spirit box responses, even if that's not part of its evidence. (Like the mimic)
.Ghost writing can disappear or change
.EMF readings may briefly spike incorrectly before stabilizing.
(These events can happen more frequently the lower the sanity)

-Strenghts

.Can mislead investigations by faking or altering evidence
.causes players to second guess their findings, slowing down identification
.Becomes more aggressive and deceptive at low sanity

-Weakness

.Less aggressive in hunts compared to more violent entities
.Its false evidence can also become revealing

-Normal hunts
hunt can start at 50% sanity

.Movement: 1.6m/s (no line of sight speed increase)
.During hunts, players may hear distorted or overlapping voices, including spirit box phrases.
.Electronic interference is stronger and less predictable

-Evidence

Ghost Idea: Mania

Greek spirit of insanity and madness. In-game, it’s a ghost that’s high basically

Hunt Sanity: 75%
Hunt Speed: 2.0m/s

STRENGTHS

• Faster speed
• Hunts sooner
• All protective equipment gives the Mania a speed-boost temporarily to 2.3m/s, it cannot stack, lasts 4 seconds. The effects would occur for a smudge after the smudge is done smudging the smudge of smudge smudge

WEAKNESSES

• Shows evidence twice as fast (please don’t ask what it’s evidence is, Idfk)
• Does interactions and events more often
• Overall, does basically everything quicker, so games are easier and speedier, especially for Apoc 3

[stark ridge]

it would be cool if the random selection was split between small maps and large maps.

[ornate saffron]

Or if you could curate a selection of maps to be randomised.

[weary summit]

Add kbm play support for consoles, edit: do we have any specific drop times?

[fresh bridge]

It’s being worked on

[rigid gust]

Premise: Unique Event

For 1 Week, players can opt into a random que. The que distributes 4 players randomly and chooses 1 map (Brownstone High School, Prison, Sunny Meadows, and "undisclosed". Players have 60 seconds to choose any 3 tier 1 items. At the end of 60 seconds they are summoned into the interior of the location, the doors lock, and a random ghost begins to hunt. All curse objects are distributed on the map.

Each time a player dies, all other players receive a number. When all but 1 player remains, a number will spawn in the ghost's favorite room. If the surviving player gets to the terminal keeping the outer doors locked, input the code (the numbers), and return to the truck, they can obtain any 1 badge (twitch drop, special) except for Apocalypse that they previously missed out on.

Just thought it'd be hilarious to suggest.

[hidden dirge]

Happend to me in game lmao it was a mare that did emf 5,ghost orbs, spirit box,dots and ghost writing (it did 5 evidence the ghost I still don't know how)

[sage bramble]

I feel they really need to make it where we can run faster, or have better stamina. Also, maybe a backpack or some item to purchase to be able to carry more items?

[sharp crater]

What typa wannabe-Mimic shit is that 😭

[sharp crater]

1. Sprint speed is the speed of a Revenant, so unless you’re running an Apoc 3 game or you got a max-sprint Moroi on your ass, current sprint is fine as it is. As for the stamina, I think it’s good how it is, accept that there’s no way to view current stamina, which is a little wonky, so maybe some sort of mini-stamina bar circle around the cursor. Current speed mechanics right now are clunky to say the least
2. Current flow of the game is really good with the 3-item stuff. I think it’s only flaw is solo-play, where you have to make half a dozen trips to get all your stuff inside. A backpack for this would be nice although if a backpack is added, it should be added for, like, singleplayer only.

[winged torrent]

Infinite stamina when outside the investigation area would be nice. You could potentially argue longer sprint but longer cooldown for larger maps, but that may not be necessary depending on how they rework the remaining medium/large maps.

[minor summit]

Make a story mode with the ghosts more accurate to the folklore, some are malicious and some arent, some are women or kids only, some target men over women, some have different amount of fingers (not just the obake), also note out how some ghosts are types of each other, some target certain ages so could implement teen/young adults/adult characters, some appear as animals, bring in different types of a ghost like a spirit for extra hard modes, have a mimic, mimic voices (yes that would require the game to record voices but implement into privacy policy that it's only recordings of that round and it gets deleted right after, or even just keeps the audio for 1-2 minutes)
Also put more behaviours to certain ghosts to make it easier to know what they are such as jinns and yurei

[ornate saffron]

Stop putting focus on time limited "drops" or other exclusives that stop people who live in other timezones or have to work during the events from participating.

[solemn vault]

Hi! I don't know where exactly to write this.

I'm a massive fan of the game: I've got the Completionist badge and have played for years. However, these limited drops have really killed my desire to play. I'm a bit of a completionist, but the streams are always on during the middle of the night for me.

The new badge and ID card look amazing, and I'd have loved to have watched the stream! But I can't get it now. I feel really put off of playing as a result. The fact that I'm disadvantaged from getting cool stuff because of geography feels a little unfair.

I'd like to suggest that drops are available for 24 hours. I think it'd really make a difference. Or let us trade them on marketplace! I'd gladly trade cosmetics.

I know Devs don't monitor this channel due to the pop-up, but I think if other people feel similarly about it, it may be worth this being vocalised. I've seen a lot of people expressing this on Reddit, and in various places on here.

I still love the game, and I'm appreciative of the work going into it. But I don't want Phasmo to fall into the trap of scarcity farming, and I'm anxious that it is.

[sharp crater]

Ah yes, this would be a great addition to the game

[past sleet]

with the latest badge/id card drop, if im correct the devs could not control how long it was for, just the other people

[lean gust]

I've been thinking a long time about seeing a ghost from Slavic culture like Rusalka. It's a spirit of a female that died by drowning so it could have a specific interaction like always being able to leave dirty water, no matter the favored room. She could also maybe be faster near water? The evidence doesn't really matter.

[dusty chasm]

Add items the ghost attaches itself too and be territorial about like a stuffed animal, a rocking chair or even a plate or something it makes it feel more realistic having the ghost adapt itself to something

[crude hornet]

I don't know if this has been suggested before, but a SLS-camera as evidence would be pretty neat. Oh, and the ability to view recorded video evidence.

[sharp crater]

Being able to track the ghost’s location would be pretty cool, especially with a new camera.
Being able to track it constantly would be a bit powerful though, so maybe it would be part of the time
T1 with short range, not very often
T2 with mid range, semi-often
T3 with long range, often
Being able to view video evidence just seems like a must have tbh

[crude hornet]

Right? SO many possibilities.

[sharp crater]

like watching a video of your friend dying, or an Obake shapeshift

[crude hornet]

Yesssss. Or just that really creepy hallway ghost-event you missed when you were in the van.

[ashen bluff]

There should be a thing to turn down different audios like weather because I want to hear thr ghost and my friend over the the loud rain and stuff since I rely on my hearing most when in games.

[little field]

I believe the heavy rain being loud is meant to happen

[ashen bluff]

@little field I can understand that

[chrome gust]

Could there be a way to turn off the police car lights on Neil’s diner.

Me and my friend really want to play the map but the police car really makes her feel sick and Ill.

The odd flash light like a red room ghost event is fine but with the car lights being consent it makes it difficult for them to play that map.

[sharp crater]

Agreed although it shouldn’t be allowed to be made too quiet, there definitely should be customization with it (like Tanglewood rain) but it still needs to be loud enough to be an obstacle, like heavy rain

[mellow goblet]

can we simplify the shopping menu? Its always bugging for us.... I feel it is worse then the last UI update

[ashen bluff]

Especially in the woodwind camp where I literally struggled to heat anything and died multiple times which made me upset

[tardy pasture]

More than 3 custom difficulties please

[sonic sundial]

Make fragile objects break when a ghost throws them away, it would be funnier and even scarier like imagine being in complete darkness and hear a loud plate just explode infront of You, it would make the poltergeist more accurate of making way too much noise

[sacred elk]

How about a chat system so people don't have to use mics if they don't have any.

[subtle gale]

They should add rituals almost like an estes method to have more / better interactions with ghosts. It would be rlly cool if u could talk to a ghost that answers ur questions using something like the estes method

[slender torrent]

I think they should remake either the tier 3 motion sensor to the “rem pod” it would look cooler and way better. Since this tier three motion sensor should have a wider range.
They should be able to do an Estes method but this would only work with voice chat for obv reasons.

[urban dome]

we already got spirit box so no need for estes

[slender torrent]

Yh but like your blind folded and oyu have noise canceling headphones

[urban dome]

probably won't get added but rem pod could happen for tier 3 redesign because the devs did once change the tier 1 and tier 2 uv with each other

[agile gate]

Just a lil something, I posted in the Phasmo FB group, that's starting to get some "likes".....

[ashen ocean]

Would it be possible to have access to past limited badge like twitch ones at some point

[tribal vessel]

Please can there be u features added for deaf and hard of hearing players such as closed captions or on screen visual cues for hunting/activity! I have many hard of hearing friends I play with who really struggle

[cunning turret]

I also agree with this as one of my friends used to play and he now can't play anymore

[coral delta]

something cool could be holy water that could act as a powerup on certain items. Pour holy water on a crucifix and its radius is increased by 0.25% per level of the holy water or you could pour it on yourself and it acts as repellent that stuns the ghost but only has one use.

[latent python]

not a suggestion but more of a complaint/things I dislike and its the fact that on small maps with multiple floors, when the ghost goes to the other floor the sound gets so muffled, even if the ghost is still really close to the stairs, you can barely hear it and it doesnt sound too realistic and it can lead to players getting frustrated (def didnt just happen to me)

[subtle gale]

Thats the same thing I said an estes method would be so cool

[slender torrent]

fr

[slender torrent]

@terse hound ^^

[terse hound]

Got it. Thank you

[prisma iron]

I know that the game is primarily focused on paranormal investigation, evidence seeking, and trying to survive any and all attempts at potential hunts. But my friends and I had an idea to throw out here: what if it went further than ghost identification and then running to the van?

WHAT IF, once the ghost has been identified and circled, which can only be done inside the home, the house goes haywire; lights bursting or flickering, water flooding the bathrooms, toys acting up, etc., and the front door slams shut. It's now locked. The ghost is now very aware that you know who, and what, it is. It's now in a perpetual hunt to kill you until you find a way to unlock the front door and escape. Lay down salt to slow it down, but there's a time limit per each type of ghost. Wraith? Crucifix could slow it down and keep it back, but again, time limit. If there is someone in the truck that while all of that is going on, then they cannot circle what ghost it is until their friends are out or if they get inside the home themselves.

Creates real stakes and real panic, I think!

[rich summit]

Can you make spirit box easier to understand? i’m not sure if it’s just me but i seem to get a response and it’s really unclear? I asked it where it was and it sounded like it said its name is bob

[timid jacinth]

i'd love to have more possibilities in terms of photo evidence. as a mostly one evidence player I often end up waiting long time for ghost to trigger an event or move to room with a sink, while all other media are fullfilled ;/

also - i think a hotbar or shortcuts for each piece of equipment would be great

[coral delta]

i feel like crystals should be added where certain crystals like quartz or obsidian would trigger different reactions in different ghosts. Still developing the idea though.

[earnest condor]

an opera map!! not just bc i recently got into phantom of the opera, but bc it would be a cool map imo!! id love to have a ghost trigger an organ and have it go haywire in an opera

[minor summit]

When you finish a game can the detail stats or game summary tell you what the ghosts favourite room was orginially? would just be nice to see how far it was

[bright tide]

ok seriously whats the logical reason for photo camera delaying the ability to change to other items for 1 second, i get why you did it (to prevent people carrying 3 photo cameras to quick spam 3 at once to get photos of ghost) but why not just make it so you can only carry 1 in your inventory then??????? this seems like such a stupid oversight that seems to intentionally be a nuisance just for the sake of it

[severe grail]

Wow, that was quick

[pallid stump]

I was hoping for consoles that are strong enough to have like a split screen so that two people can play locally it would be fun

[minor summit]

Wait they don't do split screen? 😭

[ornate saffron]

Nope. And it probably won't even be a possibility until a substantial amount of optimisation work is done. Running splitscreen takes a lot of performance.

[sharp crater]

Who would I ping for this
Would I just ping moderators
Or is that a modmail thing

[ornate saffron]

I just report them to discord, so the accounts can be disabled. Usually the mods clean up the images when they see them.

[calm monolith]

A church map.

[astral coyote]

It wouldn't really affect gameplay but being able to customize our home base or truck would be kind of fun.
Like the color if the walls or the outside of the truck.

[potent onyx]

I think a ghost that had a special ability to "possess" one of the players at some point during the game would be really cool. Make it so that, instead of a physical room being the favorite, the player is designated as the favorite, and the ghost orbs, EMF, and cold only appear around them. Essentially, all the detection gear only works when that player is around it, and when it starts hunting, it leaves that person and won't hunt them until they are the last person in multiplayer or have a 3-second freeze point in single player. It eventually makes players paranoid of each other. Just a sugestion.

[urban dome]

there are 8 ghost remaining that the devs could add but nothing much on the ghosts yet

[potent onyx]

Ya I think the one that would make the most sense would be EMF 5, Freezing Temps, and Ghost orbs, as those don't require the ghost to interact with the environment and can be anchored to one person, and as a single player, can be seen as they go through the map.

[urban dome]

that is just a banshee which targest 1 person

[ornate mulch]

An ambience of each location?

[tall egret]

#screenshots would be a better place for this

[wooden smelt]

Fairground/Carnival map:
Haunted concession booths
Haunted game booths
Haunted ROLLER COASTER YOU CAN WALK UP LIKE YOU DO IN POINT HOPE-

[random sierra]

agreed, this can also affect people with autism who have speech comprehesion issues meaning the ability to turn off certain atmospheric sounds.... for example the fuzzy/staticy sound that is on certain maps during the easter event makes it really haard to hear my team mates on those maps, and rain is a little rough though not bat if your outside...... i just simply cant seperate the sounds.

[tepid fjord]

Maybe something like subtitles the way minecraft does it would help too

[astral bone]

rework media again, the media rework was interesting but its so useless and tedious now, only 3 deletes allowed to get 13 unique pieces of media which even for a team of 3 people takes way too much work to get for little reward

lower the amount of videos we need to take, give us more delete slots (or just let us delete as much media as we want)

also would love to be able to play the original reworked maps
I like the new tanglewood and farmhouses but the new tanglewood is completely different than og tanglewood
I miss the simplistic, modern design with blue and grey walls instead of the 90s beige,
I want to be able to play both

[latent python]

idk how far is this from a reality but what about being able to play phasmo on your own house, with the vr, if somehow possible it would be just insane, prob impossible tho

[narrow imp]

Good ghost idea I think:
Tenome. It comes from Japanese folklore, and its a ghost that can blind you. What I mean is, during a hunt, while the Tenome is within 10 meters of you, your vision is greatly darkened until it is out of that range, but as a drawback, it slows down to 1.3 meters per second while its in range of blinding you. The Tenome can only be a male ghost.

[severe grail]

Sounds interesting. We should also get ghosts from cultures Phasmophobia has not referenced yet. There’s the Gwisin from Korea, the Wenliang, Yaoguai, and the Mogwai from China, the Wendigo from Algonquian folklore in the United States and Canada, and the Mokoi from aboriginal folklore in Australia.

[outer wolf]

Phas should increase the party size to six people or five

[severe grail]

Hey, here’s an interesting ghost I just found out about: the Pu Som Fao Sap from Thai folklore. This ghost resembles a respectable elderly man and its purpose is to guard treasures. Maybe its behavior could include slow speeds but increased aggression in its hiding spot or around certain objects. Perhaps it could affect random objects in its proximity and whoever held the object last either gets targeted during a hunt similar to a Banshee or has their sanity drained faster the longer they hold it. Since the ghost resembles an old man, the ghost can only be male.

[narrow imp]

The mokoi sounds like a direct combination of moroi and yokai

[naive ravine]

Could tie it into cursed objects perhaps?

[severe grail]

Maybe. From what I read, Mokoi tend to kill sorcerers who use black magic. The Yolŋu People in particular believed Mokoi would bring disease or cause fatal accidents

Sorry, replied to the wrong user. I don’t think the Pu Som Fao Sap should be tied to cursed objects. I think it should be tied to a random object in its vicinity, whether it be a book, a flower pot, a mug, a ball, or even anything from the antiques room in Bleasedale just to name a few. But maybe Mokois could be tied to cursed objects

I think the Mokoi could function similarly to the Banshee and the Pu Som Fao Sap. But instead of targeting a random player like a Banshee or targeting whoever last held a Pu Som Fao Sap’s treasured object, it would target whoever set off the cursed hunt or whoever last held the cursed object

[jade slate]

A dope map would be a museum, could be a new large one, I just want a room with a dino that the ghost can mess with. Maybe an Easter egg

[chrome orchid]

A game mode that allows players to customize everything, like what room the ghost will be in, what rooms it can choose to move to, what ghost type it will be, along with all the challenge mode customizations. You can choose the map, weather, cursed objects, etc. Of course, achievements disabled and money turned off. Purely for testing and having fun. oh and ghost model and sounds as well, and equipment tier, and how many/what evidences can be given

[blissful widget]

So like a test mode?

[chrome orchid]

exactly, for science indulgers

[final topaz]

Maybe just more options for the custom mode

[gleaming geode]

it would be nice if there was a sobol - 👻 Sobol
Description:
Sobol is a cunning and observant ghost that enjoys misleading investigators. It often watches its victims and manipulates evidence before deciding to attack.
Strength:
Can fake one type of evidence (e.g., temporary D.O.T.S or fingerprints that quickly disappear)
Slightly faster than normal ghosts during hunts, especially when a player is alone
Can interfere with equipment (flashlights, EMF readers) to confuse investigators
Weakness:
Becomes less active when multiple players are nearby
Fake evidence appears only briefly — attentive players can spot the difference
Rarely changes its favorite room
Behavior:
Often gives contradictory signs (e.g., EMF activity without other evidence)
Likes to play with lights and doors
Can briefly mimic another ghost’s activity
Evidence:
Ultraviolet
D.O.T.S Projector
EMF Level 5

[rain mirage]

What if they made a large or an extra large multi team map (8-16 players) , set in a cul-de-sac, where you can enter 5-12 houses. So a similar room count to sunny meadows or the prison

Either each team of 4 has their own truck or they all arrive on one big bus

Multiple houses are haunted, it informs you how many but doesnt say which ones, and you have to determine which ones are, and then you have to determine what type of ghost is in each house. each houses ghost correctly identified increases the xp/cash multiplier by +1x

Blood moon map weather spawns a giant summoning circle in the middle of the cul-de-sac round. When lit, it summons multiple ghosts that hunt 20-30% of the players for 90 seconds-120 seconds, unless they are on the bus/trucks

[sharp crater]

Here’s a fun fact: on the outside of SM, there’s a second floor. So it’d be cool if SM got a third floor for bigger lobbies

[eternal dome]

Make an achievement for taking a successful DOTS photo of a Goryo (yes, it is possible)

[storm plinth]

So my other half has had a thought about making jumpscares through the camera like if you were to sit on the camera in the van for too long, the ghost would jump at the camera and knock it down?

[twin drift]

Instead of normal motion sensors, they should make it so the motion sensors are music boxes, like they play creepy songs when motion is sensed.

[eternal dome]

Phasmo needs to add TTS to the game, like REPO. The text will register as sound for the ghost and other objects that require sounds to function

[prime coral]

Adding a cart you can push to the door that hold your tools, find it very annoying in Insanity runs to keep going back to the truck.

[brittle hatch]

Hi, could you please add keyboard and mouse support for consoles? It would be much more convenient for looping! 🙏🏻😁

[fresh bridge]

They are working on it

[brittle hatch]

I've actually seen more information indicating that this isn't possible. Do I need an adapter?

[fresh bridge]

I just know the Trello board shows they are developing KBM support for consoles.

Ghost Idea: Siren

As I explain this ghost, it may sound a bit like a Banshee, I’ve tried making it unique but if you have any suggestions as to how to make it less like a Banshee, please give a suggestion

Hunt Sanity: 50% default, 70% ability
Hunt Speed: anywhere between 1.2 to 2.2m/s
Does NOT have LoS speed buildup
Female ghost model only

The Siren has two abilities: “the siren’s song” and “water being”

The siren’s Song

Sirens can only do singing or mist form events. If a player goes within 2m of a Siren while it does a singing event, it triggers the song ability. In short, this drains sanity from the player, and can instantly start a hunt if the group sanity is 70% or lower.

Water Being

Rooms with a water source are considered water rooms, regardless of the state of the water source. The farther a Siren is from a water room, the slower they are - up to 2.2m/s if in a water room, or as slow as 1.2m/s if 6 or more rooms from a water room.

Edit: 6 or more meters from a water room, for water being ability. Not 6 rooms. That would make it very fast in house maps.

[haughty spindle]

ngl this would be goated

[undone bolt]

Wow... Banshee? Song? Banshee?
Rooms with a water source? Ok.
6 Tanglewood Drive. Main Bathroom +2m radius, EnSuite +2m radius, Garage +2m radius, Kitchen +2m raduis & Basement...
So... where is the Siren will be slow? Only in the Living room and a half of Foyer

Do you really need more ghost types? Maybee more maps or the utility to add custom maps?

[inner maple]

Add like where we can ask the ghost whatever we want

[sharp crater]

More ghost types is just fun to think about

For being fast in a lot of Tanglewood, this would probably be a similar problem to the other house maps, perhaps the range of which the Siren can be fast near a water room is dependant on the map. So in house maps, it’s a really small range, and in large maps, it’s really big.

[raw jetty]

Secret achievement obtainable by completing the training 50 times

[obtuse whale]

If the new update adds headbop. Than an option to toggle that would be nice

[wicked hound]

I feel like dead friends in the game should be able to talk to alive ones through the spirit box and i just came up with a way to even it out make it so it would only work when your in the truck so people won't mistake it for ghost evidence

[prime knot]

i would love to have access to the old versions of maps. if not in the current version, then in an older version of the game that we can be given access to.

[vocal salmon]

NEW GHOST CONCEPT
Llorona (Mexican Folklore)

Since the devs have recently added ghosts based on real-world folklore, I wanted to suggest one based on the Mexican legend of La Llorona

DESCRIPTION:
La Llorona is a highly aggressive ghost tied to water. When near water sources, she becomes significantly more active and dangerous. She is also known to manipulate the audio perception of her victims.

This ghost only appears as a female model, consistent with its folklore.

🔎 EVIDENCE

• Spirit Box (Forced Evidence)
• D.O.T.S Projector
• Ghost Writing

STRENGTH:
Water Empowerment
When near active water sources (running sinks, showers, bathtubs, or map water):
Greatly increases activity and paranormal event frequency

Mini Special Interaction: Can interact with two water sources at once
Effects apply within 5.5 meters (double interaction restricted to water sources)

WEAKNESS:
When no active water is nearby, she becomes significantly less active & aggressive.

Hunt Behavior:
No water: 1.7 m/s
Near water: ~3.0 m/s (no LOS scaling)

Hunting thresholds:
Near water → 75% sanity
No water → 40% sanity

Unique Trait: "Audio Manipulation"

4m away → footsteps sound very close of player
<2m away → footsteps sound far away from the player

** ↑↑↑ Explanation (Lore & Clarity):**
According to the legend, La Llorona’s cries can mislead victims—if you hear her close, she is far, and if you hear her far, she is near. This mechanic reflects that behavior, making her hunts disorienting.
This effect is consistent and learnable.

Extra Behavior:
Much more likely to interact with water sources like sinks, bathtubs, showers etc.

Special Spirit Box Interaction:
Small chance (1/25) on Spirit Box to hear a distinctive wailing cry instead of normal responses

[wild plank]

let dead people talk through the spirit box

[sharp crater]

3.0m/s seems too high but otherwise I like this idea

I’ve seen a lot of water ghost recommendations, myself included, the devs really need to add one

[inner maple]

If you prestige maybe add a small multiplier

[sharp crater]

Here me out: the seven deadly sins as ghosts

Sloth = slow and inactive, can slow down players

Wrath = hunts sooner and is faster but has a longer hunt cooldown

Pride = slow in natural hunts, fast in cursed hunts or hunts that happen after a crucifix is burned (likes hunting when it wants to, hates being controlled or forced)

Lust = reverse Banshee, likes one player and hunts the other players

Envy = the Mimic of the deadly sins, it can mimic the other six sins

Greed = has a chance to ignore cursed objects and their abilities

Gluttony = very slow, but hunts when players use equipment in the ghost room

[calm monolith]

Tribute to the Original Lobby.
Maybe as a room inside a house or location as a subtle callback.

[grave mason]

The ability to choose lower Thropy tiers in your lobby incase you like a lower tier design you can switch to it and have more customization variety for the lobby

[gritty kiln]

please add phasmophobia to the meta quest 3

[rich summit]

can you add the endless questions back? but make it so the players have to look at the oujia board or activate the spirit box and say smth like "Ghost, do you want to play a game?" or whatever random question you may have

[rain mirage]

Scooby doo gang clothing for character customization needs to be a thing

[glossy shell]

A funeral home map cus nothing screams creepier than a abandoned funeral home

[quiet schooner]

Maybe a lobby cat named Ghost and fur color is white with yellow eyes

[limber heart]

Haunted theatre or mall map

[obtuse whale]

A ghost that's invisible until it gets close to you. Make it faster than the average ghost

[icy rose]

Can you guys add the Chernobyl nuclear power plant to the game as a map it would go viral since it’s 40 now and than the game can be way more fun

[severe grail]

Wow, did you make that? It looks so official

[fresh bridge]

Sorry. We don’t permit use of AI on the server for any artistic creations.

[obtuse whale]

Replace the bone mechanic with an object of significance. Like something the ghost held dear to them before they died. Maybe it's a book, or a piece of jewelry, or something werid like a hammer. It'd be randomized each game and in my opinion would make a lot more sense than just finding a spine in the bathroom

[severe grail]

Is this some kind of new scam or something?

[sharp crater]

Haven’t seen that one yet. Reported

[severe grail]

Yeah, that’s a new one for me

[sharp crater]

Ghost Idea: Specter

Credits for the idea go to @obtuse whale .

Hunt Sanity: 50%
Hunt Speed: 1.0m/s
LoS Speed Buildup: Yes

STRENGTHS

• Silent beyond 10m during a hunt
• Invisible beyond 6m during a hunt. Difficult to see beyond 4m.
  WEAKNESSES
• Slow
• Very visible within 4m, even more than an Oni. Makes it easier to take up-close photos.

[minor summit]

Not sure if I've said this b4 but
Can we allow UI mods, just for something fun to do and it doesn't alter the game, just makes it look pretty for some people
and mods that add update decor back just for the user
May as well just allow only client mods because server mods would be more the "cheating" ones, client would just be UI, decorations, avatars, etc that only the user sees

[vapid nest]

Could we get more scary events from the ghosts? Like scripted events that trigger randomly.

For example, you’re walking down a hall and at the end of it a ghost bolts from one room to the other giving you a jumpscare without any loud and scary noises.

Or you walk up to a door that’s cracked open and when you go to pull it open the ghost grabs it from the other side and you see it’s face before it slams the door shut.

A really rare event where the ghost will violently grab someone by the legs and drag them to its favorite room and any door it drags you through slams shut.

An event where the entity will peer at you from behind a wall or doorway.

Just something to make missions a bit more creepy.

[north delta]

Hunt does this with their prestige system. Either an XP multiplier, Extra 2000 bucks starting or on significant levels a premium skin (lower $$ amount)

[west tinsel]

Using 1 of the new screenshots for this one. My suggestion is not to have the off hand not take up so much screen space. This screenshot shows how much of the view is now blocked by the player holding a flashlight and a video cam. Now image them both being T3 they are larger. There is still time to make this tiny change. Just move the off hand more to the left. You will still be able to see the watch and flashlight but still be able to see your surroundings.

[restive vessel]

A new ghost that is completely blind but it’s has great hearing and it’s move speed is faster than a deogen and jinn
Example
If you drop something upstairs and the ghost is down stairs it runs full speed to the noise it can hear a whisper a flashlight click a door opening/closing drop objects
I feel like this would be a cool ghost

[dawn granite]

A flir? (Forward Looking Infrared) I think its be pretty cool to have a chance to see ghosts on a flir

[glossy shell]

idea: in game text or something for the dead players to have a say. BECAUSE playing the drop 2 for yes and 1 for no game with objects ISNT ideal

[summer cedar]

kormos would be a fire name for that ngl

[burnt grove]

new maps like a haunted hotel or castles. some examples would be... Leap Castle in Ireland or maybe 1886 Crescent Hotel & Spa (Arkansas). to name a few. i have thought alot about these and think maybe something inspired by them or even [La Isla de las Muñecas, Mexico]: Located in Teshuilo Lake, this island is covered in dolls intended to appease the spirit of a drowned girl. this would be amazing for ghost interactions. the stuff of nightmares if you ask me. lol

[novel stratus]

Thats a great idea

[solemn musk]

ohh a sugestion channel, iv been waiting to share this idea, it may need some tweaks to actually work, but i feel this would be a fun idea, i like the idea of this for a forced ghost writing ghost.
a doppelganger ghost, either copies the look of another player, or has fake evidence or both, but 2 of its evidence are locked in as real evidence, perhaps using the evidence of ghost writing, dots and em5, and the writing could be the evidence that changes randomly. i feel this could be a fun addition.

strengths: due to this ability being a form in illusion only the eyes can see the player state so on video camera this will appear as a regular ghost,

weakness: if photo graphed there's a small chance of a random in lobby player model appearing instead.

forced evidence: ghost writing

extra mechanics, once the door is open you have a set time to try get ghost writing before it replaces this with a "fake" evidence, if the ghost writes in the book then you have a small time before it boots the book and removes the writing inside, and changes to a random "fake" evidence,

during hunts: there is a random chance for the ghost to take the form of a player in the lobby and get a speed boost while in player state.

[sharp crater]

Oooooo ghost writing ability
I’d love a ghost like this, especially with the ghost writing thing cuz none of the current ghosts have any abilities related to ghost writing.

[solemn musk]

yeah i feel it could be fun, but hard to implement possibly. and yeah i just had this idea ages ago, so im glad we have a space for them now.

[dense helm]

Like a new cursed object that can be used to communicate with them

[solemn sparrow]

Hear me out, old maps should also be accessible, like old tanglewood

[ancient wraith]

It would be cool for the sink full of blood to end up being a hallucination to where it starts flowing out of the sink and onto the floor for a few seconds

[stable hare]

Outside the game suggestion- i feel like badges that have previously been shown should cycle through again, so people that missed them the first time can get it (and gives streamers more views etc while streaming phasmo on quiet days)

[west tinsel]

This sounds like a good idea if you have aggressive types of ghosts like demon / Oni / Yung Thaye / enraged Obambo / enraged Gallu etc.

[sharp crater]

Ooooo, like a new trait within ghosts
An aggression trait
Some ghosts could consistently have it throughout the game - like Demon
Some ghost would be circumstantial, like enraged Gallu or Obambo

Edit:
This could also make Spirit more interesting, cuz in the journal, they’re supposed to be territorial, but in-game they have no such ability. So maybe they have a high aggression meter when a player is in the ghost room.

Dayans could be very calm when players are still, and have high aggression when players are moving.

Calmer ghosts like Goryos and Shades would have a 0 aggression meter

[final topaz]

“The fetch” irish doppelganger

[solemn musk]

ohh that could work, i like it.

ohh another thing id love to be able to do is have a load out with different tiers of gear, like let me bring tier 2 and 3 glow stick and head gear, with out the need of having a second person to do this.

[heavy crag]

Suggestion:
Add cross platform progression.

Not much that needs to be explained here. However, it's a bit discouraging to spend hundreds of hours playing the game. Getting all of the event cards. Getting your prestige really high... And then switch platforms and it's all gone.

I personally am making the move to PC from console. And the fact I'd have to spend several hundred hours getting back up to the prestige I was is just demotivating to think about. Again, + the event cards and other rewards. Or even having to redo apoc 3.

It just sucks having so much effort become useless just because you upgraded devices.

[loud stream]

A mode that activates a mode where you can access the old maps but x0 rewards

[glossy shell]

Or dead players being able to use the curse objects when dead or the items when dead like the spirit box to talk or the oujiia (Luigi) board. Not sure how you could make that work with the other ones.

[lament pine]

• Building block set for the lobby.
• Interactable trophy cases and items

[peak iron]

counter in statistics that show how many weekly and daily chellenges did you done would be nice

[lament pine]

Plus how many of each ghost you've caught and other fun stats

[proper epoch]

New Map and Themed Cosmetic Release! Would love to see a graveyard with an underground catacomb and a small Mausoleum area separate from the graveyard as well as matching outfits that you can purchase because I'd be buying it, I want a Priest Cosmetic with items that match the outfits that you can sport! We need some kind of exorcism update where players get possessed by The Ghost and the other players have to either perform an exorcism or a seance. This would bring such a great theme to this game! Hope you see my suggestion I've been posting it everywhere in hopes that you see it

[white onyx]

Every April 1st the van model is the Mystery Machine.

[gusty vortex]

Weekly: Every Ghost gives one random evidence additionally 😄

[stiff kindle]

i also said this a while ago, i thought: what if you could use the summoning circle to summon a dead player (for the same time as when u summon a ghost) you can talk to dead players through spirit box and ouija board, and u can see an dead player's POV through the mirror thingy (and some other things but i forgot lol)

[sweet seal]

Add an pendelum to phasmophobia to talk with ghosts it could be something like an ouja board if no you can add a pendelum as a cosmetic maybe attached to your belt or in your pocket sticking out

[wicked crow]

The position you see other players holding a torch in feels unatrual (particurly for tear 3)

Natrually you wouldn't hold a torch so far from your torso (particurly for tear 3), it would usally be beside you (such as image shown), espeshally because holding your arm out infront of you is tiring irl. Perhaps only holding it out when your on the touch slot to show that's the item the player is currently "holding". (would also mean in your veiw you would only see it when holding the torch, making it more clear when your on your torch, or empty slot <3 )

[glossy shell]

dead players being able to use the other objects (It would be a funny troll to see the book going flying out of the house and it wasn't the ghost doing it) or that dead players can take items from the truck

[vague lark]

when the new update comes out add a setting to disable the new arm animations from your pov if you dont want them

[full compass]

I have a idea for a ghost type called the ghoul I was thinking it would be a hyper aggressive ghost that targets the lowest sanity player in the map/house
I was thinking another feature/ identifier for the ghost would be it ghost events more frequently if the lowest sanity player is in the ghost room

[dull sand]

So, I just had an interesting thought that I know will never happen, but considering Phasmo has ghosts, cursed items, other evil things, etc. it would make a little sense that after doing certain achievements, events, prestige, etc. players could gain small magic abilities and perks and chose to equip 1 of each at a time.

Like maybe one perk could be a +0.2 walk speed, or a perk that adds 1 second to the grace period. Maybe an ability that shows a smoke trail leading toward the ghost for a few seconds, an ability that lets you see in the dark for a few seconds, or a ghost freeze ability that can only be used 1 time per map that works like a 3 second free smudge but then the ghost deogens the user, etc. Things that wouldn't break the game per se, but tweak it to different play styles.

[viral nebula]

For the new update the prestige beyond 20 feel purposeless, and a cosmetic at 50 or 100 or even 500 to create an unofficial end would be nice. Rn there isn't any motivation for the already tiny minority at p20 to prestige for any reason beyond claiming highest level for a moment of time. Especially since our xp beyond p20 level 100 doesn't transfer into prestiges

[rancid tartan]

Just release the update with the character customization and don't release the new animations. Respectfully, the animations are clearly unfinished or not polished yet. Releasing just the customization itself will almost satisfy the whole playerbase. Let the animations still bake in the oven until they are finished rather than being released just because of the Alan Wake event

[dire flicker]

I saw someone else also post this but I definitely agree on putting the flashlight (ANY tier - its quite annoying with the tier 3) so the player holds it like this closer to their shoulder instead of breaking their wrist (the watch would also be a lot clearer no?)

[molten pendant]

most people would use it to annoy people and ruin the game..

[gilded stag]

What about a mode where a player is picked as the ghost

[obtuse whale]

Adding more sound effects and music to the game would be cool.

[glossy shell]

Yes but that’s what usually happens. It’s all fun in the end of the day

[ashen ocean]

I want to buy old titwh badges with money, I hate having to look at them being locked now...

[fresh bridge]

#screenshots

[gusty quartz]

Maybe fix the bald patches/same face syndrome

[torn yew]

Can we have an option to turn animations off and still play the old style way?

[dense helm]

I have a good suggestion. Unrelease the update

[solemn scaffold]

yes please

[mellow hawk]

colors are diffrent for people now? suggestion from me is keep it how it was so people dont fight over who is what colors in the sanity lol

[summer steppe]

Make there be legacy presets so people can play the old models

[severe grail]

Yeesh, they really are bad

[bright tide]

please DONT patch this lmao its so beautiful

[feral osprey]

I don't know if this has been suggested already, but what if the yurei could open all the and cupboards in a proximity of what door it interacts from, like a polty bomb or something, but it'd be a rare ability, probably not a great idea because it would be map dependent, and sounds kinda complicated, but was a random thought I had i wanted to share

[sharp crater]

Revert last update and work on it until it’s actually ready to be released

[remote latch]

The ability to remove your jacket

[pure forge]

6 person Lobbies

[rigid gust]

A new item: A portable cassette tape player that plays music at low - mid - high volumes, counts as a electronic, and reacts to ghost events / hunts like the flashlight. Cassette tapes can be previewed in the store, cost roughly $15,000 - $200,000 per, maybe even some as Twitch drops / Special Event drops, Prestige rewards, and other ways and allow music favorites like "Adrift" original, "Adrift" remix, "The Ghost of You" and more. That way we can bring the music when we're out and about at the different locations.

[full stirrup]

Add decent hair for the women. It’s crazy that most of the men have a full head of hair while the girls look like they have a strand per inch on their scalp. Or add more hats and just more feminine clothing in general. Also it’s clear you guys just reused the same face for some characters and just changed the bone structure, that is crazy, at that point just add two different people with skin color changes and hair type changes instead of locked one person characters. I am not sure how big the team for Phasmophobia is, so I understand if the makers of the game are over worked right now and it is VERY VERY clear you rushed this. Thank you guys for your game. I’d rather quality over quickness.(Edit: Just played a game and the clunkiness of trying to switch items just got me killed in a hunt. When you open your journal it puts the item you already have in your hand away. The opening of the journal is too slow and so is switching items, I had an audio bug with my heavy breathing after sprinting in the game making the audio jump back and forth through my left and right head phones which was disorienting and irritating, the sound recorder turned on a flashlight when I had no flashlight in my inventory as-well. I was with my friend and she also experienced the “clunkiness”. I don’t see myself playing this as often as I have been. I was hopeful the people who were saying this game shot itself in the foot were lying, but to my disappointment they were not like the person said a few messages ago. Revert the update and take your time. Please.)

[spice moat]

It's cool to have unlocks for each prestige but you shouldn't have to buy it after unlocking it

[twilit palm]

So I play through the game, unlock prestige two and I have to PAY Money (In-game money) to buy the shirt I EARNED. Thats crap. Absolute crap.

Not to mention the fact that now everything takes longer to do, the animations for grabbing shit, putting shit down, are all ten times longer, I get wanting to make it more realistic but this is just annoying, not to mention that with out the tripod you cant see where your placing the camera and half the time it wont let you place it, and then when you do have the tripod its so far away its not able to be seen for ghost orbs... just overall rushed and not worth the release. Very underwhelming and disappointed.

[tiny kindle]

New character models are fine and im sure they will get a ton of additional items but can we have an option to play on old animations for the hand/wwithout the long animations between things

[burnt python]

Love the new update!! However, why does the Firelight lantern thing keep switching off irrespective of how you pick it up? 🙃

[remote latch]

Please keep the excessive ragdoll, it's so funny 😆

[steel lion]

Let me change the journal size back please. I am older and my eyes are not great. I understand this is more immersive but you shrunk the menu, now it is harder to see.

[timber oasis]

Honestly, not a fan of the new look of how we hold items. Not only does it just feel generally uncomfortable (who the heck holds a flashlight like that), making everything smaller due to it isn't great. (and other people have mentioned that it slows things down)

Maybe i'm stubborn and just don't like change, but that aspect i'm not a fan of.

[silk girder]

Here's an idea... Add a character that's brown, not just white, black or Asian. I applaud that you at least added an Asian character model. But what about Latino, Pacific islander, Biracial, Etc?

[jade iris]

So why are we here?

[ivory knoll]

screaming crying and begging the devs to make some of the characters eyebrows darker so they look less busted (among everyone else's suggestions)

[steel hamlet]

Hello everybody! Please bring back the old animations with the new models. I was really looking foward to see the update but disappointed. The kinesiology is buggy with unatural physics.

[full stirrup]

To vent apparently. I thought this was the official discord. 💔

[runic spoke]

Please please please make the hairs compatible with all of the player models 🥹 if you aren't gonna add more hairs

[grave jay]

This update was not ready to be released at all. Also the delay bc of the animations for equipment is ridiculous.. you get killed more bc you’re struggling for so long just trying to switch to your smudge.

[stark ridge]

bring back the old characters as options too -- even if we cant customize

[grave jay]

It’s unplayable. I tried giving it the benefit of the doubt & honestly.. I can’t do it lmao I’m prob done playing phas till this wack of an update is gone or fixed. It’s sad it took them THIS long just for this to be the update smh. Disappointed

[full stirrup]

Genuinely playing the game after being used to the fast pace structure of it before hand is like trying to run with two broken legs, in quicksand.

[solid olive]

Don't let people join discord day of update

[undone ginkgo]

Please add androgynous avatars or let us change our haircut, faceshape, ect.

[somber pewter]

"character customisation" > proceed to give you standard characters and standard customization based on the model and not free customization like intended IN EVERY SINGLE GAME

[hallow plover]

I’m sorry if this has already been asked, is anyone else’s equipment really small? My thermometer (tier 2) is so small I can’t even read the screen hardly 😆

[inland wigeon]

WOW THIS SHT IS BUGGY AND UGLY

[tame magnet]

Add a legacy option? To let players who prefer how it was before the update play it still

[manic blaze]

Console is crashing every game. Ive been trying to play for 2 hours. I was able to finish 1 out of 10. Roll back the update until its fully play tested. This is the saddest thing I've ever experienced

[oak epoch]

in addition to the new characters, i think the legacy characters would be a good addition remodelled to fit the new models

[tough crypt]

oh god no 😭

[fluid swift]

undo this garbage please

[meager spire]

The games so awful now I can't see anything the book the emf so far away everything is lagging bad talking is wierd and broken how did yall mess up one of the best games ever its dawg ass now😭😭💔💔 I was also told we were getting new and better characters how did they get worse 😭😭 there so ugly with no good outfits and there over priced i can't afford a 10k t-shirt wtffff 😭😭

[lost schooner]

undo update

[inland oxide]

The new hand poses and animations desperately need to be scaled to fit all FOVs, playing on anything other than the minimum of 70 feels gross

[ornate saffron]

Kinetic needs to start listening to player feedback. Every update in the past year or two has gone towards tedium, padding for time, and visual fidelity. But it seems no one stopped to think "is this actually fun". The game isn't a challenge, it's a chore to play. Putting fancy visuals over that won't change anything. In the course of two years everything got worse. People didn't stop playing this game because they spent hundreds of hours on it. They stopped because the direction of development is actively pushing them away.

[ornate cosmos]

I suppose it couldn't hurt to ask anyway. Is there any possibility we could get a seperate keybind for looking at the watch? Having to move to an empty hand to take a better look is difficult to tell with this new update. With the possibility of having it on a seperate keybind, it could potentially be enabled to look at while something is in the right hand, even if you have to have no flashlight to do so.

[remote latch]

Female clothing options would be nice.

[mellow hawk]

Suggestion Anomoly Minigame with tanglewood 😄

[proven thorn]

I suggest the addition of Splunktob a ghost that leaves behind pineapple slices

[bold sable]

piasmophbia

[proven thorn]

Not AI btw I hand painted that using stones

[bold sable]

didn't say it was ai but looks nice
too bad devs won't ever see any of the ideas here (it's writen in the description of the chanel they'll ignore it/never read anything here)

[minor summit]

Make the items bigger again, people with vision or reading issues cant see 😭

[proven thorn]

then why have it 😭

[bold sable]

idk why they made fan-suggestions if devs literally won't ever check it (check the channel description)

[opaque siren]

I don’t like this update so glitchy and buggy, animations add so much time to use and place tools, I was so excited for this and also I’m blind and the journal is impossible to read😭

[cold hazel]

Please please bring back the guys voice when you start the game in the lobby that says Welcome Back I have some jobs for you 🙏 . I don't know if that was intentional to remove it but I absolutely loved hearing him every time I started up Phasmo.

[tame scarab]

yo we need cross platform progression 🙏

[lean shoal]

revert to legacy

[ancient loom]

Console crash since the new update

[marble totem]

Map editor
I think it would be cool if we could get a map editor. When you play a map using the editor you will not get any xp or money but you also do not use up your money or gear. The things you can make maps with are, primitives or in other words cubes, quads, planes, sphere, cylinder you would be able to apple textures to these. There would also be props you can build with like tables, desks and benches and other props you can find in maps. You can define all the different rooms, you can add the spawn point for the players, spawn points for the cursed items and bones.

[torpid pewter]

i think linking your accounts together and whenever the 2 accounts want to play at the same time he gets kicked because i have 2 accounts and i would like to link my accounts because i have a steam and a ps5 account

[remote latch]

I've gotta ask, what is this channel's true purpose aside from vindication? The devs don't see these suggestions and it feels like an echo chamber.

[severe grail]

Once all the issues in regard to the recent update are fixed, I would love black and white suits and ties and sunglasses that make your characters resemble government agents. I would also love trench coats and fedoras for a noir private investigator look and a tactical police-like outfit

[viscid vale]

Toggle voice mic icon back on the screen again

[acoustic gate]

I think it's to stop people from dropping new ghost ideas in #fan-creations

[urban copper]

Can the arm patch for Prestige and the early access patch appear on all jackets?

[polar maple]

I would love that if sunglasses are added they actually tinted your screen, with a toggle to disable that of course
Could make for a fun gameplay modifier

[glossy shell]

The FOV option cus I need glasses inside of my glasses in order to read the book

[spice moat]

I don't know where to send bug reports so I'll just post here but the Astromoner badge is barely visible.

[bold sable]

#bug-reports
(fan suggestion is the worst place you could have send it) [devs literally ignore it and even it is writen on channel description about that they won't see or read anything here)

[surreal mural]

It would be cool if there was an option to play using the og character models I miss them so much🙏

[tepid fjord]

Wait they removed him? I didn’t even notice I’m lov him 😭

[slender rose]

How'd you get old school Markiplier in your game? Lol!

[spice moat]

Bruh I thought he looked like Donald Mustard

[cold hazel]

Yes they did when you start the game. I reloaded my game twice and he wasn't there to greet me 😢.

[winter zealot]

It's time for phasmo to stop having a 16mm player camera lens, too much distortion, and PLEASE hire actual 3D animators, this game has potential to look amazing 😭

[lavish hamlet]

Give an option to turn off new animations

[snow cairn]

They should fix this... the arm looks like it's floating inside the jacket sleeve.

[past summit]

why do glassess cost money!?!? they're not a fasion accessory, they're basically the only normalised accessibility aid

[tulip holly]

Delete the update and sell the game

Yeah, sure buddy

[unkempt canyon]

undo the update, fix all of the issues players are having, and roll it back out when it’s actually playable please

[winged cairn]

Bring back cursed animations! i.e. crouching & breaking ur back

[lusty vessel]

there is only a black male and female character in the game, could we also get a brown character/ Hispanic/latino character?

[timber apex]

There should be much more customization considering this is a million dollar game. Not being able to choose hair styles, eye color, skin color, etc. is pretty stupid, and making shirts you earn by prestiging cost money is pretty dumb too. This customization update feels like something that was thrown together in a few days.
