[wintry canyon]

its 100% their game and they can do whatever they want with it lol

[solar helm]

[fickle meteor]

not one soul referred or inferred the devs into being more than human

[supple tiger]

[fickle meteor]

but me? im a vampire

[solar helm]

Tbh it's really weird of them

[fickle meteor]

how would it be weird

[solar helm]

No one knows better than Kinetic Games

[fickle meteor]

ok

[solar helm]

[solemn stream]

still having issues?

[wintry canyon]

i mean if you dont like what they add or remove, you can always make your own game lol

[dapper coral]

Yes

[fickle meteor]

no!

[solar helm]

Because that's what I would prefer in this situation then

[solar helm]

Ok

[hollow quail]

Does anyone have an idea if there’s are any plans to add more players to a game? I would looove to see a 6p update

[solar helm]

Sorry then

[solemn stream]

go to game settings, make sure cursor size is decent and default and highlight opacity is all the way up

[solemn stream]

no, they won't

[dapper coral]

I did

[dapper granite]

I just got my 3 bloodmoon on Nell,s dinner

[solemn stream]

restart your game

[fickle meteor]

i dont think they will they would have to rebalance the game a lil bit 😔

[wintry canyon]

i dout it. the game barley functions with 4 people. not physically, just gets more difficult to play with more players.

cant imagine the game being fun with 6 players.

[dapper coral]

Ok I’m doing it again but I’ve done that too lol I submitted a bug ticket cus it’s just not letting my cursor work lol

[solemn stream]

Has anyone notice thr oujia board isn't moving but still draining sanity and setting emf off

[supple tiger]

[south pike]

It not just in the diner and its not just numbered answers

[odd vale]

No

[jovial seal]

Yoo guys

Will player character overhall and Tanglewood rework will launch this year?

[fickle meteor]

-trello

[prime elk]

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.

[jovial seal]

Player character and tw rework is not even on testing lol

[solemn stream]

character customisation, yes. tangle, no

[jovial seal]

And there are two months remaining in the year

[jovial seal]

They confirmed Tanglewood to come this year to but its november and nothing yet

[wintry canyon]

id be surprised if they even get a major bug fix patch out by the end of the year.

[supple tiger]

Things get delayed its normal

[solemn stream]

they did not confirm tangle for this year

[jovial seal]

They did

[solemn stream]

they confirmed tangle for 2026

[wintry canyon]

i feel like nells diner is the last map we will get this year, unless they do like a christmas tanglewood rework, but i doubt it

[solemn stream]

they did not

[jovial seal]

I will proof you

[wintry canyon]

it feeeeels like they are releasing a map every 3 months at this point

[jovial seal]

Check dms coz i cant send screenshots here

[amber nexus]

i want the character customization patch to come out lol

[solemn stream]

i will not check dms

[supple tiger]

Frfr

[solemn stream]

do not dm me

[wintry canyon]

they are moving away from Unity assets, right?

[jovial seal]

How do i proof you they confirmed then lol

[solemn stream]

if your "proof" is the roadmap, then check out the lovely writing at the bottom that says "releasing 2026 or as soon as they're ready"

[jovial seal]

Tw rework will be like bleasdale and grafton rework

[jovial seal]

The house maps reworks are the other ones than Tanglewood

[wintry canyon]

i was under the impression that tanglewood is getting the least drastic rework due to its popularity

[prisma palm]

according to the trello site thats correct

its listed as a minor update

[solemn stream]

tanglewood and all other house maps are being reworked in 2026

[prisma palm]

the farmhouse reworks were listed as major

[plush niche]

they just make em dark or something 💔

[wintry canyon]

YO so another thing. are we getting a Motel map at some point?

[jovial seal]

While we’re busy finishing construction on our new location, we’re also starting introducing a series of map reworks to the game. This year, we’ll be releasing updated versions of Bleasdale Farmhouse, Grafton Farmhouse and 6 Tanglewood Drive. The first of which, Bleasdale, will be releasing in March

Roadmap 2025 post

[supple tiger]

This would be epic

[wintry canyon]

There are motel pictures in nells diner on the wall

[solemn stream]

it doesn't look like it at the moment, they are more pushing for horror 2.0 than making new maps

[jovial seal]

Not a miss info btway

They stated like two times that Tanglewood will come this year

As well as player character overhall

[wintry canyon]

i know they dont have plans to make new ghosts, but in a game where the whole objective is to identify a ghost, there could easily be more.

[jovial seal]

Now she went to see the roadmap and see if im right 😂

[amber nexus]

so player character overhaul is coming this year? i hope at least

[jovial seal]

They confirmed in the roadmap yeah

[prisma palm]

and gta 6 was supposed to come out in may 💔

[wintry canyon]

not the first time something has been delayed though

[jovial seal]

As well as Tanglewood drive rework

[wintry canyon]

horror 2.0 was suppose to come out in like 2022 lol

[jovial seal]

Completly different company and game

[wintry canyon]

so i wouldnt fully trust the roadmap

[jovial seal]

That update is gonna be bigger than anything they have launched

Thats why they are delaying it because it will rework every horror aspect of the game

[wintry canyon]

so do we know what horror 2.0 is suppose to actually have?

[jovial seal]

And they delayed it many times to work on other updates to keep the game alive

[solemn stream]

hallucinations, new ghost models and an overhaul to the events and overall mechanics

[tawny smelt]

What does hallucinations entice? Does it say?

[dapper granite]

Is It normal for the counter top to open by its self?

[jovial seal]

So you see my point now about Tanglewood?

[solemn stream]

that's a ghost interaction

[tawny smelt]

Ya it's a door thing I think

[placid charm]

I wish they would allow sprinting more then 2 feet before running out of breath

[modern mauve]

Roadmaps are just that, they're not confirmations that things will DEFINITELY be coming out that year, only what they are PLANNING on releasing this year.

[wintry canyon]

i hope it keeps with the current spirit of the game though. large sweeping changes arnt necessiarly good for a game

[supple tiger]

True

[wintry canyon]

im gonna be mad if they change all the ghosts evidence a second time.

[solemn stream]

roadmaps are "the plan" but it doesn't always happen as they say it will

[modern mauve]

They didn't delay Horror 2.0 for the purpose of working on other stuff, EVERYTHING was delayed due to things like the console release taking as long as it did

[tawny smelt]

Well I just hope they stop using gen AI for the art in new maps. Lost a lot of respect for that one.

[solemn stream]

i have combed through posts and found no definitive post saying tangle would absolutely 100% be reworked in 2025

[modern mauve]

And Horror 2.0 has for the longest time been planned to be the last thing they're gonna do before 1.0 release.

[wintry canyon]

where di dthey use AI art?

[raven drum]

I need horror 2.0, I don't get scared from the ghosts anymore

what will horror 2.0 even add? do we know what it will add?

[tawny smelt]

Here. The guy has 3 thumbs.
#screenshots message

[solemn stream]

they didn't, but some people are questioning the quality of the artwork

[prime elk]

From the roadmap blog "While we’re busy finishing construction on our new location, we’re also starting introducing a series of map reworks to the game. This year, we’ll be releasing updated versions of Bleasdale Farmhouse, Grafton Farmhouse and 6 Tanglewood Drive. The first of which, Bleasdale, will be releasing in March."

[jovial seal]

Sent the exact same thing lol

[solemn stream]

is that the one before christmas last year?

[modern mauve]

No, this year

[wintry canyon]

thats wild they would use AI. i mean use it as an opportunity to do liek a community thing. make a competition and give winners a prize and put their art in the game.

[tawny smelt]

YEAH

[wintry canyon]

hel you dont even need a prize if the winner actually gets their art in the game

its a win win. devs get free art without using AI, and players get to be more included.

[supple tiger]

True

[tawny smelt]

Yeah as long as credit is given (so its easy to find out who made it if youre looking) im all for it!

[supple tiger]

This game getting wayyyy too corpo and its showing laziness more

[solemn stream]

the new year post?

Today, we’re excited to reveal a look at our Roadmap for the year and let you know what we’re working on, when you can expect our first major update and more. Everything we share today is still in development, so things can of course change, but we hope this gives you a good look at what’s in-store for your future investigations.

Any information and images are Work In Progress (WIP) and may change drastically before releasing.

[fair arrow]

question time!!! Doom slayed achievement farm, do you think its better to use voodoo doll 4x and in each time i take the sanity pills that takes me back to 80%?

[modern mauve]

Click the link, ctrl+F and search "Tanglewood"

[solemn stream]

use money paw and wish for actibity

[wintry canyon]

so it appears they were going to do tanglewood this year, then UPDATED their roadmap.

[fair arrow]

monkey paw locks the exit for 2min it takes too long ;-; thats why im thinking voodoo doll

[wintry canyon]

so you both are right

[jovial seal]

So it means they will have to release all the updates in trello rn before christmas event

[wintry canyon]

like i said, stuff gets delayed

[modern mauve]

No, the roadmap has stayed the same

[solemn stream]

i am on the post, it says things could drastically change depending on circumstances

[jovial seal]

Cause they will be in vacation after christmas most likely

[modern mauve]

Yeah, I know plans can change, I'm just pointing out they did mention that it's planned for this year

[jovial seal]

So its on the right track?

[wintry canyon]

according to their current roadmap yes. but whatever they might have said in the past might have gotten delayed

[modern mauve]

It's currently in progress on the Trello, I wouldn't be surprised to see it before the new character models

[solemn stream]

i saw that and i think i said so earlier, i'm just saying i won't put money on it cuz it's a WIP

[wintry canyon]

im guessing the character overhaul will either come in early december or be pushed to january due to holidays

[jovial seal]

So most likely will come this year?

[wintry canyon]

but there really is only 2 months left in thye year and it seems like a pretty big update

[modern mauve]

I dunno, I'm not in their offices checking their immediate progress

[jovial seal]

New character moddles to be this year as well

[modern mauve]

They'll release them when they're ready, it's as simple as that

[jovial seal]

They need to make a announcment this month if they gonna release next month

Since its to much things

[wintry canyon]

yo imagine if you could get t-shirst with diffrent designs on them for doing achivements

[jovial seal]

New prestige clothing

[wintry canyon]

i hope the character overhaul is good

[jovial seal]

Or acessories

[wintry canyon]

eventually a battlepass with Camera tripod skins

[thorn spruce]

I mean, we're only in the middle of Nov

[wintry canyon]

Phasmophobia: Battle Royal

[jovial seal]

This is not fortnite lol

Phasmo pass 😂

[wintry canyon]

its a video game in 2025, i would not be surprised if they found some way to put a battlepass in the game. i wouldnt like it, but damnit, you know most people would buy it.

[gleaming portal]

I could imagine PS+ packs once when customization comes out for our characters

[prisma laurel]

Phasmophobia horror 2.0 including battle royale

[gleaming portal]

And maybe more Twitch drops

[wintry canyon]

in all honesty, please dont add a battlepass ot the game

i mean id honestly even be fine buying skins for your character after the game is fully released.

[fickle meteor]

i want custom characterization so i can make myself :3

[lime token]

We can all have unique characters which will be sick

[prisma laurel]

[tawny smelt]

I don't mind skins and cosmetics being paid in free to play games. But I'm skeptical to games u already paid for. Always feels a bit weird to me. DLC can be fine tho but then i want big gameplay stuff

[near horizon]

Curious is anyone else experiencing problems with the new map?

everytime I've tried to load it, I've crashed

[fickle meteor]

there's a few in #known-issues

[near horizon]

ahh much appreciated <33

[fair arrow]

Finally copped the demon slayed after 1.5h griding in 30mins each sessions

[tawny smelt]

Omg I'm so jealous

[fair arrow]

you can do it too!!!

[tawny smelt]

Wait so it only took u 3 tries? Or what do you mean by 30 mins a session?

[fair arrow]

just gotta do it 30mins at a time so you dont burn out

3 sessions 30 mins each

[tawny smelt]

But isn't the demon ability only in the first 1 min or something?

[fair arrow]

yeaa first 1min

gotta do it in custom mode and force activity with monkey paw at 80% sanity

then if it doesnt hunt in 1min leave game, rinse repeat

[tawny smelt]

Oh i see what you mean now!

[fair arrow]

[tawny smelt]

I thought u were just hanging out in the house for 30 mins

[fair arrow]

no no xD

[raven peak]

Which room in Nells diner can't be a ghost room? Is it the foyer?

[tawny smelt]

Didnt understand how that was gonna get the demon to run u over with the demon truck

[fair arrow]

yea the foyer only, idk if there is a 2nd one even considering there's 13 rooms of which 11 the ghost can be spawned in

[fair arrow]

hopefully i got you some clarity there

[raven peak]

It says there's 14 rooms in the game and 13 are ghost rooms. I kinda figured it was the foyer lol

[tawny smelt]

I tried to hide there but then realized it was made of glass...... I do wonder if it would of seen me or if those glass walls count as walls

[fair arrow]

oh so the blog is mistyped?

cause it says Nell’s Diner, a completely new type of location for Phasmophobia, brings with it 13 new rooms, 11 of which are possible ghost rooms.

[fair arrow]

the glass doors counts as a wall so the ghost wont see you

unless the ghost sees you going there it will come there

[tawny smelt]

Oh my god hahaha new fave hiding spot

[fair arrow]

yes but i prefer just cutting the line of sight for the ghost and running to hide somewhere

[last drift]

Hope this helps

That's from the cheat sheet

[tawny smelt]

For some reason my instinct is to not do any strategy and just hope it doesnt catch up

The headless chicken strat. I've mastered it.

[wise oyster]

Damn that's a good looking map

[wintry canyon]

sad no foyer ghost lol

[meager snow]

Since the latest Phasmophobia update, the map Nell’s Diner always crashes for me while loading — it gets stuck at 90% on the “Initializing” screen and then the game freezes or closes.

Has anyone else experienced this problem or maybe knows how to fix it?

[wise oyster]

From #known-issues: "Users with integrated graphics crashing at 90% when loading into Nell's Diner. (For some users, setting graphics to lowest, making sure drivers are updated and loading into another map first will fix this issue)"

[crisp zealot]

@stuck ledge I have messaged you about something (semi urgent) to discuss in private. Just wanted to send a message in here in case your message requests are flooded.

[odd vale]

Hi there. He may not get to it until working hours for KG. Just wanted to let you know.

[crisp zealot]

@odd vale No worries at all! Thank you for letting me know! 😊

[vapid cloud]

Have a question for yall. A friend of mine played last night and got all the summoning circle candles lit, survived the hunt, went into single player mode but is still not showing in their trophy case. Ive had my case filled for awhile now so I haven't been paying attention to known bugs on that end. She checked again today and its still not in there.

[urban nacelle]

Anyone know how to fix the missing cursor? Opacity is set to 100 but its just not there

[odd vale]

If your cursor/highlight cursor, opacity and size (as well as player colors) are not saving in the game after clicking APPLY and you have the “optimize game automatically” in NVIDIA turned off then please load into a contract and adjust them there. Please make sure to report this issue into #bug-reports - thank you!

[urban nacelle]

yeah all set to 100 and optimisation is off in NVIDIA. will try load into a contract. Thanks

[odd vale]

Have they restarted at all? Maybe it’ll show them. I don’t know.

[gaunt temple]

In the diner, I noticed a few posters that could possibly be hinting at new maps in the future: a motel map, and a circus map

[frail wharf]

Anyone else notice the bug with UV on the wall in the chiller/freezer in nell's?

[vernal plover]

Do I need to guess the ghost right to complete the challenge map?

[frail wharf]

Honestly I think bug fixes and the other stuff like horror 2.0 should be a major focus now rather than new maps

[gaunt temple]

It’s most likely going to be a point hope thing where we get a teaser one or two years beforehand

[vernal plover]

[heady briar]

I love large maps, but why are they not more rewarding than small maps? They take longer to unlock and are harder, but they offer the same rewards as Tanglewood. That's the real reason everyone only plays that map, am I wrong?

[lime holly]

They do give more rewards

[heady briar]

Do they really? It doesn't seem noticable

[lime holly]

getting ghost correct gives 150, not 100.
And collecting bone gives more as well

[gentle ravine]

I hate the mimic so much 💔 it copied the yurei door Slam so I ran out the building and got it wrong

[frail wharf]

Medium maps give +50% and large gives +100%

You get $200 for getting the ghost right in large maps

[heady briar]

Damn ok I was just wrong

[frail wharf]

I still think it's a crime that prison isn't a large map

[heady briar]

I guess I would still like more reason to play on large maps because I really like them. They are just a bit of a slog sometimes

[heady briar]

IKR? In what world is it medium

[topaz star]

ALWAYS check for the fake orbs

[gentle ravine]

I didn't even check for evidence, I was trying to find the ghost room, got the Slam, got excited and left only to find out I got played 💔

[frail wharf]

Changing behaviour is a big telling sign for mimic too

I had one earlier that started as a thaye and became a shade

[vapid cloud]

They have but its still not showing

[topaz star]

My last mimic did the obake shape shift and polti explosion

[heady briar]

I just watched "phasmo creator reacts to suggestions" and they said "People love small maps more, we wouldn't do a mall because it'd be too big". It just got me thinking. I love exploring large maps but maybe they should just play a little different or offer something extra

[topaz star]

Someone gets it, bigger is better

More things to explore

[gentle ravine]

Would giving more stamina to scale with medium/large maps be a good suggestion

[heady briar]

Like I know everyone hates the school but I have a fascination with it that I can't explain. I like to explore it

[topaz star]

Cus there's lots of things there

I need a 10 floor hotel all for myself

[heady briar]

Something like this. Allowing for enhanced movement/navigation somehow. Imagine you could like... move the truck around lol

Or someone said carry bags on large maps only

[gentle ravine]

Is the diner a small or medium map?

[topaz star]

Small

[gentle ravine]

Kinda figured

[heady briar]

I don't think the school or prison maps need to be redone. But prison should count as large and they should have something extra to balance them with small maps. It could be something very small

I didn't even know you got extra rewards so maybe that could just be more clear

[topaz star]

High school will

Not sure the rest I know tanglewood will

[heady briar]

Is that just cause of Unity assets you think?

[topaz star]

Speculations and nothing has changed since game launch

[heady briar]

I mean who cares if some people don't like it. Just don't play on it lol. I like it

[gentle ravine]

Isn't the game getting a massive overhaul where they replace everything with their own assets instead of unity?

[topaz star]

I like high school

[topaz star]

Trello will tell u everything

[prime elk]

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.

[frail wharf]

At the very least they need to update the van map to be like all the newer maps

[heady briar]

That is true

[frail wharf]

Tanglewood rework will be interesting they better not massacre my baby

[topaz star]

Potato

[heady briar]

I am sure they will keep the layout very similar if not identical. Will just be a lot more detail

[frail wharf]

Gimme more lore

[heady briar]

We got a movie comin out so there ya go

[solemn stream]

there is lore coming

[frail wharf]

How would a phasmo movie even work

[solemn stream]

just read the trello

[frail wharf]

Plot wise

[frail wharf]

I know

Clearly no plans to redo Prison or High School currently

[prisma laurel]

What if I trello the read?

[prime elk]

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.

[solemn stream]

they will redo all the maps before horror 2.0 because they want all their own assets

[zinc coyote]

Bro turned into wesker

[frail wharf]

What if god forbid they just remove them

[heady briar]

Tbh I can see the vision. Put a lot of focus on the crew of ghost hunters, make them really likeable characters. The plot can revolve around the tidbits of lore around Patient 7 in Sunny meadows. Maybe she is the cause of a ton of violent hauntings that is ravaging their town and they need to put her to rest

[frail wharf]

Honestly I feel like a Phasmo movie would just be like Grave Encounters (which is my favourite horror movie tbf)

[heady briar]

Insert epic Adrift cover here

[zinc coyote]

Phasmo movie is being made by blumhouse... and they're VERY hit or miss. So I'm just hoping it actually turns out decent

[quiet needle]

Why cant i change my loadout name on ps5?

[frail wharf]

Well we know how FNAF 1 turned out...

[zinc coyote]

It was okay but they've maybe made.. 2 or 3 decent movies in total imo

[heady briar]

FNAF is fan service: the movie. And yknow, I liked it that way.

[quiet needle]

Can someone help

[heady briar]

It made for a great theater experience lol

[idle oracle]

Hi there! Does anyone have a photo of the map of Nell's Diner or know where I can find one? The only graphics I can find on google are from the cheat sheet or a screenshot of the map from the van (and it's all tilted weird... 😭 )

[zinc coyote]

Its on the cheat sheet

Thats the best map to use

[restive quiver]

what ghost will speed up in line of sight but not super fast? like I could almost otrun the ghost if I had a tiny bit more sprint

[idle oracle]

Darn it 😭 I was hoping to find one of the official map and not the cheat sheet version. Thank you though! 💜

[zinc coyote]

You can check the wiki but I'm not sure if it has one or not

[wise oyster]

there is no "official version"

[quiet needle]

Does anybody know why i cant name a loadout on playstation?

[heady briar]

Don't all ghosts do that pretty much?

[wise oyster]

most do, yeah

[fierce vector]

COULD a wraith step in salt or is it completely impossible

[solemn stream]

impossible

[plain violet]

impossible

[fierce vector]

then im crossing mine out-

[wise oyster]

Disturbed Salt = Wraith

[fierce vector]

if the T1 thermometer even goes below zero for a second but doesnt return soon, is it still freezing?

[plain violet]

yes

[wise oyster]

yes, all thermos are only inaccurate upwards

[fierce vector]

Then im happy to announce, ive got twins.

[wise oyster]

[plain violet]

anything under 1c is frezing so 0.9c is still frezzing

[fierce vector]

(the ghost dw)

[solemn stream]

on t1 it has to be bellow 0

[zinc coyote]

Anything below 0 on t1 is freezing, anything below 1.0 on t2/t3 is freezing

[fierce vector]

and i remain at 84% sanity

[plain violet]

ohhhh

[fierce vector]

thank all of you so much

now lets see if ive been mimic'd-

[wise oyster]

Yes and no. The issue with T1 is it's hard to tell it's recommended to go below 0 to be sure.

[plain violet]

if there is no orbs your fine

[fierce vector]

YESSIR TWINSS

Literally 0 ghost events-

it changed room once and it interacted 44 times

[zinc coyote]

Remember old t1?
Most op tool in the game

[solemn stream]

t1 is just yuck and difficult

[wise oyster]

no argument there

[fierce vector]

wasnt there to see it-

anyway should i get the T2 thermo since i can?

what should i get first, T2 Dots or T2 Thermo

[zinc coyote]

Yes, t1 thermo is dookie now. Upgrade asap

[fierce vector]

4.5k in my bankie right now, lets get at it boisss

[zinc coyote]

T1 dots is still very usable

Some people even prefer t1 dots over 2 and 3

[fierce vector]

can t2 dots be hung on the ceiling-

[zinc coyote]

No, but you can place it

[fierce vector]

on the ceiling?

[zinc coyote]

No

[fierce vector]

Understood

still pretty good tho right? isnt that the one that lights up the entire room really well?

[frail wharf]

We expecting player and character update to be pushed back to next year?

[zinc coyote]

Its like a flashlight pretty much. So you can just stand and point it wherever. Some people prefer it. I prefer t3 personally

[fierce vector]

isnt it better to place it or am i thinking of the T3

[gentle ravine]

Is there a cursed object in the diner challenge mode?

[wise oyster]

Yes, 1 random one.

The challenge is basically Professional with Windy weather

[heavy bear]

I'm predicting the next new map will be a hotel

[zinc coyote]

Carnival 👀

[grave field]

T3 is the one that lights up a whole room. It also works well on ceilings. T2 is a small radius around the device. You can place it on floors and walls.

[inland moss]

Based on the poster in Nell’s Diner, I’m thinking it may be an abandoned carnival or circus tent of some sort. I’d like that before a hotel, unless the hotel was focused on staff areas with only a few guest rooms as ghost room options

[prisma laurel]

They should of just put the challenge mode of apoc 3 into Nells Diner

[plush mountain]

I just had a skull in the hallway behind the dining room on Nell's Diner, and the debriefing said it was in the Women's Bathroom.

I've had that a few times, where it said the bone was actually in a nearby room from where it was

[inland moss]

I think an abandoned orphanage would make an amazingly creepy map

[lime token]

That would be sick yeah

[gentle ravine]

Can you record fake orbs? Idk if it's a Hantu or mimic

It's really active in the room but won't respond to spirit box

[zinc coyote]

Yes, but it'll just say orbs

[lime token]

Mimic orbs just come up as regular ghost orbs yeah

[heady briar]

Cemetery map....

[gentle ravine]

Should I just say hantu? It keeps throwing stuff and making noises in the room but won't respond

[prisma laurel]

[gentle ravine]

Hell nah 😭

I am NOT going to no cemetery

[heady briar]

With a mausoleum and a church

[zinc coyote]

Cemeteries are cool

[gentle ravine]

I just thought of a really cool but hard challenge mode, what if there was 2 ghosts you had to find on a large map

[prisma laurel]

Just add a store with a second floor

[lime token]

Mcdonalds

[prisma laurel]

[zinc coyote]

A pizzeria with creepy animatronics 👀
With one animatronic being named Fred

[heady briar]

Like #1 most haunted location

[heady briar]

Wow good idea

[zinc coyote]

I used go walk through them, they're weirdly peaceful

[heady briar]

I walked one near my house, I should go do that again cause yeah you're right, they are nice. At night time, however....

[stark dove]

Just need a creepy atmosphere and it's spooky

[zinc coyote]

Even better at night imo. Maybe I'm just weird and edgy
I just like how silent they are

[heady briar]

Ok yea I'd be creeped out at night

[inland moss]

I’d like a cemetery map too, with a mortuary and mausoleum as part of the map too. But the orphanage would be an early 1900’s aesthetic and anything to do with kids from that era is just inherently much creepier than a cemetery imo

[heady briar]

Btw the Trello says nothing about unity assets or high school / prison rework

[frail wharf]

Are sanity meds bugged for anyone else?

I can't use them

[stark dove]

You're not low enough sanity

[frail wharf]

I've had a yurei move a door like 3 times right near me

[stark dove]

They only drain sanity when using their ability on the door

[fair arrow]

does the daily task not get counted if game is in custom?

[frail wharf]

But they can't move doors outside of their ability?

[stark dove]

I don't think opening the door is an ability, also I think they might be able to close doors naturally without their ability but it looks pretty different

I haven't tested it tho

Seen yureis slooowlly close a door which could not count as an ability

[frail wharf]

Yureis can only fully close and open doors

And they always do it in the same way

[stark dove]

No

[echo musk]

yes

[elder lantern]

Does anyone elses ear do that move thing (usually when scared or anxious) when a hunt happens

[echo musk]

If the door is even partially open, and chooses that door, it will open it all the way. Vice Versa. reguardless of the doors origional state.

[echo musk]

moves mine on my own not sure if it moves involuntarily.

[elder lantern]

Origional

[elder lantern]

I don't know how to move my ears it just happens involuntarily when I hear something alerting

[supple tiger]

😭

[zinc coyote]

[supple tiger]

[vestal ferry]

It may not be on the trello but the devs made it clear their end goal to replace all unity premade assets with their own.

[supple tiger]

-trello

[prime elk]

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.

[somber cypress]

[cedar heron]

imagine if they added a theatre map that would have the projector turn on and an easteregg where the ghost comes out of the screen?????

[supple tiger]

Dont look at us like that

[slow glen]

Running a very high end setup and I'm having the same exact issue, I've never dealt with stuttering and lag before but now its like I'm trying to run a Triple AAA game with path tracing lmao

[lean forum]

turning off vsync worked for me, thought it was an issue with my new oled at first but twas vsync

[zinc coyote]

Gotta start a petition to remove vsync from all games

[vestal ferry]

I require vsync though...m

I cant be having my frames go beyond my monitors hz... then it just screen tears

[lean forum]

ive never noticed the input lag that comes with vsync

[zinc coyote]

Id rather limit my frames than have it be done with vsync, Ill deal with screen tearing over input lag

[nova cosmos]

Okay to the dev team, I wanted to congratulate you guys on the release of Nell’s diner and also tell you it’s an awesome map! My friend and I recorded for it for my YouTube last night and we had such a blast on the map, and loved how interactive it was!

[somber cypress]

Bring back vulkan

[glad wind]

Does anyone know if there is a plan for phasmophobia to be playable on the Xbox One

[zinc coyote]

I used to play a ton of comp games, I noticed it after a while

[zinc coyote]

No, current gen and pc only

[glad wind]

Yikes

[zinc coyote]

What ever happened to vulkan? No one ever really uses it for some reason

[glad wind]

I hope they release it in the future for all the broke losers (me)

[somber cypress]

I think support was ended or something cause it just disappeared from everywhere

[zinc coyote]

They wont, last gen support is dying

[lean forum]

considering its 12 years old def not

[glad wind]

Oops I thought Xbox One was the new one

I usually play on PC so I know literally nothing about consoles

[zinc coyote]

Sucks. I've noticed decent improvements on vulkan too for some games

[lean forum]

series X/S is the newest xbox (series S is the digital only, X is physical version)

[glad wind]

Cheers

[zinc coyote]

Yeah, its on the current gen xbox not the last one

[stark dove]

nice pfp

[zinc coyote]

Twins

[obsidian vine]

Why does my character run out of breath after running for 3 seconds. so annoying

[fair arrow]

They should introduce apoc 4 (apoc 3 req + perfect run medias)

[fair arrow]

map requirement as prison cause thats such a neglected map

[fathom trout]

Needs to get to the gym.

Mine has that problem too, she’s a cardio slacker.

[zinc coyote]

With the running we do up and down the stairs of point hope we should be able to run for longer

[fathom trout]

I love that map.

[zinc coyote]

Same, dunno why people hate it

It's fun

[cyan badger]

Point hope worst map

[fathom trout]

Maybe inventory management

[raven drum]

guys will they add a custom map feature where you can make your own maps?

I think that'd be really cool

[zinc coyote]

Doubt it

[fathom trout]

That feature comes in the board game.

[patent dome]

Phasmophobia for the Gameboy Advanced

[magic tiger]

I think that idea was shot down due to pathing issues.

[glad wind]

Hehehe thanks

[patent dome]

I love the idea and design, but having arthritis really sucks with all those stairs unfortunately

[magic tiger]

If that ever happens I'm definitely gonna reinact the smiling friends landlord 'Burnout revenge for the PS2' scene. 😂

[stray cloud]

Okay, I have a question - is it just me or are there others out there who crash at Nells Diner at 90%?
Thanks for anyone who has insight and has a way to fix the issue (even temporarily) 😊

[magic tiger]

Honestly, why don't we have a system to upgrade our character stats(like stamina, speed etc. . .) that is life based.

We get to upgrade and if we die, a percentage of the stats get removed. (% increases based on difficulty)

[lime token]

Integrated graphics? I saw that in #known-issues

[patent dome]

But if we die, we ded

[raven drum]

one thing I don't get is why do the characters have such low stamina, they run for like 1 second and they're out of stamina. If I was in their situation, I wouldn't care if I was out of stamina, I would run as fast as I could to the exit and get the hell outta there

[frosty wedge]

VR is broken for me, only the left eye is working, the right one is like... the axis are swapped or something...

[stray cloud]

Thxxx

[magic tiger]

God forbid me that I remember how I fixed that 😩

[frosty wedge]

please please please remember that

[magic tiger]

I think it was either changing the openxr from using oculus to steam openxr(or vis versa) or an update to the headset/graphics card.

[vestal ferry]

vsync may add 1ms of input lag...
Gsync and freesync add a lot of input lag and only works within a range of framerate anyway. Still lets it go above monitor refresh rate

[vestal ferry]

The game is early access. It makes no sense to plan a release on a console that is over a decade old and is losing support from xbox itself.

[zinc coyote]

I don't like it

[rocky current]

Does anyone else find the ||Easter Egg on Nell's Diner|| quite loud?

[magic tiger]

Lol that's the one thing insym complained about

[vestal ferry]

They did a great job of all audio except that lol

[prisma laurel]

Too loud

[vestal ferry]

Also the directional audio messes up with it.

[rocky current]

Maybe we'll see a patch for it in the future? Fingers crossed it's sooner than later

[dreamy magnet]

Can u give me a mysterious hint/riddle on how to find the Easter egg without revealing what it is?

If it it’s Batman batcave I would piss myself

[solemn stream]

Use your uv and have a look around

[dreamy magnet]

Ohhhh

[mellow elbow]

can wishing for knowledge erase an evidence that’s being hidden due to Nightmare/Insanity?

[vernal plover]

Does completing challenge mode mean correctly identifying the ghost.

[solemn stream]

Yes

[solemn stream]

No

[mellow remnant]

[vernal plover]

Thank you, been guessing with the stupid incooperation of the ghost and barely anyone running the challenge thing for me to join on

I’ll do the EE later on it

[rocky current]

The best hint I can give you is look around the office with a UV stick. You need to find something on the map NOT in UV to correspond to what you find in UV

[dreamy magnet]

Bro how u even look at mp4 on iPhone

[worn hawk]

Anybody else tempted to take the police cruiser in front of Nell's for a joy ride? I mean, engine running, door open.... temptation! I know Kevin Bacon said "You don't... STEAL... a f*cking... Cop Car!".... But come on, I want to explore around the area....

[dreamy magnet]

RIDICULOUS

[mellow remnant]

be careful u can get stuck on the door

u gotta crouch and back out to get away but it is a thing

[mellow elbow]

wonder what happened to that guy

[dreamy magnet]

It’s in Arizona, I’d like to ride the cop car to my aunt and uncles house in phoenix

[mellow elbow]

he probably went into the dark diner to investigate a crime… and… well…

[dreamy magnet]

Spooky

[rocky current]

The rest is a little hard to get without hints. I'll tell you this which is sorta the only way you'll really find out without draining hours, ||you need to make change to play a game||.

[vestal ferry]

Its straight forward tbh

Giving a bunch of hint when not asked to give hints is also kinda rude

[rocky current]

For me it wasn't really. I took a solid few hours trying to figure it out

Also I did spoil the actual hints so if the person doesn't want to see it, they don't have to. Don't really understand what's rude about that

[vestal ferry]

"Mysterious hint or riddle"
Proceeds to describe the whole thing anyway.
First person to give hint understood assignment.

[rocky current]

If they're asking for help to begin with, there's probably a reason to why. It's most likely not easy for them.

[runic harbor]

ghost jus burned a crucifix after i smudged it 🥀

[past leaf]

Multiplayer?

[fluid stratus]

ghost straight up parried the smudge stick

[runic harbor]

i was solo in a multiplayer lobby

[drifting badge]

peak

[runic harbor]

twas a mimic btw!

[past leaf]

Mimicking a demon, maybe?

[vestal ferry]

Must not have smudged it then

[runic harbor]

no it was ~10 secs

[runic harbor]

weird, i smudged in the ghost room

[drifting badge]

did you use a candle instead of smuge

[runic harbor]

i used a smudge, t2

[past leaf]

Could it be Mimicking an Onryo? Don’t they always hunt after 3 blows?

[vestal ferry]

You need to smudge the ghost itself. If ghost no there. Then it no got smudged

[runic harbor]

ah

[vestal ferry]

Not when under smudge timer

[trim spire]

Can someone help me with apoc 3 im on Ps5

[runic harbor]

yall wanna join vc

[past leaf]

Rigged

[fickle meteor]

no >:)

[vestal ferry]

Onry attempt to hunt. Any reason preventing it from hunting still applies

[runic harbor]

HOLD UP

I HAVE A SILLY IDEA FOLKS

[wise oyster]

Ketchup and mustard in the same bottle!

[runic harbor]

also i somehow didnt find the orbs in the beginning, they were at the kitchen door leading to staff hallway

[wise oyster]

@high oxide you played Nell's yet? Have you noticed it sounds like our pants are whooshing sometimes?

[native canopy]

our sanity has dropped like crazy. any clues on what it can be.. no use of mic

or sound equiptment

[vestal ferry]

Been in the dark doing no light activities

[wise oyster]

Silent, sudden sanity drops make me think Jinn

[runic harbor]

did yall use spirit box

[vestal ferry]

Orbs will always be in fav room. Ghost wont always be in fav room.

[native canopy]

nope fully lit

[lime token]

Loving the diner so much

[native canopy]

nope

[runic harbor]

yea i know, i just didnt look in that one spot

[runic harbor]

jinn?

are yall playin no evi

[lime token]

Map is also brightER than the farmhouses so that's a massive W

[prisma laurel]

It still looks dark

[runic harbor]

any guesses on when we get ghost types 25 - 27

[wise oyster]

you're all...puffed up

[vestal ferry]

Inky blackness is still there.
Snow weather makes it oddly bright

[lime token]

I can see fairly decently without a flashlight

[native canopy]

we have writing

[runic harbor]

just?

[wise oyster]

When Elder Scrolls VI comes out

[vestal ferry]

Heat death of universe

[lunar heart]

Are there cursed items in Nell’s diner

[lime token]

So never, got it

[native canopy]

so far ye

[runic harbor]

how many evidence are yall playin with? i need this info

[vestal ferry]

Why wouldnt there be?

[native canopy]

3

[runic harbor]

ooh, get someone alone in dark w/ spirit box then

[vestal ferry]

Turn light off in ghost room so it can do shit. Then find your evidences

[runic harbor]

tip: ALWAYS HAVE THE LIGHTS OFF

[native canopy]

freezing now :)

[wise oyster]

This is no longer sounding like sudden sanity loss

[runic harbor]

hmm

not shade i assume?

[native canopy]

nope def not

[runic harbor]

check for orbs?

[vestal ferry]

Its sounding like its been a while in tbh. Lol

[lunar heart]

Idk, but all maps have cursed items right?

[native canopy]

15 mins?

[lime token]

Was playing 100% ghost speed and ya boy still got it

[native canopy]

lot faster drain than all my other games

[vestal ferry]

...yes. :3 not sure what would make someone think they wouldnt be on 1 map when its not based on map anyway

Based solely on your difficulty settings

[wise oyster]

passive sanity drain is doubled in multiplayer, if you usually play solo

[vestal ferry]

Not even sure how much sanity youre talking tbh.
10% 20% 49%
Like just kinda been vague

[candid apex]

Ion hsve cursed objects on x12 ;((

[native canopy]

it was 20 and im in multiplayer, normally in multi

[vestal ferry]

20% is pretty normal in 15min though... like im used to faster than that lol

[exotic plinth]

Hello guys

[vestal ferry]

Also any rooms with multi light switches need all them on to do the prevent sanity thing. Just cause you are in light doesnt mean sanity isnt draining.

And nells diner has a lot of rooms with multi switches.

[exotic plinth]

Whats the best hint of a ghost being a rev?

[zinc coyote]

Speed

[vestal ferry]

Speed it has

[exotic plinth]

Ah ok thanks

[vestal ferry]

Being like "oh wow its so slow" then sudden fast speed and neck snap means rev. Good luck

[native canopy]

mayube thats it, tysm

[exotic plinth]

And is the best hint for a poltergiest it throwing loads of objects at once?

[somber cypress]

Every .5 seconds during hunt. Also can use its pile throw ability with lights on so you have a couple ways to tell

[vestal ferry]

Polty 3+ objects levitate and thrown at once yes, outside of hunt.
During hunt itll just make a big mess of things as it throws things a ton

[exotic plinth]

What if its fast and doing that

Or is my game bugged

[vestal ferry]

Any ghost can throw a lot cause of rng.
0.5sec all ghosts attempt to throw during hunt
Polty =100%
Others =50%

[exotic plinth]

If it it has speed like a rev but always throws like a polty would it be a mimic

[vestal ferry]

Not how mimic works

It can only mimic one ghost at a time

[exotic plinth]

Ah

[vestal ferry]

But polty does gain LoS over time during hunts

Most ghosts do.

[exotic plinth]

Ok

I have a very agressive ghost so im very confused

[steel goblet]

Where do I go to check an error? It says there might be an outage in our online service. Try again in a few minutes. If you get this error again, check the service status.

I'm on xbox

[vestal ferry]

No idea

[exotic plinth]

Its aggresive but then it throws alot but then its fast

Any clue?

[wise oyster]

sounds like a definite ghost

[loud elbow]

is there a way to see the descriptions of upgradeable items without the giant button over it

[exotic plinth]

Wdym

[wise oyster]

I mean your description doesn't narrow it down

[exotic plinth]

But a rev is fast, a polty throws alot and a demon is aggresive but its all of them

So wich one would it be

[wise oyster]

we can't tell from chat

lots of people get normal ghosts sped up from LoS and claim "it's a fast ghost," or see a ghost throw a lot of things and think it's a Polter, or think it's "aggressive" (without any meaning behind it)

[exotic plinth]

Well id show u in a vc but i js got killed by it

[vestal ferry]

Demon isnt "aggressive" it just can hunt more often.

[wise oyster]

what was it?

[exotic plinth]

No idea

Game crashed idk y

[wise oyster]

aw lame

[exotic plinth]

Ik it annoyed me aswell

[steel goblet]

Maybe super ghost

[exotic plinth]

It crashed as i died :(

[exotic plinth]

Its the entity from misson impossible coming back

[vestal ferry]

Alt-f4 def is crash inducing ghost type

[steel goblet]

Haha yup maybe the Nun got ya

[exotic plinth]

Wdym

Im on playstation

So games will crash and will crash more when its installed on extened storage bc

[native canopy]

So, it WAS a moroi

-.- i was right about the sanity being WONK at least

[stoic spindle]

sweet - my first time on Nell's Diner besides being a muppet and not going down a couple difficulties so I can learn the map, I managed to get a perfect game and do the easter egg, I got a Goryo lol

I like the Ghost in the Machine card

[exotic plinth]

Nice

[stoic spindle]

I feel like we should be able to have more than just 2 icons

having a prestige takes up a slot cause its gonna show what prestige level we are anyway

[glacial finch]

not sure what other slots would do if there were more

[stoic spindle]

show off our favourite icons?

[vestal ferry]

Well you said no talking or recording or sound items. so moroi curse wasnt possible according to your original statements

[stoic spindle]

like, I wanna have the Apoc3 thing on there as well as the Moneybags one cause that looks cool

[glacial finch]

just switch between games I guess idk

with the icon

[stoic spindle]

PITA to lol

then there's the achievement hunter one

[native canopy]

yeah i didnt think we had but musta somehow

[glacial finch]

maybe in the future there might be something but idk how they make it work

[stoic spindle]

could expand the card a bit to allow 2 more below the 2 currently?

or in a line

[vestal ferry]

Moroi curse would also be pretty fast instead of 20% over 15 minutes.
But yeah. Yall need to actually look for the evidence. Suck it up. Do spirit box.

[glacial finch]

do the spirit box

[vestal ferry]

Just let us choose 2 cards. Even if from same row. :3 easy.

99% of my cosmetic woes is not being able to mix and match freely

[minor fable]

Anyone else thought they’ve been stuck in the cop car outside Nell’s Diner?

[wise oyster]

yep, it's in #known-issues

[glacial finch]

I guess that works, thank you for your idea

[stoic spindle]

anyone else spam the horn to see what would happen? lol

[glacial finch]

you do a crime or something?

[wise oyster]

I just watched NukaDave beep the horn. That was enough for me

[minor fable]

Was looking for donuts!

[stoic spindle]

oh you stole their donuts

must've been the last donut in the Diner so the cops arrested you for it XD

[minor fable]

[glacial finch]

naughty person

[stoic spindle]

never mess with a cop's donut

[native canopy]

we did, it was stubborn and didnt give us anything

we ended up guessing it right anyway through hunting

[vestal ferry]

Did it bother you they forgot the E brake for the manual transmission cop car

[wise oyster]

I didn't even notice

[vestal ferry]

Also nothing is plugged in still!!! CJ!!! wheres the cables and plugs for electronics huh?!

[glacial finch]

I took them

[zinc coyote]

A better question is why is the food so cheap

Mystery meat?

[wise oyster]

The diner that inflation forgot

[vestal ferry]

2004

June 25th 2004.
Diner is stuck on that day

Though the pricing still doesnt make much sense for 2004 where 2 eggs is that expensive lol

[wise oyster]

where do you get 2004 from? The register reads 06-25-25

[vestal ferry]

Ill get my screenshots later

[median thorn]

Is there anyway to turn off the cop car lights? Like on the other maps we can turn off the car lights? Those are seizure inducing colors for me.. plus achievements progress aren’t working for badges

[opal ore]

Anyone getting disconnected from game after opening?

I have the wrong id cards...

[desert cedar]

as someone who works in a restaurant as a line cook irl

I have no idea, those prices are hilariously cheap, even for arizona

[frank pine]

Yo the game removed some of my id card and gave me some.i dont own where can i report to fix?

[gritty sparrow]

@violet nova

[frank pine]

Ty

[lavish sapphire]

Its a true shame that none of the food and drink in the diner is edible. Imagine if they restored small amounts of sanity

[fickle meteor]

too op

[desert cedar]

a t-bone ribeye for $7 would make me question my choice to enter that establishment, it's scarily cheap

[zinc coyote]

Right? I want to know where I can get a good burger thats $3 lol

They're using meat from the squishy room in sunny

[desert cedar]

I had a ghost in the restricted area last night who just LOVED to go into the squishy room, even though that wasn't the ghost room. Hearing that on a paramic was a truly gross experience lmao

[worn hawk]

Based on cop car light bar on roof, seems like this is back in 80's or 90's time frame

[desert cedar]

ghost huntin distribution origin story confirmed

[lavish sapphire]

Well given the area and the lone police cruiser, i think the diner is in another dimension. There was a movie i watched a long time ago and there was a diner in hell, and this looks close to it

If not an emisis blue reference

[vestal ferry]

Kinda? More like. Locked in time is better and time is wibbly wobbly. Just look at Bleasedale after all.

[lavish sapphire]

Not to.mention the easter egg

[desert cedar]

bleasedale constantly looks like the house was just evacuated, but also has been empty for weeks at the same time

[vestal ferry]

2000s era

[lavish sapphire]

I think nells diner is actually hells diner

And when you go there, youre actually in hell

[vestal ferry]

Maybe even years with the piled up letters, cobwebs and such. Not enough to destroy anything but definitely mixed bag

[worn hawk]

2000's makes sense, explains food prices. Jukebox is an oldie

[lavish sapphire]

I think the diner is a paradox

[desert cedar]

there are also smartphones in the map too btw

[vestal ferry]

CJ hinted that where the ghosts are, time isnt constant. Bleasedale, sunny meadows, campsites, and all.
Even highschool. The newspaper in diner says itll be reopened after the tragedy that toom place there. The time frame for the school being roughly the 80s in its current state.

[desert cedar]

so at least 2010 or later, considering they don't look like older touch screen devices, they look closer to modern phones

[vestal ferry]

They look like first gen iphone tbh.

Thick as hell.

Small too.

[desert cedar]

I think the real answer is: "it's a video game lol, don't worry about it"

[neat perch]

Is anyone playing rn? 👀

[desert cedar]

but it's fun to theorize

[vestal ferry]

Its fun to theorize. Along with some hints from devs. Lore is coming. Ghosts clearly are known in this world of phasmo as the newspapers do know of them.

And they arent tabloids.

[wise oyster]

They are working lore into the game, so the speculation could actually be right or wrong in the future.

[zinc coyote]

twilight zone theme plays

[lavish sapphire]

So phasmophobia as a whole is a paradox

[runic harbor]

odds for blood moon 2x in a row?

[neat perch]

Womp womp

[runic harbor]

SHOOT I REPLIED TO SOMEONE IM SO SORRU

[vestal ferry]

The time thing though i do think will stick considering whats been said from devs and said in game thusfar

[desert cedar]

true, but the apps on it have references to stuff like snapchat and the weather app icon from ios7, which was the iphone 5 I believe

[zinc coyote]

I'm personally pretty excited to get some more lore

[desert cedar]

although the snapchat could very easily just be because it's a ghost lol

[wise oyster]

what's the evidence for 2004 again? Did I miss it?

[vestal ferry]

There was apps before snapchat that did similar things too.

[native canopy]

Its chill dw

[zinc coyote]

I'll have to load up later see if I can find any references to dates on the map

[vestal ferry]

Im still not at pc

[neat perch]

Devs just announced the whole game is cancelled

[wise oyster]

just say what it is

[neat perch]

Swear

[wise oyster]

a newspaper, a calendar, a keyring, a coffeepot?

[desert cedar]

like a 0.04% chance I think

[desert cedar]

sure, but snapchat is the one that had the ghost icon for the app

[neat perch]

Well now its 0.00% since they cancelled the game

So sad

[desert cedar]

rip

[wise oyster]

womp womp

well we had a good run, went out on a high note

[desert cedar]

I wouldn't be surprised if there was something that said 2004 on it, but is there any evidence that says it can't be past 2004?

[neat perch]

@wise oyster #sosad

[lavish sapphire]

Theory

The hunters (us) are in purgatory. That explains how we can come back after "dying" and how ghosts can actually attack. With the easter eggs, events, etc being bizzare and the shadow man with eyes staring at you on halloween and the ghost trapped in the other room, it has to be an otherworldly dimension. That, and the intense ghost activity and lack of NPCs

[zinc coyote]

Also, a manual transmission cop car in America? Thats rare too

[desert cedar]

I think the smartphone just existing is proof enough of that tbh, that's at minimum 2006

[desert cedar]

maybe not for a low budget town in the middle of nowhere though

[zinc coyote]

Possibly, but the amount of people that know how to drive stick is pretty low too

[desert cedar]

hec ye

[wise oyster]

for a cruiser, that's just weird

[zinc coyote]

At least in the US

[desert cedar]

true. I don't really know how to drive manual

[vestal ferry]

nvm the 2 looked like a 0 with another AA setting. It's 2024 according to some invoices on here.
Cop car and vehicles suggest early 2000s late 90s though. So does the pricing in diner..

[zinc coyote]

Easier than it seems

[neat perch]

This has been #sofun. so glad i joined this group, 10/10 would recommend. This server is definitely not trash. Leaving now. K thnx bye have a gr8 time.

[visual blade]

oni was lighting speed i thought onis werent fast or am i tweaking?

[vestal ferry]

just kinda pointing to time being weird still... icecream isn't melted and the steaks are fresh.
been trying to decypher the dang newspaper though. It's clear it's written out by the devs but they decided to go with low res upload in game

[lusty flax]

aiming for apoc 3 today chat, wish me luck i have 150 hours on the game and dont have it </3

[leaden ivy]

onis are normal speed, they have LOS though

[steady spruce]

Is anyone else's in game cursor just not there what so ever, like my opacity is max and its not there

[wise oyster]

Register still says 06-25-25

[desert cedar]

I mean, older cars existing isn't the strangest thing around. It's 2025 and I personally drive a 2006 car

[vestal ferry]

oni has LOS speed up like most ghosts do

[leaden ivy]

reroll and get that deogen

[desert cedar]

best of luck, friend. may your skill and rng be in your favor

[visual blade]

tweaked out oni LOS speed

[vestal ferry]

for a cop car though. It is. even in small towns around the world.

[visual blade]

thanks anyway just confused for a second

[leaden ivy]

Unless it was a mimic that was a fast ghost before and changed to oni

[young forum]

guys i need somebody to play with that will teach me how to play because im very new to this game

[desert cedar]

color maybe too

[vestal ferry]

change it anyway. wibbly wobble it around.

Turn off nvidia auto optimization. I heard that messes with things too

[vestal ferry]

even the pcs, phone, security cam system, other devices are all a mix match of eras and time.

[runic harbor]

nvm it was moroi

[wet furnace]

hey am i allowed to ask questions here?

[desert cedar]

questions are encouraged

[wise oyster]

And the calendar in the manager's office is on June, BUT June 25th is a Thursday there. The last time June 25th was a Thursday was 2020.

[desert cedar]

the smartphone and the CRT monitor is a really funny mix

[wet furnace]

alright! so im in as server but ive never tried na, sa and eu before. will i be laggy?

[wise oyster]

Maybe

[wet furnace]

will it affect my gameplay? or sticking to asia server is better?

[zinc coyote]

Youll notice latency

[wet furnace]

not alot of people on as server right now so i wanna try a different one

[wise oyster]

late 2000s/early 2010s it would've made sense. Or a lot of places that don't have extra money just keep old stuff. Ditto the cop car. Small county doesn't have budget for new fancy cars

[vestal ferry]

yeah and pc is hard to read but it looks like it has april of 2023 pulled up.. but the date in bottom might be 2020 and i think it's running windows 8?

[wet furnace]

oohhh

[zinc coyote]

Bring back the crown vics 🙏

[desert cedar]

I mean, a diner only charging $7 for a steak is never gonna make enough profits to justify upgrading anything anyways

[wise oyster]

looks like XP to me tbh

[wet furnace]

thanks btw!

[vestal ferry]

i dunno. i'm gonna stick to my thing of Time be funky in these ghost haunted places not just cause of diner, but also the other maps that devs had made.

[glossy minnow]

is anyone else having issues not getting the moneybags id card?

[vestal ferry]

yeah... could be xp. but it has windows Edge icon and new windows photo album icon as well.

[zinc coyote]

Np, it wont be too bad just be aware of it. If im not playing on my native region, the ghost can kill me from like 5 feet away

[zinc coyote]

-moneybags

[prime elk]

To obtain the Moneybags badge:

• You must have the "Break the Bank" Achievement
• Purchase an item in the shop
• Enter a contract
• Guess a ghost in the journal and leave via the truck
• Badge should be awarded!

[vestal ferry]

just a mix mash of things.

[desert cedar]

and they have a crazy stacked kitchen too, two flat tops, a grill, a deep fryer, and 12 burners, and a variety of other appliances, so they clearly had the budget for it when they built the diner

[wet furnace]

ahh, i see! thanks you again!

[wise oyster]

I can't get close enough to tell, could it be Internet Explorer?

[glossy minnow]

ive done all this and restarted everything and still nothing

[steady spruce]

never had it on

[wise oyster]

I need a good 4k pic of it, which I can't get myself

[zinc coyote]

Think I'm going to load up in a few and see if I can find some details regarding a date on the Diner. Now I'm interested

[desert cedar]

the smartphones have the app icons for the modern day ios icons for the health app, snapchat, weather, and notes lol

[vestal ferry]

it's a swirl i can tell that. unless it's the very very last IE icon which was a swirl like edge has.

[desert cedar]

anyone with VR who can get closer than normal and take some screenshots?

[zinc coyote]

Id check the #known-issues channels if anything reach out to modmail

[vestal ferry]

i need to setup my vr at some point and HOPE phasmo has decent resolution for it. but like the newspaper, the resolution of the actual PNGs are too low

[wise oyster]

Yeah I'd need to see a higher resolution than the 1080 I'm on

[desert cedar]

true

I play in 4K, but if the textures are low res, theere's nothing we can do about that lol

[vestal ferry]

i'm looking on 4k and it looks like the png resolution is just... too low.

[wise oyster]

bah

[vestal ferry]

like here is the best i could do for newspaper. it's just too low res. this is a 4k pic

[wise oyster]

I don't even see a date, unless that's one in the bottom left, but too faint

[vestal ferry]

there's no date on the newspaper sadly. 🙁 i was just trying to read the stories though. i can kinda make out some of it but not a lot

[desert cedar]

doesn't seem to be a date

it is interesting from a lore perspective why this newspaper is even posted at all

[fickle meteor]

for funsies

[wise oyster]

Oh yeah, I can make it through some of it very slowly. Damn that hurts my eyes.

[desert cedar]

like the diner advertisement, sure, but this is a really weirdly morbid thing to have posted in the employee lounge, you know? Unless someone who worked at the diner cared about these locations

[vestal ferry]

they have brochures for campwoodwind in the diner so makes sense they wanna keep up with it

campsites* i should say

[desert cedar]

do we know where the campsites are?

[fickle meteor]

probably the manager has a special interestestt in the paranormal and makes his employees listen about it XD

[desert cedar]

the diner is in arizona

[vestal ferry]

maybe somewhere along route 64. It is an interstate technically

[zinc coyote]

Found some stuff that might have a date.. But I think im gonna need to get in VR to look closely

[rain whale]

Ooooh~~~ Brownstone High School rework?

[vestal ferry]

but it is interesting that the Plant sale was going on when diner i guess just "poof" but we see no plants despite it being at Nell's DIner.

it woulda been in parking lot... but there is nothing.

[rotund wharf]

Hi everyone. Not sure this is the right spot to ask this but im having trouble with the money bags badge iv definitely spent 100k in game currency as I have the achievement I did the months ago and still haven't gotten the badge any tips tricks or know what else I have to do?? Thanks 😊

[sterile edge]

I've had a lot of friends with issues getting the Twitch drop badge and the Money Bags ID in their inventory after completing the requirements: are there confirmed issues with these atm or?

[vestal ferry]

-moneybags

[prime elk]

To obtain the Moneybags badge:

• You must have the "Break the Bank" Achievement
• Purchase an item in the shop
• Enter a contract
• Guess a ghost in the journal and leave via the truck
• Badge should be awarded!

[desert cedar]

which is funny because the I-64 is only in Arizona for like 10 miles before it turns into the I-160

my bad, 4 miles

[steady spruce]

YO I FOUND HOW TO FIX CURSOR, I had to enable alternate ports wtv that's for

[sterile edge]

Well we know how to get it: I got it but my console friends also have the achievement already and clicked the "collect" on Twitch for the badges but they havent shown up, even after playing multiple rounds and restarting the game/console

Which is why I'm curious if there's issues rn with people receiving it

[desert cedar]

maybe the campsite maps are in the santa fe national forests in New Mexico

that's very nearby the I-64, less than 50 miles

[rotund wharf]

Thanks to Harleen just now I did every step and just got the badge thank you @vestal ferry but im also console so maybe get them to follow every single step

[mellow ridge]

I had the same issue with the money bag you don't need to worry. I think there's a small glitches, but I got it after a couple games.

[unique kindle]

well the ghost in the machine badge was way too easy to get

[sterile edge]

I mean I guess but its still the issue of the Twitch drop: they watched 2 hours, and clicked "collect" in their inventory with their account linked and it hasnt shown.

[desert cedar]

classic twitch

[sterile edge]

i guess 🤷

[desert cedar]

usually it fixes itself if you keep reloading or just wait a little bit

[odd vale]

Make sure the correct twitch is connected.

[rotund wharf]

Or maybe get them to delete and reinstall Phas???

[zinc coyote]

Well the date in Nells Diner is def June 26.. But the year.. dunno

[desert cedar]

is there anything significant about june 26th?

[zinc coyote]

Not that I know of

25th I meant. Not 26

[vestal ferry]

Year seems to be kinda. Everywhere. Which is odd

But also kinda on par considering bleasedale, campsites, and even grafton

[desert cedar]

wait isn't june 26th the day that the supreme court in the us fully legalized gay marriage in like 2015? based af diner

[zinc coyote]

I mean I've seen places that still use old computers and crt's in modern times

Just saw that Nell's is on route 64 too

[desert cedar]

it can be a pretty big secrity risk to upgrade stuff sometimes, don't fix what isn't broken kind of deal

[vestal ferry]

Its still not super common to go that long without something though. Expesically the pricing and other context clues that time isnt always linear here.

[vestal ferry]

At least when ghosts are involved

[desert cedar]

that's why there's a bug in microsoft excel that's super niche, but it doesn't get fixed because there's probably some really old computers using microsoft xl and would break itself if that bug got fixed

[vestal ferry]

Yeah but small businesses like this dont run enterprise things. They run usually personal licenses since its 1-3 computers typically.

[desert cedar]

which is odd, because it's in arizona, but route 64 is barely in arizona, literally only like 4 miles of it at the tail end before it transitions into a different interstate number

[vestal ferry]

Could explain campsite brochures there.

[desert cedar]

I mean, it could also just be marketing

[vestal ferry]

Just another tourist location on the long line of ones.

[desert cedar]

like "we're only 20 miles away from route 64, that's enough to be put on our marketing stuff"

[wet compass]

hey guys. whats the code to the safe?

[vestal ferry]

Fire safety course brochures too.

[desert cedar]

americans desperately need fire safety brochures, that's for sure

[wet compass]

i got to 000047 before i gave up

[vestal ferry]

Use UV to find first clue.

[zinc coyote]

No way they have a movie you can watch in the Diner area lol

[fickle meteor]

y

[vestal ferry]

Im gonna look into the fire extinguishers later. Those seem out of date.

[vestal ferry]

Yes. :3 its public domain

[desert cedar]

god bless the public domain

[zinc coyote]

[lusty flax]

I THOUGHT I HAD THE APOC 3 RUN DOWN, NOT ONLY WAS IT A MIMIC. MY GAME CRASHED AFTER

[desert cedar]

I wish the jukebox had more than one song

[lusty flax]

and if i raid the KG servers rn

[desert cedar]

like just 3 would've been fine tbh

[desert cedar]

truly tragic

[odd vale]

Don’t. Thank you.

[lusty flax]

well if you say so

[desert cedar]

asked so nicely

[lusty flax]

😬

[odd vale]

[desert cedar]

is there any way to make the game brighter, but not like cheating brighter, but without using the nvidia filters? I don't want to install that software

[rain whale]

Mama Mezzooooooo

[rain whale]

Grian gone live like a couple of days ago when Nell's Diner is out. I don't know if Impulse will also go live soon.

[odd vale]

Friday is possibility

[rain whale]

Ooohhhh Phasmo Friday

[odd vale]

We shall see

[wet compass]

i just seached like the entire diner and haveount found anything, please give me another hint🙏

[desert cedar]

use the UV in the manager's office. It's small

[wet compass]

ahh ok i found it

thank you

[vestal ferry]

I watched my gf search for 30 minutes. I gave her 0 hints. She passed it 9 times before finally catching the glimpse

While she did that i was bullying an oni

[plain violet]

does anyone know if the cctv cams in the managers office actually are live feed / will they see your friends or orbs on them?

[lusty flax]

they are! i remember seeing orbs on them

[desert cedar]

you can definitely see orbs

[plain violet]

oh thats a nice lil feature

[desert cedar]

I would assume you can see your friends, that would be really easy to test

[plain violet]

i always look at them but never seen any orbs in them

ig im just unlucky or miss them

[desert cedar]

you could arguably find a ghost that way too, if you get crazy lucky and get an obake shapeshift or something while it's on the cams

[wet compass]

i feel so dumb cuz i cant find what to use those with😭 could you give me the room where i should use the ||arrows|| at?

[desert cedar]

well it's only on two rooms technically, and a 1/3~ chance to even have orbs, less if you're on nightmare

[lusty flax]

i always ||put in the safe code and steal the credit card || (nells diner puzzle spoilers)

[desert cedar]

it's tough. the arrows are your clue. Look for up, down, and right

[wet compass]

this just confused me even more lol

[desert cedar]

look around the environment. it'll point the way

[vestal ferry]

You can see orbs on them.

[vestal ferry]

Start from where you began and look carefully.

And i do mean from where you began. As in truck

[topaz star]

What a shade

[green crypt]

How did i lost my red moon achievement

[odd vale]

You mean the card?

[lunar heart]

Is it weird to see my friend is on apocalypse weekly challenge instead of Nell Diner weekly challenge?

[neon tree]

Finally got the money bags badge 😎 btw am i allowed to make a vc to play phas with people here?

[wheat garden]

I wanna play phas

[zinc coyote]

Yes, but I think you need to be here for 24 hours to create a vc

[vestal ferry]

Means friend didn't update somehow

[odd vale]

You can use the custom VCs to make a VC still

[nova rapids]

Is the ghost always in the staff hallway in challange mode?

[neon tree]

Oooooh!

[vestal ferry]

Any room is possible

Except foyer

[wheat garden]

its just staff hallway looks insanely common

[vestal ferry]

Its just rng

And since the staff rooms are tiny a ghost will roam into the hallways often

[neon tree]

Who ever keeps wishing the goryo on me is gonna pay 😂

[magic tiger]

Bruh they could've made the cop car crash into Nells diner with a special ghost interaction that triggers the cops siren.

[wet compass]

my friend told me to put the ||credit card into the atm but it doesnt work am i being trolled||

[prisma sonnet]

have people fixed no cursor glitch yet?

[zinc coyote]

Use the place button

[neon tree]

its fixable i also had that issue i got it to work

[magic tiger]

Fingers cracks down to 1 finger

[prisma sonnet]

how

[neon tree]

EVIL EVIL EVIL

[prisma sonnet]

I've done the opacity thing already

still no results

[desert cedar]

I feel like that's gonna be a common thing tbh

[neon tree]

Dm me ill help ya

[wet compass]

thanks for the help

[lunar heart]

But he already on update game as he was in my host game and played new map Nell diner together

[odd vale]

If your cursor/highlight cursor, opacity and size (as well as player colors) are not saving in the game after clicking APPLY and you have the “optimize game automatically” in NVIDIA turned off then please load into a contract and adjust them there. Please make sure to report this issue into #bug-reports - thank you!

[near crypt]

any news on when actual gameplay updates are coming?

[vestal ferry]

Nells diner just launched.

We had the media update earlier this year

[near crypt]

ye gameplay updates tho not mapslop

[humble tundra]

its not map slop

[vestal ferry]

[sage flower]

Tanglewood rework + character customization before the end of the year

[humble tundra]

doubt it

[vestal ferry]

Media update was gameplay

[near crypt]

6 months ago zzzz

it hasnt really aged amazingly either, just more tedious than the old photo system

[jade skiff]

Anyone else having issues with the twitch drop badge unlocking (pops up saying it's unlocked in the menu), but not appearing?
(Restarting game fixed the issue)

Nowhere to be found in my badges

[humble tundra]

you mean the old photo system where you just spam photos of stepped in salt?

[odd vale]

Check from a single player lobby @jade skiff

[vestal ferry]

Cool. You dont have to use it. But theres a reason gameplay hasnt been changed much. The loop is nearly perfect as is. The foundation of the game is the gameplay.

[jade skiff]

I did, still not there unfortunately. Is it not a common issue atm?
(Restarting the game made it show up. Apologies for the ping!)

[near crypt]

you could cheese it if you wanted to

[odd vale]

I’m not sure how much. Send a DM to @violet nova if you’ve verified you have the Twitch connected to the Phas game

[near crypt]

im pretty sure they are rewriting lots of code to try and make new horror elements work, but wow its taking forever

[humble tundra]

its hard to make phasmophobia scarier I guess

[drifting badge]

can agree with this needing to get everthing to not be a dupe makes the entire game feel so boring since youve gotta wait like 10 mins for the ghost to do somthing
