Update 1.9.0.0 ( Apocalypse part 1 )

Ghost Exile - The Beginning of the End Hello hunters! The boundary between our world and what hides on the other side has become thinner. Darkness no longer just waits in the corners. It learns. It adapts. It breaks the familiar rules and makes even experienced hunters doubt ever

Ghost Exile - The Beginning of the End

Hello hunters! The boundary between our world and what hides on the other side has become thinner.

Darkness no longer just waits in the corners. It learns. It adapts. It breaks the familiar rules and makes even experienced hunters doubt every step.

This update opens a new chapter for - "Apocalypse". You can expect a reworked Insane difficulty, progression for additional content, a new modular tutorial, lobby updates, a new map, and much more.

A Insane is someone who is not afraid of death.

The "Insane" difficulty has received not only visual changes, but also a major gameplay rework.

Now it is no longer just about higher risks and a more aggressive ghost. This is a mode where familiar tools begin to fail, protective items require more attention, and many old habits can cost you your life.

Tool	Changes
Candle	The candle now burns out faster. You will need to use it more carefully, and only where it is truly needed.
Crucifix	The crucifix no longer stops a hunt instantly. When activated, it creates a force barrier that slows the ghost down, while the hunt fully ends a few seconds later.
Directional microphone	The directional microphone can malfunction. Its readings can no longer be considered fully stable.
EMF	EMF signals now have a center. To get the maximum possible reading, you don’t just need to detect activity — you must find its exact location.
Energy drink	It has become more dangerous with frequent use. If you drink more than one energy drink, your base stamina is reduced by 15%.
Incense	Incense no longer activates instantly. You now need to hold the button, wait for it to fully burn, and only then will the effect take place.
Notebook	The notebook now only works in the ghost’s favorite room.
PEK	The PEK signal is now mobile. It can shift, making it harder to find the correct spot and requiring more attention.
Photo camera	The photo camera now has a limit of 3 charges.
Pills	Pills no longer restore sanity instantly. Sanity is now restored gradually over 60 seconds.
Radio	There is no longer a direct notification showing that a ghost response has been received. You will need to listen more carefully and determine on your own whether contact has been made.
Spray Paint	The paint spray can now has 3 charges.
Temperature	Negative temperatures can now appear everywhere until the boiler is turned on.
Video Camera	The video camera may occasionally malfunction. Expect interference and unstable operation.
Voice recorder	On “Apocalypse” difficulty, voice recorder icons are no longer displayed.
Urn	The incense urn now works slower and restores less sanity.

Additional content progression

We continue to develop additional content and make it more detailed and refined. In the future, some mechanics related to additional content will have upgrade levels. The higher the level, the more dangerous and difficult encounters with the supernatural will become - but the rewards will also match the risk.

Shadow world

The Shadow World now has a level system. Play with the Shadow World enabled to increase your additional content level and unlock new challenges.

Level 1

At level 1, the Shadow World works as you are used to.

Level 2

Shadows become more dangerous. They leave behind darkness that slows hunters, and also introduce a new mystery.

Level 3

It unlocks a new variant of the Shadow World. This is not just a difficulty increase of a familiar mechanic, but a deeper and more dangerous immersion into a space where old rules no longer apply.

This is only the tip of the iceberg. Most of the additional content will, in the future, gain a level system.

New modular tutorial

A new tutorial has been added to the game. It is now modular, allowing players to better understand individual mechanics instead of receiving all the information as one large block. This should help newcomers learn the basics faster, while experienced players can refresh their knowledge on specific topics.

At the moment, only a few modules have been added, covering the basics from interaction to exorcism. In future updates, new detailed modules will be added for every aspect of the game.

The place where it all began...

Once a sealed M.O.S.F.M. laboratory. The place where the door between worlds was opened, and the people who worked there brought a terrible threat upon our world.

But the laboratory is not simply abandoned. Something inside is still waiting. Something remembers everyone who opened that door.

Updated lobbies — the final touches before...

A new visual style (this time final) for the lobbies has been added to the game, and it is not just a cosmetic change — it is a sign of upcoming customization. Customization of rooms and some lobbies in full.

We plan to make it as free as possible. You will be able to decide what goes where and how, to make your own space as unique as possible.

Motel

Bunker

Cabin

Once available only to a select few, it is now open to everyone. The legendary hunter Bobby left it to our organization after his death.

We are also preparing a Supporter Pack, which will include additional lobby customization items, new visual styles for the character and the rover. For those who would like to support the development of the game.

Updated appearance

As we mentioned in the dev blog, the elderly male ghost models have been reworked.

And the new energy drink model has also been updated.

Hello Hunters,
Today we'd like to give you a small glimpse into the update our team has been working on. This is the first dev blog in a series where we'll share development progress, upcoming features, and improvements currently in the works.
New Difficulty — Madness
The "Insane" difficulty is being completely reworked and will now be called Madness.
Our goal is to make this difficulty far more tense and unpredictable. Several gameplay mechanics will behave differently, forcing players to adapt and stay alert.
For example:
the Crucifix will no longer activate instantly
the Directional Microphone may occasionally malfunction
some ghost interactions will become less predictable
Additionally, every map will receive unique visual changes when played on Madness difficulty, emphasizing the increased danger and atmosphere.
Equipment Updates
We're also updating several equipment models used during investigations.
More details about these changes will be shown in upcoming dev blogs, but for now we'd like to share a first look at the updated energy drink model.
Ghost Model Rework
We've heard your feedback regarding the new Grandfather Ghost model. Many players felt that it wasn't as frightening as it could be.
Taking this feedback into account, we've reworked the model to make it darker, more atmospheric, and closer to the original vision.
New Map — Laboratory
Work is also progressing on a brand new map — The Laboratory.
Players will be able to explore one of the research facilities operated by M.O.S.F.M. and uncover the experiments that were conducted there… and what ultimately went wrong.
Shadow World Updates
Alongside these changes, we're currently developing new gameplay mechanics and additional content.
We'll go into more detail about these systems in future dev blogs. For now, here's a small preview of changes happening within the Shadow World.
Thank you for following the development of the game.
We'll see you in the next dev blog.

Greetings, hunters — the Halloween event has come to an end. Ahead of us are the New Year, a new update, and of course, a festive event!
But let’s get back to the present.
With the conclusion of the Halloween event, we've prepared a small update that fixes numerous issues, improves overall stability, and introduces a new ghost — so you won’t get bored while waiting for the upcoming New Year update.
Illusio
Its presence feels like a shiver through reality itself: the outlines of objects warp, extra silhouettes flicker at the edge of your vision. It feels as if someone is standing right behind you, even when the room is empty. Those who have encountered Illusio say the world begins to lie to you — and it becomes impossible to tell what was real and what was only an illusion.
Level 1 – The entity does not appear on camera when viewed through the laser projection.
Level 3 – When photographed during a hunt, the entity appears only as a shadow.
Level 5 – During a hunt, the entity spawns several copies of itself — illusions that slow the player down. While the illusions are active, the real entity moves more slowly.
The photography system has been reworked, ensuring that photos taken by you and your teammates now look as similar as possible, while also reducing the system’s overall impact on your PC’s performance.
We’ve also added an arcade machine to the lobby.
Each play costs 1 coin, and you now need to collect far fewer coins to win than before.
As rewards, you can receive:
free spins on other machines (2 for the price of 1),
as well as a random bonus if you’re lucky!
Other changes:
Fixed an issue where an incorrect number of coins was displayed when resetting a perk branch.
Resetting perks now returns 90% of the coins spent.
Adjusted the appearance of chains for Hiroku Level 5.
Incense now works until it fully burns out, instead of triggering only once when activated.
Fixed an issue where a photo of a favorite item would not be counted.
Fixed an issue where the tripod camera could take multiple photos of the ghost during a hunt.
Adjusted rover movement — it will now get stuck far less often when turning.
You can now retrieve any items from the rover at any time.
Southwest Blvd: fixed a wardrobe.
Gate C: fixed the offering interaction in the Western Building room.
Fixed an issue where the ghost could get stuck and be unable to move after using the crawling mode.
Fixed an issue where using the resurrection artifact would send the player back to the lobby in solo mode.
Fixed an issue causing Shinigami Level 3 to function incorrectly.
Phobias no longer work during hunts.
Phobias no longer work when additional content (document search) is disabled.
Increased the activation chance of Amanojaku Level 5’s ability.
The Keeper of the Shadow Realm now ignores the player for the first 3 seconds after appearing.
Reduced thunder volume in the house.
Claustrophobia no longer pushes items under beds or tables.
Added a sound amplification setting.
Fixed an issue with incense appearing inside the player model’s stomach.
Reiki and Revenant now accelerate footstep sounds and animations.
Fixed an issue where the player could “fly” on certain items when interacting with them.
Incompatible clothing pieces are now marked instead of being hidden.
Fixed an issue where removing clothing in the wardrobe did not work correctly.
Fixed a critical issue where the ghost could drop an item during OCD behavior.
Fixed an issue where the ghost with OCD could fail to return an item to its correct place.
Successful offering can no longer be performed more than once.
The ghost and its clones can no longer see the player in the Shadow Realm.
Fixed an issue where the trap seal barrier was not visible.
Private lobbies are now visible in the search list; public lobbies will always appear first.
Fixed an issue where the audio mode did not switch correctly.
ChaosTricks: added a small delay between event activations.
ChaosTricks: the system can now trigger multiple hunts in a row instead of only one.
Fixed an issue on the Museum map where the ghost was unable to reach the hunter.
Fixed an issue where the ghost would not always crawl out of the seal during exorcism.
Fixed an issue where the ghost with OCD could fail to carry an item from another room to the boundary of the favorite room.

All Hallows’ Eve is drawing near, and we’ve run into (you’ve run into) more trouble. Remember Timmy? Yeah — that little rascal who steals candy and dances like nobody’s watching. Well, he’s been kidnapped! A ghostly faction has captured him and sealed him inside an ancient artifact — the “Cage of Judgment.” Friends, we have to set him free!
Unlocking the “Cage of Judgment” won’t be easy — brute force definitely won’t work.
Timmy is trapped in the Hill Oak Cemetery.
But the path to him is blocked not only by the Cage — first, you’ll have to make your way into the cemetery itself. You’ll need to beat one of the ghosts’ records in Ghost Chaser.
Solve riddles, uncover hidden clues, and prove your skills as an exorcist to reach the little one and set him free.
— Eddie, do you remember that alley where we first encountered that incredibly powerful entity?
— Of course. I almost died back then… It was right after our first successful exorcism. I still remember how it twisted that poor guy like a matchstick…
It’s hard to say for sure now whether the first portal opened at that very spot, but the intersection of 59th and Park Avenue was undoubtedly one of the first places where those twisted creatures were seen — and where many lives were lost...
A few changes
The distance to the visual simplification of the tool has been adjusted.
Fixed a bug where an invisible object could appear in hallways and doorways.
Fixed a bug where the scaling algorithm could be enabled even if it was turned off in the settings.
"Viy" now activates the level 3 unique ability with a single clue, even if it is not a "laser projection"
Reduced the selection area for stamps in the 'Spray Can' interface to prevent potential misselection of the wrong stamp.
Added the ability to open the Steam profile from the 'Esc' menu.

Fixed a bug where the rover moved too slowly.

"But what if he is not alone? What if we banished the wrong one... And the one who nurtures hatred in his heart is still there, huh?"
Well then, greetings, hunters. I won’t introduce myself — I am the one who coordinates the actions of the headquarters, squads, and even lone operatives.
The matter is important, so let’s get straight to the point.
Who were they in life...
Don’t bother looking for a passport — it’s not there.
With the "Document Search" content enabled, you will now receive a stack of case files on people who once died in this building.
Your task is to find, among them, the one who truly poses a threat.
Find out how he died...
You will now be able to learn how the entity lost its life.
To do this, a new Seal has been added to your arsenal — it allows you to visualize the ghost.
From there, it’s up to you to recognize the signs and determine in what form death came to this person.
Understand what he feared...
Everyone fears something — and even in death, that fear clings to its owner.
Your journal contains descriptions of every phobia. Study them all and, following our specialists’ guidelines, determine what the dangerous entity so desperately fears.
Take everything into your own hands
We’ve added a new mechanic that allows you to drag certain objects in the rooms.
This will help you identify some phobias (and, of course, just for fun).
When you hover over an item, a distinct icon will appear.
Remember: your hands must be empty.
This is his possession
-Additionally, the case file will include a description of the ghost’s favorite possession (if the corresponding content is enabled).
- You will first receive a general description of the item category, and then — 8 minutes later — a description of the specific item.
Note: These descriptions are intentionally broad. Read them carefully before drawing conclusions.
Potential favorite items are now cursed.
You won’t be able to take them out of the house or photograph them until you break the curse.
Here’s a short course from yours truly on how to act in such situations:
Study the case file and determine the item’s category.
Wait eight minutes to receive the exact description of the item (there are plenty of files to keep you busy meanwhile).
Locate the favorite item based on the description.
Break the curse binding the item using the UV flashlight.
Remember: this is always a risk. The moment you shine the light, the Hunt phase will begin.
Burn away the curse gradually, surviving the dangerous periods. The ghost will head directly to the spot where the curse is being burned.
Make sure you’ve chosen the right item — photos or activity can help confirm it.
Finally, burn the favorite item.
Try to escape the deadly trap
Meet “Hiroku” — an entity that can turn your life into hell.
In the desolate corridors of abandoned buildings, you can hear the sinister scraping of claws, and the sounds around it twist unnaturally — as if turned inside out.
Fear not just the chilling terror of its presence, but the moment you become bound by it
This is the gateway to hell...
Gate A, Gate B, and Gate C — multiple entrances to what was once a vast complex of industrial zones.
These buildings were abandoned long before it all began, but even when they were "alive," this place claimed souls: accidental deaths at work, and later — a silent refuge where no one would hear the screams.
All of this has shaped a sinister aura around the area. And what else, if not that, would draw unwanted attention from the other side?
Gate A
Gate B
Gate C
After the rework, District has been split into three smaller maps.
Whether that’s for better or worse — that’s for you to decide!
More information
The reward screen after completing a contract has been reworked, and now provides more detailed information.
In addition to the ghost type, you will now see its name, level, and the contract duration.
Reward details have also been expanded: earnings from photos, objectives, and additional content are now displayed separately.
And there’s also some extra information included.
So what was fixed?
Fixed a bug where Doppler and Pishachi did not create their clones on the corresponding levels.
Fixed a potential crash caused by the curtain in the lobby.
Fixed a synchronization bug with favorite items where the host could see the item but the client could not.
Fixed the ability of Pyru at level one.
Greenwood St.: Removed the ability to climb onto the beam near the stairs.
Fixed a bug where the path to the portal could lead through a wall on the Diner map.
So what was changed?
Astaroth’s Seal now has a chance to trigger (50%).
The Ouija Board now has a chance to spawn on the map (100%, 55%, 45%, 35% depending on difficulty level).
