Hello Ghost Hunters,
It's been a while since the last update. Life got in the way, but I never stopped thinking about the game. I've been working on a bunch of improvements behind the scenes, and I'm happy to finally bring them to you.
This update focuses on making investigations more intense and unpredictable. Ghosts now have new unique abilities, your sanity can play tricks on you, and the difficulty balance has been reworked. On top of that, I've fixed voice recognition, added full gamepad support, and corrected translations across all 9 languages.
Thank you for sticking around and for all the feedback. It really means a lot.
Hallucination System
New hallucination system that triggers based on your sanity level
Three tiers of hallucinations: whispers, fake ghost activity with flickering lights, and fake hunt warnings
The lower your sanity, the more frequent and intense the hallucinations become
Ghost Abilities
Ghosts now have new unique abilities that change how they behave
Territorial ghosts only hunt from their favorite room
Shy ghosts won't hunt while you're watching on CCTV
Camera shy ghosts react when you photograph them
Cursing ghosts (Moroi) drain your sanity faster while you're cursed
Shapeshifter ghosts (Obake) can swap an evidence type after 3 minutes
Persistent ghosts (Spirit) have longer hunts but move slower during them
Electric ghosts speed up near electricity
Electronic ghosts speed up when you're on the computer
Difficulty Rebalance
Nightmare difficulty is now significantly harder: faster hunts, more aggressive ghosts, less evidence
Grace period added at the start of each investigation, no hunts can occur during this time (varies by difficulty from 2 minutes on Easy to 15 seconds on Nightmare)
After 8 minutes, hunt checks become more frequent
Sanity recovery in light increased from 0.05 to 0.12
Evidence durations on Nightmare reduced (UV, Cold, Laser, Orbs: 15s instead of 20s)
Voice Recognition Fixes
Fixed voice recognition not working properly — microphone initialization and language model loading have been corrected
Voice commands are now case-insensitive
Added crash protection when microphone is unavailable or disconnected
Gamepad Support
Full gamepad/controller support for navigating menus and in-game UI
D-pad grid navigation for UI panels with selection memory
Virtual cursor for aiming with controller
Freezing interaction now works with gamepad
Translation Fixes
Fixed translation errors across all 9 languages
Corrected wrong translations in Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Russian, and German
Fixed "Sanity" being mistranslated as "Health" in some languages
Fixed truncated text in CJK languages
Other Improvements
Door colliders now update dynamically when doors open and close
Weather system crash fix when audio clips are missing
Various crash fixes and null safety improvements throughout the game
Automatic system language detection on first launch
