Dear Steam Community,

As most of you know by now, my PC is currently in for repairs.

I’m trying to keep things moving on my old gaming laptop, but working in Unreal Engine 5 on a GTX 1060 with 8GB of RAM is… rough. However, after hours and hours trying to get this laptop somewhere, I was able to export a update build after 15 hours of building within the engine.

This is the following patch notes for version 0.7.2.2:

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue where you could not join the first lobby that appeared in the lobby browser.

• Fixed a bug where you would not receive the Perfect Run achievement after completing the requirements.

• Fixed an issue where the ghost would not move around correctly within Willow Creek Cottage.

• Fixed a bug where the player could get stuck on a thrown object.

• Fixed an issue where the camera could quickly rotate and snap when colliding with objects.

Changes

• Updated ghost orbs to use round circular particles instead of rectangular ones.

• Adjusted how quickly the ghost blinks during hunts.

Balancing

• Reduced the ghost speed across all difficulties.

Known Issue

• There are currently a few models within the tutorial that are missing textures.

However, that also means the updates that got backtracked are also now into play, which means the following changes are also in the game:

Added

• 5x new achievements

  • 'In Too Deep'

  • 'Halfway to Insanity'

  • 'Eternal Investigator'

  • 'Perfect Run'

  • 'We don't talk about it'

• Added a player profile setting on the laptop’s main screen, where you can view rounds played and more

Ghosts

I am currently working on a complete overhaul of ghost AI to include far more behaviours, dynamic scares, and additional depth. While that update is still in progress, I have introduced some improvements to the current ghosts to make them more engaging in the meantime.

• Every ghost now has at least one unique trait

• All ghost descriptions in the Ghost Wiki have been rewritten to explain these new traits clearly

Changes

• Hunt sounds now have directional audio so you can tell if the ghost is close or far

• Redesigned the Ghost Wiki menu

• Redesigned the evidence search index

• Redesigned the evidence selection screen

• Made obtaining the laser grid slightly harder.

• Made door closing sounds easier to hear.

• Made the sound of the entrance door slamming shut during a hunt louder.

• Improved voice recognition for dowsing rods.

• Slightly increased the candle’s light intensity.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a bug where dropping the dowsing rods immediately after hearing “yes” would prevent scrolling or selecting new items

• Fixed an issue where dowsing rods would not play for other players.

• Fixed a bug where you could obtain the spirit box outside the house.

• Fixed a bug where you could light a candle outside the house.

• Fixed a bug where a hunt could start while being dragged.
