Phasmophobia (Video Game)	comment	Phasmophobia is a cooperative horror game released on September 18th, 2020 by Kinetic Games. Paranormal activity is on the rise and it’s up to you and your team to use a wide variety of ghost hunting equipment (high tech items like cameras and sensors alongside more traditional methods like ghostwriting and salt) at your disposal in order to gather as much evidence as you can, as a "vanguard" team ahead of the exorcism team to identify what exactly they are up against.The game is notable for having players use their own microphones to communicate to both to their teammates and to the ghost itself as well as making use of several ghost hunting tools to identify the entity through physical evidence and behavioral patterns. There is no scripting, and no two ghosthunts will go the exact same way. The game takes many inspirations from real life Paranormal Investigation television shows like the USA's Ghost Hunters and the UK's Ghost Hunting with..., although it should be noted that the ghosthunters in this case can very easily become the hunted.The game is available on Steam as an Early Access title. On June 13, 2023, it was announced to be receiving console ports for the Xbox Series X\|S and PlayStation 5.

This ghost can be poked as much as desired, but won't start any hunts (but may still try to scare the player), and allows the player to see how the equipment works. There's also a TV that describes the process for identifying the ghost, going through each equipment piece or step.

Phasmophobia (Video Game) / int_1915143f	comment	Epileptic Flashing Lights: The game does have a warning about it using flashing lights, so this does count for the trope, though it's hardly as offensive as some in the horror genre like to employ flickering to signal a paranormal event to an audience. There are times flashlights and overhead lights will flicker, but most people will be fine (the warning is more of the Staying Out of Legal Trouble aspect than anything else).

Phasmophobia (Video Game) / int_192d04d5	type	Mutually Exclusive Magic
Phasmophobia (Video Game) / int_192d04d5	comment	Mutually Exclusive Magic: Some types of evidence are mutually exclusive, as in, no ghost will leave both of them, though later updates have lessened this significantly, as more ghosts are added who do produce both types: Poltergeists used to be the only ghost in the entire game who would leave both Ghost Orbs and Fingerprints, meaning that they could be identified without needing to find the third piece of evidence. This was changed with the addition of the Hantu, who also leaves both. The first 16 ghosts in the game in the game could have either Freezing Temperatures or Spirit Box (or neither) as evidence, but not both, meaning that if players could see their breaths (indicating subzero temps), they wouldn't need to bother checking a Spirit Box at all, or vice versa. This is no longer the case as of the Nightmare Update, which added the Onryo and The Twins, both of which do use both, and then the holiday update added The Mimic, which also uses both. Still, this does mean that if you find freezing temps and hear Spirit Box voices, you can narrow it down, and it's quite easy to figure out from there which ghost you're dealing with. None of the first 16 ghosts could produce both Ghost Orbs and EMF readings of 5, again meaning that once players found one of these, they didn't need to bother checking for the other. This, too, changed in the Nightmare Update with the additions of the Raiju and Obake, though finding this evidence pair likewise allows you to narrow it down. The Thaye and the Deogen are the only ghosts that produce both D.O.T.S and Ghost Writing, meaning with only two pieces of evidence, you can effectively pare down the entire list of ghost types to a 50-50 choice. The aversion of this can be a huge relief on difficulty presets or custom runs where evidence is limited - if a ghost has a unique evidence, like Mimic ghost orbs, Goryo D.O.T.S or Obake handprints, they will be forced on. This can result in a second or third evidence showing up instead of the 1 or 2 limited evidences, solving the ghost instantly.

Rather, it's one ghost that has a much wider area of wandering and will interact with two objects at once to give the illusion of there being two ghosts present, as well as having two hunting speeds to make it seem like there's a faster and slower twin.

Phasmophobia (Video Game) / int_2ae29c0d	type	The Dreaded
Phasmophobia (Video Game) / int_2ae29c0d	comment	The Dreaded: Some ghost types are this in the community: Demons are very aggressive ghosts that can hunt early and often, or in extremely rare cases, as soon as the players enter the haunted location. Deogens are a downplayed example in that while, for experienced players, they are relatively simple to deal with on hunts due to its very slow speed when it gets near someone, novice players or players unfamiliar with evasion or "looping" (getting an object between the ghost and player and playing keep away until the hunt is over) get killed often, because unlike every other ghost in the game, it always knows where the players are on the map, making hiding from it completely pointless. Revenants are very slow when nobody is in their line of sight... But once someone enters their line of sight, they can move faster than players can at their fastest. As a result, they have consistently been dreaded by players. Raiju are enraged by having electronics in their presence (leading to them hunting earlier and being faster when hunting)... and almost all evidence gathering requires the use of electronics. As a result, it is very easy to accidentally anger a Raiju by forgetting to turn off electronics that players are not using — and to make matters worse, this also applies to electronics dropped on the floor. And since players who die drop all their equipment on the floor, this can result in a brutal feedback loop where the dropped electronics anger it until it hunts again shortly after. To many players, a Raiju is considered more dangerous than a Demon because of this behavior.

Phasmophobia (Video Game) / int_2c77fae3	type	Darkness Equals Death
Phasmophobia (Video Game) / int_2c77fae3	comment	Darkness Equals Death: Besides dealing with a Jinn, ghost attacks will usually be heralded by either a total blackout or the lights flickering uncontrollably. However, with the exception of the aforementioned Jinn, ghost activity is usually higher in the dark, which makes it easier to witness paranormal events. Also inverts the trope as well: standing in light all the time will anger a ghost, making it more likely to initiate a Hunt. In order to get your investigation completed safely, you will need to stand around in the dark. Mares (who are faster in the dark) and Hantu (who are faster in cold environments… and switching off the lights tends to cool a place down, and on Professional, the investigation site starts off with the breaker box off (so no lights) and the rooms at cool temperatures) are also more dangerous when the lights are off than they are when the lights are on.

Phasmophobia (Video Game) / int_37fcf16	comment	Death Is Cheap: Mostly averted: dying means that you lose all the gear you brought with you on the level. If you're playing on Amateur or Intermediate hunts, you do get some money back as insurance (50% and 25% of the lost item values, respectively), but Professional doesn't give you anything. You also can't successfully complete the investigation, even if you figure out the ghost, so you lose any money from objectives. However, while dead, you do get to see the house in much clearer vision, as well as the location of the ghost at all times; you can't talk to your teammates in-game when you're dead, but there's nothing preventing you from talking to them on Discord or something similar.

Phasmophobia (Video Game) / int_409d3c07	comment	Advancing Boss of Doom: Ghosts would previously move at a set pace that would not change. This meant players would be able to effectively loop them around or just run without much danger of getting caught as the ghosts would be just slightly slower than the player's walking speed. This was changed in a major update though, and now the ghost's speed will continuously ramp up so long as they have line of sight, making such tactics a death sentence, as they will eventually catch you. Note, however, that several of the ghosts can outpace the investigators quite swiftly under certain circumstances, such as the Revenant when it has a line of sight to a player or a Raiju when near electrical equipment, meaning you had best find a hiding spot quickly.

Phasmophobia (Video Game) / int_46eb0f90	type	Supernatural Repellent
Phasmophobia (Video Game) / int_46eb0f90	comment	Supernatural Repellent: Two of the optional tools help to prevent the ghost from attacking. Crucifixes are the most powerful, but the hardest to use: ghosts that are within 3 meters (5 meters for Demons) of a crucifix (on the ground or in-hand) will not start a hunt. If the ghost is already on an active hunt, or if it isn't close enough to the crucifix when it started, it does absolutely nothing. Smudge sticks have a larger area of effect and prevent ghosts from beginning a hunt, while also limiting their movement and making them slightly more active. If used while the ghost is hunting they completely lose track of you to the point you can walk through them, which can buy vital time to get to a hiding place and even save your life if you're cornered. They require a lighter to light, though, meaning two of your three inventory spots are occupied. Salt has a similar but stronger effect on Wraiths specifically, but doesn't affect the ghost while hunting.

Phasmophobia (Video Game) / int_5fe81fea	comment	Cursed Item: The December 10th, 2021 update brings four new cursed items, as well as revamping the Ouija Board and Voodoo Doll to be a cursed item. All of these items are photo opportunities and can help the player, but they can easily bring harm. The Summoning Pentagram, drawn in blood on the floor surrounded by candles. Lighting all of the candles forces the ghost to appear in a harmless state within the pentagram, making it easy to get photographs. However, once the 3 seconds ends, it immediately begins hunting. The Music Box, which will attract a ghost and make it sing. However, if it touches the box, it will begin a hunt, even killing the player immediately if they turn it on right near the ghost. The Tarot Cards, which have ten random effects, including setting off an immediate hunting, immediately killing the player, restoring sanity to 100 or reducing it to zero, or even resurrecting a dead team member. The Spirit Mirror, which, if turned on, reveals the ghost's room. However, it drains 8 sanity a second to look at it, and it will shatter if the player's sanity hits zero, immediately starting a hunt. The Voodoo Doll now has pins in it, and using it costs 10% sanity and forces the ghost to do an interaction. However, there is a 10% chance that the heart pin is stuck in, causing an immediate hunt. If the player using it has 10% sanity or lower, the hunt is guaranteed. The Ouija Board now never fails to answer a question, but it drains a lot of sanity for asking it about the ghost's room (Demons, however, still drain less, keeping their identifying marker), less sanity is drained for other questions like the ghost's age. The player must tell the board "goodbye" for it to shut off; leaving a board that is on immediately starts a hunt. A player can also ask the ghost to play hide and seek, which will start a countdown to a hunt (in addition to causing the board to catch fire and burn up, rendering it unusable for the rest of the round). The Monkey Paw will grant the user five wishes out of a set list. These wishes can be of great aid to the investigator in gathering evidence, evading the ghost, or trying to change the environment to be more advantageous for the investigators. However each wish comes with a unique consequence which can include sanity loss, trapping them in a room, giving the ghost bonuses, and almost all the wishes kick off a cursed hunt.

Phasmophobia (Video Game) / int_66479d0	type	Our Ghosts Are Different
Phasmophobia (Video Game) / int_66479d0	comment	Our Ghosts Are Different: Ghosts come in different classes and exhibit different behaviors and weaknesses. All ghosts, however, are frightening and hostile to the investigators. Spirits are the most "basic" ghosts with no particular strengths or behaviors. However, this same lack of distinctiveness can make them among the hardest ghosts to identify without hard evidence, as they can adopt a wide range of behaviors characteristic to other types. As usual, the longer it takes to identify a ghost, the more dangerous it gets. However, they do have one weakness that can be used to confirm their ghost type: burning a smudge stick in the vicinity of any other ghost type will prevent them from hunting for 90 seconds (1.5 minutes), while, for a Spirit, this instead works for twice as long, 180 seconds (3 minutes). Wraiths have the ability to teleport to players, described in the Journal as 'being able to see through walls'. They have unique behaviors around salt. They are described as being able to fly, resulting in them not touching salt at all. At the same time, salt will cause them to become more aggressive. Phantoms drain your Sanity if you look at them. Taking a photo of a Phantom will cause it to temporarily disappear, though this will not stop a Hunt that's already in progress, only delay it. Poltergeists are noisy and disruptive, and will manipulate the environment more frequently than any other type of ghost. This can cause players to lose Sanity if they are not directly witnessing the event. They also tend to be quite active outside of their Ghost Room. Prior to the addition of the Hantu and, much later, their evidence pieces being reworked, they were the only type of ghost that could be identified with just two pieces of evidence: finding Ghost Orbs and Fingerprints would guarantee that the ghost was a Poltergeist. Shades are noted for their shyness and will rarely perform any action in the presence of two or more people, forcing players to split up. They're very unlikely to start a Hunt if there's more than one person in the same room, but they have no problem immediately starting a Hunt as soon as everyone else leaves. Demons are extremely aggressive ghosts and attack very often, sometimes as soon as the player steps outside of the vannote Most ghosts require players to be below a certain sanity threshold before they can begin a hunt, but as a special ability Demons can begin to hunt no matter the sanity, even if every hunter is at 100% sanity, which can be a good way to identify it if you keep tabs on everyone's sanity levels . However, they are more easily repelled through the use of a crucifix note the effective range of the crucifix is increased to 5m instead of 3m- this means a Demon will be stopped from beginning a hunt if it is within 5m of a crucifix when it is supposed to begin hunting, whereas for other ghosts this radius is only 3m . Note however that just because a demon can be a aggressive doesn't mean it will due to the way the AI works; it's entirely possible to have a "shy" demon that is so passive it can throw off even a veteran player's intuition. Banshees are unique in that they fixate on a single player to the exclusion of all others until the target is dead or has left the building. While Banshees are very dangerous for the targeted player, if the team is able to deduce that they are dealing with a Banshee, they can take advantage of its fixation to gather evidence, secure in the knowledge that it doesn't care about the rest of the team. Banshees, true to their real life mythology, have a distinctive scream that can be picked up by the parabolic microphone. Jinn are empowered from having the power box on: they move much faster, allowing them to quickly "sprint" to a player's location during a hunt, and have the ability to sharply drain the sanity of nearby players. This makes them the only type of ghost where it's better to do most of the investigation in complete darkness, since it cannot "sprint" in darkness. Mares work best in the dark. They will turn off the lights and Fuse Box when they get the chance so that they may move faster and hunt more frequently in the dark. Keeping the lights on (particularly in its Ghost Room) is key to reducing its aggression. Mare have the unique ability of immediately turning the light off in its ghost room when you turn it on, so quickly that the light won't even come on for a second, which no other ghost can do. Onis are incredibly active ghosts, often performing more frequent interactions and events than any other. They also tend to be fully visible when they manifest. Oni are also incapable of the ghost event where they appear as a ball of smoke, or an "airball" event. Note that there are other events that they can do that can cause them to hiss in your ear, like chasing events. Revenants are usually quite slow, but move faster than the players while hunting, and unlike every other ghost, they can switch targets if another is closer by. That said, they will move much slower during a Hunt if they cannot maintain line-of-sight to a player, which makes hiding even more effective against them. Yurei behave much like a vanilla Spirit, but they have an ability to hit an investigator with a 15% sanity drain. They are particularly susceptible to smudge sticks, which have the unique effect of preventing the ghost from wandering in addition to their usual effect. Hantu are problematic on difficulties where the fuse box is turned off by default, which means the temperature will always be at colder levels. They are faster in cold environments, and if they hunt while the fuse box is off, odds are one of your teammates will get caught by it due to its increased speed. They are also more dangerous to encounter in snowing or raining weather, as the entire environment will be consistently lower temperature than normal unless there are heat sources nearby to warm it up. Yokai are unique in that they turn aggressive if players talk near them, allowing them to start hunts even at high sanity levels. However, they have the shortest hearing radius of all ghosts. The Goryo is difficult to detect, as it requires a D.O.T.S projector. It will also refuse to show itself on camera if anybody is currently near it, usually meaning a remote viewing setup would be required to record it. The trade-off is that it often doesn't wander far from its room, meaning once you locate its preferred spot, you can safely start to focus your evidence gathering around that area. Myling are all about the noises that they produce. They are often very loud and make paranormal noises when wandering, and a parabolic microphone will allow a hunter to track it quite easily. However, the trade-off is that Myling become silent when hunting. You will not hear its footsteps or growls while hunting until it is close enough to be a threat, which could make it a deadly ambush hunter. Onryo are spirits that are afraid of fire. Lighting a candle and holding it in the presence of an Onryo may immediately cause it to blow out the candle and prevent a hunt, acting as the Onryo's unique version of a crucifix, but after three candles are blown out the Onyro will become enraged and hunt regardless of sanity. This behavior can be exploited to prevent an Onryo hunting and reliably causing a hunt on the third candle can be an indicator of its identity. Obake are spirits that will only sometimes leave fingerprints when interacting with objects, but also has a chance to leave a unique six-fingered hand-print which will correctly identify it as an Obake, making the blacklight a crucial tool to detect it. Being shapeshifters, they may also change ghost models during a hunt. Raiju are ghosts that are empowered by electromagnetic energy. Whenever they hunt, their speed is boosted greatly if electronic equipment is left on in their vicinity. However, they often interfere with electronic devices so much while wandering that tracking them becomes a much easier task. Often you can tell where a Raiju is by what electronic devices in the area are currently showing paranormal activity. The Twins are a pair of ghosts that rely on misdirection. One twin will stay in the starting ghost room while the other can cause disturbances roaming around the area. They also react to different detection tools depending on if you find the stationary or roaming twin, which could lead investigators to incorrect or conflicting conclusions. However, their strength can be overcome by good teamwork and communication. If ghost hunting team members are experiencing two rooms with paranormal activity and keep each other aware of paranormal occurrences happening simultaneously in different areas, it can be relatively easy to nail down this ghost type. Twins have two different speeds while hunting (one faster, one slower) which, if a hunter is feeling confident enough to attempt to survive multiple hunts, can make them easy to discover without needing to worry about unique evidencenote other ghosts that change their speed will do so during the hunt itself, a drastic change in speed that only happens between hunts is a unique mechanic of the Twins.. The Mimic can copy the hunting behaviors of other ghosts and changes its hunting behavior randomly for each hunt. It is, however, the first ghost that can have a fourth evidence, as it also generates ghosts orbs in whatever room it is in in addition to the three primary evidences, which can make it easier to identify. Moroi are spirits that rely on sanity drain to grow stronger. It has a unique curse ability that can cause a sharp drop in sanity on a player witnessing a ghost event or when being hunted. Additionally, as the team's average sanity drops, it will become faster during hunts. True to the Moroi's mythology, it also has hyperosmia (an extremely sensitive sense of smell) that will make smudge sticks overwhelm its hunting senses, effectively blinding the spirit during a hunt for double the time of other ghosts. This makes sanity pills and smudge sticks must-have items when encountering Moroi to keep its speed and aggression in check. Deogen is constantly aware of the player's location at all times and is not affected by obstacles like doors, making them the first ever ghost in the game where hiding from it is completely useless. It essentially works like a reverse Revenant in that, when pursuing a player who is hiding or it otherwise doesn't have direct line-of-sight to, the Deogen moves at some of the fastest speeds in the game to get to them, meaning that players will have to exit their hiding places very quickly to avoid being killed there; the trade-off is that the Deogen takes a lot of energy to manifest its form, so once it does have line of sight, its speed goes down to a crawl, allowing players to simply loop and evade it until the hunt ends as long as they're not caught in a tight space. Deogen also have a unique Spirit Box response where instead of speaking back, it will breathe heavily and aggressively into the box, immediately identifying it (though they will still answer normally as well, so you may have to fish for a response if you suspect the ghost is one). The Thaye works like a reversed Shade in that it will be very active at first, but then become more reserved and shy as the investigation continues. The Thaye will trigger many ghost events and hunts early on in the investigation that investigators will have to quickly capitalize on, because afterwards these events and opportunities to capture supporting evidence will become fewer and further between. Thaye have an unique identifier of being able to "age" as the investigation goes on; if you ask them their age on an Ouija Board (assuming one is accessible) it might give a different age if you wait a few minutes and ask it again.

Inexperienced players may mistake this for a hunt and flee in fear, while experienced players can tell the difference between this scary bluff and a genuine hunt that puts lives in danger. The key is to look at the lights. If it's a hunt, they'll be flickering. If it's a bluff, they'll be steady.

The Wheel of Fortune also has a 50% chance of being this; if the card glows green when it burns up (instead of red), it raises the player's sanity by 25% instead of lowering it.

However, candles have the advantage of not being affected by Electromagnetic Ghosts, so they remain as a light source at all times. Unless the ghost blows it out. One very crucial advantage candles have over lights is they drastically slow your Sanity drain while you are holding one that is lit. You can also often find free candles scattered around the map, and though they blow out after a few minutes, you can easily relight them.

Phasmophobia (Video Game) / int_8ee83b3e	comment	Numerical Hard: The differences between Amateur, Intermediate, and Professional difficulty are based on how long certain things take. As the game has updated, professional difficulty has drifted away from this, though, with unique changes. Preparation Timenote The amount of time before a ghost can start being aggressive: five minutes on Amateur, two minutes on Intermediate, 0 seconds on Professionalnote yes, this means that the ghost can get aggressive immediately if you're particularly stupid and/or unlucky. Sanity Drain: Normal speed on Amateur, fifty percent faster on Intermediate, twice as fast on Professional. Cash Rewards: Normal on Amateur, twice as much on Intermediate, thrice as much on Professional. Experience Rewards: Normal on Amateur, fifty percent more on Intermediate, twice as much on Professional. Insurancenote How much money you lose from purchased equipment if you die: 50% of value is lost on Amateur, 75% of value is lost on Intermediate, 100% of value is lost on Professional. Hunt Phasenote How long a Hunt lasts: 25 seconds on Amateur, 35 seconds on Intermediate, 50 seconds on Professional.Explanation This is particularly insidious at lower sanity: the time between hunts is determined by sanity, with the minimum being 1 minute at 0% sanity. That's 1 minute from the end of the last Hunt phase, meaning that every two minutes, you could be hunted for half that time. Other changes on Professional: The board will no longer tell you if the ghost prefers players grouped up or alone. The AI is significantly smarter and more aggressive, and more likely to patrol where it last saw players to try to catch them doing it again. Ghosts also gain speed as long as the player is in sight to prevent looping. Also, houses start with their breakers turned off and at a low temperature, which means the breaker has to be switched and the lights left running for it to warm up enough to tell temperature dips from the thermometer. Averted in Nightmare difficulty. In addition to the challenges from Professional, the ghost killing a player no longer ends the hunt, meaning it can potentially cause a Total Party Kill. Additionally, one of the three pieces of evidence that identify a ghost will be suppressed on Nightmare, requiring players to figure out what kind of ghost is present based on its behavior. Finally, some of the van's equipment is smashed.

Cursed objects are a great way to capture paranormal evidence, find the ghost or its room, witness ghosts' events, and even set up easy opportunities for photos. However, using cursed objects comes at the cost of a large sanity drain, and when they are used at low sanity levels, can cause a cursed hunt which is much longer in duration than a regular hunt, makes the ghost extremely aggressive, and increases the duration of regular hunts afterward. The preparation phase timer is also no protection against invoking a hunt using one. If you're really determined to get a picture of the ghost, you can try intentionally causing a hunt, since they'll become visible at regular intervals while in hunting mode. Also works for the dirty water optional objective if the ghost doesn't normally hang out around sinks, since they'll chase players they spot.

When a ghost spots you, its walking speed is the same as your running speednote with some exceptions; see the entry for "Our Ghosts Are Different" above for more info. In other words, if you can see the ghost, the ghost can also see you, and you literally can't outrun a ghost.

Phasmophobia (Video Game) / int_9d73dfcc	comment	The All-Seeing A.I.: Before Willow Street House was added, the ghost was able to see through doors (other than lockers and closets) and furniture. After the update, colliding furniture and doors only serve as a line-of-sight blocker. Doors still don't block ghosts from going through them, thus a ghost could seem to still see through a door. One of the newest ghosts, however — specifically, the Deogen — permanently has line of sight on the player regardless of location, and must be looped, for it is impossible to hide from them. This is balanced out by having one of the worst speeds in the game when they are close to players.

Phasmophobia (Video Game) / int_bc74ef27	comment	Berserk Button: Saying certain things when speaking to the ghost via the in-game voice chat can cause it to become aggressive and anger it. Even the most passive types of ghosts will usually respond aggressively to their names being called. It's implied this causes them some form of pain, so they lash out to whoever's causing it.note The game actually encourages this to some extent as a way to get activity and allow you to get evidence or a clue to the type of ghost, as this is the easiest and most non-vulgar way to do so, though it poses obvious risks. Doing anything to telegraph that you're afraid of the ghostnote This can range from telling it outright that you're scared, or key phrases like "run!" or "Get out!" will make them noticeably more active. Ghosts really don't like it when they're being called names, particularly of the vulgar variety, as they get more aggressive than normal. Saying "Bloody Mary" also makes the ghost aggressive. Threatening a ghost with violence is another thing that causes the ghosts to get upset. Phrasing it more realistically and saying you're going to exorcise them also works.

Phasmophobia (Video Game) / int_c513249	type	Harder Than Hard
Phasmophobia (Video Game) / int_c513249	comment	Harder Than Hard: Recent updates have made the game more difficult, especially on Professional Difficulty, but arguably the worst offender is Nightmare Mode, and for good reason, since the ghost won't just stop at one victim per hunt anymore. Basically, either you find out what kind of ghost you're dealing with quickly and pray to god the ghost doesn't find you or face a Total Party Kill. To make matters worse, unlike in other difficulty modes, one of your three pieces of evidence is suppressed, leaving you to figure out what kind of ghost it is based on its behavior, the ghost's room will change, and two of the monitors in the van are smashed, which means you can't keep track of how much sanity you have. Depending on who you ask, the Nightmare Update turns the game into Nintendo Hard. For the truly masochistic and hardcore among the fanbase the developers added Insanity difficulty. Now instead of two evidences to work off the ghost will only reveal one piece of evidence to work with. In most cases this means only half the list of potential ghosts get ruled out and the rest will only have to be worked out from its behavior as there are no cursed possessions to give you extra hints. In addition you start with less sanity than nightmare difficulty, pills heal even less sanity, the ghost room changes more often, there is no beginning grace period to set up, the ghost has a longer hunt period and starts off at almost max aggression (meaning practically every ghost can be as aggressive as a demon), the fuse box is turned off at the start, and there are almost no hiding spots on any of the maps. Even veteran players have played on this difficulty and have died often due to how incredibly challenging it is.

If you go over by the fire pit in one of the map's corners, you will see a twig effigy nearby, similar to the one found in The Blair Witch Project. You can also occasionally peer out into the woods beyond the map borders and be treated to the sight of Slender Man staring back at you.

Phasmophobia (Video Game) / int_d46bae01	comment	Tarot Troubles: One of the seven Cursed Items a player can find is the deck of tarot cards, containing 10 randomly-chosen cards that have ranging effects on the player(s). A few of the cards play the "troubles" very straight, while others completely invert it: The cards that play this straight, giving players negative effects, include The Moon (instantly drains the user's sanity to 0%), Death (immediately triggers a cursed hunt), and The Hanged Man (kills the player on the spot). The Wheel of Fortune has a 50% chance of being this as well; if the card burns red when it disintegrates, it drops the player's sanity by 25%. There are just as many cards, though, that completely invert this by having positive effects: The Sun (instantly restores the user's sanity to 100%), The Hermit (prevents a ghost from hunting or leaving its current room for a brief period), and The High Priestess (brings a dead player back to life if applicable, or otherwise, revives the next player who dies). The Wheel of Fortune also has a 50% chance of being this; if the card glows green when it burns up (instead of red), it raises the player's sanity by 25% instead of lowering it. There are also a few cards that subvert this by being largely neutral, like The Tower (causes a ghost interaction), The Devil (triggers a Ghost Event), and The Fool (does absolutely nothing at all).

Phasmophobia (Video Game) / int_d6f284a3	comment	Anti-Frustration Features: To balance out the added difficulty Nightmare mode brings to the game, players can still communicate with one another over their walkie-talkies when a Hunt is in progress. As long as other conditions are met (within range of the ghost, lights off, the player is alone if it's a shy ghost) when using the Spirit Box, if the game does not detect any microphone input, the Spirit Box will attempt to obtain a response approximately every 10 seconds, randomly selecting an answer for one of the basic question types. This prevents players from being unable to use the Spirit Box if they don't have a microphone, or if their microphone is broken or stops working. The Apocalypse Update introduces custom games where the lobby host can fiddle with the game's settings. This includes things such as how much sanity you start off with, whether your flashlights will work, how frequently a ghost will be active, and most importantly, whether they will hunt you. The reward money you get is also affected based on what settings you messed with as well; if you make the game harder, you'll get more cash, whereas making the game easier nets you less; some settings, like disabling hunts and loss-of-items-on-death, completely voids all cash earned, meaning you get no money from completing objectives. Ghosts with unique evidence identifiers will always have that evidence turned on, even if the difficulty has the evidence selection down to two, one, or even no evidence. This is especially important with the Mimic on low/no evidence runs, since they imitate another ghost's behavior a forced Spirit Orb is the only thing keeping it from being an unavoidable coinflip.

Phasmophobia (Video Game) / int_db6230b7	type	Lightning Bruiser
Phasmophobia (Video Game) / int_db6230b7	comment	Lightning Bruiser: One of the Revenant's unique traits is that it will move faster once it's seen a player, and unlike Mares or Jinns who need darkness/light respectively to dash around the map quickly before slowing down once they reach a target, Revenants keep their pace up so as long as it sees a player. Running from them out in the open is useless and is practically suicide unless you can break their line of sight long enough to hide.

Phasmophobia (Video Game) / int_df11acbe	type	Artificial Brilliance
Phasmophobia (Video Game) / int_df11acbe	comment	Artificial Brilliance: Players use their actual voices to speak to the ghosts, and the NPC ghosts react accordingly. The voice recognition is actually fairly sophisticated, and there are over one hundred phrases a player can say in order to trigger the ghost to respond. Using a Spirit Box even allows for direct questioning, wherein the ghost will give consistent answers to inquiries about their age, method of death, gender, and even their emotional state. Ghosts generally react and plan around what type of entity they are. For instance, Mares are more active in the dark, and will actively try and shut off the power in order to plunge the entire map into darkness. Hunting ghosts generally pick a player at the start of the hunt and try to run them down, but if they've yet to lock eyes on said victim (or are a Revenant, who has the unique behavior of freely switching targets, or a Banshee, who will always stick to their chosen target) and hear another one yelling their head off, they'll stop looking for their original target and go for the juicy yelling player that they now know the exact location of. Ghosts will also remember where hunters were if it sees them during a non-aggressive phase and go to check those areas on their next hunt to see if they're still hanging out there.

Phasmophobia (Video Game) / int_e3ab9e00	comment	Turns Red: Players start with five minutes to gather evidence or prepare themselves for activity before the ghost starts to become aggressive. Once the five minutes are up, the ghost will become much more active and will attempt to kill the players once sufficiently provoked. On Intermediate difficulty, the preparation phase is reduced to two minutes. On Professional, there is no grace period; the ghost is active from the moment you open the front door.

Despite this, they're the most reliable source of light, since ghosts can flip a house's power breaker (shutting off every light in the house until the breaker is manually reset) and blow out candles.

Phasmophobia (Video Game) / int_ff070bbd	type	Attack! Attack! Attack!
Phasmophobia (Video Game) / int_ff070bbd	comment	Attack! Attack! Attack!: This is the primary strategy for Demons, one of the most aggressive ghosts. They hunt often and, as a result, kill often. At the same time, their aggressiveness makes them easy to identify, and crucifixes work better against them. Demons also have the unique ability to start a hunt regardless of player sanity. While this power is exceedingly rare, Demons can, and have, initiated hunts within seconds of the premises being entered. While Demons are most notorious for always going for the kill, any ghost can be riled up to hunt and kill often once everyone's sanity has been lowered to its lowest points, making even the passive Shade aggressive and eager to attack. For this reason, you and your team will want to find as much evidence as possible before the ghost decides to stop playing nice and try to trap you every opportunity. On Nightmare difficulty, kills extend hunt duration, allowing the ghost to potentially kill everyone in a single hunt.
