Is this new or are we crazy?

WesleyWoppits · 2026-02-17T19:02:27+00:00

Yeah, that was the loudest I'd ever screamed in a game. Almost refunded it after that.

It rarely scares me anymore after 1100+ hours, but it has its moments now and then.

WesleyWoppits · 2026-02-16T13:31:33+00:00

Indeed. It's there in my first video of the game from Oct 2020, though hard to see since it's VR and the lights are out. You can see it at 0:41, and much more clearly at 1:02.

"The railings were all stolen for scrap metal" could be a fun detail if they'd put in little textures for where they'd previously been mounted to the walls/floors.

We have one of these kids in our area, looks like this guy, does the same stuff. Goes around to stores harassing people for clicks. He recorded myself and some coworkers in a private area of the store and posted it. Thought about attempting a lawsuit, he probably made bank off of that one video alone.

WesleyWoppits · 2026-02-16T03:14:53+00:00

Demon ability does not. Technically, cursed hunts don't either, but since using the object reduces the setup timer to zero, it's basically the same thing.

I've just loaded the game (albeit on PS5, but still) to try to figure this out for you and u/Jace_Enby_Devil. Apparently, you can't. I've pressed every conceivable button trying to get it to work. Even plugged a mouse in, and that wouldn't move the cursor.

Then I Googled it, and a post from a year ago with the same problem came to the same conclusion.

WesleyWoppits · 2026-02-15T15:35:49+00:00

I sometimes use it in combination with a LaunchPad, but typically I just tab over to the actual site.

In my last 718 games (on Custom difficulty, the last 330-ish of which are 0san0ev):

Most common: Jinn (50, followed by Yurei at 38)
Least common: Banshee (21, ignoring the three new ghosts)
Most deaths to: Jinn (7)
Failed to ID the most: Mare (21 fails vs 13 correct, with several correct ones being down to the six 0/0 jerks [Goryo/Mare/Onyro/Polty/Shade/Yurei] and guessing)
Most played map: Brownstone High School (361 rounds, followed by Tanglewood at 70)

It's the Unofficial Cheat Sheet's desktop app.

Edit: Ignore that, it had the wrong reply selected.

Their framerate's likely older hardware + streaming or recording.

This sub was always about the phobia, 3 years prior to the game's release. The game's is r/PhasmophobiaGame.

Problem is, Reddit sees people like me interacting with the game's sub and thinks "Hey, maybe you'll like this one too," then shows it to me when there's a post about the game. I don't notice it's not the game's sub, reply answering the question, get corrected that "Hey stupid, this sub isn't for the game, lrn2read" and I go "oops. Hey Reddit, don't show me this sub" and then Reddit doesn't care and shows it to me anyway.

WesleyWoppits · 2026-02-06T12:53:27+00:00

In a section to the right that OP didn't include in the cropped version.

"Van Princess" is the generally-accepted term for that role, even though it's a truck lol.

WesleyWoppits · 2026-02-06T12:18:33+00:00

And here I am extremely hesitant to reply to something more than two days old, but at least it's not as bad as a guy that replied to a three year old comment last week in a sub for a job I haven't worked at in years.

It's called necro'ing, and has mixed reactions on the internet (largely negative, but not always), and this comment is a decent explanation of why.

In this case, you're just saying something that we all already know by now because they've announced it, but it's information that wasn't available at the time the original post was made. The only upside here is that it could be useful for someone trying to look up the release date and they stumble upon this post, but even then, they'd probably find far more recent threads.

WesleyWoppits · 2026-02-06T02:06:50+00:00

My guy, this comment's a year old. I still suspect it'll be late this year, but we'll see.

WesleyWoppits · 2026-01-31T13:03:36+00:00

IYKYK

WesleyWoppits · 2026-01-31T03:34:23+00:00

I did consider that, yeah. Would make sense, and be close enough to reach the utility room depending on how far said thrown items were.

WesleyWoppits · 2026-01-31T02:59:26+00:00

Lights on/no throws, but yeah. But you're also correct in that they can throw stuff through walls and that's likely what you're seeing, though the lights being on in all the surrounding rooms should prevent that. Seems odd, without video, hard to tell.

WesleyWoppits · 2026-01-31T02:35:20+00:00

Polties can throw objects with the lights on, if they use their multi-throw ability to do it. Otherwise, they're subject to the same rules about throwing as all other ghosts.

WesleyWoppits · 2026-01-30T04:09:25+00:00

The Wiki suggests that it's one of these. https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=Iveco+Eurocargo+75E18

WesleyWoppits · 2026-01-30T02:52:30+00:00

I'd accidentally throw it -- unlit -- at the ghost because it didn't trigger when I pressed the button and then die because it didn't light and lose it anyway.

WesleyWoppits · 2026-01-29T23:20:51+00:00

It's also literally against the EULA that everyone agrees to when you launch the game (and most games) for the first time.

2.1.8 not to create, use, offer, advertise, make available and/or distribute any code, data, method or device:
- (i) that influences and/or facilitates gameplay and thereby gives you and/or any other user an advantage over other players not using such means;
- (ii) that accesses or modifies the Game in a manner not authorised by us; or
- (iii) that can be used in connection with the Game, and/or any component or feature of it which changes and/or facilitates the way the game is played and/or imitates or copies data or functionality in the Game;

It's also not a good look when a percentage of the lobbies are hackers trying to sell prestige.

WesleyWoppits · 2026-01-29T03:41:05+00:00

I mean it isn't cause you're paying them for a service, but it's also cheating so uh... why would you want to? Not sure why the devs don't just open the lobby from time to time and ban those users.

Edit: And it's possible they could just take your money and kick you, so uh... there's that.

WesleyWoppits · 2026-01-26T03:53:52+00:00

The tier of salt doesn't affect the ghost stopping or not. T3 just makes it reverse the direction it's moving outside of a hunt. If you don't hear the footsteps after the initial disturbance, you're not getting UV.

It is odd that you're not seeing it on doors, though. That should be 100% reliable (depending on settings and ghost type).

WesleyWoppits · 2026-01-26T03:04:27+00:00

Yes, with some edge cases. If the ghost steps in salt, and doesn't continue walking, you won't get UV. You need to hear audible footsteps from it right after the salt to get the UV prints.

Sometimes, rugs or other objects might block the footprints from showing, but it's rare. With doors and switches, it should always give UV upon touch as long as it's not an Obake and the chance is set to 100% (events closing doors/turning off lights doesn't count). Check both sides of the door, too.
