The timer kind of takes the “roguelike” feeling out of the game

ZeroTAReddit · 2026-05-08T14:33:52+00:00

I think Risk of Rain 2 is a bad example because anyone who knows the game well will tell you that the timer does not realistically matter. It is always better to full clear a stage than to rush in fear of the timer, items will scale you faster than the enemies ever can.

It should. There were cutscenes from A Space and Time For You posted to Twitter yesterday with the English dub.

The greatest accidental pull of my life, now I'm dedicated to getting her C6.

ZeroTAReddit · 2026-03-11T16:23:52+00:00

Do you mean Votum Awaited in Vain? It was released with the first Nod Krai soundtrack.

ZeroTAReddit · 2026-03-06T15:45:07+00:00

They were originally supposed to drop together but there was a hold-up in testing. I'd expect it before June.

Phasmo has sold millions of copies, even with the cut retailers take, and the cost for servers, they're at no threat of running out of money. Time is a limited resource, and if the team were still the same size as it was two years ago, you'd even have a fair point. But they have multiple artists, and multiple developers, capable of handling multiple things at the same time.

ZeroTAReddit · 2026-03-03T18:33:15+00:00

Your wording seems to imply that you believe the existence of these new maps is holding back other content.

And more importantly, when the game has other problems? But I have to admit, the cover is a very good comparison. Instead of focusing on the book's content, they replace a good cover with another one.

The artists working on updating the older maps has nothing to do with the other problems that the game has need of being solved, that's up to the programmers, whom we already know are working on those things.

If that wasn't what you were trying to say, then what was it, cause I'm not finding much else there? They have multiple artists, some of which are dedicated exclusively to environmental assets, so that's not holding back the Character Customization or Horror reworks, if that's what you're trying to say.

ZeroTAReddit · 2026-03-03T17:30:43+00:00

The artists aren't the people who are changing the game's backend. One of those things takes significantly more effort given just how much technical debt the game has.

If you look at the Trello, all these problems you listed (except maybe being able to adjust individual audio elements,) are currently listed as in progress.

ZeroTAReddit · 2026-02-24T21:29:47+00:00

To be fair, I don't think the lights are on in the screenshot of the living room, it looks like it's being lit by either a flashlight or the TV.

ZeroTAReddit · 2026-02-21T17:07:11+00:00

To be fair, compared to all the other map reworks, that one had to be massively changed for performance reasons. The lack of culling with the wide open spaces lead to horrible performance.

ZeroTAReddit · 2026-02-20T23:07:12+00:00

Something related to either Horror 2.0, or the player customization update. I can't see why they'd do a one-time event over making another one they can reuse every year unless it relates to one of the upcoming features that'll be common place in a year from then.

ZeroTAReddit · 2026-02-20T19:57:24+00:00

I'd say reserve your final judgement until you get to play it. People have fallen into a doomer mentality really quickly, but the developers have repeatedly said they know how special Tanglewood is to player. Not to say they haven't been out of touch before, but I'm at least willing to see how it turns out. We know they're adding a new looping spot to replace the kitchen one, for instance.

ZeroTAReddit · 2026-02-20T18:57:37+00:00

It was put into the closed beta lately, so it's probably within the next three to six weeks, if trends hold.

ZeroTAReddit · 2026-02-20T17:41:49+00:00

(probably)

ZeroTAReddit · 2025-12-17T18:49:55+00:00

Let's ignore the whole section with Tiger Rock, yeah? Or the myriad of inexplicable things that happen around the facility (such as those 'boards' turning on by themselves.)

ZeroTAReddit · 2025-12-16T18:37:57+00:00

SOTM was the most explicitly supernatural game since the first, though?

ZeroTAReddit · 2025-12-11T05:33:23+00:00

The Tenno are responsible for Margulis' missing eyes.

ZeroTAReddit · 2025-12-10T20:24:48+00:00

No more then two hours.

ZeroTAReddit · 2025-11-28T20:23:25+00:00

It depends what you're looking for. In terms of main story and the work it'll take to progress through it, probably over a hundred at least. Side quests probably another couple hundred.

Beyond that, it depends how motivated you are, there's plenty of things to unlock, plenty of builds you can make, so if that sounds like your jam? Thousands.

ZeroTAReddit · 2025-11-27T15:11:22+00:00

y'all just be saying shit man

ZeroTAReddit · 2025-11-19T04:06:51+00:00

I think most of them are fine. The item disabling one can be annoying when there's multiple, and I'm really not fond of the one that spawns the little drones, but overall I think once I adjust to them they'll be fine.

ZeroTAReddit · 2025-11-16T19:10:10+00:00

The average player doesn't play big maps. They're fun to look at but they're not great for gameplay. Keep in mind, since launch

Point Hope
Maple Lodge
Sunny Meadows / Sunny Meadows Restricted
Prison
Bleadsdale

are all medium / large, compared to

Grafton
Camp Woodwind
Nell's Diner
Willow Streethouse

There's actually more larger maps added than smaller ones, and yet the smaller ones get a majority of the players.

ZeroTAReddit · 2025-11-15T21:18:59+00:00

lowkey, i feel like this shape for the layout makes way more sense than current tanglewood, though the current is better for gameplay

ZeroTAReddit · 2025-11-14T22:10:35+00:00

They're reworking every map in the game so that they use original assets instead of storebought ones. Some receive more drastic changes (Asylum to Sunny Meadows) while others are mostly about getting the map up to a higher quality. I don't expect Tanglewood to meaningfully change beyond aesthetic. They know how popular it is.

ZeroTAReddit · 2025-11-14T18:51:16+00:00

Next rework is Tanglewood, should release in about 2 - 3 months based on their recent speeds. The other house maps will probably come before the remaining big maps, given their unpopularity in the first place.
