New

Strange symbols have been spotted in the warehouse, what could they mean? Get searching for an answer! Crucifix uses will now have new textures, effects and sounds when used Updated all UV shaders!

Changes

Reduced the range and resolution of several environmental lights slightly. This should decrease the chance of your shadows becoming overly pixelated when having lots of lights turned on in a location, and decreasing the chance of an object hitting the “maximum lights” limit (e.g. resulting in black floors or DOTS casting no light) The time between hunts will now be the same if the ghost uses a crucifix or if it hunts (20s for Demon, 25s for other ghost types) The ghost’s room will no longer be visible on the Haunted Mirror when you use it at 0% sanity Ghost orbs can no longer go through walls into a different room Fog quality settings have been changed for better visual clarity across all settings Low – Downsampling at 2, no shadows Medium – No downsampling, no shadows High – No downsampling, receive shadows Blur has been removed Renamed Daily and Weekly Challenges to Daily and Weekly Tasks, to avoid confusion with the new Challenge Mode difficulty Several icons have been improved Improved and fixed the visuals of light sources on the PC monitors in Prison Improved the visuals of the collectible cabinets in the warehouse lobby Lighting a Summoning Circle candle with no sanity will now extinguish it instantly. Note: Lighting the 5th candle with no sanity will cause an instant hunt Saying “goodbye” on the Ouija Board no longer counts toward challenges Renamed the High School bathrooms to make it clearer where they are Failing to join a room with a password now gives a more descriptive error The night vision camera effect will now adjust brightness when entering and exiting foggy areas
