Phasmophobia Patch Notes 0.4.1
Quija Board
To help combat certain ghosts being very difficult to identify, we’ve added some new questions to the Ouija board so that you can get a rough idea of what your sanity percentage is.
- The Ouija Board is now guaranteed on Nightmare difficulty
- You can now ask the Ouija board what your sanity is in different ways
- Different questions will give different responses
- Combining these responses can give you a very good idea of your sanity
- Asking about your sanity will only drain your sanity a very small amount
- Less useful Ouija Board questions now drain your sanity much less
- Some Ouija Board spawn points have been moved to avoid clipping with hiding place blockers
New
- Ghosts changing preferred room is now tied to sanity. Higher sanity, less room changing!
