Welcome back, we've got some news for you!

We'd like to give everyone a huge thank you for the support and feedback from Development Preview #1. This is something we will be continuing! Now, onto the new stuff:

Any information and images are Work In Progress (WIP) and may change drastically before releasing



First up, some Kinetic Games news!

As you may know, Phasmophobia was made solely by DK up until last July. Corey (cjdxn) and Ben (Lavender) then joined the team to help speed up development.

Well, the exciting news is we've just hired another artist, Jack (Skinner)! This will allow us to create maps alongside other content, as well as speed up anything particularly large in scope!

Make sure to give him a big welcome in the Discord!

Welcome back we've got some news for you!

We're going to start experimenting with expanding on our Discord "Dev Previews" by bringing them here on Steam, and ramping them up to the maximum! We'll try to keep these semi-regular and post whenever we have content to show off!

Hopefully, these posts will help break up the larger gaps between content, and let you know what we're up to, as well as keeping you excited for what's to come.

Any information and images are Work In Progress (WIP) and may change drastically before releasing

Welcome back ghost hunters, we’ve heard you, and we're working on it!

We want to thank you for your understanding and patience, a completely new system for VR will take some time to get right, but we're getting there with the help of your feedback!

We're still working on things, and will release several more bug fixes as they get completed.



Our first approach to reducing the overuse of door hiding didn't work too well, so we've reverted several doors for better navigation, but given our ghosts a lesson in how to play hide and seek properly!
