Hey! Thanks for making this post, we do really value and appreciate the feedback.

We fully understand that most of these issues are due to us being a small studio, as you have pointed out. We're currently in the process of expanding our team in multiple positions to address these concerns however hiring is not easy and takes time. You can find the positions listed on our website. Interviewing is currently a significant part of our current workload however it is crucial for us to grow.

One of the main positions we are looking for is a community manager. This position is very important to improving our communication with everyone and will solve a lot of issues. We've already interviewed many people for this role and have many more interviews lined up.

Our goal is to release several large updates throughout the year, however with our current team size this isn't possible. Expanding our team is my absolute top priority so that we can bring more frequent and subs...

The Console Update

Hey Ghost Hunters, we've got some news for you, and it's exciting...

Firstly we want to thank our incredibly passionate community for being patient with us while we work on the console update. With last year's estimated release date ultimately being delayed, we shared the frustration with console players and had to make sure that when we announced a new release date, it was one that we could meet.





We are collaborating with Unity to work on the console release, as well as general performance optimisations for both console and PC, this will ensure that the console update runs optimally and to the high standards that we set for the game. Working with them means that we can work alongside them on new content for all platforms, allowing faster development of new updates.

Future updates for the game will be re... Read more

Hey, this seems like an issue with Steam if it's after you updated the game. We have a lot of memory optimisations coming in the Halloween event update however that won't affect how Steam downloads and installs updates.

Hey, the main reason is because of "drug references" which is from the sanity medication. As well as some light use of blood, the ghost kills you and the multiplayer aspects. Without the sanity medication, we would have a lower rating.

Welcome back, we’ve got an update for you.

Due to the size of this update, we have given it the version number of v0.10, even though the Roadmap originally planned different content for that version number. The following updates planned in the Roadmap will instead have increased version numbers, but the content and order of updates remain the same.



Point Hope was recently refurbished by a young family seeking something unique to call home. You'll be welcomed by a modern extension, complete with a hallway, closets and a downstairs bathroom, before entering into the Lighthouse's main Living Room. Decorated with nautical knickknacks, you'll be faced with spiral staircases and round rooms, a first for ghost hunters.

This new location features 10 floors, 12 rooms, and a unique layout which will challenge players in new ways. You'll have to use di... Read more

I can imagine how things would go if a control ghost mod could be stealthed in on public lobbies and begin spontaneously murdering folks, and having the devs explain that this isn't their doing, it was 3rd party scripts they allowed to go on their game. I just don't see that going well!

Hey, this is pretty much the reason why we are against it as we have no way of filtering mods on the public games
