Phasmophobia Update 0.4.1.0 Patch Notes
OUIJA BOARD
To help combat some very hard-to-identify ghosts, we've added new questions to the Ouija board so you can get a rough idea of your sanity percentage.
- The Ouija board is now guaranteed to be on Nightmare difficulty.
- You can now ask the Ouija board about your sanity in a variety of ways.
- Different questions will yield different answers.
- The combination of these answers can give you a very good idea of your mental health.
- Asking questions about your sanity will only drain it a little.
- Less useful Ouija board questions now drain your sanity much less.
- Moved some Ouija board spawn points to avoid clipping with stash blockers.
NEW
