*** As of the Ascension update, the ghost now communicates using audio snippets from news broadcasts. This makes the Spirit Box responses way more uncanny and creepy.

Added DiffLines:

** A Revenant is the fastest ghost in general out of all the ghost types. Even though they become one of the ''slowest'' if they [[FragileSpeedster don't have line of sight with a player]], the moment it does, you will hear it ''booking it'' through the area. Even if a player it had in its sights breaks line of sight by turning a corner, it will continue its turbo sprinting until it reaches the player's last known location.


Added DiffLines:

* Some tests for figuring out a ghost's type carries its own flavor of nightmare fuel.
** The Spirit Box requires you to talk to the ghost, and if it has that as its evidence, it'll use its gravelly or whispery voice '''to talk back'''.
** The ghost journal has a handful of things a ghost can write, implying that the ghost writing it [[AndIMustScream is in agony]]. Examples include random threatening words like "die" and "behind you," very violent-looking scribbles, a picture of a person running from a creature, and a couple of ''very legible'' cries for help.
---> "I've been here so long now, it '''hurts''', so please help me, I need..." ''(Writing gets cut off)''
---> "I'm stuck here, please help me. It hurts. Please help me. Someone please come save me NOW."
** The DOTS sensor. A ghost will manifest and run across the sensor very fast. Creepy on its own, but made even creepier by the off-chance that the wispy form of the ghost runs straight at ''you''.

* The Apocalypse Update introduces the Sunny Meadows Mental Institution, which is subject to a ''fuck ton'' of FridgeHorror. When you first wander in, it looks like it'll be as empty and creepy as the other locations, right? '''You wish'''. The main cathedral area is the first hint that something is very, very wrong with this place. Crosses are flipped upside down across the walls, there's a satanic circle drawn on the floor, and there's a bloody streak leading from the cross into the pews. It gets worse when you wander further in, finding what looks like an honest-to-god torture chair and a room covered in ''blood splatters''.

* The appropriately named Nightmare Update. In addition to adding in new ghosts types and maps, a new difficulty mode was implemented. What makes this mode so scary you ask? Well, to put it simply, hunts will not end immediately once a ghost kills someone. It will ''continue'' to hunt your ass. In other words, Nightmare Mode makes the ghost capable of doing a TotalPartyKill. [[SarcasmMode Good luck!]]

** A Deogen '''''[[TheAllSeeingAi always knows where everyone is]]'''''. As a result, hiding is worse than useless against them. The kicker is that if you don't know yet that the ghost is a Deogen, [[ParanoiaFuel it's impossible to tell if hiding is a good idea]].

* The Apocalypse Update introduces a new map in the form of an old chapel. When you first wander in, it looks like it'll be as empty and creepy as the other locations, right? Well, sort of. This level has some FridgeHorror in that there's ''bloodstains and reversed crosses'' strewn about the cathedral. Worse, there's a streak of blood starting from the huge cross atop the stairs to the pews, implying someone was dragged off. Oh, and did we forget to mention the satanic circle drawn on the floor in front of said cross?
