Ghost Exorcism INC. news & patch notes

Hello everyone, long time no see! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40514161/0efd8251aa82df4bb0f78b4f54a13f42b3ea6133.png We first wanted to thank those who wished Ghost Exorcism Inc. a happy birthday, and yes, 3 years already since the release! A lot of developments in three years, lots of laughter and jumpscares, and it would never have happened without you and your support! We're going to answer the most asked questions in recent months, with little sneak peaks of upcoming updates ;)

Is the game still being developed?

Yes! The game is still under development. We have always been a very small team, but that does not stop us from moving forward. The game being at an advanced stage in terms of entities, evidence, maps and type of contracts, we continue to work on the so-called "comfort" features. But also on one last map, because we can't help it...

When will there be an official release?

This year! If all goes well, the game will be officially released at the end of 2024. Our efforts on the network, various optimizations and the game engine in general have reached a stage that allows us to release the game. The price will not change, the discounts will continue as they always have (long live halloween!) and we hope to be able to launch some challenges and continue small updates here and there in the future, after the release.

Where to find games online?

We have a small and passionate community, but that can mean it's more difficult for players to find public lobbies with players. If you're struggling to find random players to play with, we urge you to create a public lobby for yourself, so that you can allow others searching for games to join you. There is also a Discord community available here: https://discord.gg/ghost-exorcism-inc-845591054635761704 and several players in the Steam community, sharing game codes and tips!

Why not rescues with several entities?

You're right. Why not? Oh, I'm being told in the headset that it's currently being tested and will soon be in beta! Several of you (especially veterans) have asked for it. Rest assured it will be a done deal! Just like a classic multi-entity contract, the "short" mode will offer two entities and the "long" three entities in one contract. The equipment scattered on the ground, as well as the number of employees knocked out (in need of rescue) will be increased.

So, what's new between now and the release?

- Some graphics optimizations - New colors for our friend the Wisp (he complained of always being the same...) - New map - QoL improvements (in the options, in the display of certain information, etc.) - New Multi-Entity Rescue game mode {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40514161/2b17dd51e7f6c3d0078b3487313833ea34e163af.png See you soon! Oh, and exorcists... don't forget your Mary and crucifix!

Hello Exorcists! The short beta-test highlighted some issues with the Wisp that should be resolved now, and its behavior will be updated next update (early 2024) in the Entity Update part. 2. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40514161/ab4c60b7df5b5860125ef7e8ab60bf3ac5e649c3.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40514161/1d21155c61d06c0b5c38d73b54575661335787b2.png

• The Wisp will not interact with the light switches (Stroboscopic and simple on/off) but will move objects and block doors.
• Entity related achievements are now rewarded at 1, 25 and 50 exorcisms (instead of 1, 50, 100 previously).
• Added seasonnal decorations.

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40514161/b09c728b64a84dba71d2f183e91a45ae731d47a1.png

Don't forget your Crucifixes and Statues of Mary. - The Ghost Exorcism Inc. team

Hello Exorcists! Back with a new public-test version before the end of 2023! Below you will find a summary of this update, but first.. -- New Entity Since the offices of Ghost Exorcism Inc. have been able to analyze paranormal fires, several discoveries have been made, such as notebooks of writing and drawing spontaneously combusting, as well as smoking crucifixes or statues of Mary. The latest report from our agents indicates the presence of a new entity, named the Wisp. Its appearance and behavior have been deemed appropriate for beginner exorcists, but be careful! It can be somewhat irritable, especially when exorcists interfere with lights. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40514161/d98429912adf4a419ed2b3686a889d32f38cfe0a.png -- Spectator Mode With the goal of offering new tools to players and content creators, a "Spectator" mode has been added. Only the host of a multiplayer game can be a spectator, and thus follow the players during their missions, invisible to them. Spectators are unable to interact with objects or tools. They can simply spectate. Spectators are able to walk through doors. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40514161/b2a188f335ec42d66a261cd3df1fe2695d15f3bb.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40514161/1d21155c61d06c0b5c38d73b54575661335787b2.png

• NEW GHOST TYPE: Wisp - This entity seems to appear when its soul has been ignored for too long, preventing it from reaching the beyond. It prefers to stay in the light, fearing that the darkness of its past deeds will overtake it.
• SPECTATOR MODE! Only the host can be spectator. To activate spectator mode, open the player Profile screen in the tablet (click on the avatar in the corner), and select "Spectator Mode". This can only be toggled while at the Hub.
• We've updated the appearance of the "entity hands" for the Shadow (the hands that appear on-screen when the entity has grabbed you).

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40514161/62e23be8838ad027c064ddb0cef27402fac16734.png

• We have fixed a problem which caused the Hub board to not correctly switch to a new contract, if a new contract was selected before hitting the "back to main" button.

Don't forget your Crucifixes and Statues of Mary. - The Ghost Exorcism Inc. team

Hello Exorcists! Here is a small hotfix mainly concerning multiplayer; it will be released to the main branch very soon! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40514161/1d21155c61d06c0b5c38d73b54575661335787b2.png

• We have added a new "refresh" button next to the microphone selection in the Voice Options. This, along with other corrections we've made, should help players who are having problems getting their microphone to work in the game.

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40514161/62e23be8838ad027c064ddb0cef27402fac16734.png

• In Japan, there should no longer be a 'totem' or 'cursed object' beneath the central temple, which is unobtainable.
• We have made a correction that should prevent multiplayer lobbies from becoming duplicated or bugged.

Don't forget your Crucifixes and Statues of Mary. - The Ghost Exorcism Inc. team

Hello Exorcists! Halloween is almost here! This much-loved time is an opportunity for horror games to show what they're capable of! Today, we are bringing both updates from the beta branch over to the main branch. This update includes a new map, a new game mode, three new possible evidences, new equipment, four new exorcism steps, Halloween-themed decorations in the hub, as well as various fixes and adjustments. So here is the complete patch notes: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40514161/1d21155c61d06c0b5c38d73b54575661335787b2.png

• New Evidence: Notebook Fire - The Notebook can now catch fire when nearby some entities, and upon doing so will be evidence.
• New Evidence: Smoke: Crucifix - The Crucifix can now begin smoking when nearby some entities, and upon doing so will be evidence.
• New Evidence: Smoke: Mary Statue - The Mary Statue can now begin smoking when nearby some entities, and upon doing so will be evidence.
• New Map: ITALY - Catacombe Obscura - For centuries, these catacombs initially served as burial grounds for non-cremated bodies. Over time, and with the cessation of this practice, they gradually transitioned into a pilgrimage site, eventually becoming a tourist attraction. Recently, unusual paranormal phenomena have occurred while tourists were visiting this historically rich location. We specialize in addressing such enigmatic occurrences. Let us restore the peace and sanctity of this historical space.
• New Equipment: Glowsticks - Players can now buy a pack of glowsticks. Each package contains 4 glowsticks. The glowstick color can be changed with the "Alt Activate" key (usually 'Q' by default). These should come in handy when exploring the new underground labyrinth, or for marking important objects or locations.
• Multi-Entity contracts can now have up to 3 entities! Quick Multi-Entity contracts will still have 2 entities, but Full Multi-Entity contracts will now have 3!
• New Exorcism Step: You may be asked to break a Tiger Eye capsule on the Dread Origin. In addition to the usual effect, a small blue flame will indicate that the Dread Origin was successfully cleansed with the capsule.
• New Exorcism Step: You may be asked to break a Salt capsule on the Dread Origin. In addition to the usual effect, a small blue flame will indicate that the Dread Origin was successfully cleansed with the capsule.
• New Exorcism Step: You may be asked to break a Holy Water capsule on the Dread Origin. In addition to the usual effect, a small blue flame will indicate that the Dread Origin was successfully cleansed with the capsule.
• New Exorcism Step: From now on, you may be asked to throw a Holy Water Capsule on a Burning Notebook. In addition to the usual effect, a charred appearance of the Notebook will indicate that you have successfully completed this step.
• Exorcism Step Modification: An entity can now simultaneously have Writing/Drawing evidence in the Book AND on a Surface (one no longer prevents the other)!
• Added an additional Holy Water / Tiger Eye / Salt capsule to the free equipment rack (depending on the contract type).
• Added a "Halloween" decoration theme to the hub !

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40514161/62e23be8838ad027c064ddb0cef27402fac16734.png

• Changed map loading method to improve performance.

Don't forget your Crucifixes and Statues of Mary. - The Ghost Exorcism Inc. team

Hello Exorcists! We're checking in with some updates! Development is progressing well enough for us to share more details about the features coming in the next update. Firstly, as many have guessed, the theme of the next map will be the "Catacombs"—a damp, stone labyrinth filled with bones of all kinds, where getting lost will be easy. We're excited for you to try out this new location! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40514161/96bc421d32cd51dda7e0ec82e4e09489f03e49d5.png Additionally, we're adding three new pieces of evidence to the Ghostpedia: Notebook Fire, Smoking Crucifix, and the Smoking Mary Statue. These are sure to spice up your contracts! More details on how these pieces of evidence work will be in upcoming announcements. What was that last thing we wanted to add? Hmm... Well, we've just been informed that a photograph has arrived at our headquarters, taken from within the very catacombs we're planning to work with. Can you see the two entities in this photo? Something seems off, doesn't it? {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40514161/dccc73392ed828c0b435a012633613f4e3687dac.png We'll investigate this and bring you more details in future updates and/or upcoming dev blogs. Stay vigilant! Don't forget your Crucifixes and Statues of Mary. - The Ghost Exorcism Inc. Team

Hello Exorcists! We are back to keep you updated on the progress of the next update for Ghost Exorcism INC! We are preparing a whole bunch of new features for you, which we can't fully detail here, just yet! Firstly, we are actively working on controller compatibility for Ghost Exorcism INC. Many have expressed their desire to see this feature, and we are working on implementing it as soon as possible. We are also preparing three new types of evidence for you to discover with your favorite entities. We will provide more details in upcoming announcements. Additionally, a new map is coming. Do you like creepy atmospheres? Do you love getting completely lost in locations haunted by malevolent entities? You're going to enjoy our next map. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40514161/812eea55ea552018612af6d5fee79c1404d2dd84.png A little "work in progress" of this upcoming map Last but not least, an improvement to an existing game mode will arrive and will offer you a challenge worthy of the name! We will bring you more details about future updates in the upcoming dev blogs, so stay tuned! Don't forget your Crucifixes and Mary Statues. - The Ghost Exorcism Inc Team.

Hello Exorcists! It's now been two years since Ghost Exorcism INC joined your Steam libraries. We've evolved the game tremendously since its initial release on July 16, 2021. Thanks to your feedback and our team, the game is what it is today: a frightening and fun investigation and exorcism experience. This is only the beginning because we still have a lot to bring to Ghost Exorcism INC. We're thrilled to present you with a Roadmap of what is planned for the rest of the year 2023: - Proper support for controllers. - A new entity. - A new map. - A new type of evidence to hunt entities. - Give players the possibility to turn off the headlights of the vehicle. - Make Multi-Entity possible in "Rescue" type contracts. - Give players the possibility to send back material that they have spawned but no longer want. - Entity Behavior Update (Part 2): This update will introduce even more unique entity behaviors and abilities, making the encounters even more thrilling and engaging. - New playable character. - Instant Camera balance changes. Also, a new and significant change. We've decided to lower the price of Ghost Exorcism INC, particularly since the game is now two years old and as a measure of realignment with the current market.

Don't forget your Crucifixes and Statues of Mary. - The Ghost Exorcism Inc. team

Hello Exorcists ! The first part of our update to enhance the flavor/uniqueness of Entities was been highly appreciated, and we express our gratitude for that. We are now releasing this update on the main branch. This update includes some uniqueness updates for the Poltergeist, Memory, and Revenant. Below, you will find the patchnotes detailing what was included in the 06/22/2023 update. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40514161/1d21155c61d06c0b5c38d73b54575661335787b2.png

• We've started deploying entity flavor updates! In this first stage, we're launching flavor updates for the Memory, Revenant, and Poltergeist. Exorcists will see visual effects when near the Memory and Revenant. Specifically, the Memory will generate a faded, photograph-like visual along with an audio effect that mimics a record player. The Revenant's effect will reflect its ability to drain life force. The Poltergeist will receive enhanced levitation capabilities, allowing for more thrilling "floating object" events.
• New map! Denmark - Harrowgate Road - The former resident, once respected with a large family, underwent a bitter transformation after their spouse's death. Alienating neighbors, children, and siblings, their lingering anger, even in death, now disrupts the neighborhood, endangering both the community and those clearing the property.

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40514161/62e23be8838ad027c064ddb0cef27402fac16734.png

• We have made corrections to the way several decoration-objects are held (dragged). Many objects should no longer be held way up above the exorcists head when they are being dragged or moved.

Don't forget your Crucifixes and Statues of Mary. - The Ghost Exorcism Inc. team

Hello Exorcists! We've started deploying entity flavor updates to the beta (public test) branch! In this first stage, we're launching flavor updates for the Memory, Revenant, and Poltergeist. Exorcists will witness visual effects when near the Memory and Revenant, whereas the Poltergeist will acquire a unique power only it can use. We're preparing several more robust updates that will significantly enhance the distinctiveness of each entity type. Moreover, a new map will be introduced alongside these interactions. More details will be available in the patch notes. As a reminder, the "public test" beta is accessible by going to your Steam library, right-click Ghost Exorcism INC -> Properties, then go to the "Beta" tab, and select "public-test" from the dropdown list. A game update will then begin. This will allow you to test the latest beta update with the new features mentioned in this patchnote. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40514161/1d21155c61d06c0b5c38d73b54575661335787b2.png

Hello Exorcists ! Thank you for the feedback on the last update. We continue to improve and update Ghost Exorcism INC so that our game constantly pushes the limits and can provide the best gaming experience possible. We are releasing the beta update from 05/24/2023 on the public branch with some additional fixes and improvements. Here are the patch notes for this update, as well as the corrections and additional modifications that we have made since the beta. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40514161/1d21155c61d06c0b5c38d73b54575661335787b2.png

• New Feature: Favorite Equipment! You can now mark equipment as "Favorite" by clicking the heart icon when the item is selected. Additionally, we've introduced a new button that automatically spawns one of each item from your favorites list.
• New Photo Category: Invisible Cursed Objects. You can now see and photograph Invisible Cursed Objects using the Photo Camera. These objects will behave like normal cursed objects once they're made visible by the Instant Camera's flash.
• We've adjusted some of the pentagrams, infestations, and surface writings/drawings on various maps. These should be easier to find now.
• We've expanded the number of unique spawn locations in the "deposit zone", allowing more large objects to spawn without stacking on top of each other.
• After gathering player feedback, we have removed Steam achievements for the Silver, Gold, Emerald, Amethyst, Ruby, Diamond, and Prism prestige levels. However, you can still achieve these prestige levels in-game, and they will be displayed to your teammates in multiplayer games. We have decided this was good feedback, and a good change, because we have noticed some players really want to complete all achievements in the game. After extensive testing we have found that some of the prestige achievements simply took longer to obtain than we had intended/expected.

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40514161/62e23be8838ad027c064ddb0cef27402fac16734.png

• Players will no longer receive secondary objectives to "witness an entity hit/break a door" when the only entity present is a Memory.
• The keybindings displayed on the Tutorial and Hub boards will now accurately reflect any custom keybindings set by players. We now support additional keys for both QWERTY and AZERTY layouts.
• We've fixed a bug that made some players' custom keybindings appear to reset upon starting a contract.
• We've fixed issues with salt piles and lit incense on the floor, which sometimes wouldn't activate on entities that had these steps in their exorcism process.
• (All Maps) We've fixed over 80 miscellaneous issues across various maps, including missing textures, incorrect textures, decoration adjustments, lighting problems, decoration placement issues, and low texture resolutions. The huge amount of minor map corrections is simply too extensive to list here.

Don't forget your Crucifixes and Statues of Mary. - The Ghost Exorcism Inc. team

Hello Exorcists! After the great reception of the "Multi-Entities" update, the Ghost Exorcism INC team is continuing to prepare many additions and improvements for you. While waiting for the opportunity to tell you more, we have found and fixed several in-game issues and made some slight changes, in particular the improvement of the main board in the HUB because many players still think now that the tutorial is obligatory whereas it is not. More details in the patchnotes below. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40514161/1d21155c61d06c0b5c38d73b54575661335787b2.png

• We have added Billy (the doll) as non-evidence in the Encyclopedia.
• We have added lit candles next to a very specific gravestone in the Cemetery. This is to help players find/see this location, as it can contain some important gear on Rescue contracts (or surface writing/drawing).
• We have updated the Ghostpedia evidence selectors. They are slightly smaller now, and should have a lot less bugs associated with the buttons.
• We have added color-code dots in the Encylcopedia, for the "Contract Types".
• We have updated the main board in the Hub. This will hopefully prevent/resolve continued confusion from players who believe the tutorial was/is "required".

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40514161/62e23be8838ad027c064ddb0cef27402fac16734.png

• Finding unconscious employees in non-rescue missions should now be possible again.
• We have corrected the number of possible Occult Objects per contract. ((# of evidence per 1 entity) x #OfEntity + (#OfMaxTotems x #OfEntity) (also known as 10 maximum possible occult objects).
• We have mostly fixed the "automatic refresh" in the public lobby browser. We are aware that the lobby automatic refresh does not seem to work on it's first countdown, and are looking to resolve this as soon as possible.
• Broken Salt capsules (as well as Tiger Eye and Holy Water) should now correctly show as "consumed" (on the ground) after it damages the entity, or was an exorcism step of the entity.
• We have fixed Holy Water not showing as consumed correctly after destroying a pentagram.
• We have fixed a problem with the Entity Analyzer which sometimes prevented non-host players from being able to use it to scan multiple entities. Tip from GEx HQ: You can press the Q button (by default) to reset the Entity Analyzer.
• We have corrected a problem with the destroyed totems not producing the "poof" or "damage" effect against some entities.
• We have corrected several small lights on the Abandoned Farm map.
• We have fixed several wall writings/drawings which were not appearing in a white color, as they should have been.
• We have fixed doors "falling through the ground" after they are broken.
• We have made a correction to the text alignment of the Ghostpedia tab title.
• We have fixed the MEL sometimes showing "Infestation" twice.
• We've made several more corrections to player save files which should greatly reduce the chances of players losing save files, or save progress.

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40514161/b09c728b64a84dba71d2f183e91a45ae731d47a1.png

• Added new keys to all languages.

Don't forget your Crucifixes and Statues of Mary. - The Ghost Exorcism Inc. team

Hello Exorcists! The entire Ghost Exorcism INC team is proud to announce the public release of the "Multi-Entity" update. We are very happy with the feedback we have had, and we have made the necessary corrections in the beta test phase. Here are the complete patchnote for this update. The occult forces of this world have gone on the offensive. Several Ghost Exorcism INC teams around the world have reported encounters with multiple entities on location. A Fallen and a Demon? A Poltergeist and a Revenant? A Clown and a Fallen? It's chaos! Effective immediately, a new type of contract called "Multi-Entity" is available for experienced and brave exorcists. These new contracts are sure to put you to the test. Proceed with caution; if one entity is exorcised, it will likely increase the strength and aggression of the second entity. Fortunately, our Research & Development department has produced and tested a new technology to deal with the new double threats: the Environment Scanner. A cumbersome device that will allow you to know, by placing it near evidence or at orbs, to whom the analyzed evidence/orbs belong. This is all accompanied by a new haunted location: "The Abandoned Farm". This update is going live on the "public-test" beta branch, you can access it in your Steam library, by right-clicking on Ghost Exorcism INC, then Properties, then going to the Beta tab and selecting "public-test" from the drop-down menu. Finally, we present to you the full patch notes: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40514161/1d21155c61d06c0b5c38d73b54575661335787b2.png

• New game mode: Multi-Entity! Up to two entities (for now). The "Quick" variant is unlocked at level 65, and the "Full" variant is unlocked at level 100. Some details to mention; You can never have 2 of the same entity in one contract. When one entity is exorcised, the second entity becomes much more aggressive. MEL and Environment Scanner advised.
• New equipment: The Environment Scanner! This device can detect Orbs, Surface Writing/Drawing, Book Writing/Drawing, Pentagrams, Infestations, and Totems. The Environment Scanner can also detect who is the owner of each. Thie piece of equipment is critical for the new Multi-Entity contracts.
• New map: The Abandoned Farm (USA). A medium sized home-type map.
• Exorcist - Full now has a chance to have two entities in the contract.
• We've added an "Unstuck" button (in the tablet, Bug Report app). We've added this so that we can continue to investigate how we can improve player physics, while preventing players from finding themselves permanently stuck in a contract. By default, the first use of the Unstuck button requires a 5 second wait, but further use of the button will require the player to wait 30 more seconds for each additional use. We've added this time limitation to prevent players from abusing this mechanic.
• Updated format for contract selection, and contract preview.
• Updated format for contract pages in the Encyclopedia.
• Added Entity icons to the text in Encyclopedia summary.
• Added Entity icons to the tab titles in the Ghostpedia.
• The MEL was removed from the Tutorial, as it is only available for seasoned (high level) players.
• We've adjusted the reward for collecting cursed items on Hard contracts, as well as Multi-Entity contracts. The reward per cursed object on both game modes will be slightly nerfed (both xp and $$).
• "I'm Scared" wall writing was changed/updated.

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40514161/62e23be8838ad027c064ddb0cef27402fac16734.png

• We have finally corrected the bug which would make the Neutrino-Gun, Modified Shotgun, Revival Kit (and other items) not work for some players. This was related to an "item dragging" bug.
• We have finally found and fixed the reason for the "blinking" or "flashing light" bug. This was related to an error in post-processing.
• When a player is dragged by an entity, and the entity gets interupted (or damaged) - the player will now be teleported to the nearest open location. This is to avoid problems of players getting dragged and stuck.
• Fixed a bug which could cause too many notches to appear in the Ghostpedia entity slider, after a level up.
• Corrections have been applied to the Custom Exorcism app (some special characters were allowed, while they should not have been, and vice-versa).
• Clown Balloons should now correctly detect walls and ceilings, and should no longer injure players through them.
• (All Maps) We have implemented fixes to numerous cockroach spawns. They should be much easier to shoot with the Neutrino-Gun now.
• (Several Maps) Many fixes applied to glass panes/windows.
• (Bamboo Temple) We've corrected a very small invisible wall that could cause players to become stuck, on the main pathway, near the bell.

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40514161/b09c728b64a84dba71d2f183e91a45ae731d47a1.png

• We have updated all languages to support the new additions.
• Russian (Thanks Oliver A.!)
• Japanese (Thank you アルヴィト!)
• Czech Updated (Thanks TheCoolestDuck)
• Reminder: To learn about all the new translation keys (or updated ones), you can consult the following page (Google Sheet), in the "Patchnote" tab (bottom): https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1XhVjDVFWeQUeMsVzdduRHk55qq9vRneKlBo0PAuf5oo/edit#gid=0

Fortunately, our Research & Development department has produced and tested a new technology to deal with the new double threats: the Environment Scanner. A cumbersome device that will allow you to know, by placing it near evidence or at orbs, to whom the analyzed evidence/orbs belong. This is all accompanied by a new haunted location: "The Abandoned Farm". This update is going live on the "public-test" beta branch, you can access it in your Steam library, by right-clicking on Ghost Exorcism INC, then Properties, then going to the Beta tab and selecting "public-test" from the drop-down menu. Finally, we present to you the full patch notes: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40514161/1d21155c61d06c0b5c38d73b54575661335787b2.png

• New game mode: Multi-Entity! Up to two entities (for now). The "Quick" variant is unlocked at level 75, and the "Full" variant is unlocked at level 100. Some details to mention; You can never have 2 of the same entity in one contract. When one entity is exorcised, the second entity becomes much more aggressive. MEL and Environment Scanner advised.
• New equipment: The Environment Scanner! This device can detect Orbs, Surface Writing/Drawing, Book Writing/Drawing, Pentagrams, Infestations, and Totems. The Environment Scanner can also detect who is the owner of each. This piece of equipment is critical for the new Multi-Entity contracts.
• New map: The Abandoned Farm (USA). A medium sized home-type map.
• Exorcist - Full now has a chance to have two entities in the contract.
• Updated format for contract selection, and contract preview.
• Updated format for contract pages in the Encyclopedia.
• Added Entity icons to the text in Encyclopedia summary.
• Added Entity icons to the tab titles in the Ghostpedia.
• The MEL was removed from the Tutorial, as it is only available for seasoned (high level) players.
• "I'm Scared" wall writing was changed/updated.

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40514161/62e23be8838ad027c064ddb0cef27402fac16734.png

• Several fixes applied to several glass panes/windows, across most maps.
• When a player is dragged by an entity, and the entity gets interrupted (or damaged) - the player will now be teleported to the nearest open location. This is to avoid problems of players getting dragged and stuck.
• Fixed a bug which caused too many notches to appear in the Ghostpedia entity slider, after a level up.
• Fixes applied to custom exorcism app (some characters were allowed, while they should not have been, and vice-versa).
• Clown Balloons should now correctly detect walls and ceilings, and should no longer injure players through them.
• We've implemented changes to attempt to resolve the semi-rare bug which causes some players to be unable to use Neutrino-Guns or Modified Shotguns.
• Bug reports will now correctly show "Multi-Ghost" as a contract type.
• Fixed Ghostpedia not showing needed tabs for Multi-Entity missions in some cases.
• Fixed a bug on all equipment not working properly when dragged then equipped. (Well known on Neutrino-gun and rifle)

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40514161/b09c728b64a84dba71d2f183e91a45ae731d47a1.png

Hello Exorcists! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40514161/62e23be8838ad027c064ddb0cef27402fac16734.png

• We've attempted a hotfix to address a few system configurations that are experiencing light flickering while moving around. If this problem exists for you, please try lowering your in-game brightness setting to "0" (Middle), or lowering your quality settings in the Graphics options. We are continuing to investigate this problem.
• We've updated the version of Unity that we use, in order to further attempt to resolve some of the bugs that are being reported.
• We've fixed a collision problem with the "Flies" evidence.

Don't forget your Crucifixes and Statues of Mary. - The Ghost Exorcism Inc. team

Hello Exorcists ! The custom exorcism book update was well recieved on the public beta branch! We are happy to bring the main branch these fixes and updates. Your feedback is always very appreciated! Stay tuned, and stay prepared, because one of the next updates will be bringing MULTIPLE forms of optional difficulty. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40514161/1d21155c61d06c0b5c38d73b54575661335787b2.png

• In addition to firing the Modified Shotgun at Clown balloons, players can now also pop these balloons by throwing objects at them!
• Players can now customize their own Exorcism Book recitals from in-game! In the Hub "testing" area, head to the Exorcism Book pedestal room, and click the book found on the new desk!
• The Occult Meter will no longer detect Totems (turn red) if the totem is on a different floor. Note: The Occult Meter will still be able to detect totems through walls, but not ceilings or floors anymore.

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40514161/62e23be8838ad027c064ddb0cef27402fac16734.png

• Thanks to player feedback/reports, we have corrected a bug which caused the Dread Origin to almost always be in the same spot on Pianist Manor.
• We have found and corrected a problem which caused equipment/objects held by players who lost connection to the host to be stuck floating in the air. Equipment/objects should no longer become unusable if the connection to the host was lost.
• We have found and corrected another potential problem with player save files. Please do not hesitate to let us know with a bug report if you have any further problems with the Steam Cloud saving feature!
• We have found and fixed major issues regarding the player-to-player communications. Previously, there was a rare bug which could cause one player's voice to appear to come from a totally different player model/character. This also caused a random chance for player-to-player voice chat to be broken, or disconnected without reason. If players find that there are strange player-to-player communication problems, please try creating a fresh new lobby, then trying again. If players continue experiencing problems, do not hesitate to send us a bug report!
• We have removed the collider from objects that are being held in-hand ONLY while the player is holding/moving a door. This will allow doors to open/close even if it is colliding with the Neutrino-Gun, or the Shotgun, etc.
• We have made another significant update to player physics. Players should not notice the changes at all, however, this update should greatly reduce the chances of players falling through objects, getting stuck in objects, or being pushed through objects/walls. If anyone notices unusual behavior with player movement, or player physics, we strongly urge you to submit bug reports as soon as possible!
• Along with the update to the player physics - we have also implemented a potential fix for "unconscious bodies" falling through the floor. Please do not hesitate to send us bug reports if you have any problems finding your fallen teammates!
• We have implemented an update for failed revivals. This is not a final fix, but this will help us find the problem much more easily. It is extremely important that if you have a problem REVIVING a downed (player) teammate, submit a bug report as soon as possible (even while you are in contract, if you want).
• Fixed a HUD icon problem which caused some players to experience FPS drops if they had the HUD icons enabled. (a minor memory leak).
• We have made a large correction to the visible text, at the Hub (on the board). Players should no longer have a "border" form around their star icons, if they back away from the Hub board.
• We have corrected the "Unlockables/Progression" section of the Encyclopedia. A few things were not showing the correct required levels to unlock.
• We have found and fixed a graphical error, which sometimes caused the ceiling lights in the Hub to flicker when the player moved.
• We have fixed a problem which prevented players from respawning correctly, if they managed to fall out (or force themselves out) of bounds. Looking at you, Joshua >.>
• We have corrected a wall which had no collider on Kindergarten.

Hello Exorcists! Today we are bringing the main branch the very same fixes that we've tested in the public beta. Stay tuned, we have even more updates coming soon! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40514161/1d21155c61d06c0b5c38d73b54575661335787b2.png

• We've added a small new screen in the rear of the vehicle. This will display information about your equipment, and when/if it is required that you collect your equipment before leaving a contract.
• We've made some FPS optimizations to the Lost House, Bamboo Temple, Kindergarten, and Family Home. We plan to continue optimizing all of the maps for better performance.
• We've updated the tutorial description for doors/door barriers. The new description reads: "Doors are an extremely common and useful tool at your disposal. Standing in place and holding a door closed will block an entity from passing through for a brief time. Closing a door and leaving it unattended will block an entity for a much shorter period of time. Doors are only temporary- they can, and will be destroyed by an attacking entity."

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40514161/62e23be8838ad027c064ddb0cef27402fac16734.png

• We have found and fixed crashes associated with the Ghostpedia/Tablet. Please let us know if anyone continues to have crashing problems when using the tablet!
• The Host's lobby-code should now be automatically given to another player if the Hosts disconnects from, or leaves a lobby. (Host status will now correctly transfer from player to player when necessary).
• We've implemented a solution for sudden FPS drops at the Lost House. Please let us know if this has helped, or if you notice any strange behavior!
• We've applied some corrections to dolls to prevent them from pushing players through objects/walls.
• (Circus) We've fixed a problem which allowed players to walk directly through certain parts of the large tent.
• (Cirucs) We've corrected the light coming from the small tents lightbulbs.
