The new update has reduced requirements for advancing in rank (since previous requirements were clearly too steep); some devices can now be gained at lower ranks than previously; some other improvements.
Poll: which new location would you like to be added first?
- Spudge's Water Park - dark outdoor venue with a large area (old amusement park). See below for an early screenshot.
- vacant lot - dark outdoor venue, fairly small area but with a hidden area to find
- abandoned warehouse - dark indoor venue with four levels and a basement
- Wolfe's Lair Grill - restaurant with elaborate sculpted decoration (wolves, deer, trees etc). See below for an early screenshot.

New build with important bug fixes
The new build fixes several things; the most important of which is a glitch which caused the camera and hand-held objects to gradually shift downwards every time the player went back to the starting menu and then went on another investigation (not sure how many people did that, but it caused significant problems). So that's been fixed.
Resolution setting restored
The new build now allows the resolution to be changed again, and the previous problems seem to have been fixed except occasionally some of the geometry is tinted slightly after changing the resolution (if you were in the middle of an investigation), but it only seems to happen occasionally. The more severe problems seem to have been cleared up. Please report any continuing problems.
Correction to v 0.39
The resolution setting option still doesn't work correctly and causes severe problems right after being changed; so this new build removes that option until it can be fixed.
Version 0.39
Version 0.39
The new version includes the following bug fixes:
- Fixed the bug which made it impossible to set a new screen resolution under Settings.
- Fixed a mannequin bug that sometimes caused the game to lock up.
- Another tweak of the RNG.
Version 0.38
Version 0.38 has been uploaded.
- Fixed the "extra footsteps" problem (the player would have one or two extra footstep sounds after coming to a stop)
- Adjusted ghost RNG again since the previous adjustment had created longer delays than intended.
- Some other bug fixes.
Version 0.37 has been uploaded.
Version 0.37 has been uploaded.
Changes include:
- Streamlined location selection: just one click and one description to select a location.
- New evidence counter display on left side of the screen, since some people didn't know when they were being credited with finding evidence.
- Some small changes to several locations.
- Some bug fixes and changes to the UI.
Not included: work that has been done for several new locations that will hopefully finally be included in the next build. Progress has been made, but none of them are finished yet.
New Build 0.36
The new build contains a tweak of the ghost RNG, although another tweak in the opposite direction may be needed.
Some reflective surfaces, especially the appliances in kitchens, have also been improved, along with some other improvements to the graphics.
The next update should contain at least one or two new locations, including an old abandoned building and probably at least one outdoor location, suggested by some Youtubers who posted gameplay videos.
Work in progress: sculpture for "Wolfe's Lair Grill"
Here's a work-in-progress for part of a new location, the "Wolfe's Lair Grill" (free key for the first person to guess which Youtuber this is a reference to).
Problem fixed
The latest build fixed the sudden lack of ghosts in Gentleman Jim's (a bug that was introduced while fixing another bug).
There is still a problem with the RNG / ghost frequency in many of the locations.
