Anyone have any interest in Phasmophobia?  Some friends and I was playing some last night and had a blast playing it.

I am interested but that game is a pay game I don't currently own.

No problem.  Once I can figure out how to login to steam, (i'ts currently offline) I'll gift it to you.

Thank you Sand. Ya I see so much has changed with Steam that I find it is not as simple as it used to be to find out how to do things in it :P

I hope to game tomorrow as tonight I have to go to bed early as I have to be at the hospital for 6am for my CT scan of the area of the lungs where I have enlarged lymph nodes? Not sure exactly but glad they are doing the follow up from the ER visit.

I installed the Phasmophobia game though so it is ready :)

Some tips before you get ready for the real deal.  Do the training mission first.  That ghost won't be lethal and will be pretty easy to figure out.  When the ghost goes on the hunt, lights will start flashing, including your flash lights.  When the ghost is close by, you will hear a heart beat sound.  It will get much louder as it gets closer and when it targets you.  You will also hear foot steps as it's hunting and it's near by.  9 out of 10 times, you can simply hide in a closet or locker or you could duck in to a room and close the door behind you.  Only a Wraith can walk through walls and doors.  Smudge sticks, salt and a crucifix can be enough to slow and even stop a hunt.  But keep in mind, holding the crucifix won't save you.  It's best to drop it in it's path.  Also, try to stay in the light as much as possible to save your sanity level.  But, some objectives may require you to be alone and / or in the dark.

Okay cool! :) I have watched some youtube game plays of it. A little confusing how to figure out what kind of ghost you are hunting. :D

EMF and or thermometer are the best starting tools to find the ghost.  I always seem to keep a flashlight no matter what.  Speaking of flashlights, you can keep using it by pushing the "F" key when you have another item in hand.

It's a little scary at first.  But once you learn how to survive a hunt, it gets easier to deal with.

I guess there have been updates in the last month I was not aware of. Were you aware of these ones?

I don't have it but want it. https://store.steampowered.com/app/739630/Phasmophobia/ (https://store.steampowered.com/app/739630/Phasmophobia/)

Currently is CDN$ 15.49 but was on sale I think last week. Wait till the next sale and get it with a steam card? However, I don't know if you would want it as you must use a mic and headphones to fully implement the features of the game.

I have seen the ghosts open closet doors all the time.  They do that at random.  You need to be ready to close it again if your hiding in that closet. 
One night, MudKips and I were playing one of the farm houses and asked the entity to open a door for us.  And a door leading out side spun like a revolving door while it began a jump scare.  That was freaky.

What?? THAT is a capability of the game?? Sheezers I did not have any clue! That makes the game even more exciting!

Tell me about it.  And most of the entities in this game have telltale traits that can help clue you in on what they are without even solving any clues.

Revenant has incredible movement speed.  If the entity can quickly overtake you a strait line run during a hunt, you already know what it is.

Phantom will phase in and out of visible sight while it hunts.  If all you got is freezing temps and you see the entity hunting like that, 99% chance it's a phantom.

Banshee will target one player from your group.  So if your in another area of the building from where the entity has been found, and you see things like lights blinking around you but it's not happening anywhere else, know that you are the target of a Banshee.  Get out of the building before it hunts.  It will find a new target after you exit the building.

Shade is very shy and you can stop a hunt with simply taking it's picture.

That's just a few from my own experience.  But here is a good list you should read and understand.

Also, smudge sticks can be very helpful when your on the job.  A lot of the missions require smudging a ghost.  But 9 times out of 10, a smudge stick can save your life during a hunt.

Those things that look like a massive joint? How exactly do you SMUDGE a ghost??

Yup.  Those things.

How exactly do you SMUDGE a ghost??

When it's an objective to the mission, You light it up with the lighter and walk the area that you found the entity in.  In most cases, it will prevent the entity from hunting a while longer.

When being focused during a hunt, light one up when the entity is chasing you.  (Listen for the heart beat sound)  It burns for only about 10 seconds.  Figure when it's half way burned, drop it in front of the entities feet and keep running if it's still chasing you.  It's very effective on a Revenant.  As well as most other entities.  It won't stop a Revenant from hunting, but will make him turn away and give you a far better chance to hide if you do it right.
