The announcement trailer from a while back makes the spirit box seem quite spooky with a simple 'here' relayed in its robotic voice while exploring a basement. In reality, Phasmophobia's chatterbox ghosts much prefer saying 'adult' and 'E' with the occasional 'kill' thrown in for fun. It's a bit silly, but unexpected ghost antics are still part of the fun after I've worked my way from cowardly to confident. The update notes also say that if your voice recognition is working, 'you can no longer get a response on the spirit box just by talking, it will now only answer if you asked a question'. If voice recognition isn't working, ghosts 'will default to giving a random response by talking'. I bet they'll still really enjoy telling you their age either way. The spirit box is just one of many tools you use to track a ghost though.Ī bit further out are some interesting changes listed as 'in progress'.
Kinetic Games say that they're working to make ghosts walk to the last place they spotted a player instead of walking away and increasing the chance for ghosts to wander to a new room.
