Finally, horror indie sensation Phasmophobia has added a single player mode in celebration of the game’s one year anniversary.
Update 0.3.1.0 is available now, which will not only add the highly anticipated single player mode but also a variety of quality-of-life improvements and features.
News of the single player mode coming to Phasmophobia was announced in a recent blog post on Steam. “It has been an amazing year for Kinetic Games and Phasmophobia and I would like to thank everyone for their amazing support.”
While Phasmophobia is primarily a co-op multiplayer game, the single player mode will not require you to be connected to a server. This mode can be played offline.
The addition of a single player mode will be welcomed news for fans, especially for those that have been wanting to try out Phasmophobia, but might not be able to always gather friends to play co-op.
Other improvements made to Phasmophobia include a “complete redesign of the journal to make it easier to use and navigate.” You can now also cross off evidence on a ghost in the evidence page, as well as the pause menu now being integrated into the journal.
Other improvements include the VR mute button being changed to the pause button for all controllers. When failing a contract, you will no longer lose $10. Instead, you will get insurance depending on the difficulty mode. Orbs will also now periodically change position when a ghost is in a room, and much more.
