‘Phasmophobia’ Update to Bring New Ghosts, Reworked Map and More
Kinetic Games are getting ready once again to release an update to Phasmophobia, bringing more ghost types, a new map and enhancements to the game. Of course, to keep the suspense up, the dev has decided to play with fans as to the details for the 0.6.2 update.
0.6.2 will include two new ghost types, both of whom have had their specifics blurred out. You can make out some text, but as with all good teases, the main parts are too obscured. The newly-reworked Sunny Meadows Mental Institution map will have plenty of scares thanks to the abundance of medical equipment strewn about, including some unsavory-looking dental equipment. Not to mention that it’s pretty dark.
Phasmophobia will also be getting a custom difficulty update, along with a spruced-up UI. Notably, players will now have ID cards, which can be customized to show your Role and your new Prestige in the game. There will also be a quality-of-life improvement in the form of a reporting system that aims to curb hackers.
As for when we’ll be seeing the update, that again would spoil the fun. There doesn’t appear to be anything indicating a release date on Kinetic Games’ Trello board, but that could change very soon.

Upcoming “Willy Wonka Meets BioShock” FPS ‘Twisted Tower’ Launches on August 18 [Trailer]
After dropping a demo last year for their upcoming “BioShock Meets Disneyland” horror title Twisted Tower, developer Atmos Games has announced an August 18th release date for the game, complete with a brand new trailer. While the demo is no longer available, you can, however sign up for the Playtest from the official Steam page.
Blast your way through an abandoned 1950s theme park, the eponymous Twisted Tower, crawling with fairy-tale mascots, twisted puzzles, and deadly traps. Uncover the dark secrets of your past as you race to the top to win the prize and the love of your life. It’s been decades since there’s been a single guest, but the park’s silly mascots will certainly be ready to accommodate you with expert fashion. They’ve been cooped up for years, so they may be looking for a hug.
Choose from dozens of unique paths up the cozy halls of the park castle as you explore its five areas. Sporting “punchy, bloody gunplay”, you can upgrade a slew of deadly weapons ranging from a whack-a-mole mallet to a skull-poppin’ ray gun, and gain new abilities as you climb your way up the tower to win a heaping pile of money and the hand of your childhood sweetheart, Charlotte.
