I am a massive fan of this game and have played countless hours with multiple friends on it. It’s the first PC game I myself ever played. As much as I love Phasmo, I really wish some stuff could be either changed or redone.

1. I wish that dying was scarier: While the death animation is a classic, I feel that after the first couple times it really loses its edge and just kinda feels weak. Obviously losing your gear sucks but in the new update money is so easy to come by that there isn’t a REAL consequence to death beyond that especially when you play with other people. It’s just weird to me that arguably the least scary thing to happen is for you yourself die. All of that build up and suspense for a relatively small payoff. I really don’t have any great ideas what could replace it. Just wish it wasn’t so bland.

2. I wish the ghosts weren’t so easy to control: Having played other games like Phasmo (like demonologist), the Phasmo ghosts definitely feel more reactive than active. Everything that happens feels more or less like it’s on your terms. Once you have smudges, crucifix, or a good hiding location most hunts aren’t terribly threatening to a seasoned team. Obviously as anyone who’s played for a long time will have a better grasp on the situation than a newbie I understand that some of that is just me knowing the game. But even then, the aggressive ghosts are still mostly in ways reactive to the player and their actions. I just think it’d be cool to have maybe just a couple if not all ghosts be more active and less reactive. I think that in a game like Phasmo, a feeling of some helplessness would go a long way towards a continual fear factor and longer term playability.

The other things above are definitely more about the game mechanics, but some cool stuff I think could be added are:

1. A hotel map. Maybe like the shining? Maybe more room 1408 ish? Either way I think it’d be super fun and would have a ton of potential.

2. I wish maps had more specific interactions to each map. Like certain events only happen at one map and each map has their own.

3. More ghost types and more cursed objects

4. Very very unlikely, but I think a mock exorcism type thing of the house would be amazing. Not like demonologist but one where maybe you have to say specific words that you find in a specific for you to cast out the ghost with a high likely hood that you can die in the process.

Like I said. I love this game. These are just some things I think would be super cool/very helpful.
