changedSpooky Season is here and I know how many of you have been dying for some news regarding Sketchy's Halloween! Well, here it is! The preview of what's coming next week! Just so you know, this is more of an overview. The full details will be dropped with the actual update, but this should get you hyped enough!
addedNew Map - Hollow ManorThis map brings with it a brand-new paranormal investigation feature. Here's how it works: When you land your ship, time will be completely frozen, so you will not have to worry about time until you finalize your investigation at the ghost hunting truck Sketchy has provided just outside the Manor. Security Level 0 is a Haunted Manor that you will investigate using paranormal devices located in the truck to find evidence. Once you've found enough evidence to determine the Entity haunting the Manor, you'll finalize the investigation at the Truck and gain access to Security Level 1 . Time of day begins ticking once you finalize the Investigation. But there's a twist. The time of day will start at 1PM for a correct guess and 7PM if you are wrong.
changedNew Map - Hollow ManorYou'll have 4 primary tools to perform your investigation . Let's go through them quickly: UV - The UV light is used to find fingerprints left behind after a physical interaction such as the entity opening a door occurs. EMF - The EMF is used to find a Level 5 EMF reading that can be left behind following paranormal interactions with electronics such as a TV or even when objects are thrown/lifted into the air. Thermometer - The Thermometer is used to find freezing temps or a temp below 5 degrees Celsius. Sometimes players might need to use a Ouija Board to get a freezing temp reading on the Thermometer. Video Camera - The Video Camera is used to see Ghost Orbs which sometimes might appear as dust. Using a Music Box can sometimes help force them to appear if you can't see them.
addedNew Map - Hollow ManorHunts - players will be occasionally hunted and will need to hide and survive until it ends so be mindful of your sanity and drink some coffee when it's getting low. Sketchy has provided a Coffee Machine in the truck for you, but its limited so don't be too greedy if you're with a group!. Now I could go on and on about the details regarding this awesome new feature, but I think you Ghost Hunters get the idea. Just be warned that there are jump scares... this house is going to test more than just your investigation skills. Halloween EVENT!! This Halloween, Sketchy will ask you to head to Hollow Manor and find spooky items to bring and toss into Elizabeth's Cauldron in return for Candy that you can use to purchase Halloween Exclusive rewards! So what can you buy? All the Halloween Stuff from LAST year. PLUS, New Halloween Themed Plush! New Halloween Themed Misc! New Halloween Themed Weapon Charms! New Halloween Themed Skins!
