Truck Overhaul | Update v0.6.3.0

Welcome back ghost hunters, we've got some news for you.

Since changing to the new voice recognition system we have received amazing feedback for the new supported languages and platforms. With this feedback we have realised the new voice recognition didn't quite match the quality of the Windows voice recognition so we have decided to add optional support for the Windows voice recognition back in!

This update is a small but much needed update as all future content and fixes will be going into the custom difficulty update as it gets closer to release. It currently only supports Windows 10 and 11. You can read the patch notes below.

  • Added an option in the main menu to change back to the old windows voice recognition. This will only be available if your language and platform supports it.

The full list of supported languages are:
  • English
  • French
  • German
  • Japanese
  • Chinese
  • Spanish


  • Fixed the Reset text on the controls screen being bigger than the button for some languages

These Phasmophobia speedrunners are scarier than the ghosts they're hunting




Nearly two years after its early access launch, I'm still playing Phasmophobia with my pals and we're pretty efficient ghost hunters. Compared to speedrunners though, we're just a bunch of teens poking around haunted houses. Twice-annual charity marathon Games Done Quick is on this week and a group of four totally pro ghost hunters spent thirty minutes bullying ghosts out of six different houses...

Development Preview #4 | 21/06/22

Welcome back we've got some news for you.

We're glad that you're all enjoying the v0.6.2 update!

The next major update "Custom Difficulty" is getting closer and closer every day. So today we want to show you a couple of new big things, to keep those hype meters cranked up to the max.

Any information and images are Work In Progress (WIP) and may change drastically before releasing



Some of your keen eyes may have noticed the lack of an add/buy button on the new main menu screen.

Well, Ghost Huntin' Distribution has been kind enough to upgrade some of our systems!

You'll soon find a new computer set up in the main menu room, for all your buying and selling needs!



You may also notice a brand-new, highly requested feature has finally made an appearance: Loadouts!



That's right, no longer will you have to buy individual items (or ALL of them) every time you want to start a contract. With Loadouts, you'll be able to set up a template, buy only the items you are missing, and add them all with just a few clicks!

In the future Progression Update, you'll unlock an additional loadout every time you prestige!




We've managed to sneak past Patient 07 lurking in her new home, and grab a quick photo of the Sunny Meadows floorplan!



The number of rooms has been brought down considerably when compared to the current Asylum, but fear not, it's still plenty big enough for ghosts and investigators alike to get lost amongst the long corridors, dense rooms, and smashed lights.

That's it for Development Preview #4. We'll catch you with some more teasers soon!
