Phasmophobia adds voodoo doll, tarot deck, and other scare necessities

Phasmophobia is one of the best horror games ever made, a unique co-op experience that's loosely based on those American haunted house shows but amazingly inventive, surprising, and replayable with it. And scary! This game frightens the bejeesus out of me, but I keep coming back for that sweet hit of cold, panicked fear...

Phasmophobia adds Santa Claus ghost for the holiday season

Early access horror game sensation Phasmophobia keeps adding content regularly across 2021, including seasonal-appropriate fare like Halloween’s Nightmare update that added Slender Man. Christmas is no exception it seems, as sightings of a ghostly version of Santa Claus have recently been reported after the mysterious Cursed Possessions update happened recently.

The patch was teased a couple of weeks ago with some vague notes alluding to a Christmas [REDACTED] Update and a “strange new ghost type”. We weren’t sure what that meant until recently, when people started getting terrorized by the ghost of Santa Claus unexpectedly. Cursed Possessions also adds ghostly items to the game such as voodoo dolls, summoning circles, Ouija boards, and music boxes.

As the update indicates: "Several sightings have been noted of cursed objects, in locations where a ghost is haunting. These must be the cause of ghosts being trapped there. You might be able to use these to your advantage, but be careful, we don't know what they're capable of." Other sundry Christmas touches, such as holiday decorations and snowfall, are also now live in the game.

The Phasmophobia Cursed Possessions v0.5.0 update has now launched and alongside the titular items, the patch brings with it a new "elusive, mysterious, copycat ghost" - and a far more seasonal surprise. Be good for goodness sake, because Santa Claus has come to town.

Phasmophobia has been teasing its new Christmas update for a while now, with talk of Summoning Circles and even Tarot cards. The full Cursed Possessions update is out now, which brings Phasmophobia up to version 0.5.0 and adds five of these sanity-draining items that can help or hinder the player - including a Music Box that ghosts sing to, a Haunted Mirror, and a Tortured Voodoo Doll.

In a surprising move, Kinetic Games has also added a tricky new ghost-type called The Mimic, which the journal describes as an "elusive, mysterious, copycat ghost". It mirrors the traits of other spirits and other than Ghost Orbs there is no easy way to identify it - using the evidence provided it's more a matter of working out what it's not, which is extra hard with the new Nightmare difficulty.
