The short beta-test highlighted some issues with the Wisp that should be resolved now, and its behavior will be updated next update (early 2024) in the Entity Update part. 2. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40514161/ab4c60b7df5b5860125ef7e8ab60bf3ac5e649c3.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40514161/1d21155c61d06c0b5c38d73b54575661335787b2.png The Wisp will not interact with the light switches (Stroboscopic and simple on/off) but will move objects and block doors.

Back with a new public-test version before the end of 2023! Below you will find a summary of this update, but first.. -- New Entity Since the offices of Ghost Exorcism Inc. have been able to analyze paranormal fires, several discoveries have been made, such as notebooks of writing and drawing spontaneously combusting, as well as smoking crucifixes or statues of Mary. The latest report from our agents indicates the presence of a new entity, named the Wisp. Its appearance and behavior have been deemed appropriate for beginner exorcists, but be careful! It can be somewhat irritable, especially when exorcists interfere with lights. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40514161/d98429912adf4a419ed2b3686a889d32f38cfe0a.png -- Spectator Mode With the goal of offering new tools to players and content creators, a "Spectator" mode has been added. Only the host of a multiplayer game can be a spectator, and thus follow the players during their missions, invisible to them. Spectators are unable to interact with objects or tools. They can simply spectate. Spectators are able to walk through doors. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40514161/b2a188f335ec42d66a261cd3df1fe2695d15f3bb.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40514161/1d21155c61d06c0b5c38d73b54575661335787b2.png NEW GHOST TYPE: Wisp - This entity seems to appear when its soul has been ignored for too long, preventing it from reaching the beyond. It prefers to stay in the light, fearing that the darkness of its past deeds will overtake it. SPECTATOR MODE! Only the host can be spectator. To activate spectator mode, open the player Profile screen in the tablet (click on the avatar in the corner), and select "Spectator Mode". This can only be toggled while at the Hub. We've updated the appearance of the "entity hands" for the Shadow (the hands that appear on-screen when the entity has grabbed you). {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40514161/62e23be8838ad027c064ddb0cef27402fac16734.png We have fixed a problem which caused the Hub board to not correctly switch to a new contract, if a new contract was selected before hitting the "back to main" button. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40514161/b09c728b64a84dba71d2f183e91a45ae731d47a1.png You are welcome to help us translate the game by visiting our Google Sheets link, and following the instructions: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1XhVjDVFWeQUeMsVzdduRHk55qq9vRneKlBo0PAuf5oo/edit#gid=0 Don't forget your Crucifixes and Statues of Mary. - The Ghost Exorcism Inc. teamHotfix - 11/16/2023Nov 13, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsHello Exorcists!

This, along with other corrections we've made, should help players who are having problems getting their microphone to work in the game. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40514161/62e23be8838ad027c064ddb0cef27402fac16734.png In Japan, there should no longer be a 'totem' or 'cursed object' beneath the central temple, which is unobtainable. We have made a correction that should prevent multiplayer lobbies from becoming duplicated or bugged. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40514161/b09c728b64a84dba71d2f183e91a45ae731d47a1.png You are welcome to help us translate the game by visiting our Google Sheets link, and following the instructions: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1XhVjDVFWeQUeMsVzdduRHk55qq9vRneKlBo0PAuf5oo/edit#gid=0 Don't forget your Crucifixes and Statues of Mary. - The Ghost Exorcism Inc. team[Public] Halloween Update - 10/23/2023Oct 23, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsHello Exorcists! Halloween is almost here! This much-loved time is an opportunity for horror games to show what they're capable of! Today, we are bringing both updates from the beta branch over to the main branch. This update includes a new map, a new game mode, three new possible evidences, new equipment, four new exorcism steps, Halloween-themed decorations in the hub, as well as various fixes and adjustments. So here is the complete patch notes: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40514161/1d21155c61d06c0b5c38d73b54575661335787b2.png New Evidence: Notebook Fire - The Notebook can now catch fire when nearby some entities, and upon doing so will be evidence. New Evidence: Smoke: Crucifix - The Crucifix can now begin smoking when nearby some entities, and upon doing so will be evidence. New Evidence: Smoke: Mary Statue - The Mary Statue can now begin smoking when nearby some entities, and upon doing so will be evidence. New Map: ITALY - Catacombe Obscura - For centuries, these catacombs initially served as burial grounds for non-cremated bodies.

Let us restore the peace and sanctity of this historical space. New Equipment: Glowsticks - Players can now buy a pack of glowsticks. Each package contains 4 glowsticks. The glowstick color can be changed with the "Alt Activate" key (usually 'Q' by default). These should come in handy when exploring the new underground labyrinth, or for marking important objects or locations. Multi-Entity contracts can now have up to 3 entities! Quick Multi-Entity contracts will still have 2 entities, but Full Multi-Entity contracts will now have 3! New Exorcism Step: You may be asked to break a Tiger Eye capsule on the Dread Origin.

We're excited for you to try out this new location! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40514161/96bc421d32cd51dda7e0ec82e4e09489f03e49d5.png Additionally, we're adding three new pieces of evidence to the Ghostpedia: Notebook Fire, Smoking Crucifix, and the Smoking Mary Statue. These are sure to spice up your contracts! More details on how these pieces of evidence work will be in upcoming announcements. What was that last thing we wanted to add? Hmm... Well, we've just been informed that a photograph has arrived at our headquarters, taken from within the very catacombs we're planning to work with. Can you see the two entities in this photo?

Thanks to your feedback and our team, the game is what it is today: a frightening and fun investigation and exorcism experience. This is only the beginning because we still have a lot to bring to Ghost Exorcism INC. We're thrilled to present you with a Roadmap of what is planned for the rest of the year 2023: - Proper support for controllers. - A new entity. - A new map. - A new type of evidence to hunt entities. - Give players the possibility to turn off the headlights of the vehicle. - Make Multi-Entity possible in "Rescue" type contracts. - Give players the possibility to send back material that they have spawned but no longer want. - Entity Behavior Update (Part 2): This update will introduce even more unique entity behaviors and abilities, making the encounters even more thrilling and engaging. - New playable character. - Instant Camera balance changes. Also, a new and significant change. We've decided to lower the price of Ghost Exorcism INC, particularly since the game is now two years old and as a measure of realignment with the current market. This price adjustment should take effect in the next few days. We await your further feedback on this roadmap and update! We thank you for your past, present, and future feedback and love. We look forward to showing you more with future updates. Stay tuned!

The first part of our update to enhance the flavor/uniqueness of Entities was been highly appreciated, and we express our gratitude for that. We are now releasing this update on the main branch. This update includes some uniqueness updates for the Poltergeist, Memory, and Revenant. Below, you will find the patchnotes detailing what was included in the 06/22/2023 update. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40514161/1d21155c61d06c0b5c38d73b54575661335787b2.png We've started deploying entity flavor updates! In this first stage, we're launching flavor updates for the Memory, Revenant, and Poltergeist. Exorcists will see visual effects when near the Memory and Revenant. Specifically, the Memory will generate a faded, photograph-like visual along with an audio effect that mimics a record player. The Revenant's effect will reflect its ability to drain life force. The Poltergeist will receive enhanced levitation capabilities, allowing for more thrilling "floating object" events. New map! Denmark - Harrowgate Road - The former resident, once respected with a large family, underwent a bitter transformation after their spouse's death. Alienating neighbors, children, and siblings, their lingering anger, even in death, now disrupts the neighborhood, endangering both the community and those clearing the property. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40514161/62e23be8838ad027c064ddb0cef27402fac16734.png We have made corrections to the way several decoration-objects are held (dragged).

We've started deploying entity flavor updates to the beta (public test) branch! In this first stage, we're launching flavor updates for the Memory, Revenant, and Poltergeist. Exorcists will witness visual effects when near the Memory and Revenant, whereas the Poltergeist will acquire a unique power only it can use. We're preparing several more robust updates that will significantly enhance the distinctiveness of each entity type. Moreover, a new map will be introduced alongside these interactions. More details will be available in the patch notes.

Denmark - Harrowgate Road - The former resident, once respected with a large family, underwent a bitter transformation after their spouse's death. Alienating neighbors, children, and siblings, their lingering anger, even in death, now disrupts the neighborhood, endangering both the community and those clearing the property. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40514161/62e23be8838ad027c064ddb0cef27402fac16734.png We have made corrections to the way several decoration-objects are held (dragged). Many objects should no longer be held way up above the exorcists head when they are being dragged or moved. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40514161/b09c728b64a84dba71d2f183e91a45ae731d47a1.png You are welcome to help us translate the game by visiting our Google Sheets link, and following the instructions: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1XhVjDVFWeQUeMsVzdduRHk55qq9vRneKlBo0PAuf5oo/edit#gid=0 Don't forget your Crucifixes and Statues of Mary. - The Ghost Exorcism Inc. team[Public] New features, and bug fixes! - 05/31/2023May 31, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsHello Exorcists ! Thank you for the feedback on the last update. We continue to improve and update Ghost Exorcism INC so that our game constantly pushes the limits and can provide the best gaming experience possible. We are releasing the beta update from 05/24/2023 on the public branch with some additional fixes and improvements. Here are the patch notes for this update, as well as the corrections and additional modifications that we have made since the beta. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40514161/1d21155c61d06c0b5c38d73b54575661335787b2.png New Feature: Favorite Equipment! You can now mark equipment as "Favorite" by clicking the heart icon when the item is selected. Additionally, we've introduced a new button that automatically spawns one of each item from your favorites list. New Photo Category: Invisible Cursed Objects. You can now see and photograph Invisible Cursed Objects using the Photo Camera. These objects will behave like normal cursed objects once they're made visible by the Instant Camera's flash. We've adjusted some of the pentagrams, infestations, and surface writings/drawings on various maps. These should be easier to find now. We've expanded the number of unique spawn locations in the "deposit zone", allowing more large objects to spawn without stacking on top of each other. After gathering player feedback, we have removed Steam achievements for the Silver, Gold, Emerald, Amethyst, Ruby, Diamond, and Prism prestige levels. However, you can still achieve these prestige levels in-game, and they will be displayed to your teammates in multiplayer games. We have decided this was good feedback, and a good change, because we have noticed some players really want to complete all achievements in the game. After extensive testing we have found that some of the prestige achievements simply took longer to obtain than we had intended/expected. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40514161/62e23be8838ad027c064ddb0cef27402fac16734.png Players will no longer receive secondary objectives to "witness an entity hit/break a door" when the only entity present is a Memory. The keybindings displayed on the Tutorial and Hub boards will now accurately reflect any custom keybindings set by players. We now support additional keys for both QWERTY and AZERTY layouts. We've fixed a bug that made some players' custom keybindings appear to reset upon starting a contract. We've fixed issues with salt piles and lit incense on the floor, which sometimes wouldn't activate on entities that had these steps in their exorcism process. (All Maps) We've fixed over 80 miscellaneous issues across various maps, including missing textures, incorrect textures, decoration adjustments, lighting problems, decoration placement issues, and low texture resolutions. The huge amount of minor map corrections is simply too extensive to list here. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40514161/b09c728b64a84dba71d2f183e91a45ae731d47a1.png You are welcome to help us translate the game by visiting our Google Sheets link, and following th...[Beta] New features, and bug fixes! - 05/24/2023May 24, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsHello Exorcists! We're rolling out an update on the beta "public test" branch! New features, additions, bug fixes – it's all there - and the patch notes are available right after. While you're exploring the improvements, we're hard at work on a new map: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40514161/e4dc8441f03aa0423699e6686778735180ee9d69.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40514161/039ca76f012f2e332807a21ca24f73e776255b88.png Not to mention the improved shadows in this update...

Stay tuned! As a reminder, the "public test" beta is accessible by going to your Steam library, right-clicking -> Properties on Ghost Exorcism INC, going to the "Beta" tab, and selecting "public-test" from the dropdown list. An update will then launch to allow you to play in advance with the new features available in this patchnote. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40514161/1d21155c61d06c0b5c38d73b54575661335787b2.png New Feature: Favorite Equipment!

After the great reception of the "Multi-Entities" update, the Ghost Exorcism INC team is continuing to prepare many additions and improvements for you. While waiting for the opportunity to tell you more, we have found and fixed several in-game issues and made some slight changes, in particular the improvement of the main board in the HUB because many players still think now that the tutorial is obligatory whereas it is not. More details in the patchnotes below. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40514161/1d21155c61d06c0b5c38d73b54575661335787b2.png We have added Billy (the doll) as non-evidence in the Encyclopedia. We have added lit candles next to a very specific gravestone in the Cemetery. This is to help players find/see this location, as it can contain some important gear on Rescue contracts (or surface writing/drawing). We have updated the Ghostpedia evidence selectors. They are slightly smaller now, and should have a lot less bugs associated with the buttons. We have added color-code dots in the Encylcopedia, for the "Contract Types". We have updated the main board in the Hub. This will hopefully prevent/resolve continued confusion from players who believe the tutorial was/is "required". {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40514161/62e23be8838ad027c064ddb0cef27402fac16734.png Finding unconscious employees in non-rescue missions should now be possible again. We have corrected the number of possible Occult Objects per contract. ((# of evidence per 1 entity) x #OfEntity + (#OfMaxTotems x #OfEntity) (also known as 10 maximum possible occult objects). We have mostly fixed the "automatic refresh" in the public lobby browser. We are aware that the lobby automatic refresh does not seem to work on it's first countdown, and are looking to resolve this as soon as possible. Broken Salt capsules (as well as Tiger Eye and Holy Water) should now correctly show as "consumed" (on the ground) after it damages the entity, or was an exorcism step of the entity. We have fixed Holy Water not showing as consumed correctly after destroying a pentagram. We have fixed a problem with the Entity Analyzer which sometimes prevented non-host players from being able to use it to scan multiple entities. Tip from GEx HQ: You can press the Q button (by default) to reset the Entity Analyzer. We have corrected a problem with the destroyed totems not producing the "poof" or "damage" effect against some entities. We have corrected several small lights on the Abandoned Farm map. We have fixed several wall writings/drawings which were not appearing in a white color, as they should have been. We have fixed doors "falling through the ground" after they are broken. We have made a correction to the text alignment of the Ghostpedia tab title. We have fixed the MEL sometimes showing "Infestation" twice. We've made several more corrections to player save files which should greatly reduce the chances of players losing save files, or save progress. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40514161/b09c728b64a84dba71d2f183e91a4...[Beta] Bug fixes & Updates - 03/24/2023Mar 24, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsHello Exorcists!

The entire Ghost Exorcism INC team is proud to announce the public release of the "Multi-Entity" update. We are very happy with the feedback we have had, and we have made the necessary corrections in the beta test phase. Here are the complete patchnote for this update. The occult forces of this world have gone on the offensive. Several Ghost Exorcism INC teams around the world have reported encounters with multiple entities on location. A Fallen and a Demon? A Poltergeist and a Revenant? A Clown and a Fallen? It's chaos! Effective immediately, a new type of contract called "Multi-Entity" is available for experienced and brave exorcists. These new contracts are sure to put you to the test. Proceed with caution; if one entity is exorcised, it will likely increase the strength and aggression of the second entity. Fortunately, our Research & Development department has produced and tested a new technology to deal with the new double threats: the Environment Scanner. A cumbersome device that will allow you to know, by placing it near evidence or at orbs, to whom the analyzed evidence/orbs belong. This is all accompanied by a new haunted location: "The Abandoned Farm". This update is going live on the "public-test" beta branch, you can access it in your Steam library, by right-clicking on Ghost Exorcism INC, then Properties, then going to the Beta tab and selecting "public-test" from the drop-down menu. Finally, we present to you the full patch notes: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40514161/1d21155c61d06c0b5c38d73b54575661335787b2.png New game mode: Multi-Entity! Up to two entities (for now). The "Quick" variant is unlocked at level 65, and the "Full" variant is unlocked at level 100. Some details to mention; You can never have 2 of the same entity in one contract. When one entity is exorcised, the second entity becomes much more aggressive. MEL and Environment Scanner advised. New equipment: The Environment Scanner! This device can detect Orbs, Surface Writing/Drawing, Book Writing/Drawing, Pentagrams, Infestations, and Totems. The Environment Scanner can also detect who is the owner of each. Thie piece of equipment is critical for the new Multi-Entity contracts. New map: The Abandoned Farm (USA). A medium sized home-type map. Exorcist - Full now has a chance to have two entities in the contract. We've added an "Unstuck" button (in the tablet, Bug Report app). We've added this so that we can continue to investigate how we can improve player physics, while preventing players from finding themselves permanently stuck in a contract. By default, the first use of the Unstuck button requires a 5 second wait, but further use of the button will require the player to wait 30 more seconds for each additional use. We've added this time limitation to prevent players from abusing this mechanic. Updated format for contract selection, and contract preview. Updated format for contract pages in the Encyclopedia. Added Entity icons to the text in Encyclopedia summa...[Beta] Update & Bug fixes - 02/17/2023Feb 17, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsHello Exorcists! This is a patchnote for the "Multi-Entity" update currently in beta on the "public-test" branch. Reminder, if you want to try the new beta features, just go to your Steam library, right click on Ghost Exorcism INC, then Properties, go to the beta tab and choose "public-test" in the drop-down menu to activate the beta. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40514161/1d21155c61d06c0b5c38d73b54575661335787b2.png We've added an "I'm Stuck" (unstuck) button (in the tablet, Bug Report app). We've added this so that we can continue to investigate how we can improve player physics, while preventing players from finding themselves permanently stuck in a contract. By default, the first use of the Unstuck button requires a 5 second wait, but further use of the button will require the player to wait 30 more seconds for each additional use. We've added this time limitation to prevent players from abusing this mechanic. We've adjusted the reward for collecting cursed items on Hard contracts, as well as Multi-Entity contracts. The reward per cursed object on both game modes will be slightly nerfed (both xp and $$). {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40514161/62e23be8838ad027c064ddb0cef27402fac16734.png We have finally corrected the bug which would make the Neutrino-Gun, Modified Shotgun (and other items) not work for some players. This was related to an "item dragging" bug. We have finally found and fixed the reason for the "blinking" or "flashing light" bug. This was related to an error in post-processing. The Environment Scanner will no longer detect evidence of exorcised entities. Fixed a bug that prevented players from destroying cockroaches on different maps. (Circus) We have corrected 2 cockroach spawns. They should be much easier to shoot with the Neutrino-Gun now. (Bamboo Temple) We've correct a very small invisible wall that could cause players to become stuck, on the main pathway, near the bell. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40514161/b09c728b64a84dba71d2f183e91a45ae731d47a1.png Czech Updated (Thanks TheCoolestDuck) Russian (Thanks Oliver A. !)
