New Location – ‘Point Hope’
The most show-stopping addition in the v0.10.0.0 update to Phasmophobia is the new location of Point Hope. The new location is unlocked at level 15, and sports a macabre maritime theme.
[Point Hope] will challenge players in new ways. You’ll have to use different techniques for some of those pesky ghost abilities while playing on lower-evidence game modes.
