Me and my friends only play this game with eachother, its so fuckin funny just clowning the shit outta the ghost. Like when a ghost passes through a DOTS, its the funniest animation in the game, we all burst out laughing at it.
It's really validating seeing you break this down literally the exact way my and my small group play this game haha. The horror aspect wore off really quickly, but we love getting in and solving the puzzle and going for perfect runs on nightmare mode/challenge modes as often as possible.
I did a math project last semester about applying math to any concept. So I chose phasmophobia and how to apply sets, Venn diagrams, and logic gates to it. Super cool to see someone else thought the same thing
over time, the devs have given the ghosts such great personalities to identify them by. custom modes can be so much fun with a knowledgeable group. was able to identify a moroi just because I heard someone die and suddenly the ghost was hunting a little faster.
Yes! Phasmophobia reminds me of microbiology lab in college. You have to identify an invisible killer, but you can't realistically run every possible test. You have to choose tests based on time, difficulty, cost, and potential information value. Early, you do something like a Gram stain, which doesn't take much time, and cuts the list in half whether you get positive or negative. Later, you do something like a special salted Petri dish that only Staph can grow on, but takes a whole day, and provides no information if it's not Staph. Sounds a lot like Phasmo, right?
After 600 in game hours I still find this game to be one of my fav, every game is unique and there are so many way to attack a game (or use custom settings)
Another Logic Game is Demonologist. It is called a Phasmo-like for a similar gameplay style, with the three pieces of evidence and ghost behavior deduction. What made the game different? - That game is tailored to the horror aspect of the genre. - Jump scares and interactive Words are found in the lobby and on maps. - The crucifixes are a proactive way to stop a hunt. - The dead players are a secondhand way of finding evidence and items. (Very handy for distractions in a hunt. Because the dead can call the ghost towards them) - The players can dress their hunters in the character customization menu.
Very nice production quality, editing, points and flow of the video, I didn't expect such a tiny channel to be one who made this, in a good way of course.
this is really interesting since i played phas in its early stages, when 3 evidence was more common on harder difficulties. haven’t played since and this video shows why i’m bad at that game now
I write logic puzzles for activity packs at my workplace and I love adding in ghost-hunting themed logic puzzles. It’s so satisfying to figure out a tough ghost each time I play phasmo with my friends and I love the game structure.
Seeing this video gave me a lot of hope honestly. I've been toying around with the idea of content creation (not on this channel, not trying to advertise on your video haha), and was worried about whether my intended audience would find my content. But this video showed on my homepage, I thoroughly enjoyed it, and I was SHOCKED to see you at 80 subs. Just goes to show that if you make content, there's always a good chance that the people who wanna see it, will. Have a sub, and keep going dude! You're doing great!
You are totally right, dear sir! That's why I personally enjoy this game and the reaction of some friends. Entering the house and being able to tell the ghost in seconds with no "evidence" always shocks them, because they don't remember most of the stuff... It's big brain time! x)
As a player that maily plays with 0 evidence and 0 sanity alone, I have to say that it is indeed a Puzzle and Strategy game and the horror aspect is so soft that it basically doesn't exist. It's basically horror for youngsters. My run of the mill strategy is: -> Go in with a Flashlight, a Lighter and Smudge Sticks. -> Get the breaker on. If the ghost hunts before I can do it, I hide. -> Then wait for the ghost to hunt again. I mainly go to Tanglewood so I usually try to stay behind the garage door far away from the door so I can test for a Yokai. --> If the ghost is normal movement speed, I roll out all the fast/slow ghosts directly (Rev, Twins, Moroi, Deogen, Hantu and Thaye) - 18 more to go. --> If the ghost finds me and doesn't lose me easily, I roll out Yokai. - 17 more to go. --> If the ghost doesn't speed up when they see me with the flashlight open, I roll out Jinn and Raiju. - 15 more to go. --> If the ghost speeds up but slows down when I turn off my flashlight, it's a Raiju. --> If the ghost has a normal blink, I roll out Oni and Phantom. - 13 more to go. --> If the ghost hunts while a candle is in the room and consumes a crucifix, I roll out Onryo. - 12 more to go. --> If I make an item pile and it explodes, it's a Poltergeist. If not for a long time, I roll out Poltergeist. - 11 more to go. --> If the ghost steps in salt, I roll out Wraith. - 10 more to go. --> If the ghost hunts below 3 minutes after smudging, I roll out Spirit - 9 more to go. --> If the ghost doesn't hunt below 90 seconds after 4 smudges, I roll out Demon - 8 more to go. --> If the ghost hunts on top of me, I roll out Shade - 7 more to go. --> If the ghost still has footsteps after my flashlight stops flickering and it didn't go to the basement / upstairs, I roll out Myling. - 6 more to go. --> If the ghost doesn't change movement speeds throughout the contract, I roll out Mimic. - 5 more to go. --> If the ghost doesn't blink for an entire hunt or for 4+ hunts in a row, I roll out Obake - 4 more to go. --> If the ghost roams around, I roll out Goryo. - 3 more to go. --> If the ghost doesn't scream for 4 whispers in a row on the Paramic, I roll out Banshee - 2 more to go. Usually I am left between Yurei and Mare. Here, I usually analyze if the ghost fully closed an open door next to me, if it touched the front door, if it closed any lights, if it turned on any lights etc. Of course, my strategy is not fail proof since I had ghosts that behaved like Onryos, but they were not Onryos, I had Shades hunt on top of me, Demons that always hunted after 90 seconds, ghosts that never hunted under 3 minutes even though they were not Spirits etc.
oh boy with little setup and proper cursed possesion you may exclude 18 ghosts on the first hunt, I don't think 0 sanity is a good strategy, the multiplier is not worth it.
Great video! Definitely hit on why I love the game so much. I'm also not much of a horror game fan, not because they're too scary, but sort of the opposite; they usually make me feel very little, and without the spooks and jump scares, the gameplay tends to be lacking. Phasmo, on the other hand, is just a real fun puzzle game even without the horror elements. Its one of the very few horror games that HAVE startled me, because I've got so focused on solving that some of the acts take me by surprise. There was a time where I'd played 100s of hours and loved doing 0 evidence runs with pals, but after putting it down for a year or so, it's a hard one to pick back up thanks to the sheer volume of updates (not a negative, I'm so glad to see the devs still pouring love into this game). I really need to find me some good updated info vids.
What the hell. I subscribed to your awesome channel for your HITMAN content (my favourite game) and now you're covering my second favourite game as well? This video is very well put together by the way, I just checked your subscriber count and I expected well into the tens of thousands 😬 once the algorithm favours your videos I'm sure you'll get more!
Amazing video! It really is rewarding when you start to see yourself getting better at the puzzle aspect of the game! 😊 Even after 1000 hours the jumpscares still get me 😂
3:13 There are more abilities that were not mentioned here at all, such as the Jinn's Sanity ability, The Jinn never turning off the breaker, the Twins having strange interaction behaviors, Shades preferring Airball ghost events and to show itself in a translucent form, and Onis preferring to use the physical form during ghost events/hunts.
really great video! this is exactly why i love this game so much, it always feels so rewarding when you guess the ghost at minimal/zero evidence based on your knowledge of how the ghosts behave and interact :)
maaan, you’re so right about Phasmophobia bein’ more a logic game rather than a horror! Though, frankly speaking, first ~100 hours I was yelling and screaming, now it’s just a nice relaxing puzzle
you shouldve tried to use the shape shift at 0:49 in the video because thats a good example of what a ghost can do in this case it would be an obake and we found that out with 0 evidence.
After watching this video, I thought that this channel would have at least 10k subs, based on production quality alone, and boy was I shocked! You deserve so much more :(
It was pretty much a meme in the previous patch to just vote for Jinn whenever the ghost got instantly mad on professional mode, and my group was 90% of the time right.
i loved the way you explain things, this is mostly my thought process as well haha. i'm still scared though despite mostly knowing whats coming XD (though it helps im way too into the game that ive created an actual logic puzzle using game information and written 80+ pages of bs regarding this game so yeah. i am clearly not obsessed :P)
first video ive seen of you and im loving it so far. too scared to play this myself but i love the concept. i'll enjoy more of your deconstruction, i love logic games
its not actually that bad when you play with other people, i struggled to play it at first until i played multiplayer and learned more things about the game, it actually turned out to be quite fun and i got hooked after that
This is gonna be the video I show my friends when they ask if they should play this game. I can't believe you actually got this spot on in such an understandable way. This is great! Normally people forget to explain that everything is way more complicated than the surface level 3 evidence. I remember back way in the day when there were half the maps and less ghosts than we have now, when the game was a lot buggier and less functional, yet the ghosts still had some general unique individual behavior. However, it was more, less think, and more, run the hell away or you die. Kinda crazy then. Especially nightmare asylum lmao. -also, I cannot wait for the final mini update concluding v0.10 when the ghosts get revamped and the game gets scarier. I'm so excited. Getting to lvl 15k was a fun challenge and all for this new progression update, but the game can get boring at times, for it gets repetitive. One last thing... I love all the mini clips of key ghost behavior moments you've collected.
I honestly miss the days when this game used to scare me but it's still really fun to me BECAUSE of the detective aspect. Thank goodness for Insym for making me aware of this style of gameplay and DK for making it an official way to play. I know he was really against the idea of extra modes of difficulty at first, but came around to the idea of Nightmare, Insanity, and Custom Difficulty when he saw how much fun the community was having playing that way.
I'm actually impressed by the way you have analysed a horror game where even the top youtubers in this genre flail around aimlessly just to chance at mere clues to win the game. Your proper planning and key deductions is pretty inspiring. You have gotten yourself a subscribe from me. Hope you will make videos like this soon.
I think it's worth noting that even on difficulties with hidden evidences, you can still rule out certain ghosts based off evidence alone. If you're on a difficulty with 1 hidden evi (nightmare) and you manage to rule out 2 evidences, you can rule out all ghosts which share those two evidences since they can't hide both of them. If you're on a difficulty with 2 hidden evidences (insanity) and manage to rule out 3 evis, you can rule out the 1 ghost with all three of those since it can't hide all its evis
"When I was a kid - real sick all the time, not able to go out that much - I was really into detective stories, Sherlock Holmes and all that. I always wanted to figure things out. Anyway, my dad had this row of plant-pots on the wall outside the house, and they were always getting knocked over, but he could never figure out what was doing it. That was pretty much at my peak of detective obsession, so I was on the case like nothing else. I was stupid, so I couldn't actually deduce anything, you understand, so I ended up buying this cheap spy camera and recording the wall overnight. It was a stray cat. My dad ended up kicking it to death, like I should have known he would. Curiosity … well, you know the saying. Everyone involved would have been better off if I'd minded my own business. ... It's taken me my whole life to realize, but I'm not the kind of person that can be a detective. Here, in this house, I'm just a clay pot."
Pro: *Guesses what type the ghost is by 2 evidences and knowing ghost behaviours * Noob: *Guesses what type the ghost is by 3 evidences * Me: * Enters the home * *Gets obliterated by the ghost * "-Yes, there's a ghost in the house"
Brilliant video! Well-edited, good voice over, although I think the background music could be turned down a bit. It's basically exactly how I feel about the game after all these hours. Beyond the horror, Phasmophobia is just a great game all around.
Phasmo is absolutely a logic puzzle game with a little flair added, that's what makes it fun. However, Nightmare is 2 evidence - Insanity is 1 evidence & no cursed possession
this is an awesome video. I wonder what a logic tree that accounted for ever ghost would look like. ngl I would genuinly pay to watch a video that talked about the entire logic tree.
There is no sanity monitor in nightmare mode so you can't do a shade/demon/onryo check like you claim. You have to instead check for those ghosts by crucific effective radius radius, the candle test, and by forcing two people to stay in the ghost room. Of course, your point stands, I just want to make sure people are aware that nightmare mode with 1 piece of evidence is REALLY hard.
Disclaimer: Ive noticed many things people mistake about mimics. Despite their name and journal entry, the mimic can only give 4 evidence. The ones listed in the journal + ghost orbs. They can mimic things like onryos fingies. But not other evidences
It depends on how you play it. One of my friends makes it a point to not know much about the game and only play on professional difficulty. And he only plays with friends. A very different experience.
The game is really fun with friends. When the ghost hunts and everyone's freaking out and laughing. But then after like 5 rounds it stops being scary and is just a mundane routine.
Cant believe this is how i find out that the ghosts dont display all the evidences on higher difficulties. I cannot tell you how many times my group and i have spent like 20 minutes trying to find a third peice of evidence and just assuming it was bugged
What I really enjoy about the game is the random factor. No game feels the same and even if you get the same ghost type 3 times in a row, you still don't feel bored because of the varieties in activity, models, it's reactions to stuff and similar. Unless it's a shade (fuck shades)
I wish it was this simple. But *every* time I play this game, either 1) we have 3 pieces of evidence that narrows it down to a single possibility, and it still turns out to not be that, or 2) we only get 1 or two pieces of evidence which narrows it down to 2-5 possibilities, so we guess one of those, and it's something else entirely that we already proved it wasn't. I would love to play this game if it operated in the logical way it presents itself, but it's never consistent. So I lost interest.
RNG does make it a little fucky sometimes. Just cos a ghost *can* do something, doesnt mean it will. Plenty of frustrating moments with that. As for the 3 pieces of evidence narrowing it down to a single possibility but still being wrong, i'm not sure what you mean. Barring awareness of the Mimic's unique extra evidence with orbs, those rules are iron-clan. Might be a case of someone you play with misunderstanding how a piece of evidence works and giving you a false-flag?
You can't beat the classic strategy of "eh the ghost is kinda aggresive, probably something like a demon" then get it wrong
*Walks in.*
*Ghosts hunts.*
"It's a demon."
*Ghost was a mimic.*

Never really thought of it as a "logic" game. But yeah I can see it! After almost 300 hours, the logic part is the part i find the most fun
yeah its the best part
it shows how well made the game is
It definitely is when u start using secondary evidence

Wait, what have you been doing for 300 hours playing a logic game without realizing it's a logic game?
@@Eknoma cuz you see it as horror, and completly ignore that what you basically do the whole time is logic game stuff
It's like a detective game, where you gather evidences and then make conclusion who is the killer
except the killer is invisible and trying to kill you

Shadows of Phasmo ayo?
This is just like amogus
While being chased by the killer, who is already dead and hiding in the shadows... of doubt... go play that game, it's a good detective sim.
Playing Phasmophobia with friends is pretty fun/funny. Playing alone fills me with so much fear.
It's pretty boring honestly, it's way more fun to play with people and have them die and shit
Me and my friends only play this game with eachother, its so fuckin funny just clowning the shit outta the ghost. Like when a ghost passes through a DOTS, its the funniest animation in the game, we all burst out laughing at it.
I wouldn't mind playing solo if they increased the item carry limit. I end up playing solo while my friend stays in the van anyway XD

Tbf, playing in groups is way less scary than playing solo
I did a math project last semester about applying math to any concept. So I chose phasmophobia and how to apply sets, Venn diagrams, and logic gates to it. Super cool to see someone else thought the same thing
i would love to have a look at this, do you have it somewhere on blog or webpage?
that's so cool yo
I wanna see it too!!
dude... can you show us on how your project went out? interesting
over time, the devs have given the ghosts such great personalities to identify them by. custom modes can be so much fun with a knowledgeable group. was able to identify a moroi just because I heard someone die and suddenly the ghost was hunting a little faster.

If you're on a difficulty with 1 hidden evi (nightmare) and you manage to rule out 2 evidences, you can rule out all ghosts which share those two evidences since they can't hide both of them.
If you're on a difficulty with 2 hidden evidences (insanity) and manage to rule out 3 evis, you can rule out the 1 ghost with all three of those since it can't hide all its evis

Damn, nice video with great production, keep it up!
This is how I try to explain phasmo when people ask me if I get scared when playing it.
Excelente forma de verlo! justo hoy pensaba en que vuelve Phasmophobia lo que es y como funcionan los fantasmas, tu análisis está genial
"When I was a kid - real sick all the time, not able to go out that much - I was really into detective stories, Sherlock Holmes and all that. I always wanted to figure things out. Anyway, my dad had this row of plant-pots on the wall outside the house, and they were always getting knocked over, but he could never figure out what was doing it. That was pretty much at my peak of detective obsession, so I was on the case like nothing else. I was stupid, so I couldn't actually deduce anything, you understand, so I ended up buying this cheap spy camera and recording the wall overnight.
It was a stray cat. My dad ended up kicking it to death, like I should have known he would. Curiosity … well, you know the saying. Everyone involved would have been better off if I'd minded my own business.
...
It's taken me my whole life to realize, but I'm not the kind of person that can be a detective. Here, in this house, I'm just a clay pot."
this is a very well made video!
Logic, such as the Shade hunting in a room full of people.
This is a good video. May the algorithm carry it to even greater heights o7
Pro: *Guesses what type the ghost is by 2 evidences and knowing ghost behaviours *
Noob: *Guesses what type the ghost is by 3 evidences *
Me: * Enters the home * *Gets obliterated by the ghost * "-Yes, there's a ghost in the house"
wait the dots on both walls look cool af
Brilliant video! Well-edited, good voice over, although I think the background music could be turned down a bit.
It's basically exactly how I feel about the game after all these hours. Beyond the horror, Phasmophobia is just a great game all around.
impressive video, become famous already
Really rough when you can’t see and know your sanity. You tell mostly by the behavior and hunt characteristics
wow so i can notice its an obake at 0:47 seconds but not in literally every game i play
I have became the 1000th sub You are welcome ShadowStryk :D
Also Loved the video
I really enjoyed this kind of a video, when can we expect more?
Phasmo is absolutely a logic puzzle game with a little flair added, that's what makes it fun.
However, Nightmare is 2 evidence - Insanity is 1 evidence & no cursed possession
Get this man more subs
Poltergeist at the end nice
Are you telling me that a game where you investigate things is based on logic? Thats wild.
this is an awesome video. I wonder what a logic tree that accounted for ever ghost would look like. ngl I would genuinly pay to watch a video that talked about the entire logic tree.
When I just started playing
Ghost event: alt F4
Ghost event now: heh... Cool, *snap pic*
There is no sanity monitor in nightmare mode so you can't do a shade/demon/onryo check like you claim.
You have to instead check for those ghosts by crucific effective radius radius, the candle test, and by forcing two people to stay in the ghost room.
Of course, your point stands, I just want to make sure people are aware that nightmare mode with 1 piece of evidence is REALLY hard.
Br o got so scared he lit the smudgestick
Gotta remake this lol. New update means when you see your breath it doesn’t mean it’s freezing temps. Just that its cold.
Disclaimer: Ive noticed many things people mistake about mimics. Despite their name and journal entry, the mimic can only give 4 evidence. The ones listed in the journal + ghost orbs. They can mimic things like onryos fingies. But not other evidences
0:50 obake jumpscare!
It depends on how you play it. One of my friends makes it a point to not know much about the game and only play on professional difficulty. And he only plays with friends. A very different experience.
The game is really fun with friends. When the ghost hunts and everyone's freaking out and laughing. But then after like 5 rounds it stops being scary and is just a mundane routine.
0:48 That is an Obake
2:15 and that is an Onryo
Phasmaphobia is a "run to the exit" kinda game for me
the most W video ever about phasmophobia. you just have 1 more subscriber.
super well made video, i think this explains phasmo better than the devs do, lol nice work!
Cant believe this is how i find out that the ghosts dont display all the evidences on higher difficulties.
I cannot tell you how many times my group and i have spent like 20 minutes trying to find a third peice of evidence and just assuming it was bugged
This is a well done video.
3:54 would the demon not be included here too?
a very interesting take, but makes complete sense the more i think about it
What I really enjoy about the game is the random factor. No game feels the same and even if you get the same ghost type 3 times in a row, you still don't feel bored because of the varieties in activity, models, it's reactions to stuff and similar. Unless it's a shade (fuck shades)
The music is way too loud
I wish it was this simple. But *every* time I play this game, either 1) we have 3 pieces of evidence that narrows it down to a single possibility, and it still turns out to not be that, or 2) we only get 1 or two pieces of evidence which narrows it down to 2-5 possibilities, so we guess one of those, and it's something else entirely that we already proved it wasn't.
I would love to play this game if it operated in the logical way it presents itself, but it's never consistent. So I lost interest.
RNG does make it a little fucky sometimes. Just cos a ghost *can* do something, doesnt mean it will. Plenty of frustrating moments with that.
As for the 3 pieces of evidence narrowing it down to a single possibility but still being wrong, i'm not sure what you mean. Barring awareness of the Mimic's unique extra evidence with orbs, those rules are iron-clan. Might be a case of someone you play with misunderstanding how a piece of evidence works and giving you a false-flag?
