indie game Obsessions is one of the breakout games of 2020 and has won The Game Award despite still being in beta. The game is still going through a lot of tweaking, including notable changes to the Banshees. New patch updates this behavior Obsessions Type ghost to make it more suitable for other ghosts.
Obsessions It took off last year after players realized its potential as a cooperative ghost hunting game. The player enters one of many haunted houses equipped with various spooky devices and must determine which type of ghost haunts the house. In the process, the ghost will often become angrier and try to kill the player, disrupt the force, etc. Even though the game has a lower budget, it is still extremely unsettling and stressful, and Obsessions The popularity has allowed the developers to keep updating it and the DLC is promising.
ObsessionsThe Banshee Wraith type is quite scary because it selects a player and won’t move on until it kills them. This will change soon in the new patch, as Banshee will switch to a different target if the player escapes out while being hunted. “Banshee will now hunt like other ghosts and will target any player if the player is targeted outside,” read the patch notes Obsessionsbelong to Twitter.
The new update also fixes a number of bugs, including an issue where objects fall off the floor. About choosing to change Obsessions Banshee, some fans were a bit saddened by the news, saying it detracts from what’s special about Banshee. “I think Banshee’s update was a mistake. This makes Banshee unique as it has only one goal,” explain @lucygreenyt on Twitter. “I don’t like banshee’s update direction. I want Banshee to change the target after 4/5 minutes if the target player doesn’t [leave] During this time, the building was even stripped of its original banshee,” explain @_Y0RU_ on Twitter.
new Obsessions The purpose of the update is to prevent players from essentially tricking Banshee. Players will usually find out who the ghosts are targeting and hide outside to avoid being killed. Then the other players can do whatever they need without taking damage. The reason for this choice is understandable, but perhaps it would be more interesting if the banshee changed targets after a while instead of acting like other ghosts. If enough people miss the old Banshee mechanic, it’s possible that the developers will tweak a future update based on fan feedback.
