Temperature

Temperature affects several gameplay aspects within Phasmophobia.

Mechanics

The ambient temperature of a map, both indoors and outdoors, is dependent on the weather. Each weather type will have a specific ambient temperature that is set at the beginning of each contract.

There are 4 groups of weather used to determine the ambient temperature. From warmest to coldest:

• Sunrise: 16°C (60.8°F)
• Clear, Fog, Blood Moon: 13°C (55.4°F)
• Light Rain, Heavy Rain, Windy 8°C (46.4°F)
• Snow 5°C (41°F)

Player breath is faintly visible rising from the bottom of the player's screen.

Before the investigation area is entered, all rooms are at the maximum temperature in Amateur difficulty. In other difficulties, the rooms will be at their ambient temperature. The ghost will not affect the temperature of its current room until an exit door is opened.

When a player is in a room that is at or below 5°C (41°F), their breath will be visible.

Affecting temperature

After an exit door is opened, temperatures of all rooms will change dynamically. Temperatures increase at 0.025°C (0.045°F) per second, and decrease at 0.1°C (0.18°F) per second. Temperatures will decrease at 1/3 of this rate once it is below the ambient weather temperature.

If the fuse box is off, all applicable rooms will return to the ambient temperature. If it is on, these rooms will slowly increase in temperature until 20°C (68°F). Only indoor building rooms are affected by the fuse box. Outdoor areas, including tents and outdoor bathrooms in campsites, are not affected.

In addition to the fuse box being off, the room that the ghost is currently in will slowly decrease in temperature to a minimum of 1°C (33.8°F), regardless of the fuse box's state. It will slowly increase if the ghost leaves the room.

The temperature of a room can be read by a thermometer. The reading on a tier I and II thermometer will fluctuate from the actual value by a maximum of +3 degrees, in Celsius, and a maximum of +2 degrees, in Celsius, with a tier III thermometer.

When lit, Camp Woodwind's campfire instantly raises the temperature of the room it is in to 20°C (68°F), even if the ghost is in that room. The campfire itself will usually exceed 500°C (932°F). This does not apply to Maple Lodge Campsite's campfires.

Ghost abilities

The Hantu's speed during a hunt is affected by the temperature of the room it is currently in. The colder the room, the faster it can move.

Freezing Temperatures

Main article: Freezing Temperatures

If a ghost has Freezing Temperatures as one of its evidences, the ghost can further decrease the room temperature to a minimum of −10°C (14°F).
