Phasmophobia developer Kinetic Games announced a new upgrade for the beta version of the game on Monday, which now allows the game’s cast of ghosts to hear the voices of players when they hunt, prompting them to search for the locations where the noise originates.

Kinetic Games also shared that the new feature is based on how loud a player’s microphone is, meaning you can still whisper while a ghost is searching for your terrified meaty body.
