The Reflection

Sanity Update, New Events & More

Pinwheels Studio

Hello everyone,

Beta v0.9.11T is now live.

We've been working on the next stage of The Reflection, and this update brings quite a few changes to the sanity system, ghost events, hiding mechanics and the ritual system.

Here's what's new:

1. Sanity System Update

  • Players can now visually see their sanity draining through the hue of the sanity feedback.
  • The lower your sanity gets, the more noticeable the visual change becomes.

2. Static Ghost Event Changes

  • Fixed several issues with the Static Ghost Event.
  • The ghost will no longer start a hunt during the event.

3. Upcoming Rituals

  • The Ritual Book now includes upcoming rituals that are currently in development.
  • Players can now get a look at some of the rituals we're working on for future updates.

4. New Hiding Spot — Confession Closet

  • Added a new type of hiding spot called the Confession Closet.
  • A new ghost event related to it has also been added: Confession Event

We're not going to explain much about this one yet. We'd rather let you experience it yourselves.

5. Main Menu

  • Fixed several basic issues with the main menu.
  • General improvements and cleanup.

6. Closet Interaction

  • Closing a closet now requires you to interact directly with the closet door.
  • Previously, interacting with other parts of the closet could also trigger the interaction.

7. Bug Fixes & Improvements

  • Several smaller bugs and interaction issues have been fixed.
  • Additional improvements have been made across existing systems.
