Our work on the Haunted House Renovator demo, which will debut in June during Steam Next Fest, is going at wild speeds, but we wanted to show you one of the important equipment pieces we have just implemented in-game. It will be essential for many puzzles and haunting eradications you will have to perform, so it's a great thing to sneak peek!
UV upgrade for the flashlight
A good torch is a must-have tool for any renovator of supernaturally-infested houses. There may be no lights functioning in some rooms, or even in the whole building. Sometimes you will also need to have a look into a big hole in the wall or a similarly narrow, unlit space. But - what's most important in this line of work - lots of ghosts like the dark and will be more than eager to shut off the lights on you. Mere electrician chops will not be enough for those paranormal blackouts.
There is more to the light-based modus operandi of a ghost house renovator. Not everything is visible in normal wavelengths. Secret glyphs, writings on the walls, and other types of hidden clues may be hiding just next to you. That's why in Haunted House Renovator you can use an additional upgrade to the flashlights which works when lights are down. Enter UV torch.
With UV light, no hidden message will hide from you for long. But that's not all. Remember those ghosts that like to mess with the light switches? They like to lurk invisible in the dark as well. Use the UV light and you may reveal a pesky spirit, probably very angry that you foiled its plans. Hey, it's what you doing, no need for those hauntings to be grumpy about it!
Please remember that those assets may be subject to change, as we are still tinkering with our tools to make their use the most intuitive for you.
