A small tool born out of necessity. While playing Phasmophobia with some friends, there was one task that became quite tedious: determining the type of ghost we were facing by using the evidence we were finding.
For those who may not be familiar with the game, the main objective is to figure out which type of ghost inhabits each mission by searching for clues. Each ghost leaves behind 3 unique pieces of evidence, and the combinations are distinct for each type of ghost.
In the game, there isn’t a quick view of all the data; you have to cycle through the different types of ghosts to see the corresponding evidence for each one.
With this application, all the types of ghosts and their evidence are displayed in a table, providing all the information you need without having to check each one individually.
At the top, we can mark the evidence we’ve found. The types of ghosts that do not match the selected evidence will automatically disappear, leaving only the correct ghost type.
Based on the combinations, I added a list of percentages that show the likelihood of the remaining ghost types. This allows players to focus on those with the highest probability or those with the lowest probability in order to eliminate as many types as possible.
The game now already has its system for quickly analyzing the data, but it was fun to implement this tool, and we actually ended up using it quite a lot.
