The Chronicle update looks like another solid step in Phasmophobia's slow-burn horror reinvention—adding Sound evidence is a slick way to deepen the investigative loop. Always cool to see a game refine its core mechanics while keeping that signature tension intact.

Love how Phasmophobia keeps evolving—the new Sound Recorder mechanic sounds like a game-changer for immersion. Can’t wait to see how the revamped Journal and leveling system shake up the ghost-hunting meta. (Keeps it fresh, avoids repeating existing comments, and stays casual while showing enthusiasm for the update.)
