Although Halloween has passed, players are still jumping back intoPhasmophobiain big numbers to hunt down ghosts and uncover new frights. After the sharp rise in popularity of the game, developer Kinetic Games began working on new maps for players and recentlyteased a new prison level in the works forPhasmophobia. Today, Kinetic Games showed off the first screenshots of the new location to drive up the hype.
It’s only been a week since Kinetic Games first teased a prison level forPhasmophobia, but the developer has begun to show off the new level on the team’s official Twitter account. The released screenshots are relatively dark, which falls in line with the actual game and resemble a stereotypical prison set up. In the three screenshots, Kinetic Games shows off a cafeteria area, a prison courtyard and watchtower, and lastly, a visitors area where inmates would be behind a glass window from those coming to see them.
