Phasmophobia: what’s changed in Bleasdale Farmhouse?
Phasmophobia has gone through many changes since it was released back in 2020. While the core gameplay elements are still there, Kinetic Games has stayed true to what made its ghost-hunting title such a hit in the indie horror scene. As of right now, update 0.12.0.1 has started to roll out, which not only brings a few tweaks to the game but also introduces the first of two major reworks for some of Phasmo's legacy maps. In this case, we get a brand-new version of Bleasdale Farmhouse, the rickety abode that has us investigating spirits in the spooky countryside. So, being a long-time fan of the game, I've been excited to check out the new update. With that, I thought I'd do an overview of what's changed in Bleasdale. You can check out the patch notes, but for your delectation, here's a quick guide to the revamped map. Something old, something new Screenshot via Destructoid Phasmophobia's Bleasdale Farmhouse location is well known for its old wooden aesthetic. However, before you even enter the map, you'll immediately notice the difference. For starters, the outside has been given something of a modern facelift. It's still all for the wood theme, but with some new panels and a lick of white paint, that rickety look has been given the old heave-ho. This is, without question, a veritable overhaul of the entire location, not just a few simple changes. This continues once we go inside and are greeted by the entryway. Again, there'll be something familiar about it, but it's changed just enough to give you pause for thought. The general layout is still intact, with the large living space in the room beyond and the L-shaped stairs to the right, but the under-the-stairs nook is now a cupboard door and the office to the left is now a sitting room that loops around to the other parts of the house, including a storage area. Screenshot via Destructoid Are you getting manor vibes from this? Because I certainly am. We've definitely shifted away from the more rustic vision of Bleasdale Farmhouse, with something that suggests the family that lives here has come into a considerable sum of money recently. The piano in the living room is still there, though it's been moved to the other side, while also being upgraded to something more grand, rather than the more "plinky-plonky" tavern-style piano of the old farmhouse. The downstairs overall feels like it's been revamped in a way that suggests freshness, but still hints at the map that was here before. For example: the kitchen and dining area are in the same place, except they're now separate rooms (albeit still side-by-side). It feels like it's been closed off, perhaps suggesting an air of privacy for whoever's cooking the meals. Screenshot via Destructoid The upstairs has also seen some major reworks. The first thing I noticed was the bathroom at the top of the stairs, or lack thereof. While it's not actually gone, it's now accessible via the master bedroom a bit further down the hall. This room, too, has changed significantly. While maintaining its size, it's been divided into two sections. One side houses an impressive four-poster bed, while the other has a modest screen and a tailor's mannequinn dummy, because that inspires confidence in any ghost hunter who's slightly on edge. The bathroom is off to the right, next to a massive walk-in closet. Nothing says affluence like racks of suits in a room the size of a double garage. Then there's the trophy room. Yes, a trophy room. Taking the place of the utility area, there's now a space for the occupants of Bleasdale Farmhouse to display trinkets befitting a neocolonial warlord. Screenshot via Destructoid But hark! Where are the stairs to the attic? In the old house, they were at the end of the corridor, just before one of the bedrooms (which is now a fancy office). Despair not, however. They are still there, but they've been moved further along, behind its own door. The stairs themselves now look like less of a trip hazard and take us up into the brand-new attic space. If you remember the attic from before, you'll know that it was quite an intimidating area. Its sheer size always induced an acceptable degree of dread as players would collectively hope that the ghost wasn't in this room. Now, while it still counts for a large chunk of the upstairs region, Kinetic Games has added a lot more clutter to soak up some of that size. It's still a big room, but it feels less so now that it's occupied by more stuff. Additionally, there's a spare bed in a side room, which has been separated by a beaded curtain. Screenshot via Destructoid Those are some of the major changes to Bleasdale Farmhouse. Honestly, there's a lot more that can be said about what the developer has reworked, but it definitely feels like something that would benefit from a walkthrough yourself. At any rate, it's an impressive revamp of one of the game's legacy maps. Thanks to the recent Phasmophobia roadmap, we do know that

Until then, I'll be looking at this weird occult table and trying to work out what it does...
