Here’s how sanity levels work in Phasmophobia and what happens if you hit zero

Phasmophobia is the perfect game for anyone seeking the thrill of ghost hunting. If that is not scary enough, you can immerse yourself further with a VR headset. Your primary objective is to utilize various pieces of equipment to gather evidence. Then, you can work out which spooky spirit you are dealing with. Similar to other games in its genre, Phasmophobia has a sanity level. The sanity level gives you an idea of how scared you, and your team are as a whole.

When you first embark on your paranormal investigation, you will be completely sane and show no signs of fear. However, this will decrease throughout your time at the haunted location. It is important to keep your group’s sanity at a stable level. If your group’s average drops too low, ghosts will enter the hunting phase. You can check sanity levels at the trailer which spawns outside of the building. Sanity is lost quickly if you are in dark areas, alone from the group, and near a ghost. To regain your sanity level in Phasmophobia, all you have to do is take some pills. Also, if you are in a dark area, you may want to find some light and regroup with your team.

Making use of low sanity

If you find yourself reaching zero sanity, you will not die. Instead, you will be at a very high risk of ghost haunting. Although you want to keep your sanity levels as high as possible, you can use the lack of sanity to your advantage. You will be able to attract a ghost in order to provoke it to give more evidence. It is a risky strategy, however, if you can pull it off, you can reap the rewards.

When playing Phasmophobia, make sure you are aware of your sanity level to protect yourself from the ghost. Also, you can protect your sanity by using a crucifix. Placing them on the ground will prevent the spirit from entering the hunting phase.
