- V 1.1.3 Small Update - 3 September 2026
Just a small bug fix. There was a way to break the tutorial that I wanted to fix.
- Tutorial Update - 27 July 2026
Hello Investigators,Yes, another day, another tutorial update!This small v1.1.2 update brings a new tutorial to the game... and this time it's Guided! I've swapped out the old Knowledge Room with a new one that gives guided text that automatically progresses as you perform actions from the tutorial. Hopefully this will be a little more clear than the self-paced, but more confusing swath of markers on the ground.Happy Ghost Hunting!
- Update v1.1.1 - 12 June 2026
Happy Friday Investigators,Today is a small update that brings some changes I think you've been looking for.This patch does two things:It adds new tool slots. Now at levels 7 and 13, you will unlock new tool slots. This means you'll be able to bring up to 2 more tools with you on investigations. These extra tools are delivered outside the house for you to pick up when you need them. In other words, you can't hold more, but you still get more tools.It lowers the XP requirements to level up by a small amount. This should make it a little faster to progress through earlier levels and hopefully leave a little more XP for unlocking maps.Happy Ghost Hunting!
- Update v1.1.0 - The Map Update - 6 June 2026
Hello Investigators, Happy Friday!Today brings a bigger update for Spiritus Vindicta and the first major update since the v1.0.0 release!I'm calling this the "Map Update" as this version introduces a new "Map Interactable" for every type of location in the game. As you investigate, stay vigilant for a button, or rarely multiple buttons, on the map that trigger special effects or reward you with items. These additions should help give you an edge during investigations and bring some needed uniqueness to the locations.There are 20 location types in the game, so keep an eye out for all the new interactables and discover what they do!Here's a sneak peak at what you can expect with some of the earlier location types:Basic Houses: Temporarily Reveal Hiding SpotsOffices: Security System - Track the ghost location for a short timeHaunted Houses: Force ghost to try and return to his favorite room

- Sigil Ghosts Have Arrived - 6 February 2025
Hello Investigators! With the latest update sigil ghosts have arrived, as well as a few bug fixes and quality of life changes. Sigil Ghosts These ghosts will start appearing in the sightings computer after reaching level 11. Different from the normal ghosts you are used to, exorcising a sigil ghost requires a special sigil that's tied to a single ritual. To find that sigil, you must open the Tarot Chest and grab it from there. Then you can perform the one ritual that will exorcise the ghost. Other Fixes/Updates Added a sound effect when the Tarot Chest unlocks when placing the last tarot card down in the correct spot Modified the spirit mirror visual when the ghost is inside the favorite room to help make it more clear when the lights are on. Modified the container dot visual to try and make it more visible (still being tweaked but should help some for now.) Fixed some missed spelling m…
- Road Trips - 19 December 2024
Alright Investigators, Road Trips are ready to go! The first version of road trips is now available at the Sightings computer. You can start your trip once you reach level 20 and exorcise the story ghost. Additional updates are planned for this mode in the way of different investigation types rather than just your normal exorcism. So keep your ears open. Thanks!
- Ready for a Road Trip? - 11 November 2024
Ready for a Road Trip? The first post-story content update is being worked on and I'm ready to start sharing what it's all about. This update will be a new mode unlocked once you finish the main story (level 20). You'll be able to find this mode in the Sightings computer. What is it? The Road Trip mode will be a new way to challenge yourself through a series of increasingly harder investigations that must all be completed before you can get the money and XP you've earned. You'll need to be careful since you can't leave these investigations early, and dying will end the whole Road Trip without any rewards. You invest in the road trip with an initial amount of money, and this is the only money you get to rent tools and items. You'll need to earn the rest of your money during the trip. From there will you tackle an investigation each night of the trip until you reach the end. You'll have t…
