Can goryos change room all of a sudden?

[ Dovahbear ]

I was playing zero evidence on Willow, and twice I had a goryo that changed room. As far as I know, goryos aren't supposed to change favorite room, ever. Even if the setting in custom difficulty is set to the highest chance. I don't recall seeing a change related to the goryo in any of the recent updates.

The first goryo was in the hallway (the area between the two bedrooms and the basement door and bathroom, just outside the kitchen). I saw cold breath when I was near the boy's room, and after a few seconds I discovered that it was the hallway and not the boy's room. The weather was clear and the breaker was on, so cold breath should only be visible in the ghost's room. Then after a while, it moved to the kitchen. I saw cold breath in the kitchen and no longer in the hallway after many checks. I thought it was a banshee because it did like 4 singing events and followed me in the garage when I was setting up for looping.

The second goryo was in the basement, in the second storage room. I did the same check as before. I saw cold breath and the temperature on the thermometer plummet to the 0.1-5 C range when I went into the room. I walked out into the main basement and waited, saw no breath, and the thermometer went back to the 10-20 C range. After a while, the temperature in the storage room went back up to about 15, and the main basement went to the 0.1-5 C range. The weather was fog and the breaker was on so again there shouldn't be cold breath outside of the ghost's room. I was up to the game's antics at this point so I guessed goryo anyways and I was correct.

You may be conflating 'Changing rooms' with 'Roaming'. Two separate functions.

Any ghost can roam- They can wander from their room on a short, medium, or long path. For Goryo specifically, they're limited to short roams only.

Their favorite room is the room to which they return after a roaming session; If a ghost changes this, it changes their central anchor point essentially.

Additionally, Temperatures don't go down in the ghost room specifically; Rather, they go down in whatever room the invisible entity currently is- This invisible entity actually roams the location as mentioned.

Lastly, Temperatures go up house wide whenever the breaker is on, but at a pace slower than the ghost is dropping it.

So because a goryo can roam, and can ONLY short roam, it's pretty common for whatever room is adjacent to their favorite room to also be very cold; And if they roam often enough, their home room can warm up from the breaker being on while the ghost is off in whatever room it's currently wandering.


Edit: To be clear, though, No, Goryo's can't change favorite rooms. However, If you're playing with the cursed obects, the Monkey's Paw 'I wish for Sanity' wish iirc forces a room change as it's negative effect, even for the Goryo.

Extremely unlikely to get these kind of situations, but not impossible, since even the Goryo can roam (just not changing rooms afterwards), so there's definitely a chance that it might simply run out of it constantly, specially on smaller room.

Though if it happens more consistently, then it might be worth reporting it as a bug, since in the past there were also bugs with this ghost, which made it possible to change rooms and every now and then, they accidentally reintroduce bugs, which were already fixed a long time ago (like the crucifix turning off lights when being used)

Stop wishing for sanity with the Monkey Paw.

IT'S NOT EVEN A GOOD WISH.

Indeed, if you use a cursed possession, the game will become harder regardless of the ghost.
