Phasmophobia Ghost Concept: Yuki-onna

[BlazingMammoth]

Journal Entry: “The Yuki-onna goes by many names. This particular ghost is known to bring cold temperatures wherever it roams.”

Strengths: Yuki-onna is better at detecting players in colder rooms, being able to see through hiding spots in extreme cold.

Weaknesses: It is harder for Yuki-onna to locate players hiding in warm rooms.

Other behaviors:
-It is more likely to snow in an area haunted by a Yuki-onna.

Evidence:
-Freezing Temperatures
-Ghost Writing
-D.O.T.S. Projector

Origin:
The Yuki-onna is a yokai in Japanese folklore that is often depicted as a beautiful woman. In many of its interpretations, it approaches its victim with a child and asks them to embrace or care for it. Sometimes the Yuki-onna is the child’s mother, and other times it is not directly stated. It typically appears in snowy areas.

Sounds just like an unfun noob-filter to me due to how inconsistent it will be for people, who doesn't really look up every behavior on wikis. The Deogen works quite good, because it is very obvious what it does, but with this, beginners might get the impression, that they had done something wrong themselves, since it sometimes work to hide and then it suddenly doesn't work without any warning (especially since you can't check the temperatures within a hunt anyway)

What does that mean? There's not really a mechanic for something like that yet other than just seeing the player, so you might need to go into more detail with that.

And also keep in mind, that it also needs to be deducable in 0-Evidence and it seems like this would be a very hard ghost for that as of now.

Yeah definitely one of my weaker concepts, it was hard for me to come up with another cold-related ghost since Hantu already exists, also for the weakness, since it’s either seeing the player or not seeing the player, I’d think there would be a certain temperature range (Something like 15 C or more) where the Yuki-onna would be unable to see the player, I do plan on conceptualizing some other ghosts so maybe those will be better, thx for the feedback

Its strength is too powerful, specially in big maps and higher difficulty levels like Insanity. Maybe make it appear more often near players in colder rooms? That would fool them by thinking it's a banshee or phantom. The ghost will follow the players as long as they're in cold rooms and might have a small chance to find them in a hiding spot. And it will definitely switch the breaker off as often as the mare and hantu.

Hmm that weakness should be different. How about making the players undetectable if they're near a fire source? Like holding a lit candle, and the ghost should detect them if it gets as close as 2 meters to the player. Basically the fire source would work as an inverted crucifix, "camouflaging" the player until the ghost enters the radius and sees them.
