What your AI companion actually says in Phasmophobia
Phasmophobia is an investigation game that rewards patience and evidence tracking. Sidekick's coaching is tuned around the evidence funnel — flagging signs, pruning ghost types, and warning you when the hunt clock starts before it bites.
EMF reading appears:“EMF 5 — that's a hit. Three of your candidate ghosts use it; the other six are cleared.” The companion reads the EMF meter and updates the suspect list with you.
Hunt warning:“Sanity at 48% — first hunt could start any minute. Drop the camera and head to the hide spot.” Sanity math made simple.
Cursed possession choice:“You've got the Music Box — use it on the floor with the body marker if you need to bait a hunt.” Cursed-possession strategy without paging through a wiki.
Mid-hunt:“Stay still — it can hear your footsteps. Wait fifteen seconds.” The single most survivable instruction during an active hunt.
Five things vision AI notices in Phasmophobia
- Evidence checkmarks on your journal.The companion reads which evidence you've confirmed and tracks the remaining ghost candidates.
- Sanity bar. The percentage on your tablet is the most important number in the game. Sidekick keeps it in your head.
- Equipment loadout. Crucifix on you? Smudge in your inventory? Camera placed at the right room? The companion checks before you commit to a path.
- Map and breaker state. Lights out, breaker tripped, room temperature changes — vision AI reads the environment for tells.
- Cursed possession items. Music Box, Voodoo Doll, Tarot Cards, Summoning Circle, Ouija Board, Monkey Paw, Haunted Mirror — the companion knows their effects and risks.
Where Sidekick fits in your Phasmophobia runs
Solo Phasmophobia is hard because you're your own crew. Sidekick is the second pair of eyes that solo runs miss — the teammate watching evidence on the truck while you sweep, the voice warning you when sanity dropped while you were focused on the EMF reader.
What Sidekick will not do
Sidekick won't cheat — no ghost-type auto-detection from room state, no behind-the-scenes evidence dumps. The companion works from what's on screen, same as you. For the full ghost behavior matrix and Tier 3 difficulty strategies, the Phasmophobia wiki and dedicated investigation communities remain the right resources.
