Phasmophobia has just dropped its latest map rework, and this time the smallest house in the game gets a full makeover. 13 Willow Street has been rebuilt from the inside out, with new room themes, a brand-new ghost type, relocated cursed possessions, and a wave of quality-of-life fixes that address lingering issues from the earlier player character update. If you've been running this location on autopilot, you'll need to relearn it entirely.
What changed with the 13 Willow Street rework?
The base floor plan stays intact, but almost everything inside has been replaced. The home now has a strong cat-lover theme, with cat trees mounted along the walls and cat toys scattered across the floors. The second bedroom is gone, replaced by an art studio. The garage has been converted into a gym. The basement gets the biggest upgrade: what was previously basic storage space is now a proper den featuring a bar, a game room, and a bathroom.
The in-truck map has also been updated. The old version used plain grey boxes to represent each room. The new version is fully colored and includes room-specific detail, making it far more readable during an active investigation.

Where are the new cursed possession locations?
All seven cursed possessions have been moved to new spots. None of them spawn in the same location as before the rework, so your old mental map is useless here. You'll need to scout each room fresh, including the redesigned basement areas, the art studio, and the gym.
For players who rely on cursed possessions as part of their evidence strategy, this is the single biggest practical change the rework introduces. Treat it like visiting a new map for the first time.

What is the new Deildegast ghost?
The Deildegast is the newest ghost type added alongside this update, and it plays differently from anything currently in the roster. Its three pieces of official evidence are Ghost Writing, EMF Level Five, and DOTS Projector.
Beyond evidence, the Deildegast has a few behaviors worth knowing before you encounter it. It moves faster than most ghosts, particularly at the start of a contract, so early aggression is a real threat. You can slow it down by displacing items around the location, which gives you a meaningful counter-strategy if things start escalating.
For context on how the Deildegast fits into the broader ghost roster, the Phasmophobia ghost tier list breaks down all 27 types by danger level and difficulty.
How do you complete the Artist's Retreat challenge?
Every map rework comes with a dedicated challenge, and 13 Willow Street is no different. The Artist's Retreat challenge requires you to complete 50 contracts at this location. Finishing it rewards a unique Sun Seeker ID Card and Badge.
That's a significant time investment, but the reward is cosmetic and exclusive to this challenge, so it won't be available through any other means.
What quality-of-life improvements are included?
This update brings a meaningful set of fixes and improvements, most of them addressing friction points introduced by the earlier player character update. Here's the full breakdown:
The Photo Camera update is particularly useful. Having evidence highlighted in the frame the same way Video Cameras work removes a lot of guesswork when trying to capture clean shots. Pair this with the new media evidence prioritization system and you'll be maximizing your payout more consistently. For a deeper look at how to get the most out of every capture, the Phasmophobia media guide covers photo, video, and sound rewards in full.
The equipment keybinds on PC are a long-overdue addition. Cycling through items manually was one of the bigger pain points after the player character update, and binding gear to number keys brings the controls much closer to what players expected from the start.

How does the 13 Willow Street rework compare to previous map updates?
Kinetic Games has been steadily rebuilding older maps with more detail, clearer layouts, and better replayability. The 13 Willow Street rework follows the same pattern as the Tanglewood Drive overhaul, where the core layout survived but everything else was rebuilt around it.
What sets this one apart is the basement transformation. Previous reworks tended to redistribute space without dramatically changing how a floor functioned. Turning the basement into a multi-room den with a bar, game room, and bathroom creates genuinely new investigation scenarios on a map that many players had completely figured out.
