Rehaunted Patch Comparison

Dates and times are UTC. These Rehaunted patch notes list the changes in our words and link to each original post on Steam; the version stamp is the developer's own numbering. The latest patch is at the top, and the launch and pre-launch posts come last.

1. UPDATE 06

   2026-09-17 20:24 UTC

   Latest

   Equipment shortcuts & More Fixes

   • Direct shortcuts for your detective tools, so switching tools is faster. You can rebind them in the Controls menu.
   • Fixed several objects appearing in the player's hands at once while using the tools.
   • Reworked one story event so it is clearer what to do, and fixed a character sometimes staying on the map after she should have disappeared.
   • Removed repetitive random voice lines that hurt the atmosphere.
   • Fixed the Quick Access Wheel sometimes staying stuck on screen.
   • The game no longer jumps to the Main Menu after the final in-game message. You go back with a button when you are done reading.

   Next, according to the post: more accessibility features and missing translations.

2. UPDATE 05

   2026-09-16 19:25 UTC

   Quality of Life & Haunting Tutorial

   • Small additional optimization improvements.
   • Improved several events where the next objective could still be unclear.
   • The game now pauses during the first Haunting tutorial, so you can read the instructions without pressure.

   It also announced tool shortcuts on keys such as 1 to 4, and FOV options. Tool shortcuts arrived in UPDATE 06; FOV options are not mentioned in a later post yet.

3. UPDATE 04

   2026-09-15 22:34 UTC

   Progression Blocker Fixes

   • Fixed a few other, less common progression blockers in different parts of the game.

4. UPDATE 03

   2026-09-15 18:05 UTC

   Major Improvements & Overhaul

   • Fixed the UV light not working correctly in the tutorial.

   • Door interactions are more responsive.
   • Dialogue choices give you more time to answer.
   • Adjusted the pacing and flow of haunting sequences so they feel less tiring or frustrating.
   • Several scripted events now guide your attention to important moments you could easily miss.
   • The crib sequence is clearer, and a clipping problem in it is fixed.
   • The tutorial was reworked to progress more logically.

5. UPDATE 02

   2026-09-14 21:51 UTC

   Radio & Dialogue Fixes

   • Radio dialogue rebuilt. The old Shift-based system is gone: options appear on their own and you confirm with the Interaction button.
   • That removes the clashes between radio talk, movement and interacting.
   • Haunting encounters are slightly shorter and more intuitive.

6. UPDATE 01

   2026-09-14 19:40 UTC

   First Fixes & Improvements

   • Hauntings should no longer spawn enemies in small or enclosed rooms where you have no space to escape.
   • After you photograph the entity and blind it, you can run straight through it instead of getting stuck on it.
   • The Haunting tutorial stays on screen longer.

   Official N001Read the original post

The first Rehaunted update, UPDATE 01, went up 3 hours 44 minutes after the launch post, and UPDATE 02 about two hours after that. From UPDATE 01 to UPDATE 06 took about 73 hours. Then the posts stopped: our re-check of the official Steam news feed on 2026-09-23 at 14:29 UTC found the same eight posts, word for word, with UPDATE 06 as the latest patch.

A guide or video made on launch day is therefore up to six Rehaunted updates behind the latest patch. Two updates were posted on launch day itself, so a video from Sep 14 may show the game before or after them. The posts are signed Loris / Cauchemar.

Read across the Rehaunted patch notes and most changes fall into four areas. Each part below says which updates touched it; the entries above have the details.

Hauntings, in four updates

UPDATE 01, 02, 03 and 05 all changed hauntings: no more enemy spawns in small, enclosed rooms, a way through the entity once a photo blinds it, shorter encounters, new pacing, and a first Haunting tutorial that now pauses the game. On 2026-09-20, 46.2% of players on Steam had the Haunting achievement for surviving their first one.

Tools, radio and controls

The radio lost its Shift-based system in UPDATE 02; you now confirm answers with the Interaction button. Tool shortcuts were announced in UPDATE 05, for keys such as 1 to 4, and arrived in UPDATE 06, rebindable in the Controls menu.

Flashlight and UV light fixes

All in UPDATE 03: the UV light works in the tutorial again, and the flashlight is snappier and no longer turns invisible after a flicker.

Progression blockers and guidance

The only blocker the posts name is the laundry room one fixed in UPDATE 04, which also fixed a few less common blockers without naming them. UPDATE 03, 05 and 06 add guidance instead: scripted events that point at moments you could miss, clearer objectives and one reworked story event. Blockers players still report after those patches are on the known issues page.

Promised for a coming Rehaunted update, in UPDATE 06: more accessibility features and missing translations, which the post says need a little more time and testing. UPDATE 05 said FOV options were being worked on; UPDATE 06 does not mention them.

Asked for by players: an FOV setting, which UPDATE 05 says is being worked on; a quieter tension sound effect that one player says drowns out conversations; invert mouse that also works when you zoom in on the laptop and the clue board; and, before release, Arabic text. We found no official answer on the last three. The crash when the entity catches you is not mentioned in any post; the reports are on the known issues page.

Compare the upload date with the post times in these Rehaunted patch notes. ZergSword's full no-commentary playthrough (1:22:53) went up on 2026-09-15 at 02:00 UTC, and HGH Horror Games House's full walkthrough (1:05:57) at 17:40 UTC the same day, 25 minutes before UPDATE 03. Both show the game before the crib, tutorial and haunting pacing changes in UPDATE 03.

GamerSault's 12:54 story explainer came out on 2026-09-19, after UPDATE 06. Its title says it explains the story and the ending, so expect spoilers; we have not watched it.
