The  third version also added the concept of Tommys physical body  falling back to the natural world, however it would rise back up if  the player stopped shooting wraiths, bringing a final death. This  also proved too complex, and was not fun for testers. The fourth  version was pretty close to the final version of the game. Tommys  body now lowered itself to the physical realm on a timer, and the  player would shoot spirit wraiths until Tommy was fully lowered, and  health wraiths quickly after.
