Most phase mods reskin a fixed roster. Phase 1.5 expands it. MezZ added 29 characters that were not present in Phase 1, which means the slot math changes: you have more tonal options per layer type and more edge cases where two rarely-paired icons produce something unexpected. Bass characters tend to stay closer to the Phase 1 register, while several of the new voice and effect characters already carry the Phase 2 warping. Mixing both generations on one board is where the sound gets interesting.
The visual side is just as layered. Gray idle figures activate into designs ranging from slightly unsettled faces to full stitched-and-bleeding treatments. The orange sky backdrop amplifies the dusk atmosphere without drowning the stage in pure black. If you are coming from a heavier Treatment mod, Phase 1.5 will feel lighter; if you came straight from Phase 1, the horror detail here will read as a genuine step up.
