What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“This is my first paid game, and only the third project I've made.

The game is still fairly early, but I feel it's at a good enough spot to offer.
And still early enough where I can use feedback to improve or rework parts of the game if needed.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Hoping for 24 - 48 Months, Potentially Longer due to More features, Maps, Etc.

You can also expect a Major Update, I.E. New Map(s) every 3 - 5 months,
depending on the size of the update and its complexity.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The V1.0 content plans are: 15 Maps, 15+ items, 20+ Upgrades (In total)

And potentially Side Content like Arcade Games.
however, the Ghost Hunting part of the game is my main priority.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Early Access will launch with: 11 Items, 16 Upgrades,
20 Ghost Types, 6 maps, 2 Difficulties + Difficulty Modifiers.
and a Leveling & Upgrades System.

And most of the planned Ghost Traits, and abilities are implemented.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“I plan on increasing the price when the game goes into V1.0”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“I will heavily consider Suggestions and Feedback from the community.
I also have a Discord Server for the game with feedback and suggestion Channels,
There I plan on making Polls for the next map, and asking for community input on new or updated features.”

STARTING EQUIPMENT:

  • EMF Reader - See the ghost throw an item, turn on a TV, or move some furniture?
    Chances are, it left some evidence there.

  • Thermometer - When a ghost is Haunting a room, the temperature may Raise, Lower,
    or in some cases even stay the same. May be useful for identifying where the ghost is.

  • Camera - Useful for finding Side Evidence like Wall Writing.
    May be useful for identifying many of the ghost's Traits as well...!

  • Parabolic Microphone - Allows you to hear many of the ghost's interactions,
    as well as their Main Evidence, Like Screams or Whispers.

  • Spirit Box - Useful for completing the Side Investigation,
    as well as identifying the room of a Inactive Ghost.

  • UV Light - Used to spot Fingerprints, Footprints, or Claw Marks from the ghost.

  • Flashlight - Lights up dark areas.

You can purchase, or find New Equipment to replace the one's above,
For example:
Instead of the UV Light, you can buy a UV Tripod, that auto-rotates to cover the room you're in.
or instead of the Flashlight, you can buy the UV Multi-tool, and toggle between Flashlight & UV Modes.

LOCATIONS:

The locations in this game are inspired by Real, and Unusual places.
From more Typical locations like a House or a School,
to more unique ones like a Pirate Ship, or a Cave.

OTHER THINGS TO KNOW:

I'm a solo developer, and this is the first PC game I ever worked on.
Development started nearly 3 years ago!

This game is, and always will be: Single Player Only!

this is a slower-paced, Investigation game, and not really suited, or balanced for multiplayer.
This game also uses some Lightly satirical content, like location names, and location backstories.
