What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We are in early access because it is still in heavy development, it just doesn't feel ready for a full release. Before we release there are a few feature we feel are required for the game to truly feel polished and release worthy. We feel now is the time to give people the game so we can use feedback to shape the game going forward. We plan to continue work on the game and we want input from players.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We don't have a date for a full release. We want to make sure we are happy with the game and not rush for a deadline. However you can expect a full release towards the end of 2024.”

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

“The full game will have more overall polish, and will have much more content to ensure that it remains interesting, including cool ways to progress. We plan to add proximity voice chat, more maps, better progression and more. However all of this is subject to change as the game evolves and changes over time.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Completely playable but might be a bit buggy.
Look at the About section to see current features.
Currently implemented features include: Multiplayer, ghost types, behaviours, hunts, 2 houses, tools, 6 evidences, levelling system.”

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

“The game will remain the same price after full release since all customers will end up with the same product.”

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

“Yes! This game is made to be fun, and the best way to do that is to listen to the people playing it. Join our discord and talk to us: https://discord.gg/VrR3a4uK”

  • When you find evidences tick them off in the journal (J).
  • Once you find all 3 evidences take the ghost trap, interact with it (E) and select the only remaining ghost from the journal (J).Then place the trap somewhere the ghost will likely go (The doorway to it's room will work well).
  • Once you hear a success sound and see the trap close you can take the trap out of the house. You win!
  • If the trap makes a breaking sound and disappears you have lost, the ghost will hunt you until you are dead.

Things To Note

The ghost will only give 3 evidences.
Each ghost has a favourite room, the ghost will spend most of it's time in it's favourite room. You can find the favourite room by checking the temperatures of all the rooms.
The room which is consistently cooler than the others is likely to be the ghost's favourite room but not certain.
The ghost can turn the light of its current room on/off from anywhere but it has to be near a door or object to interact with it.

How To Get Evidences


Spirit Box
Turn it on and wait to see if the ghost says something.
The spirit box will only give a response if: you are within a certain distance of the ghost, the spirit box is in a room with the light off, and is not outside.

Ghost Writing
Ghost writing will occur if the ghost attempts to throw the clipboard, it will instead write on the clipboard.
If the clipboard is thrown and there is no writing on it it means the ghost does not have ghost writing as an evidence.

Crucifix
If the ghost attempts to hunt and is in the range of the crucifix then the crucific will burn (glow red and make a noise) and there will be no hunt.
If the ghost does not have crucifix as an evidence then it will do nothing.

Ghost Camera
Using the camera you may be able to see the ghost while it is not visible normally. If you see the ghost and it is not hunting then you have got the evidence.
You won't always be able to see the ghost just because it has the evidence, it will only show every 10-50 seconds and only for a short time.

EMF 5
If you get level 5 (The red dot, meaning all the lights are lit up and the tone is very high) then you got the evidence.

Blood
When the ghost throws something it has a chance (it isn't 100%) to make a blood splat on the first surface it touches. If you see a blood splat then you have the evidence.
