Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We are a small team and want to allow fans to see and experience the development of the game as we make our way to a complete product.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The game will be in Early Access for up to 1 year. We may be able to accelerate development if we can hire artists and engineers, but even if the team remains just Kim, Ryan, Matt, and John, we will be able to complete the game in time for Halloween 2026.”

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

“The full version will include more levels to explore, more tools to use to hunt the ghosties, and more complete quest lines to learn about the spooks and specters that live in these locations.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Alpha approaching Beta. Ever feature in the game is represented, but there are lots of placeholders and features that need some polish.”

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

“The game will increase in price as we include more content. We intend on pricing Ghost Hunter Simulator at a fair price for the amount of content and expected play time provided by the game. The game will be priced low during Early Access and will increase to match the amount of content present at Full Release.”

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

“We interact closely with our Patreon community and have a free tier so that anyone can join. Along with Patreon membership comes access to our community Discord server for direct interaction with the team.”

About This Game

*** Ghost Hunter Simulator is under active development. All screen shots and video are taken from pre-Alpha builds (in other words, we don't even have all the gameplay in place, let alone finalized) and may not reflect final gameplay. ***

Are Ghosts Real?

Have you ever wanted to explore spooky locations and hunt for ghosts?

In Ghost Hunter Simulator, the player takes on the role of an aspiring ghost hunter or skeptic with the goal of building their social media empire - as the ghost hunters who finally found proof or the skeptic who exposes all those charlatans.

Ghost Hunter Simulator is not a horror game, but rather Cozy Spooky. Think Haunted Mansion, not Haunting of Hill House. Using an extensive tag system, players can tailor the content of Ghost Hunter Simulator to their preferred flavor and intensity of spooky.

Players will spend much of their time exploring allegedly haunted locations and gathering evidence of the paranormal, as well as learning the lore and history of the location. Ghost Hunter Simulator uses a first-person view and focuses on using real world ghost hunting tools to collect evidence - either that full-body apparition photo that proves to the world, once and for all, that ghosts or real, or a video clip debunking the local ghost story by showing that the curtains only move because there's an air vent across the room that kicks on.

Believer or Skeptic, once you've gathered your evidence, the next step is to tell everyone. Via a puzzle like game, the player will sort and tag their evidence (e.g. "spooky", or "funny", or "EVP", or even "Prank") to post on various in game social sites - like BooTube or Deaddit. Follow the trends and your audience to earn fame and fortune - which coincidentally allows you to ghost hunt at more famous locations, with cooler equipment.

The locations visited in Ghost Hunter Simulator range from real world locations you COULD go visit in real life to fictional ones, including a few locations that no longer exist. Explore in safety, from the comfort of your own home, and find the evidence (or lack thereof) of ghosts!

Ghost Hunter Simulator is currently in development by Ryan and Kim Steiner, two former AAA developers, along with support from Matt Fossen and Ross Sigworth. Ghost Hunter Simulator will be updated at regular intervals - not only for bug fixing, balancing, expanding systems, and such, but also adding in new levels and places to explore.

Features:

  • Ghost Hunter Simulator is a simulation game that puts you in the role of a modern-day ghost hunter. 

  • First-person perspective exploration of allegedly haunted locations - both historical and fictional.

  • Use real-world ghost hunting equipment to gather evidence of hauntings - or to debunk them!

  • Geometric puzzle gameplay allows the player to combine the evidence they have gathered into social media submissions.

  • Organize and manage your social media empire by gaining fame, earning money, and growing your operation until YOU are the ultimate authority on all things spooky! 

  • Ghost Hunter Simulator is NOT a horror game. There are no jump scares and no imminent danger. A Tag system allows players to tailor their experience to the content they wish to experience (opt-out of topics that might make you uncomfortable and then they just don't exist in the game you play!)

***Absoultely no GenAI used in the development of Ghost Hunter Simulator***
