About This Demo

You work for the Devil now. Your job: break into haunted houses, drive the ghost out of its mind, and beat it the only way a ghost can be beaten. With music.

Ghosts Only Take Damage From Music

Bullets go straight through them. Grab an electric guitar, a bass, drums or a piano and play. In Musical mode you hit the notes on the beat; in Shooter mode your instrument fires them. The Ringmaster fights to his own song, every attack lands on the beat, and the whole band has to play together to bring him down. Your guns still matter: shoot down his puppets to stun him.

Break Everything

Vases, bottles, totems, gift boxes. Every item you smash makes the ghost angrier. Fill its rage and it can't hide anymore: the boss room shows up on your map.

Something Is Running At You

The clown charges with a bat, the spider pounces, the long-armed thing bites heads off, the mosquito drinks your blood and lays larvae, and the pyramid fires lasers. Every day the building gets bigger and the creatures get tougher.

Friendly Fire Is On

Every weapon hits your friends too. Proximity voice chat means everyone nearby hears you scream "sorry".

Rip Packs, Stack Perks

Spend the Devil's money at the shop: guns, armor, bags, potions and things to throw. Level up, rip open card packs and pick your perks.

Dying Is Not a Day Off

Die and you come back as a ghost. Fly around, follow your friends, watch them panic. The living can barely see you and only the dead can hear you. Get the book to the Devil and the whole team comes back.

Losers Become Furniture

Fail the job and the Devil throws you into his arena to fight for your souls. The first ones to fall turn into cursed items, and the rest have to carry them around.

Cash Out or Keep Going?

After every job the team votes: take the money, or push your luck on a harder day for a bigger payout. The Devil rates your work out of five stars, and weekly Steam leaderboards show who the best band in Hell is.
