The game offers a unique ghost hunting experience focused on banishing spirits through cleansing cursed items, providing satisfying and challenging gameplay.
The atmosphere, sound design, and graphics are well-crafted, creating an intense, creepy, and immersive horror environment with effective jump scares.
Co-op multiplayer enhances the fun and pacing, with smooth mechanics and replayability due to randomized elements and unpredictable ghost behavior.

The game is still in early access with limited content, including only one base map and some paid DLC, which may disappoint players expecting a complete experience.
Controls and quality-of-life features lack customization options like key rebinding, inverted Y-axis support, and smoother interaction mechanics (e.g., door opening).
The tutorial and in-game documentation can be vague or insufficient, making it difficult for new players to understand objectives and mechanics without trial and error.

The gameplay is generally praised for its smooth mechanics, unique ghost-hunting elements, and enjoyable horror atmosphere, especially considering the game is in early access. However, some players find certain mechanics, like interacting with the obsession, overly complicated or feel the base game is barebones with limited maps, which affects their overall experience.
- “The mechanics all make sense and aren't too many items; they all have more functionality than just on/off.”
- “Considering it is in early access, the graphics and gameplay are all amazing!”
- “The fact you are searching for cursed items rather than the type of ghost really gives unique gameplay.”
- “Not liking that the new map is a paid DLC when the base game only has one map and very barebones gameplay.”
- “Don't get me wrong, but the mechanics of interacting with the obsession are so intricate and complicated that I, as a player, cannot get any pleasure or fun from the gameplay.”
- “But the gameplay itself and the mechanics in the game just don't work.”
