  • Faithful and well-done spiritual successor to Ghost Master with a darker, more sinister tone and charming art style.
  • Unique and creative tactical gameplay with a variety of ghosts, each having distinct abilities, allowing for multiple playstyles.
  • Good performance and polished visuals for an Early Access title, with satisfying mechanics like scaring and killing mortals.
  • Currently lacking in content, with too few missions and ghosts, making the game feel short and repetitive.
  • AI issues including human NPCs getting stuck or not reacting properly, and ghost hunter behavior needing improvement.
  • User interface and quality-of-life features such as save options, adjustable text size, and less annoying repetitive voice lines require polish.

  • graphics

    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics are praised for being visually pleasing and immersive, with beautiful visuals and well-chosen animations. Users appreciate the updated design compared to the original, contributing to an enjoyable player experience.

    • “Aside from UI tweaks and having to invert the 'move' & 'rotate' buttons for more player-friendly control, the game has a solid start with great graphics and good player immersion.”
    • “The easy-to-follow tutorial, graphic design, and music are huge pluses.”
    • “The visuals are beautiful, and the animations are well chosen.”

  • story

    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players appreciate the early access status, hopeful for more missions and ghost interactions in the future, but note current bugs and confusing tutorial elements detract from the experience. The story's mood is enhanced by music and character dialogue, though some dialogue auto-skips prematurely, limiting immersion. Overall, there is potential for a richer narrative once issues are addressed.

    • “The early access notice is welcomed because it gives me hope that the developer has more missions, and hopefully more ghosts, in store for the future.”
    • “I really enjoyed Phinaes speaking to me in the second mission, so it would be great to hear the rest of the ghosts doing so from the start and throughout all of the dialogues.”
    • “(True story) the music gets you right in the mood for haunting humans.”
    • “I also ran into a bug that required me to restart the second mission when I was halfway through, which significantly reduced gameplay time. Additionally, there seem to be game-breaking bugs that still need to be fixed.”
    • “I streamed this to my channel and got as far as the third level out of six locales to explore, but due to confusion regarding the tutorial pop-up explaining the mission selector table, I mistakenly thought it was the last available level in the early access version.”
    • “The early access notice is welcomed because it gives me hope that the developer has more missions, and hopefully more ghosts, planned for the future.”

  • gameplay

    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is well-designed and polished, featuring satisfying core mechanics and balanced explanations that engage players without overwhelming them. Notably, the voice acting adds charm, especially with the quirky ghost accents, enhancing the overall experience. While some technical aspects need improvement, the gameplay remains enjoyable and thoughtfully crafted.

    • “Apart from the technical part, gameplay is polished, well thought out, and scaring your opponents is very satisfying.”
    • “Explanations for game mechanics are balanced very well as they explain how game mechanics work to the player without feeling overbearing.”
    • “The game needs a bit more work but the core mechanics are good so far.”

  • music

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music effectively sets a haunting and immersive mood, complementing the game's atmosphere. It is consistently praised alongside the tutorial and graphic design as a major positive aspect.

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The atmosphere is praised for being intense, varied, and rich with sarcasm, creating a compelling and immersive experience even during early access. Users appreciate its depth and dynamic tone.

    • “I am already in love; it is more atmospheric, more violent, more varied, more sarcastic, more everything, and it is only in early access.”

  • optimization

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game demonstrates excellent optimization, delivering stable 120fps at 4K on medium settings with an RX 9070 XT while maintaining low GPU and CPU temperatures, especially impressive for an early access title.

    • “Performance is phenomenal considering it is early access, I got solid capped 120fps on 4K, medium settings on RX 9070 XT with low temps on GPU and CPU.”

  • stability
