The graphics of the game have received a significant and faithful upgrade, enhancing the original's retro aesthetic with modern polish, improved textures, and vibrant lighting effects. While some players appreciate the refreshed visuals and the preservation of the game's charm, others criticize the inclusion of modern-style objects that clash with the original design. Overall, the updated graphics breathe new life into the game, making it visually appealing while maintaining the spirit of the classic.
- “This is a faithful and fruitful graphical upgrade and content-injected recreation of the original.”
- “The revamped graphics are a revelation—textured environments, vivid spectral designs, and refined UI breathe fresh life into a game I once only remembered in fragments.”
- “The updated graphics breathe new life into the game, making the ghosts, environments, and spectral effects look better than ever while still keeping the charm of the original.”
- “The graphic differences are too jarring.”
- “This feels like an especially bad approach to the matter when the usage of AI generation is restricted to creating assets that stick out horribly due to not fitting the game's style, have no impact on gameplay, and would have looked more endearing if the developers had commissioned some low-effort graphic designer to slap something together for a low rate.”
- “The first thing I must say is: this game only improved the graphic quality (I acknowledge this improvement), but not the operation and gameplay at all!”

The gameplay is praised for its unique mechanics and engaging plot, offering a refreshing take on traditional RPGs and simulators, with improved AI and smoother controls enhancing the haunting experience. However, players have noted significant issues, including bugs, inconsistent mechanics, and some repetitive elements that detract from the overall enjoyment. While the game has made strides in graphics and quality-of-life improvements, many feel that core gameplay elements remain flawed and could benefit from further refinement.
- “The plot, the mechanics, the puzzles - everything about it is interesting and different from all the other run-of-the-mill RPGs and simulators out there.”
- “The core haunting mechanics—the strategy of deploying banshees, gremlins, and grim specters to unnerve Gravenville’s residents—are intact and smoother than ever, thanks to improved AI and control.”
- “The refreshed gameplay tweaks add a smoother experience, and I really appreciate the quality-of-life improvements that make haunting even more fun.”
- “This feels like an especially bad approach to the matter when the usage of AI generation is restricted to creating assets that stick out horribly due to not fitting the game's style, have no impact on gameplay, and would have looked more endearing if the developers had commissioned some low-effort graphic designer to slap something together for a low rate.”
- “The core gameplay loop is just plain busted too.”
- “Yes, it is flawed and there are bugs and some mechanics not well polished.”

The story of the game revolves around players stepping into the role of a ghost master, tasked with completing various mission objectives using a diverse team of ghosts. While the narrative includes new content and previously cut missions, players have noted issues with mission completion and bugs that detract from the overall experience, including a lack of a conclusive ending. Despite these challenges, the game offers quality-of-life improvements and the ability to replay missions, enhancing the storytelling experience for fans of the original.
- “Step into the shoes of the ghost master, a newly appointed demonic supervisor tasked with completing mission objectives by utilizing your ragtag squad of spectral, yet wonderfully unpredictable, employees.”
- “Experience Act 4, a collection of levels and missions so complex they were banished from the original game for being too challenging!”
- “Going back to old missions allows you to use ghosts you’ve obtained in later acts, again a massive quality of life improvement.”
- “It had glitches that prompted swift restarts to levels through no fault of the player, and (perhaps most egregiously) it lacked a true ending level to wrap up the story.”
- “On more than one mission I had to restart because ghosts could not perform their haunts; more frustrating was that you were not allowed to replay missions and had to reload a previous save. There is a lot of work to do on this to make it workable, and the fact there is no way to report the bugs to the devs does not fill me with confidence.”
- “However, I have encountered a new game-breaking bug. If you replay a mission that you've unlocked all the ghosts on, when you close the end mission and go back to the map, all locations except the ghoul room disappear.”
