The game's story aspect is minimal, primarily revolving around the progression of expanding the player's house, which serves as a hub for missions. While the missions vary in length and ghost types, they often feel easy and lack depth, leading to a repetitive experience despite the enjoyment of quick, engaging gameplay. Players express a desire for a more developed story mode to enhance the overall experience.
“I also enjoy how every mission is different in terms of ghost type, ghost behavior, and evidence to find.”
“The fast missions make this a perfect 'play for a few minutes before bed' game, which is huge for me while trying to balance work and classes.”
“...and yet once you get a rhythm going it's hard to stop playing mission after mission.”
“The only progression is making your house (the hub between missions) larger, and that is all.”
“The missions themselves currently feel a tad easy; without giving too much away, there are some ghosts you have to worry way less about than other ghosts.”
“As you go through each mission, you get the sense that the tools you buy with in-game money are luxuries that feel nice to use but don't feel all that helpful for these already-easy hunts.”
