  • Unique approach to ghost hunting, combining elements from Phasmophobia and Observation Duty, providing a fresh experience.
  • Engaging gameplay that becomes more challenging and exciting at higher difficulty levels, with a cohesive loop that keeps players on their toes.
  • The developer is responsive to community feedback and has rolled out updates to improve the game, showing potential for future enhancements.
  • Lack of clear instructions and a tutorial makes it difficult for new players to understand the mechanics, leading to confusion.
  • Gameplay can feel slow and lacking in intrigue, especially on easier difficulties, with some players finding it too easy to complete.
  • User interface could use improvements, particularly in the upgrades menu, which can be cumbersome to navigate.

    The gameplay involves sitting at a desk, monitoring cameras to identify ghost types while avoiding danger, creating a tense atmosphere enhanced by sound cues. While some players appreciate the cohesive and scary gameplay loop reminiscent of titles like Phasmophobia and Five Nights at Freddy's, others find it slow and lacking in intrigue, leading to mixed feelings about its engagement level.

    • “A really cohesive gameplay loop as well, and it's genuinely scary when you're sitting in silence and hear someone knocking on the door right next to you.”
    • “Phasmophobia looks like I'm on observation duty mixed with Five Nights at Freddy's gameplay.”
    • “I found the gameplay to be rather slow and lacking intrigue.”
    • “The elements are there, but they lend more to the ghost hunting and FNAF style of gameplay.”
    • “You sit at a desk, observe the cameras, and look for differences with your tools to help discover what the ghost type is, all while avoiding danger at your desk which you can hide under; you never walk around.”

    The story aspect of the game is generally acceptable during missions, but the upgrade system lacks visual context and clarity, making it feel uninformed and cumbersome. Players find the upgrade menu inefficient, as it requires multiple steps to manage upgrades, detracting from the overall experience.

    • “After you play a few missions, you'll understand why.”
    • “For missions, it's fine, but when it comes to upgrades, it seems they share no image for them. The same screen was used for missions as it was for the upgrades, which had no contextual image, leaving it black and uninformative. The upgrades menu could be improved so you don't have to methodically enter, select one, then disable it; it could be done on the same screen as the upgrades.”

    Users have noted that proper setup, such as having a microphone plugged in, can significantly improve the game's performance, leading to a smoother experience.

    • “I figured out I needed to have my mic plugged in by looking at the discussion page; after doing that, the game runs smoothly now.”
  • replayability
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Reviewers indicate that the game's replayability is currently limited but expect it to improve significantly with the addition of more content in the future.

    • “Will definitely have more replayability when more content is added.”
