  • gameplay
    46 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is characterized by its proactive mechanics, allowing players to engage actively rather than passively, which sets it apart from similar titles like Phasmophobia. Players appreciate the unique character abilities and the simplicity of the mechanics, though some find them clunky and the overall experience lacking depth. The developers are responsive to community feedback, promising future improvements and new content, which adds to the game's potential for growth and enjoyment.

    • “A special highlight is the characters — each has unique abilities, which helps keep the gameplay fresh and engaging.”
    • “The gameplay is very proactive in this genre; what I mean by this is, where Phasmophobia's gameplay loop is very passive and reactive when trying to figure out the ghost, this game is not, which I personally enjoy a lot.”
    • “Really fun game so far, it's a very straightforward game but mechanically complex in other areas.”
    • “The gameplay feels unfinished and lacks any real intrigue or engagement.”
    • “The miasma mechanic where you have to ring the bell in the darkness is so migraine inducing.”
    • “The mechanics are clunky, but the graphics are good to be honest.”
  • graphics
    24 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the graphics of the game are praised for their detail and sharpness, contributing to an engaging and immersive experience. However, some users reported glitches and issues like excessive motion blur that detracted from the visual quality. Despite these concerns, many reviewers see potential for improvement and appreciate the game's aesthetic and design.

    • “Graphics look stellar as well.”
    • “The visuals of the game look amazing and I'm excited to see what new maps could have to offer in terms of layout and location as the first map has a ton of detail and a fun layout to explore.”
    • “The game offers an engaging gaming experience with its realistic graphics and immersive sound design.”
    • “Graphically, I think the game is very solid among its competition. However, there's a really high amount of motion blur on your first load, and even lowering it didn't seem to change much. I hope that will be addressed soon.”
  • humor
    18 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game is praised for its humor, featuring a mix of hilarious moments such as jump scares, quirky ghost designs, and amusing player interactions.

    • “This game has a good sense of humor behind it, especially when you get in a hearse to go to these houses.”
    • “Hilarious moments from getting jump scared, running for your life, and watching your friend get offed because you forgot to tell them the ghost was hunting.”
    • “If anything, the ghost made me laugh; it looks like a goofy goblin that just steals your stuff, and the camera goes to an old-school Resident Evil style static camera when you finish the ritual and can dance around while she burns.”
  • story
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story aspect of the game has received mixed feedback, with players expressing a desire for deeper connections between ghosts and cursed objects, including backstories and clues to enhance immersion. While some appreciate the introduction of side quests, they feel that time constraints hinder their completion, and there is a longing for a return to classic "guess the ghost" missions. Overall, players seek a more narrative-driven experience that enriches the gameplay.

    • “We would love to see more of a connection between the ghost and the cursed objects, maybe by giving some sort of short backstory on the whiteboard or in/after the loading screen, or adding notes and clues in the map, which the player might have to find using equipment like a magnifying glass or special UV light.”
    • “I like the idea of side quests to do while exorcising, but it would be nice to have some more time to get the suitcase or dolls after the exorcism because there is hardly time as it is to do that.”
    • “I miss the classic 'guess the ghost' type of missions, but I understand if they want to do something completely different.”
    • “We would love to see more of a connection between the ghost and the cursed objects, maybe by giving some sort of short backstory on the whiteboard or in/after the loading screen, or adding notes and clues in the map (which the player might have to find by using some equipment like the magnifying glass, maybe special UV light, etc.) like '-name of ghost- loved reading.'”
