  • gameplay18 mentions

    The gameplay is characterized by a fast-paced, proactive approach that encourages players to run or hide rather than passively react, reminiscent of phasmophobia-style games but with unique mechanics like the unsettling miasma and limited electricity for lights. While some players find the mechanics simple yet engaging, others feel they are clunky and the gameplay lacks depth, though there is potential for future improvements and expansions based on community feedback. Overall, the game offers a fun and intriguing ghost hunting experience with room for growth.

    • “I really like the style of the game as well as the unsettling blurry insanity mechanic that forces you to a fast-paced playstyle.”
    • “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.”

    • “The miasma mechanic where you have to ring the bell in the darkness is so migraine-inducing.”

  • story4 mentions

    Reviewers express a desire for a more traditional "guess the ghost" mission structure, while appreciating the introduction of side quests.

    • “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. There is hardly time as it is to do that, and side missions take even more time, so for now, some of them feel very hard to do.”
    • “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 on the map that the player might have to find using equipment like a magnifying glass or special UV light.”
