どんなゲーム? ドMのゴーストが家の中の小物類に取り憑いているのでガジェット類で探し出して特定し、ゴーストが好きな責め方で虐めて昇天させればプレイ終了。虐め方は火であぶったり水に沈めたり、言葉攻めや蝋攻めもあるぞ! 以上です。
I was super excited for this game to come out, and I was very heartbroken once I bought this game and found out it was nothing what I expected. The videos in this game made the game seem more interactive and more fun that it was. All you do is fine a vessel aka a cursed object. Get evidence BASED OFF THE VESSEL / near the vessel. Then get rid of said vessel to "win" which there is even a win screen. This game had a good concept but definitely not what I was expecting or hoping for. Misleading honestly EDIT FOR DEVELOPERS FEEDBACK: The biggest thing I saw in the videos, at least in MY eyes, was more entity interaction. Not for hunting/killing the player but appearing (events). This biggest thing I was hoping for that I felt like I was mislead on is duel interaction evidence meaning entity evidence AND vessel evidence not just find a vessel and get evidence based off that. For example/feedback/possible future: Once you use the geiser device, and find the vessel. You can move the vessel around but say if you move it out of the room you found it in, you will get hunted more(which is a great challenge when you have to move the vessel infront of a mirror :D) . If you keep it in the general area of where you found it, the ghost gives you evidence around/based off the vessel (which is already in the game). Also, with getting rid/destroying the vessel instead of going to a basic "you successfully rid the vessel / failed" You can have an animation of it destroying the entity attached to it (like a silhouette)
Hi :D i don't typically write reviews BUT seeing as everyone is comparing it to phas let's clarify it :D I have played both games; where the only similarities I have found to be is a ghost hunting you and you have some similar tools. The emf reader from ez-hard is really helpful in fining the location. It as well seems to me people are really interested in how easy they can leave the game once dropping in. Unlike in Phas where you can Guess the ghost and leave with this you can't. ONE person has to be alive and cleanse the Vessel which is really cool! The ghost also interacts with the environment a lot like writing players names on the walls and such. The devs also added knocking on walls which SPOOPY. All and All I have been playing this game since drop and fin myself wanting to play this more than phas for the simple fact we HAVE to solve what ghost it is and cleanse the object before leaving. Granted the game at this time is still REALLY new and is still in development, but so far my Friend and I have convenience almost all of our discord server to purchase this game due to it being a really fun game. The review comparing it to phas need to actually play the game for more than 1.5 hours to see that. 100% IU recommend this game just for people to try it out! The devs are SUPER fast with updates and improvements and bug fixes! Within the first 3 hours of dropping it they altered the darkness.
I have now been playing this game for a bunch of hours and I must say I am quite enjoying it so far. The game feels very polished for an early access. I have not been experiencing any bugs and overall gameplay feel smooth. The overall graphics seems quite good as well. The items that you need to use to locate the vessel seems overall well made and I have had no issues with how to use them so far. The game itself can feel quite hard to begin with, but as soon as you get into how the mechanics works it all makes a lot more sense. I have had no issues locating the vessel so far even when playing solo, of course sometimes it take a bit longer then others but overall its seems to be balanced. I absolutely love playing in a group in this game, everyone has to pitch in and its been a blast so far. The game becomes super intense when the vessel is found, everyone has to help figuring out what the ghost is and how to get rid of it. This becomes even more intense when a hunt starts and everyone starts panicking, its super fun. I love that even when you are dead you can participate and help your team mates, its gives an extra layer to the gameplay that I really enjoy. When it comes to the developers its seems that they are super engaged in the game, there has already been multiple updates and balance changes and the game only got released a few days ago when writing this, that is super impressive and something you rarely see with developers at these times. They are also super active on their discord trying to help out everyone if they experience any difficulties with the game. So, a big thumbs up for that. So yeah overall I am happy that I got the game and really looking forward to see how the game expands in the future. Thank you for a great experience, been a while since I had goosebumps from a horror game.
When I saw Bushwhack 18 making a video on this game, I instantly wanted to try it and I do not regret it. It's very similar to Phasmophobia, however the gameplay is way smoother and a little more straightforward. I also love the interactions with the ghosts. I can recommend this game to everyone who's into this stuff or just wants to give it a shot, since it's also very beginner-friendly. There's still one thing I would like to adress. Please add a second turtorial that includes the hunt-mechanic. Granted, it's not very hard to figure out how to behave during a hunt, however, I can see people who don't have any experience with games like this struggling with that.
Guten Abend Dieses Spiel hat ein "Sehr Gruseliges setting" also wenn man 5 Jahre Alt und Gehirn Amputiert ist, Ansonsten kann man sich um diesen Preis Besseres Kaufen. auch muss man sagen das einem der spiel Spass sehr schnell vergeht, da das Spiel einfach müll ist.
Fait le tour en moins d'une heure, copie de phasmo, pas amusant.
On our 3rd game my friend ascended the mortal plane and was then unkillable. He scared the ghost away from him because the ghost was unable to deal with an intruder because god had forbid the action. The ghost then got scarred for life and quit being a ghost as his day job. He returned being a normal object to support his family the day after. 10/10 game (copy pasted from my friend, I was the one who undertook the ascension in question)

A super scary game with a really unique concept. The idea of a haunted item is not one I've seen in ghost hunting games before and the game does it super well. The houses are FULL of items so even finding the vessel can be a challenge! I love playing co-op and being able to help out even as a ghost, it's a unique experience and really useful. Playing solo is absolutely terrifying in the best way possible - I found myself actually screaming and leaning away from my monitor many times.
