Our take on Abnormality
The focus on active chases and survival gives up the slower investigative pacing found in some ghost-hunting games. Its current structure also concentrates play around Investigation, while Exorcism, Thief, and Survival modes are planned or listed as future content.
What is Abnormality?
Abnormality is a cooperative horror game about examining haunted sites and enduring attacks from ghosts.
Players gather clues, determine which of 30 ghost varieties they face, and adapt to differences in movement speed, hostility, pursuit length, habits, and special characteristics. Sprinting enables foot chases, and night vision provides visibility in unlit spaces. Available settings include residential buildings, an estate, a religious building, a roadside lodging location, and areas altered by events such as blizzards. Secret narrative details reveal the background of each ghost. Players can alter their character’s looks, physique, complexion, and outfits, as well as customize lobbies. Investigation is the main available mode; Exorcism, Thief, and Survival modes are planned or listed for later release.
