Our take on Distressed
Rather than centering its ghost-hunting premise on sanity management, the game bases its investigation around supplying energy and souls. That shifts the genre convention from monitoring a mental state toward preparing for and disposing of a haunting entity.
What is Distressed?
Investigate hauntings in a first-person horror game set around G.
H. O. S. T. HQ. Play alone or cooperate online with as many as five players while tracking and disposing of a supernatural entity. The game frames ghost hunting around supplying energy and souls rather than relying on sanity-based mechanics. Its core loop combines investigation with entity disposal, with the group working together to survive the encounter.
