Our take on Ghostist
Ghostist puts identifying a ghost before trying to banish it. Investigations involve interpreting clues and using a chart, while exorcism attempts come after money has been earned and bones collected. That sequence departs from games built around immediate confrontation.
What is Ghostist?
Play as a ghost investigator exploring different locations.
Use tools and sensory clues, from faint sounds to attacks, to identify the ghost. The Ghost Identification Chart lets players mark possible symptoms and see which ghost types may fit. Money earned can be spent on equipment for locating ghosts, keeping them away, or reducing fear. Once enough money has been gathered, attempt to banish ghosts with an exorcism kit. Collect bones scattered across maps of different sizes and choose the correct ghost type; choosing incorrectly can make the ghost angry. Investigations also carry the risk of being killed.
