Our take on SPIRITUS
The presentation stresses a return to classic survival horror and a finished major upgrade, while the described play loop is narrower: exploration, firearm combat, inventory management, and story discovery across a manor and its surroundings.
What is SPIRITUS?
SPIRITUS follows retired detective Albert Jackson and his partner Rose as they investigate Ash Manor in Borehamwood, London, after receiving a tip about paranormal activity.
The game uses survival-horror conventions, including firearm combat, monster encounters, inventory management, exploration, and tank-style movement. Players search the manor and nearby areas while uncovering its history through cinematic scenes and written notes. Fixed and moving camera views shape the presentation, while PSX-inspired visual effects evoke classic survival-horror games. The story centers on the manor’s strange events, its damaged inhabitants, and the secrets left behind. Sound effects and a horror soundtrack accompany the investigation.
