01 / THE GUIDE
Investigation Mode
Investigation offers a classic ghost‑hunting experience across varied maps such as houses, a manor, a chapel, a motel, and a blizzard‑covered location. Players collect evidence by day and must survive the night when darkness forces reliance on night‑vision.
Each map contains hidden story elements that explain the ghost’s origin, adding narrative depth to the hunt. The mode emphasizes movement, awareness, and quick decisions during chases.
- Observe environmental cues early to locate hidden story clues.
- Balance sprinting with careful listening to maximize evidence collection.
02 / THE GUIDE
Ghost Types
The game features thirty distinct ghost types, each with unique behaviours, personality, known and hidden traits. Differences include speed, hunt duration, and aggression, ensuring each investigation feels fresh.
Understanding these traits helps players predict ghost actions, improving survival chances during night hunts.
- Compare observed ghost behaviour with known traits to narrow the type quickly.
- Note hidden traits during early encounters for later reference.
03 / THE GUIDE
Night Vision
When darkness overtakes the map, night vision becomes essential for navigation and spotting the ghost. It serves as your last resort when darkness takes over during investigations.
Staying aware of your surroundings and planning escape routes matters during chases.
- Save night vision for when darkness takes over, as it is your last resort.
- Sprint only when needed, since movement and quick decisions matter during chases.

Character Customization
Players can create personalized characters using detailed options for appearance, body features, skin tone, clothing, and more. Lobby settings are also customizable, allowing groups to tailor their shared space.
Customization lets players create a character that feels personal.
- Use visual cues from teammates’ outfits to coordinate roles during hunts.
- Experiment with different clothing colors to improve visibility in dark areas.
05 / THE GUIDE
Exorcism Mode (Upcoming)
Exorcism Mode expands on Investigation by placing players after prior investigators have identified the haunting. Set in the same locations, it promises heightened terror and a focus on uncovering the ghost’s trauma.
The goal is to exorcise the entity while avoiding a demon, adding a new layer of narrative challenge.
- Study the ghost’s backstory in Investigation to prepare for the trauma you may need to uncover in Exorcism.
- Stay close to teammates to share information quickly during intense moments.
