About The Other Side
The Other Side is a cooperative paranormal investigation game for one to six players. Using both traditional and modern equipment, teams gather evidence, identify ghost types, and cleanse haunted locations. The game runs on Unreal Engine 5 and presents detailed environments that support solo and online co‑op play.
Players can customize characters, vehicles, and a headquarters hub with unlocked apparel, hairstyles, skin tones, and furnishings. Money earned from contracts funds these customizations, and a larger vehicle expands the number of items that can be taken into investigations. Proximity‑based voice chat lets teams coordinate in real time.
01 / THE GUIDE
Identifying Ghosts
During the Identify phase, teams focus on determining the ghost type. Evidence is collected with investigation tools, and ghost behavior is observed to match known patterns. Correct identification is required before any cleansing actions can begin.
Evidence gathering includes tracking activity, recording data, and comparing findings against observed ghost behavior. Successful identification advances the contract and contributes to overall progress.
- Compare multiple evidence types before concluding a ghost type.
- Take brief notes on observed behavior to aid later identification.

Cleansing Process
After a ghost is identified, the team moves to the Cleanse phase. Players use ghost‑hunting tools to input the ghost’s characteristics into the Spectral Affixer, which reveals the locations of binding artifacts.
Destroying the artifacts banishes the ghost from the location. Coordination is essential, as the tools must be applied correctly to complete the contract.
- Confirm artifact locations with the whole team before attempting destruction.
- Synchronize tool usage to avoid wasted attempts.

Customization Options
Progress through contracts unlocks customization for characters, vehicles, and the headquarters hub. Apparel, hairstyles, and skin tones let players personalize avatars, while vehicle upgrades increase item capacity.
Headquarters outfitting lets players furnish and upgrade their base, reflecting contract success and providing an atmospheric hub for the team.
- Prioritize vehicle upgrades if you need to carry more gear.
- Use headquarters decorations to create a clear visual identity for your team.

Voice Communication
In‑game voice chat operates on a proximity basis, letting teammates speak to those nearby in the virtual space. This real‑time channel supports coordination during evidence collection and cleansing.
The spirit box feature also allows communication with fallen friends, adding a thematic layer to the cooperative experience.
- Use proximity chat to focus discussion on immediate threats.
- Experiment with the spirit box for atmospheric immersion.
