Everyone on our team has their own roles: placing equipment, drawing protective seals, gathering evidence, or contacting the otherworldly.
Although this is a video game in which nothing poses a direct threat to you in real life, your nerves, on the other hand… We will leave this question up to your courage.
How terrifying is it? How far are you willing to go for the truth?
You may have to hold your breath for this, our project is designed to constantly keep you on your toes.
Believe me, they know you are hunting them, and they won’t just let it slip…
More than ten various residencies: abandoned farmer grounds, creepy mansions, an old school, and a huge museum, in which every exhibit is horrifying in its own way.
A fine selection of ghost hunting equipment.
Your life often depends on choosing the right equipment…
25+ types of primary and secondary equipment for determining the ghost type and exiling it.
So what can we interest you with? What does our game do better than other titles?
The biggest selling point of our game is the exile mechanic. Besides determining the ghost or demon type by present evidence, you also have ritual preparations, ritual items, and different kinds of seals.
And of course, the book of exile, which gives you the ability to contact the otherworldly using your voice…
All ritual texts are real and are translated from Latin. Sometimes it seems that they actually have some destructive power, hidden within them. But be careful, “it” will try to prevent you from completing the ritual in every possible way.
The hunt has begun, God save you.
What engine is the game developed on, and what technologies and mechanics do we use?
This is our first project, but there was no question about what engine to use. We are familiar with Unity and are comfortable working with it. That is why we chose it.
We have such technologies as:
Speech recognition (this asset is not our development, but we modernized it to fit our goals. It also makes getting immersed in the game much more interesting.)
The ability to customize your gameplay by complicating or simplifying jobs, which directly affect the outcome of exile and the safety of your sanity.
- Additional ritual stages, for example, the world of shadows, where hunters will have to enter the dark portal and find a good part of the soul while avoiding the shadows and the keeper.
- Advanced ghost behavior during the hunt, it will be less likely to fall behind you, will chase you for longer, and even hear your microphone without you pressing the button…
- Favorite things - an entity gets an item to which it was emotionally attached during life. The hunters have to find it and burn, otherwise, it will be much harder to exile the entity.
This is only a part of the additional content you can diversify your gameplay with.
A huge selection of various tools and equipment for interacting with otherworldly entities. For example: a voice recorder, which allows you to record your voice and listen back to the recording for a ghost’s responses among the background noise.
Implementation of the “Life After Death” mechanic
Deceased hunters will be able to interact with live ones by closing portals, which can create additional obstacles for ghosts. They can also interact with items to provide hints when searching for evidence using sound.
Who is behind all these horrors?
The main team: 4 demon hunters that also can get help from up to 5 hunters for hire.

What were our inspirations, and why this genre?
Of course, it was the well-known project called Phasmophobia. Having played it for some time, we realized that there was something missing, and later we decided to bring our vision and ideas to life. Besides, we are big fans of the supernatural, and the Supernatural series as well.
Let’s lift the veil on the future, but we will be brief and give a synopsis of our further work.
- Atmosphere (Lighting enhancements, flashlight replacement, flashlight enhancements) ;
- Revealing ghosts by evidence;
- Ghost progression (3 levels to uncover);
- Updating the existing ghost events and screamers and adding new ones;
- Addition of a loading scene with tips;
- More detailed job descriptions;
- Updating the existing ritual stages and adding new ones;
- Adding new maps. Map customization so that every job was different, even if it’s at the same house.
