👻 What Is The Ghost

A dark blend of suspense, strategy, and horror in a 2D top-down style.
You are a new recruit of the mysterious Hunter Corporation, an organization that hunts ghosts by collecting and analyzing cursed artifacts. Each mission takes you into abandoned houses and other eerie places – but only if you combine clues wisely and survive will you uncover the true identity of the ghost.

🕯️ The Hunt Begins

As a rookie hunter, you start out poorly equipped and inexperienced. Yet your missions lead you straight into the heart of darkness: places filled with paranormal anomalies, cursed objects, and deadly spirits.
Your goal: collect enough evidence to determine which ghost is haunting you.
But beware – the longer you stay, the more active and dangerous it becomes.

🎮 Gameplay Features

• Unpredictable Ghost AI
  Every ghost has unique traits and preferred behaviors. Some launch relentless hunts, others terrify you with jump scares or manipulate their surroundings.
  Most dangerous of all: each ghost has favorite artifacts it loves to curse – a key clue to its identity.

• Multiple Ways to Identify the Ghost
  To correctly identify the spirit, you must combine several factors:

  • Which artifacts were cursed?

  • How many artifacts are affected?

  • How strong is the curse?

  • What behavior does the ghost display?

• Risk-Reward System & Difficulty Levels
  Play on Easy, Normal, Hard, or Nightmare.
  The higher the difficulty, the more aggressive the ghost – and the greater the rewards.

• Artifact & Anomaly System
  Break anomalies open to collect artifacts. Normal (blue) anomalies contain valuable clues – but bloody (red) anomalies are created with the ghost’s old blood. Opening them risks triggering an immediate hunt.

• Hide and Survive
  If the ghost spots you, the hunt begins. Break line of sight or hide in closets – but beware, it may still check your last known location.

• Progression & Equipment
  Earn experience, rise through the ranks, and collect money.
  Buy runes and flashlights to increase your survival chances and push deeper into the nightmare.

• Skilltree (Mastery Hub)

  Earn Void Essence trough ingame actions. Improve your abilities as a ghost hunter. 

• Ghost Wiki
  All known ghost types are documented. Study their behavior, curse patterns, and unique traits to identify the entity haunting you.

🔮 Upcoming Features (Early Access Roadmap)

• Multiplayer – investigate with friends in co-op ghost hunts.

• Hunter Corporation Portal – compete with other hunters: will you become Employee of the Month?

• More ghost types & artifacts.

• Inventory system for equipping and actively using items.

• Optional missions (e.g., take a photo of the ghost).
