New mechanics for ghosts reaction



Now when players scare the ghost away, it takes a protective object in his hands and examines it. Meanwhile, players should run away from the ghost for a certain distance in order not to fall under his next attack. If players do not run away to the right distance, attacks continue continuously until the death of the players

This distance depends on the subject, the ghost and the difficulty level. An alarm sound warns you about this distance

February'23 Update

We are glad to present you a major update of the game, in which you may find a large-scale change in the behavior of ghosts. Thank you for being with us all this time! In this update, you will find:

  • Ghosts now hide in the rooms. They need to be searched for to get evidence.
  • Ghosts now have a special hunt, during which they become invulnerable. You need to run away from them and hide. Hiding won't come out at an insane level of difficulty.
  • The ghosts received a unique condition for each of their age and mood.
  • Also, the insane difficulty becomes really INSANE! Now the usual EMP, thermometer and notepad do not work here. Instead, new evidence is emerging.
  • New map - Swamp House
  • New ghost - Kuchisake Onna
  • Added a modifier - High Rank.
  • The new item is an adrenaline syringe. Allows you to run fast, which helps you with deadly hunting.
  • Redesigned sounds in the game


The game becomes more difficult, and the mechanics are deeper, so the total reward for passing increases.

More information about the new game mechanics can be found in the video on the Steam page and read in the "How to play" section in the Tablet and the game menu
