Hunting ghosts in abandoned houses
Ghost Watchers is a co-op online horror game about exploring abandoned houses and hunting the ghosts inside them. The ghosts range from the souls of suicides to demons and stranger creatures, including the spirit of a vampire that slowly drains blood from everyone who comes near. Each ghost has its own unique attack and animations, and there are 20 types of unique ghosts in total, covering human souls, strange creatures, and several types of demons. The game is played from a first-person perspective and leans into a dark, realistic, cinematic tone.
Working as a team to gather evidence
Your job in each hunt is to explore the ghost and then catch it. Everything matters along the way: you look for evidence, work out the type of ghost, determine its age, and figure out what mood it is in. To do that, you have over 60 types of detailed tools for collecting evidence and fighting ghosts. The hunt is a team-based PvE affair, so your group splits up the legwork, pools what each person finds, and pieces the ghost's identity together before making a move. The seven game locations are filled with clues for catching ghosts as well as interesting Easter eggs to uncover while you search.
Before you start
Different types of game modifiers are available to diversify the gameplay, so runs can feel different from one another depending on which ones you use. The hunt is nonlinear, letting you approach the house and the evidence in your own order. The game is in Early Access, which means new ghosts and new locations will be added over time, so the lineup you play with now is not the final one.
