Major Update or a New Game? You Decide

Hey, Hunters! Over the past few months, we've rebuilt Ghost Watchers almost from the ground up. Identifying a ghost is now just the beginning. You'll have to weaken it in combat before entering the Demon Realm to capture its soul Before we release these changes, we want you to experience the new gameplay for yourselves and help us make one very important decision Sign-ups for the closed playtest are now open! Spots are limited, so make sure to register!

WHAT'S NEW Three-Phase Hunts

Investigation — Gather evidence and identify the ghost. This phase is now more dangerous: you can't hurt the ghost until you've identified it. To help you survive, we've added hiding spots and new special items

Hunt — Ghosts now have health bars. Use the Ecto-Revolver, Holy Salt, Fire Salt, grenades, and withering light to wear them down. Reduce the ghost's health to zero to unlock the final phase

Sealing — Gather inside the pentagram and enter the Demon Realm, where the final confrontation awaits

The Final Battle in Hell

The ghost's soul is bound by infernal chains. Shoot a flying demon with your magic crossbow to take control of it, then charge into the glowing chain links to break them while other demons try to stop you. Break the final chain, then use your ghost catcher to capture the soul!

Hunter Academy

Welcome to the new lobby, featuring four faculties: Paranormal Studies, Exorcism, Spiritualism, and Ether Engineering We've also added a story mode built around these faculties, each with its own unique objectives and perks

Perks & Bracelets

Perks come in two types: active and passive Use Ecto-Barrier to block a ghost's path, Mental Contact to reveal its hiding place, or Blood Pact to instantly reload your revolver at the cost of your own health Choose the abilities that suit your playstyle! New bracelet mechanics also interact with perks, opening up new strategies and ways to approach each hunt

And that's not all: We've introduced a new networking system, upgraded the game to Unity 6, and added controller support

WE NEED YOUR VOTE
