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

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.

To correctly identify the spirit, you must combine several factors:Which artifacts were cursed?
How many artifacts are affected?
