Early Access Review
I greatly recommend this game for anyone looking for a singleplayer ghost hunting experience, especially if you want to play for a long time and want a game with a good progression system.

Where does this game shine in this genre?

- all your tools are on you, no running back and forth, great for singleplayer
- progression - getting (or losing) reputation with guilds (fair warning, can be a littly grindy), gradually unlocking entities, which slowly ups the difficulty
- very fun photo system - many photo types, you can only take one photo of each type per game, you can discard any photos you don't want
- you can reliably reach a perfect game, which (along with the progression system) greatly motivates you in always going for perfection
- you don't just look for the ghost type, but also things like name, how they died etc. - you have more to do than just look for evidence
- nice mix of evidence - some you have to carefully look for, some just sort of happens
- you can randomly receive a challenge that brings you out of your routine

Other characteristics of this game (but not necessarily cons!):

- you figure out the ghost type and banish it with guns using custom ammo
- there is no safe spot -> meaning more tension, and you can't just go to the bathroom in the middle of a contract
- you cannot hide from hunts ("chase") - once you get into the ghost's chase range, it will be almost constantly after you and thus you must have the ghost figured out by this time
- sometimes, particularly on higher difficulties, you might have to leave unfinished or you will die
- there are currently 9 maps (4 small, 3 medium, 2 large)
- on multiplayer, there is shared health, so you cannot mess around with your friends much, and since you don't need help bringing in equipment, I don't think multiplayer brings much to this game
- there is currently not much in terms of customizing your game or character (you can, however, choose characters with different perks)
- decent tutorial
- MUST CHANGE KEYBINDS
