Are Ghosts Real?
Have you ever wanted to explore spooky locations and hunt for ghosts?
In Ghost Hunter Simulator, the player takes on the role of an aspiring ghost hunter with the goal of building their social media empire - as the true believer who finally found proof or the skeptic who exposes all those other charlatans.
Ghost Hunter Simulator is not a horror game, but rather “Cozy Spooky.” Think Haunted Mansion, not Haunting of Hill House. There are times where the game gets spooky, but there are no jump scares, no gore, and no immediate danger to the player.
Players will spend much of their time exploring allegedly haunted locations and gathering evidence of the paranormal, as well as learning the lore and history of the location. Ghost Hunter Simulator uses a first-person view and focuses on using real world ghost hunting tools to collect evidence - either that full-body apparition photo that proves to the world, once and for all, that ghosts or real, or a video clip debunking the local ghost story by showing that the curtains only move because there's an air vent across the room that kicks on.
Once the Ghost Hunter has gathered their evidence, the next step is to tell everyone. Using a simple grid-based puzzle mini-game, the player will sort and tag their evidence (e.g. "spooky", or "funny", or "EVP", or even "prank") to post on various in-game social sites - like BooTube or Deaddit. Follow the trends and your audience to earn fame and fortune - which coincidentally allows you to ghost hunt at more famous locations with cooler equipment!
The locations visited in Ghost Hunter Simulator range from real world locations you COULD go investigate if you had the proper equipment and travel arrangements to fictional locations from our favorite spooky media. Explore in safety, from the comfort of your own home, and find evidence (or lack thereof) of ghosts!
Ghost Hunter Simulator is currently in development by Ryan and Kim Steiner, two former AAA developers, along with support from Matt Fossen, Ross Sigworth, and John Barnes. Ghost Hunter Simulator will be updated at regular intervals - not only for bug fixing, balancing, expanding systems, and such, but also adding in new levels and places to explore.
