Track elusive paranormal entities, decipher eerie ghostly manifestations, and trap restless phantoms before your courage runs out in a tense, cooperative supernatural deduction game.
Ghost Hunter: Spirits (published by Outset Media / OSM) drops players straight into the boots of paranormal investigators exploring haunted rooms, decrepit hallways, and forgotten estates. Stepping away from complex, miniature-heavy campaign crawlers or pure horror survival games, this title focuses on cooperative teamwork, thematic clue deduction, and press-your-luck risk management. The primary gameplay objective centers on supernatural containment: players collaborate to investigate anomalous cold spots, gather EMF and EVP evidence, identify the specific haunting entity lingering on the premises, and execute a successful banishing ritual or trap before panic overwhelms the team.
The primary mechanical hurdle stems from balancing thorough evidence collection against an escalating fear and corruption track. Each turn, investigators enter shifting rooms to inspect eerie markers, rolling dice or drafting equipment cards—such as spirit boxes, ultraviolet torches, and salt canisters—to uncover hidden clues about the ghost's nature. However, lingering too long in high-activity zones triggers sudden paranormal spikes, flickering lights, and phantom manifestations that drain player stamina and spike sanity loss. Players must coordinate roles, trade gear, and cross-reference discovered evidence against an entity field guide to deduce whether they are facing a banshee, poltergeist, or vengeful wraith. Designed for 1 to 4 players aged 10 and up, a complete paranormal case unfolds over a gripping 30 to 45 minutes. To survive the night, your crew must remain calm under pressure, decipher the signs, and trap the spirit before the house claims you.
