Ghosts seem a little too aggressive

[Murray]

From what I've seen on youtube, the player tends to hardly explore the house and spend 90% of the time near the entrance because he has to run back to the RV to safety every time they set foot inside the house for a couple of seconds. It doesn't look like fun to me, a separate mode would be cool where the ghost is calmer or the ghost slowly gets more aggressive as time goes on. Something like this would allow the player to explore the house a bit more which makes the game a little more spooky.

it depends of how much you speak, and what type of ghost, and dificulty you are dealing with.

If you are against a daemon, it will go for you, and if you don't wear a crucifix it will go for you even more.

Shadows are really passive if you don't turn the lights on or talk a lot.

Poltergeist.... well, if you locate their room is better to don't enter or the ghost will go after you.

On top of this you have to add how much you speak, and the dificulty you are playing on.

Not doing stuff to make the ghost less aggressive only buys you like 15 seconds to 1 minute longer duration until the ghost gets aggressive.

Unfortunately this game focuses a lot more in the span of 30 seconds to a minute bursts multipel times, than Phasmophobia's whole 5 to 20 minute sessions.

you can always shoot them with the neutrino gun to stop them AFAIK and earn more time for me this feels like a ghostbuster inspired game tbh but without the traps and the "not cross the lasers" hahaha

I saw Dusk the Viking's gameplay tutorial to teach you, apparently the Statue of Virgin Mary is a very powerful tool where it repels (causes ghost to move away from it if in range/line of sight) up to 3 meters away from it.

If you put on the ground outside of the house at the current map the ghost walks outside, but sees it, then backs off into the corner of the porch before teleporting to the ground in front of the window to run at you to the RV.

This means it's not possible to completely cheese the ghost with the virgin mary statue into a corner so you can throw all your starter gear at it (salt / tiger eye / incense / nitrino gun) but you CAN stand near the statue while it's chasing you and use the exorcism book while using the barrier of the statue to keep the ghost away, just keep a distance so the ghost can't grab you.

EDIT: Statue of Mary only works on Children ghosts, while Crucifix works on Demonic ghosts... They become useless for other ones like Poltergeist, Shadows, and Revenant.

They need to tweak detection and spawn. On the highest difficulty Insym multiple times run into a ghost that was near the house entrance. So within first seconds of your session you can find a ghost room.

If a ghost spawns in rooms next to the main entrance I think it should be harder to detect him in early stage. Or he could teleport to other rooms to make it more ambiguous.

Someone should invite the members of Hololive to play GHC since they liked to play Phasmophobia together at some point in the past, not only is it a twist on the gameplay but the chaos and entertainment of watching them learn the game would be funny.

But first they would need to translate the game to Japanese otherwise most of the JP members wouldn't know how to play.

You can literally go into any map and shout "Spirit, can you show yourself" and it will poof up in front of you out of nowhere, 95% of the time.

As Kai said, and i have one thing to add, you still need to find the ghost room that have the orbs, to exorcise it.

Plus, the ghost will change rooms, and close doors... like, literally that you can't open, sometimes the ghost will lock you on a room, and don't attack you, it will only look at you. Kinda scary if you ask me...

That might be the rare occurance of the ghost taking you hostage rather than killing you outright.

Like 95% of the time if you summon the ghost it will stand and look at you sure, but most of the time it gets irritated the more you summon it and stay in the haunted zone, and then attacks.

I'm asking for a separate mode because I know people like you's will get upset about changing their precious early access game.
