The moment we saw a doppelganger (Spoliers)

[Andii]

Some buddies and I just finished our first medium sized map and made a terrifying discovery. Upon finding the hot spot on the map we started to set up our gear in waves going back to the van to collect more as a group. Our 3rd trip revealed either a spooky glitch or a terrifying mechanic. We opened the door to the room (Keep in mind we only had 2 flashlights making it difficult to track every and were only using in game chat to communicate) and saw a ghost hunter inside. Several seconds later...it disappeared. We all asked who was in there mainly to the player with that skin. No one had entered but we all saw it clear as day. From that point on the room became dangerous with the door constantly having the door slam closed with music/ talking/ growling coming from inside as our EMF spiked and the lights flickered. without a doubt that was the scariest this game had been and honestly I love it. I hope its an intended feature that sees more development!

its a terrifying mechanic, and its pretty cool to experience.

I just saw that in a game like 5 minutes ago and i literally ♥♥♥♥ my pants. I didn't know what it was but I hate it. Do we know why this happens?

I believe it's just one of the level7+ activities

awesome =)

how aobut adding easter egg like 666 on the basketballcounter does enable any ghost
to attack that specific player all the time.
or yelling special phrases and triggerwords like necronomicon ex mortis or "im not scared " or something trigger terrible terrible things ^^ ....and DONT ever tell the playerbase - just get crazy with those things...but dont go full clownmode. this had to be serious stuff

I had this happen last night. My friend was on his way, from the car, while I was in the basement.
He was bringing the camera, as I had determined the ghost was primarily haunting the basement.
I saw him come down the stairs, and called out to him, relieved to not be alone down there anymore. But he did not answer, he just looked at me. And then... He flicked the lightswitch, and I was plunged into darkness!
I thought he was just pranking me, but then he walked up to me, and then... Just disappearing half a meter from my face, with a menacingly ghostly whispering...
Then my real friend came down, and wondered what the heck I had been screaming about. ^ ^'

A couple of minutes later, after we talked to the ghost with the spirit box out, the ghost walked down the stairs, and snapped my friend's neck. While I desperately mashed buttons to save him. :O
When his dead body hit the floor, and the ghost woman turned to look at me, I just noped out of there like a bat out of Hell!

And then... My friend was like, what's the matter with you, open the door to the car. o O'
I had a major "WTF I thought you were dead moment", I opened the door, but my friend was nowhere to be seen... I glanced over the sanity meter, and his status was a question mark, instead of a percentage...
My friend was dead... But he was still with me...

This game is freaking amazing at times. Definitely one of the best ghost hunting horror games I have played, right next to Hellsign.

One of the funniest and scariest moments I have ever experienced in this game was with a poltergeist. We were on the second floor and had found out the ghost had been haunting the area between all the rooms right at the top of the stairs. After getting all of our evidence we went back in to try to get a few objectives done, one of which being to take a picture of the ghost. We started saying the ghosts name and speaking to it through the spirit box and at this point it was very actively throwing things around us when we asked. At one point it got kind of quiet and we asked it to throw something and the spirit box said "floor" and there was an object on the floor and immediately after it said "catch" and tossed it towards the person holding the spirit box. It was hilarious and terrifying.

During the same match we were calling it's name and it walked directly in front of the person holding the spirit box and said "close" .. "death". We got out of there so fast after that..

Is this true? Cos this sounds like total bull to me XD But if its mechanics from the later levels then i apologise and am suitably impressed by how deep this game can get! I've never had the ghost do anything when i'm outside the house. I dont know how you could be in the lorry with the door closed after your friend died without the mission ending. I don't know how the AI could be smart enough to trick you into opening the lorry door thinking it was your friend. Are you sure this wasnt a dream you had after playing?!? :D

For my part - the closest thing so far (which was possibly just a coincidence) was after I was dead - one of my team mates was using the spirit box. I was just randomly following them around trying to talk to them (alternating V and B for local/global) but they couldnt hear me. Then the voice over the spirit box apparently said HELLO to them after I had said "Hello?" - they were totally surprised like "Oh I guess its a friendly ghost, Hi there!" ^_^

A friend of mine was watching another friend of mine walk around a room upstairs in one of the houses and they weren't responding to them and im just sitting there like??? their dead body is at the door what you mean?

I don't like being accused of making stuff up, but you did preemptively apologise in advance, so I will let it slide. ^_^'

I thought I made it clear it was my friend talking to me, as in over voice chat. We were talking over Discord voice chat.
Admittedly I did write it all down in a somewhat dramatic fashion, but the facts were the same.

The ghost never followed us out of the house. My friend got his neck snapped(or maybe suffocated, or frightened to death?) in the basement, and I ran out of the house, when the ghost was turning to chase after me.

My friend having died, and entered the spirit world, followed me back to the car, without realising he had died. So we both got a bit shocked and startled.

I was shocked he was following behind me as normal, and asking me to open the car door, seeing as I just saw him dead. And then seeing he was not visible outside the car.
And he was shocked when he realised he was dead, and a... Ghost...

And the mission did not end, as I had not picked a possible ghost identity in the journal.
The mission wont end if you never pick which ghost you think it is.

Hope that cleared up any confusion. ^_^

Sounds like you and your friends had a fun time too. ;)

Definitely! Loving the game so far. We've had one instance where one of our team died - very dead - crumpled up in a corner dead...but he was also back alive again walking around fully visible but unable to interact with objects. Totally freaked us all out when we found his body and he had just been walking around with us for 15mins not mentioning he was dead! Speaks to the games atmosphere that even the glitches seem like amazing features ^^

Oh yeah, definitely. This game gets the creativity and superstitions up to boiling point for most people, it seems.
Its fun to see just how many things people get wrong, and sometimes hilariously wrong, when you watch streamers play the game. As they try to guess at the game's mechanics and capabilities. Kinda like in real life, where normal stuff gets interpreted as upset ghosts, when viewed through a superstitious lense. :P
