New player. Question about lore.

So I watched some videos and have the game but wont get access to a play space for maybe another week. I was wondering. It seems like you are ghost diagnosers not ghost hunters. I guess in most ghost "hunting" "reality" shows they are also just for the diagnosing not hunting them down getting rid of them.

Is there anything, even just a note in this game that implies that after you diagnose a ghost that a team goes in to exercise the spirit/s out of the area? I mean if they know what the spirit is, and want to get rid of it, who do they call?

It’s acknowledged in the game description on the store page. That team is paying us for diagnosing the ghost type.

Oh nice. I wouldn't have thought that the store would include that part of the premise.

It would be cool to play as that team too.

"Phasmophobia is a 4-player, online co-op, psychological horror game. You and your team of paranormal investigators will enter haunted locations filled with paranormal activity and try to gather as much evidence as you can. Use your ghost-hunting equipment to find and record evidence to sell on to a ghost removal team."

Devs are on record that this will Never happen in this game. It changes the dynamic of gameplay so much that it's no longer a puzzle solving investigation game. Being able to fight back against the ghost also completely messes with the atmospheric fear the game builds- If you can fight back and defeat it, you have less reason to fear it.

It doesn't have to be the same game guys. And I didn't say that they should make it. I just said that it would be cool.

There are other ghost hunting games with ways to fight back and exorcise the ghost.
