Information about locations will be covered soon!

Navigating the Menu

The menu can be a bit confusing when first starting the game, but don't worry, once you use it once, it becomes incredibly easy to navigate.

Firstly press Tab and that will bring up your menu.

Research Tab

You will start in the Research tab. On the left hand side is where you put in your tool findings.



As you put in information you will notice on the right hand side some things will go grey.



As you get more info, eventually only one Ghost, one Age and one Mood will be lit.



Make sure to select each one before trying to enter the information into the device outside the van!

Weakening the Ghost Tab

When you do not have a Ghost selected, this tab will look like this



If you only have a Ghost selected this will show



Once you have the Ghost, Age and Mood selected the menu will show you the Weakening method, what Protection Items work and what doesn't work. It will also show you the tool you need to show the Ectoplasm if you have the Ectoplasm Collection Modifier activated.

Encyclopedia Tab

This tab simply shows the Ghosts and Tools in game. Simply click on each one and it will bring up the information

How to Play Tab

This tab does as its title says. It has pretty much the same information in this guide, I just try to go into more detail.

Lobby Area

When you enter the game, you will be spawned into the Lobby area where you can roam around and explore.

Here you will find a couple things.

1. Daily and Weekly Task Lists



This will show your tasks and how much of a reward you will get for each.


2. Game Menu



Click 'E' to get into the menu. Here you can change the game settings, map, modifiers etc


3. Bracers and Drone Desk



Here you can buy bracers and drones


4. Mic Testing Room



Test your microphone in this room. Located up the stairs behind main menu in the room on the right.


5. Equipment Testing Room & Equipment Room



You can see the effects of interference with radios. See the hot spot tempartures with tools.
Use the shop to buy items for free to test each one out. Location is up the stairs being the main screen in the room on the left.

The equipment room shows each item with a brief description of each one for you to read.




6. Mirror

Change your skin and purchase new ones here




7. Ghost Capsules



In the basement is the Ghost Capsule rooms. There are 4 rooms, each ghost in a room relevant to their level.
In each room, a ghosts has their own capsule. You can see how many of each you have captured and upgrade the capsule with money.


8. Lobby Customisation



Use this screen to buy customisation for your lobby area. Many things can be purchased including a dog and a cat!

Tools

Each time you start a hunt, you will get the basic tools for free. You will only recieve one of each, and if you want more, you will need to buy them. But keep in mind, you can only buy a certain amount of an item each hunt.

In Hand Tools

These are ones you must have in hand to use, some can work on the ground, but are too hard to use as such and you are just better off holding them till you have the thing you need.

Ground Tools

These are ones you can just place on the ground for them to work. For the Research tools you can just check on them every now and then to see if they have been used.
For other tools they will simply do what they do without interference. Some may need to be moved around depending on your needs but you can usually just leave them.

Protection Tools

These are ones that will protect you from being killed or used to hunt the ghost. Before choosing your protection items it is best to find out the type of ghost you have as some items work against some and others don't. You can also bring in the Plasma Absorber and Withering Light to get some protection as most ghosts hate at least 1.
Also, keep in mind that some items you may need later to weaken the ghost, but you can always buy the items if needed, but keep in mind that all items have a buy limit each hunt.

Permanent Bought Items

These are items you buy in the main screen. You will need at least $5,000 to buy each item.
Some are usefull items and some are skins.

• $ = Not Basic item - Must be Bought
  
• * = Needs Modifier Active

To keep up-to-date with any bugs, suggestions, ideas etc, I highly recommend joining the offical Discord. You can get help fast, see anything to be released and such.

Locations

This section will show some pictures of each location and some hints about them.

Ghosts Behaviours & Mechanics

Ghosts Movement

Ghosts now don't just walk around everywhere, so you can't just place your research items near the door and find it, they will now choose a certain room. You must find the room it is in, but keep in mind, it can change room over time and will do so faster the longer you are there.

Ghosts Hunting

Attacks are divided into 2 types: Frightening & Murdering with their own animations.

• Frightening: If the ghost screams and you do not defend yourself, you will slow down and your visibility will deteriorate
  
• Murdering: If the ghost reproduces the animation of murder and you do not defend yourself, you will die.

To run away you will need A Syringe of Adrenaline to do so!
In Insane mode hiding does not work, you must run.

Ghosts Reactions to Objects

The ghosts will snatch and examine protective items. You cannot fully defend yourself against attacks, and must run away as far as possible as it examines the object

• Protects & Weakens Ghost: More time to escape
  
• Protects & Angers Ghost: Less time to escape

If you do not manage to get far enough away in time, the hunt will continue.

Mimicry

Ghosts that are rank 3 can imitate a player to hunt and kill you. Keep aware of who is around you and be careful of suspicious players.
To get away, simply throw an item at the ghost, run outside or into the van (dependent of difficult chosen)

Mind Steal

Rank 4 ghosts have a special mechanic. They will 'capture a players consciousness'. This just means you will be transported to 'the ghosts mind'.
You will then need to find your body and get as far as possible from the ghost.

If you fail to do so, the ghosts will attack, throw objects and kill you. There will be a warning sound for the impending chase.
The camera will always look at the player for an easy escape.

Difference Between Frightening Attack and False Attack

A Frightening Attack is where a ghost will attack and scream in your face as if it is going to kill you. However, it will not kill you. You will be let go and have a slight red tinge to the outside of your screen and will be slowed down.
If the ghost attacks again like this while you are still in this state, you will then be properly attacked and can die.

A False Attack is where the ghost will come at you as if to do a normal attack but will not. It will stand there and then simply leave. It will not scream in your face at all.

Difficulties

Difficulties

Difficulty	When Dragged	Protection Items	Front Door in Attack	Electronic Tools	Outside
Normal	Keep Items	3 Uses	Unlocked	Cannot Break	Safe
High	Drop Items	3 Uses	Can Lock	Cannot Break	Safe
Insane	Drop Items	Many Only 1 Use	Can Lock	Can Break	Not Safe

Basic Difficulty

The basic game is simple.

All you must do is complete the Research to find the Ghost Type, Mood and Age. Once you have found those, weaken the ghost then capture.

I have outlined how to find the Research information.

Once you have done that, click over to the 'Weakening the Ghost' tab and follow the list that shows. Do the list in order to weaken the ghost.

Hard Difficulty

Same premise as Basic difficulty, however you can lose your tools when the ghost takes you away and the door can be locked during an attack.

Insane Difficulty

Same premise as Basic, however you will have to change how you determine EMF and TEMP. The ghost also does not touch the Notebook.

To determine the TEMP, carefully watch the any electrical appliances (radios & televisions), the ghost can turn them on and give clues.

To determine the EMP:

• EMP 3 - Weak intermittent noise from it
  
• EMP 5 - Strong noise from it
  
• RED 3 - Strong noise with sparks from it

To determine the TEMP:

• Very cold - Steam from players mouth, sound of a strong chill
  
• Cold - The sound of a slight chill
  
• Very hot - The sound of strong shortness of breath & liquid on screen

Instead of the Notebook you will require the Children's Cubes. They are scattered throughout your location and can be in multiple places. Find them and the ghost will show you something.
The three possibilities are:

• Human
  
• Skull
  
• Cross

Tracers will also not appear immediately but will after a while.

On normal difficulty. you will not lose items while being attacked in the mind stealing phase.

Modifiers

Modifiers are game modes you can activate to make the game more difficult, however they give extra Money and EXP so they are worth it.

Ectoplasm Collection Modifier

This modifier adds the job to collect 'globs' of ectoplasm around the location. There are 3 to collect, 2 are in random locations but the 3rd is only dropped by the ghost when it is scared away.
When you discover the type of ghost you will be given the knowledge of which tool shows you the ectoplasm.

It is up to you how you collect it, before of after weakening etc but remember, the ghost will attack you when you start collecting it. It is best to place down protection items so you can collect it. If you stop collecting, you will lose your progress and have to start again.

What the orbs look like when revealed


Once your Ectoplasm Collector is 100%, go back to your van and left-click just below the Ghost Catcher to deposit the ectoplasm. Do this 3 times and your Ghost Catcher is ready.

Note: At the present time, people are having difficulties with the ghost not dropping the 3rd orb. I will post fix suggestions as I find them.

Update:
To get the third ectoplasm from the ghost, a user named Terra on the Discord has suggested this:



Normal: +600$ +500*
Hard: +800$ +500*
Insane: +1000$ +500*

Pentagram Modifier

This modifier adds a ritual you must perform after all other weakening processes have been completed. Just complete the Basic Weakening process like normal, then, as you roam the location, you will find the items needed for the process.

You then perform the ritual and then you can use your Ghost Catcher to capture the ghost.

This is what a pentagram looks like. It will have a red lock in the middle with the Ectoplasm modifier activated also.


These are the items needed to perform the ritual, they are randomly around the location:

• Broken Watch
  
• Dreamcatcher
  
• Ritual Mask
  
• Ritual Rose
  
• Dead Mans Skull

⠀⠀


Normal: +600$ +400*
Hard: +800$ +500*
Insane: +1000$ +600*

Sanity Modifier

This is simply an added difficulty. You simply need to keep and eye on your sanity and make sure to take pills to stay sane.
Once your sanity is 0 your protection items may not work and you will die anyway.

I have had reports from some that the price of pills is not worth it at the moment. I will update accordingly.

Normal: +700$ +300*
Hard: +800$ +400*
Insane: +1000$ +500*

High Rank Modifier

Experienced players can play with this modifier to only catch ghosts of rank 2 and 3. You must have the correct levels to get them however.

Normal: +0$ +0*
Hard: +0$ +0*
Insane: +0$ +0*

Run or Die Modifier

Ghosts now have a special hunt in which protection items do not work and you must either hide or run. They will also show an effect when they are invulnerable, so keep an eye out for that.

Difficulty	Player Slowed	Protection Works	Hiding Works
Normal	No	Yes	Yes
Hard	Yes	No	No
Insane	Yes	No	No

Normal: +400$ +400*
Hard: +500$ +500*
Insane: +700$ +700*

Battle Royal Modifier

This modifier lets you compete against other players to catch the ghost. In this mode, items are scattered throughout the map, and any ordered items will drop randomly. Each player must identify the ghost and materialize is to get the opportunity to see the ghost catcher.
Whoever catches the ghost first, wins!

Normal: +800$ +400*
Hard: +1000$ +600*
Insane: +1200$ +800*

Advanced Items Modifier

This modifier will replace some devices with new ones with advanced mechanics. A fun way to diversify your gameplay.

Advanced EMF:
Turn it on using LMB. The top screen will show a number when you find a EMF spot. However, it will be affected by background noise (Tv's, radios etc).
To get the true value, subtract the number on the lower screen, from the top screen.

Example: True value is 3 as we subtract 2 from 5. It also needs to recharge so be careful


Advanced Thermometer
Turn it on using LMB. The screen will be in night vision, and as a ghost appears on it, it will show as a colour.
Match the colour of the ghost to the chart that runs on the top on the screen to get it's value.

Example: The colour of this ghost is blue/purple. So the temp is -20 .. -10 Celcius


Advanced Radio
This one works like the normal radio, except you need to manually change channels between 4. The ghosts will only answer on some, either if it is nearby or you ask them to.

Advanced Tablet
Pressing LMB will open up a menu with questions. Select a question and it will drop on the ground.
If you ask the wrong question, the ghost will erase it and get angry, so be careful.
If you ask the right question, it will draw an appropriate picture.

Advanced Voodoo Doll
Press LMB to stick a needle into it. You only have 3 attempts to put it in the correct location, if all 3 wrong, the doll will burn. Each wrong stick angers the ghost and it can attack!
You can find a clue on the correct spot at the location.

The locations you can stick the needles after clicking LMB

Found on one of the walls on the location

I am still figuring out exactly what this one does, I will update as soon as I do


Advanced Ouiji Board
Use LMB to choose the correct name of the ghost. Explore the location with the UV Light to find the name. You have 3 tries before the board will break.

The name on the location

Showing choosing the name


Advanced Particle Counter
Use LMB to toggle the current radiation. You need to be near the ghost the catch the particles.
The correct answer will be the maximum value from all the radiations.

The count would be 500 - 1000 as 672 was the highest number of the 3

Crisis

This modifier will remove the original items and limit the amount you can purchase in your store.
This can be a great modifier to get more money and experience, but be careful with your spending.

Research (Finding The Ghost)

To catch the ghost, you must find the Type of Ghost, Its Age and Mood. Each hunt you will receive all the items needed to find these, you do not need to actually buy items for this.
The only reason to buy items is extra protection, automation or you used something accidentally or need an extra for the weakening process.

Ghost Type

To find the Ghost Type you need to find:

• Temperature - Thermometer
  
• EMF Level - EMF Sensor
  
• Footprints - UV Light
  
• Drawings - Notebook

Thermometer options are:

• -20 to -10 C or -4 to 14 F
  
  
• -5 to 5 C or 23 to 41 F
  
  
• 45 to 55 C or 113 to 131 F

Make sure to pay attention to the temps as it will show -0.9 and sometimes you can mistake that for -9.


EMF Sensor options are:

• 3 - Only the first 3 lights on top will light up
  
  
• 5 - All 5 lights on top will light up
  
  
• RED3 - All 5 lights on top plus the 3 RED lights at the bottom will light up

Footprint options are:

• Doesn't leave Traces - Usually gather the other 2 first and after time you can make this choice
  
• Bloodstains - You will see splatters on the ground
  
• Footprint - You will see a singular footprint on the ground
  

Notebook options are:

• Doodles - You will see the page filled with scribbles
  
  
• Skull - You will see a skull on the page
  
  
• Human - You will see a human figure
  

Ghost Age

To find the age you need to find:

• Particles - Particle Counter
  
• Ouija Movement - Ouija Board

Particle Counter options are:

Simply let the counter get to 100%

• 100 - 500
  
  
• 500 - 1000
  

Ouija Board options are:

• Doesn't interact - Usually gather the other 2 first and after time you can make this choice
  
• Moves from Side to Side - You will see the pointer slowly move from side to side
  
  
• Moves Randomly - You will see the pointer quickly moving around the board

Ghost Mood

To find the mood you need to find:

• Radio Sounds - Radio
  
• VooDoo Movement - VooDoo Doll

Radio options are:

• Crying - You will hear a child crying
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Growling - You will hear demon like growling

VooDoo Doll options are:

• Doesn't Interact -
  
• Throws a Doll - You will see the VooDoo Doll fly across the room or be in a different spot if you don't see it
  
• Raise VooDoo - You will see the VooDoo Doll raising up in the air repeatedly

For the Doesn't Interact options, there are a few things you can do. For the Ghost Type if you find the other 3 then you don't need the Footprints.
For the Ouija Board and VooDoo Doll I simply guess sometimes. I take my time wondering the building looking for toys and the mirror if they have spawned, or completing the extra mini-tasks in the van.
By the time I am finished if they haven't been touched I just assume the Doesn't Interact option.

You can also use certain phrases to talk to the ghost, be careful however as some can lead to consequences:

• Ghost can you talk
  
• Ghost give us a sign
  
• We are friendly
  
• I am friendly
  
• We will catch you
  
• I catch you
  
• Ghost tell about yourself
  
• Ghost show yourself
  
• Ghost take a voodoo doll
  
• Leave a note

Once you have found all your research, you can then go to the large device outside your van, input your information and start the device, the ghost will then Materialise.

Unique Behaviours

Each ghost has behaviours unique to themselves. These behaviours only manifest once the ghost has been manifested itself. Make sure to watch out for each one as most can hurt and kill you.

Weaken and Capture the Ghost

Now that the ghost has been Materialized, you can now weaken it. I will write down the process for Basic and Modifiers. If you have multiple modifiers active, the process is the same you just have to do them in order, as such:

• Basic - Simpy Materalise, Weaken then Capture the ghost
  
• Ectoplasm Modifier - Basic process + collect ectoplasm before capture to power Ghost Catcher
  
• Pentagram Modifier - Basic Process + Pentagram ritual before capture
  
• Sanity Modifier - Basic Process however protection items may not work at 0 sanity

If you have both the Ectoplasm and Pentagram Modifier activated, you must collect the ectoplasm before the pentagram ritual

Basic Weakening

Once you have materialized the ghost, a list will appear in the 'Weakening the Ghost' tab.

Example:

1. Materalise Ghost
   
2. Fire Salt
   
3. Turn on 5 Lights
   
4. Holy Water
   
5. Turn off all lights
   
6. Salt
   
7. Capture Ghost

Simply follow the list in order to weaken the ghost. For ones such as 'Turn on 5 lights'/'Turn off all lights' etc, you can do these while walking around while completing others.

So if you have turned on 5, then throw Fire Salt at the ghost when you see him, you will see the completion message come up after the fire salt one.

Wisps - Come back from the Dead

Wisps are a way for players to revive after death. You will need to collect a certain amount of these ghost lights to do so.
The amount of Wisps on a location are limited. So you cannot keep reviving.

An example:
Played solo on normal difficulty. Died and collected 5 Wisps and came back to life. Died again to find no more Wisps so the game ended.

If a player dies, revives and then manages to capture the ghost, a penalty is imposed. That player will only receive 50% of the reward, so still be careful!

Tips

This section will have a list of tips to remember about little things within the game.

• You must collect ectoplasm before doing the Ritual (if both active)
  
• Lights turned on by dead crew members do not count
  
• Taps turned on by dead crew members do not count (still checking)
  
• The ectoplasm detector will show 3 ! if there is no ectoplasm to collect on the map
  
• Use the video camera to see the green cloud around objects

Awesome, thanks dude!

[Schnipps]

@EverEnvious
So a false attack is when the ghost runs towards you but doesn't jump into your face.

Keep in mind this is different to a frightening attack, which is where it does scream in your face, but just slows you down.

I will add these descriptions to the guide!

[EverEnvious]

Hey man, your guide has been a massive help to me, especially the parts about Mood and Age behavior of ghosts, it makes me feel useful when IDing the ghost while dead. There's just one thing I'm confused about and I was wondering if you could elaborate. For Mood behaviors, Haunting ghosts are the only ones that can "false attack", what exactly is a false attack?

[Schnipps]

Thank You! Hopefully it helps.

[Queen Elissa]

Thanks for guide :D

[Schnipps]

Honestly, it can be so hit and miss with the ecto I have found. Some games it will work fine, and then others it just won't, it is such a pain.
You can join the Discord and ask on there, you might be able to get a good answer on there.
