Pros
+ You can remap the controls
+ There's a tutorial in the basement for players unfamiliar with how to play
+ Gameplay is 2D Phasmophobia. It's fun if you enjoy that game. It's actually a horror game despite the ghosts being sexy and relatively horny
+ H-scenes are animated with audio. There are only 2 positions per ghost and you can adjust the speed of the animation
+ There is a replay feature in your home base. You have to go left entering a long hallway. It contains all the ghosts you've captured. That being said, the game does a poor job of telling you about it and a Gallery accessible from the Main Menu or Ghostpedia would have been better
Cons
- To run you have to hold the run button while pressing a direction. It would be nice if there was an option to Toggle Running. e.g. Run mode is toggled on by pressing the run button and the direction button. When the direction button is no longer held, would cause you exit run mode
- Would be nice if the UI indicates the name of the tool displayed on the shelf. This was particularly annoying when learning about the tools in the basement tutorial.
- Can only remap controls from the Main menu. Can't remap controls while in-game, it would be nice if you could
- When viewing the computer Esc key doesn't exit the computer. instead it fully ends the investigation without asking you if you are sure you want to End Investigation
- Hunts last for too long. You're just hiding and waiting for what feels like 80% of the game, before you can get back to actually searching for the ghost. There's also no indicator that is a Hunt is over, aside from the lights turning back on. Sometimes, the lights don't turn back on and eventually you get a message that a new Hunt has begun while waiting for the first Hunt to be over
- Can't speed up text speed for most text boxes, no matter which buttons you press
- UI doesn't show you how much money you have when you're at home base. So when you're looking to unlock a new location, you don't know how much you'll have left if you spend money to unlock that location
- Some spelling and grammatical mistakes in the manual
- It's unclear how to find which room the ghost is in, and when you should attack a ghost (during Hunt mode or during non-Hunt mode) to seal them away. In my opinion the tutorial did a poor job explaining that
- You could find all the clues, be in the right room, and still the ghost won't appear. So you're stuck not knowing where the ghost is, you can't use the sealing item to attack them, and every two minutes a Hunt happens and you hide for another 5 minutes.
- You might have to find the ghost while it's in Hunt mode, but there's no way of knowing when they are relaxed. So sometimes you get lucky and you find them motionless, other times you get chased down and you're dead
- You can't loop a ghost. It's very easy to get cornered. You're not allowed to exit the house when a hunt is happening. You can't hide when you're spotted.
Conclusion
This game is pretty fun and has the potential to be a very good game if the gameplay issues were fixed. At the moment the only way to capture a ghost is during a Hunt and the only time you can use the appropriate weapon to harm them is when they are idle and during a Hunt. This is literally a shot in the dark, which can easily end in your death. If you run, hiding is not option because you're already spotted, so hiding doesn't work. You can't exit the house during the Hunt. You can't loop the ghost because it's 2D, so there's a lot of dead ends. A lot of times, you get cornered and you die
