✦ AI summary

Ghostist is a cute 2D ghost-hunting game designed as a lighter, more relaxed alternative to Phasmophobia, offering quick matches focused on investigation and exorcism without intense scares. Players appreciate the accessible difficulty, charming pixel art style, and generous evidence rewards, though some note the lack of multiplayer limits replayability and that matches are quite short. Most recommend it as a casual pickup for occasional play rather than a game demanding long-term commitment.

I came across this game from a streamer named Insym. This is a super cute 2D version of Phasmophobia, and it is great for those who are too spooked by Phasmophobia but want to play a game that is not as spooky as Phasmo, but doing the same investigation period, and there is exorcising in this game as well. I really like that I can play it and not get too spooked, just a little bit which is perfect because I don't like very scary games. It's great if you are looking for a relaxed & not complicated horror game and loves to do investigations. I do hope the developer will add more stuff in here in the future, this game have potential for sure. Maybe a story mode would be awesome.

In short, it's a great little ghost hunting game. Think of it as Phasmophobia Lite. It's not a game you'll be pouring dozens of hours into, but it's a fun game to play the occasional match or two. Matches rarely take over 5 minutes, as ghosts are very easy to find with the EMF reader and give evidence generously. Most evidence-gathering tools are consumable, however the game rewards you very well for successful completions. You're never at a risk of losing dozens of games worth of progress from a single death It's much easier compared to other ghost-hunting games. Most ghosts are completely passive, making it VERY hard to die. The only ways you will find yourself dying are: A) running into the rare aggressive ghosts, or B) mucking up the exorcism. There isn't much of a progression system. The only progression is making your house (the hub between missions) larger, and that is all. There's a surprising amount of maps, but as a single-player only game, I cannot recommend the large maps. I definitely recommend sticking to the small/medium maps instead. To conclude, I definitely recommend it either for fans of preexisting ghost hunting games, or people who find 3-D ghos…

Undertale's own listing calls it the RPG where you don't have to destroy anyone. Games like Undertale that keep that idea: permanent choices, fights you can talk past, worlds that notice.

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
