About Incubus - A ghost-hunters tale
Are ghosts real?
You are on your first solo ghost hunting case, under the watchful instructions of Bear and Jen from the O.P.G paranormal team. Use real gadgets in a real location, a house investigated by the game developers several times, on the request of three different owners. It is a case worthy of a video game, so welcome to Incubus.
Uncover the reason as to why this house is always empty. Is it cursed? Many have come and gone from the house, citing malevolent forces play within the empty rooms, a sinister hunched figure has been seen in the corner of the eye and the place is a hotspot for paranormal activity. Will you survive the night?
What makes a haunted house? It's no Dracula's Castle to look at, but neither is the house made famous by the Enfield Poltergeist or the scary monk that haunts the seemingly innocent looking 30 East Drive. Keep an open mind, investigate the house, and see and hear what ghosts may linger at 6 Dread Pit Road, in London's 'East End'.
To solve the mystery of 'House 6' you must keep your eyes and ears open, and learn how to use ghost-hunting gadgets to pinpoint activity. There have been many tenants who have lived in 'House 6', none stayed very long and few have anything good to say. Quite the opposite, for over the years 'House 6' has accumulated a lot of eye witness statements and terrified testimonials. Here are a few:
"Coming home, I could hear someone upstairs, an obvious intruder! I snuck next door and phoned the police, who arrived within the hour. By now lights had come on upstairs, as the burglars searched the place. The police had a look around, but found no-one. How's that possible?!!" K. Taylor, 2020
"I awoke in the night, unable to move. Someone was pinning me to the bed. It was dark, but there was a figure, on top of me, like a nightmare. I tried to scream, but nothing came out, just weird! It lasted for about 5 minutes!! I felt the weight on my chest. Then nothing. It was morning, but I know it wasn't a dream." E.Horton, 2007
"Yeah, that house!! I was supposed to decorate the place. Good money, should have been easy. But power issues, accidents, and Kenny falling off the ladder, none of that can be explained. It just isn't worth it. It's got something wrong with it. Bad energies." Chris, 2004
"No, it hasn't sold, but we are keen to make a sale soon. We've heard all the stories, urban legends, and the spooky stuff. It's all nonsense, and here at Hoxton's we don't hire ghost-hunters to help sell a house, and if we did, we certainly wouldn't talk about it." Hoxton's Real Estate Agent 2022
"It needs pulling down. There's something evil inside that house." Barry, 2022
"I saw it! The figure at the window. It was ages ago, but I definitely saw it. Nasty eyes, they seem to catch the light, piercing horrible eyes, staring back at me. Some of us locals say it's the Devil. I've never passed that house since that day. People should stay away." Gary, 1998
"We all witnessed the 'thing'. Hunched, hairy, snarling. It wasn't a person, no way, it moved too quick, and it stank, like wet dog. A dead wet dog! No, there was nothing human about it. We all saw it, and then it disappeared. We didn't wait to see if it came back." Sarah, 1987

✦ AI summary
Players appreciate the paranormal investigation concept and atmosphere, with some enjoying the authentic equipment and spooky setting, but the game is severely hampered by frequent crashes, repetitive gameplay limited to a single location, and excessive glitches that force replays of entire sections. Common complaints include confusing instructions, intrusive teammate chatter, poor autosave functionality, and a rushed feel overall, with some players reporting critical errors that prevent progression entirely and concerns about developer support.
I've really enjoyed the other ghost hunting games from this developer but this one was such a disappointment. The game play is repetitive and glitchy, and the subtitles are riddled with typos. It feels rushed and lacks any real appeal. I got this heavily discounted otherwise I would have just refunded it, to be honest. I really wish the dev would pick up his other seemingly abandoned projects like Blackenrock. I hope to see more like the original Lost Crown game or Dark Fall.4 found this helpful
I will not give this game a comprehensive review for 2 reasons: There is a critical error which prevents playing the game, and the devs have ghosted buyers & vanished.
A long time ago, I used to do paranormal investigations and ghost hunts with a couple of local groups. I had loads of fun doing it, and I miss doing it. This game is the next best thing to it. Get to use different equipment that real paranormal investigators use, and receive instructions on which rooms to explore. I wish the game allowed you to report more than three occurrences at a time, as there were times when the house would seem to "come alive" with activity in every room, and in some cases, multiple types of activity at the same time. It kind of goes off the rails near the end, but it's a nice twist.
Far too glitchy, confusing instructions, and a bit limited in gameplay. I love the idea and the game itself looked great, the nighttime especially was really spooky and affective but the singular location got a bit old, and it was just not enjoyable to physically play at ALL. It crashed so many times, I had to replay the second day daytime baseline four times, then crashed after my night investigation and went BACK to the second day baseline and I just couldn't play it again. The constant chatter from the other team members was irritating, and ISTG you do not have to have the "shaky VHS tape" effect on EVERY CALL. I really wanted to like this but sadly it was unplayable for me, and I was just annoyed the last time and uninstalled it. I don't think the autosave works, but at this point, I'm just done.
Spooky and fun
I like their games, but this is a bit glitchy and blippy. The game just dumped n shutdown between days 5 and 6 , just as it was getting interesting. I started again, same issue. I started yet again and finally it came good. It's a neat little game, with some interesting features, and the random elements mean that game play varies wildly (some play throughs will be boring as heck, while others feel more dynamic and exciting). I could have done without the detour through the sands of war-time Egypt, which spoils the reality feel of the game. It suffers from the same issue as their other ghost hunter game: Your fellow ghost hunters will not stop bleedin' interrupting you, then they are suddenly gone. EDIT: Can recommend, but only for lovers of their other games. ("Lost souls", "Lost crown", the "Dark Fall" games).
