Massive ghost nerd here, this was right up my street!
Art style is nice and consistent, the game feels mechanically solid and you've really captured the feel of investigating a ghost. The journal entries for 42 types of ghost is a wonderful touch, and great for nerds like me to dive into.
If I had one big criticism, it's that the tutorial is a lot to remember. It moves very quickly and there's a lot of different things to take in very quickly. When I got to the final tutorial room, I was sort of fumbling around with buttons, the hint text kept appearing constantly and I felt like I was bumbling around a bit. That's likely just me though, I'm a bit of an idiot lol. Once you figure everything out, you really begin to enjoy the hunting part.
Otherwise, really really cool ghost game here. Much more focus on the investigation side rather than just 'spooky walking simulator with jumpscares' which can feel a bit lazy in my opinion.
Some of my favourite bands over the years have been Finnish, why can't my favourite game be Finnish too?
It's nice to hear you liked it. I totally understand criticism about the tutorial. I have played it so many times, so it's hard to see it with a fresh perspective. I'll consider how to improve it in the future.
