Dec. 2024

It's not scary, but it's a very good game to pass the time. Now I'm addressing the Razrabotchiks, if you can add other places to the game and add a lot of ghosts and be scared.

July 2024

Originally, this game was a big downvote for me. As someone who still regularly plays Phasmophobia with no sanity, no evidence, and no flashlight this game felt very shallow on release. I bring this up because that means I play Phasmo without gear, making it even more shallow of a game. Lately, I've been returning to older "ghost hunting games" I hadn't played in a few years and originally didn't think this game had improved much. However, once I looked in to it more and turned on "advanced items" I was pleasantly surprised. TL:DR this game has improved, give it another try Advanced Items Modifier; 1) No longer do you just throw the ouija board or voodoo doll in and wait for reaction; the ouija board requires a name which much be found with UV, and the voodoo doll requires you to push a pin in after finding which is the right one in a drawing on the wall. 2) The emf, radio, and particle counter all have different channels now that you scroll between. While you technically could sit and wait at the door, it'll be a long time slowly waiting through channels on the hope the ghost will walk close enough. 3) The thermometer is definitely improved compared to a lot of other games, but ultimately has you just looking at the ghost and determining its color. While it is more fun than just wait for the temp to show up, something about the small bar at the top kind of bothers me, as it just stays at a 0 mark. Functionally, it does its job though just fine. 4) The notebook is kind of a weak point, perhaps I'm missing something but you just kind ask 1 of 3 questions and figure out which is the right one so the ghost will write. This could definitely benefit from some voice recognition software like most other games to ask questions. *Voice could definitely use an overhaul, as I love using in game proximity voice personally and there is currently only global voice. Collection of Ectoplasm; this modifier made it so you need to find 3 ectoplasm globs through the match: 2 in the house, 1 off of the ghost (which it defends). I found this to be an interesting new step in the banishing as there are 3 potential methods to see the ectoplasm- Holy Fire, UV, or Video Camera. This added another engaging layer and I liked it, however you can simply wait until the ghost is in its most weakened state to do this, so it can be made simple. Sanity; I feel like this modifier is not fully fleshed out yet as the description just states that when your sanity is 0 protection may not work. Is there anything else with this? Does the ghost have different attributes between 100-0? The Pentagram; Seems cool but theory but needs work. Items are randomly scattered around the house you need to collect for the ritual, when you're at the step in the banishment you must throw a dagger in the middle which traps the ghost, put the items on the corresponding spots when the ghost tells you to and don't get hit by an attack. The aim of throwing items does not line up with the middle of screen (awkward) and we didn't see anywhere that it tells you that you must collect all of the ectoplasm before this step, so we didn't realize that. Low/High Rank; Pretty basic, and another text error for consistency. In modifiers low says rank 1 and 2 ghosts, but if you look in "how to play" it says high rank is rank 2 and 3 ghosts. I suspect it's just an update inconsistency as I think tier 4 is new. I have not played Run Or Die or Battle Royale (pvpve who gets the ghost first) modifiers, but they seem like they could be fun. Ultimately, I am impressed with the games improvement and have been enjoying it quite a lot. I have been streaming it lately and would love to discuss thoughts with a developer if possible. Feel free to find me on twitch at HandsomeJesse or respond to this review with a way to contact you. As I stated I've noticed quite a few text consistence errors and would love to address them and help if I can :) If you read all this, thanks for your time!

a few updates ago i had to uninstall but they fixed everything, before it was not worth a play because of how much you have to spend vs. how much you win. but like i said they fixed it 9/10! i have played other games like such but this game is so much better!

March 2024

It's rare for me to leave a review, but this game blew my expectations out of the water SO thoroughly, I felt it deserved one. Picking up Ghost Watchers, your first thought is likely, as mine was, "Ah, another Phas clone, well maybe it'll be fun, most of them do something a little differently enough to make it fun in a different way." I stream Phas, and I've put so many hours into it that I'm usually open to trying any of the similar games to scratch that itch while I wait for the next big update. This game as it turns out, is SO much more than a Phas clone though. I didn't expect it going in, but this has very quickly become my favourite ghost hunting game by a very large margin. So, like Phas you collect evidence to figure out a ghost type, using various tools. However unlike Phas there are quite a lot more evidence types to gather, the UV is a HELL of a lot less annoying that anything I have played prior, and you aren't JUST looking for the ghost type, but it's age and mood as well. This is however just the first part, as the next part is to ghostbuster's that undead sucker into a ghost pokeball to be stored at your base where it can no longer hurt anyone. This part is reminiscent of Demonologist, but in my opinion is much more engaging as you have a list of things you have to do, and they have to be done in order to weaken the ghost enough to catch it. On top of this already solid gameplay, Ghost Watchers has a list of modifiers you can apply to the gameplay to change how it works and add to your final score. There's an optional sanity system, that will be familiar to Phas players that can be turned on, there is a ritual you can add to the game as a final step before capturing the ghost (I'm very bad at this one). There is a competitive battle royal mode where your gear is scattered about and players are competing to work out the ghost type and catch it. There is an advanced tools modifier that gives you more complicated versions of the base tools to work with (this is my favourite), and finally there is a mode that limits the game to giving you higher level ghosts (Oh yeah, instead of unlocking gear as you level, you unlock progressively interesting ghost types.). I've sunk 19 hours into this in the past couple days, and streamed it twice, and I have seldom been more excited to see what a dev is going to add to a game next. I'm extremely glad that I picked this up (and within the hour picked up a second copy to send to my best friend) and I truly cannot recommend it strongly enough. This game is fantastic.

Dec. 2023

Great game. A lot of people compare it to phasmo, but this game takes it a step further, making you catch the ghost after you correctly identify it, and it's so much better. I'm Loving each update. I can't wait to see what comes next.
