Content notice: Ghost Hunter Simulator tells the stories of many ghosts. In order to tell these stories, we will often discuss how the person died in order to leave a ghost behind. Sometimes these topics can be intense and can include descriptions of murder, violent accidents, drug/alcohol abuse, and self-harm. In addition, we also describe some of the less-than-pleasant living conditions that these people existed in before they became ghosts, such as familial abuse, mistreatment due to social stigmas, and people generally being unpleasant to their fellow human beings. All of the Mature Content that is present in Ghost Hunter Simulator is presented as textual backstory and none of these scenarios are ever depicted on screen.

Are Ghosts Real?
Have you ever wanted to explore spooky locations and hunt for ghosts?
In Ghost Hunter Simulator, the player takes on the role of an aspiring ghost hunter with the goal of building their social media empire - as the true believer who finally found proof or the skeptic who exposes all those other charlatans.
Ghost Hunter Simulator is not a horror game, but rather “Cozy Spooky.” Think Haunted Mansion, not Haunting of Hill House. There are times where the game gets spooky, but there are no jump scares, no gore, and no immediate danger to the player.
Players will spend much of their time exploring allegedly haunted locations and gathering evidence of the paranormal, as well as learning the lore and history of the location. Ghost Hunter Simulator uses a first-person view and focuses on using real world ghost hunting tools to collect evidence - either that full-body apparition photo that proves to the world, once and for all, that ghosts or real, or a video clip debunking the local ghost story by showing that the curtains only move because there's an air vent across the room that kicks on.
Once the Ghost Hunter has gathered their evidence, the next step is to tell everyone. Using a simple grid-based puzzle mini-game, the player will sort and tag their evidence (e.g. "spooky", or "funny", or "EVP", or even "prank") to post on various in-game social sites - like BooTube or Deaddit. Follow the trends and your audience to earn fame and fortune - which coincidentally allows you to ghost hunt at more famous locations with cooler equipment!
The locations visited in Ghost Hunter Simulator range from real world locations you COULD go investigate if you had the proper equipment and travel arrangements to fictional locations from our favorite spooky media. Explore in safety, from the comfort of your own home, and find evidence (or lack thereof) of ghosts!
Ghost Hunter Simulator is currently in development by Ryan and Kim Steiner, two former AAA developers, along with support from Matt Fossen, Ross Sigworth, and John Barnes. Ghost Hunter Simulator will be updated at regular intervals - not only for bug fixing, balancing, expanding systems, and such, but also adding in new levels and places to explore.
Features:
Ghost Hunter Simulator is a simulation game that puts you in the role of a modern-day ghost hunter.
First-person perspective exploration of allegedly haunted locations - both historical and fictional.
Use real-world ghost hunting equipment to gather evidence of hauntings - or to debunk them!
Geometric puzzle gameplay allows the player to combine the evidence they have gathered into social media submissions.
Organize and manage your social media empire by gaining fame, earning money, and growing your operation until YOU are the ultimate authority on all things spooky!
Ghost Hunter Simulator is NOT a horror game. There are no jump scares and no imminent danger.
Early Access includes 8 Levels. We expect to have a total of 16 levels available with the release of version 1.0.
***Absolutely no GenAI used in the development of Ghost Hunter Simulator***

Patch 0.2.0 - Base Tool Milestone!
This update is a pretty exciting milestone for us! We now have at least one tool that is able to capture each type of evidence that is supported by the MediumMixer. This allows the player to capture evidence as a Photograph, Video Clip, Audio Clip, EMF Reading, or Temperature Reading. We've also got some tools that don't directly capture evidence, but will help you explore the locations and perhaps even interact with any ghoulies present at that location including a Head Lamp, Sage, and the mysterious Black Candle. We will continue to add more tools as we update, but at least now the base options are all covered! Patch Notes for 0.2.0:Base Tools Milestone (at least one tool for each type of evidence gathering works)Introductory Quests for Mystery Hack, Lizzy Norton, and Theater levels in placeReport A Bug menu option added for in-game bug reporting / suggestionsRespawn Player menu option added in case anyone ever gets stuck or falls out-of-worldInventory Screen revampStore layout improvementsBreaker Boxes now capable of turning the power back onClarified Tool Pickup / Turn On distinction for tools that are used when placed on the groundMore improvements to the CreditsClues to the safe combination in Newhamburger addedI also noticed that while I was doing this update, it looks like I never actually uploaded patch notes for v0.1.7 (which was the patch that was released before this one). So, if you haven't checked out the game in a while, you'll also notice these changes from 0.1.7:Store Tools CategorizedAdded new character portraitsUpdated Journal to show first character when openedChanged emails to use NPC enum to find portraitsImported new footsteps (not implemented)I realized that our Ghosts had bones in them - which just ain't right...

Patch Notes: v0.1.5
Patch Notes for v0.1.5:Ambience Mode added - Enjoy a Winter Holiday Fireplace with some spirited friends!Improved Room Volumes for Bubba Mackrel's Dive BarStarting to spice up the CreditsMinor bug fixes and tweaksThe big update for v0.1.5 is the introduction of Ambience Mode! Feeling the holiday spirit and want to enjoy a slightly haunted fireplace? Ghost Hunter Simulator has you covered with the new Ambience Mode. No gameplay, no pressure, no screen burn-in, just sit back and enjoy a bit of the holiday season with a virtual fireplace that will never burn out. I used to love when games would give you the option to listen to the soundtrack from the options menu. I discovered one of my favorite bands of all time thanks to a rented PlayStation game that featured their songs in the soundtrack. Now, in Ghost Hunter Simulator, you can sit back and enjoy our soundtrack while watching a virtual fireplace - or turn off the music and just listen to the crackle of the fire as it burns perpetually.Read full article on Community Announcements (prime8entertainmentllc)
