Ghost Scout

About this game

First find the Anchor object and figure out a way to see the ghosts true form with it!

Old film cameras, security systems, toy water pistols, flashlights, etc.
The Anchor could be anything.



Without the Anchor you are completely blind to the ghosts whereabouts...

Stay alert for paranormal activity to avoid getting killed by an invisible threat!



When the ghosts true form is revealed, run to the exit and report your findings to the Phantom Wranglers.

Features:

• Many different Anchors
  
• A variety of ghost forms
  
• Increasingly dangerous contracts
  
• Strange supernatural events and dangers
  
• Endless Mode
  
• Discover Evidence

  Important Update: Ghost Scout Development & Future Plans

  Hi everyone, I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about the future of Ghost Scout, as well as my own path as a developer and artist. After much consideration, I’ve made the difficult decision to put development of the game on indefinite hiatus. I want to be clear: I’m not stepping away from game development. However, I’ve realized I need to pivot toward a project I am more passionate about. I’ve loved developing Ghost Scout, but at some point, I lost sight of why I wanted to become a developer in the first place, and I need to fix that. I’m taking some time to step back and plan my next move, but I don't want the work I've done so far to go to waste. The Ghost Scout demo will stay live and playable. Your support has meant a lot to me throughout this process. I’m not sure what’s next just yet, but I’m excited to follow this new direction and I can't wait to share what I work on next. Best, Leandro Laenen

  Development Update

  I'd like to share a quick development update along with some of the significant improvements made to the demo! Development update Since the announcement a significant part of my time has been spent on social media, marketing, community etc... But I have still made some progress on the full game! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45958805/db95f50c7a3259546b08bdb746be202883323a6a.png Finished 2 very different new Anchor types. Added Endless Mode Improved the garage environment Demo improvements Here's a quick overview of the biggest improvements made to the demo since its release. Fixed an issue where the main menu would not be visible for people on certain hardware. I tested the game on 7 different devices without issue so I was surprised hear multiple people had this bug. Luckily once I was aware of the issue I was able to quickly fix it. Most noteable changes Added accessibility option for motion sickness Added accessibility option for post processing effects visual comfort The objective is now visible from different floors with an arrow indicating it is above/below Small tutorial improvements A reminder system as to how the film camera Anchor works Many balancing improvements Bug fixes What's next I will keep expanding the full game and improving the demo! On that note, please reach out if you have any issues or feedback, I'm always looking for ways to improve the game :) Have a great day!
