Three years already!

17 Jul

Hello everyone, long time no see!

We first wanted to thank those who wished Ghost Exorcism Inc. a happy birthday, and yes, 3 years already since the release! A lot of developments in three years, lots of laughter and jumpscares, and it would never have happened without you and your support!

We're going to answer the most asked questions in recent months, with little sneak peaks of upcoming updates ;)

Is the game still being developed?

Yes! The game is still under development. We have always been a very small team, but that does not stop us from moving forward.
The game being at an advanced stage in terms of entities, evidence, maps and type of contracts, we continue to work on the so-called "comfort" features. But also on one last map, because we can't help it...

When will there be an official release?

This year! If all goes well, the game will be officially released at the end of 2024. Our efforts on the network, various optimizations and the game engine in general have reached a stage that allows us to release the game. The price will not change, the discounts will continue as they always have (long live halloween!) and we hope to be able to launch some challenges and continue small updates here and there in the future, after the release.

Where to find games online?

We have a small and passionate community, but that can mean it's more difficult for players to find public lobbies with players. If you're struggling to find random players to play with, we urge you to create a public lobby for yourself, so that you can allow others searching for games to join you. There is also a Discord community available here: https://discord.gg/ghost-exorcism-inc-845591054635761704 and several players in the Steam community, sharing game codes and tips!

Why not rescues with several entities?

You're right. Why not? Oh, I'm being told in the headset that it's currently being tested and will soon be in beta! Several of you (especially veterans) have asked for it. Rest assured it will be a done deal! Just like a classic multi-entity contract, the "short" mode will offer two entities and the "long" three entities in one contract. The equipment scattered on the ground, as well as the number of employees knocked out (in need of rescue) will be increased.

So, what's new between now and the release?

- Some graphics optimizations
- New colors for our friend the Wisp (he complained of always being the same...)
- New map
- QoL improvements (in the options, in the display of certain information, etc.)
- New Multi-Entity Rescue game mode

See you soon! Oh, and exorcists... don't forget your Mary and crucifix!

[Beta] Spectator Mode & New Entity - 12/12/2023

12 Dec, 2023

Hello Exorcists!
Back with a new public-test version before the end of 2023! Below you will find a summary of this update, but first..

-- New Entity
Since the offices of Ghost Exorcism Inc. have been able to analyze paranormal fires, several discoveries have been made, such as notebooks of writing and drawing spontaneously combusting, as well as smoking crucifixes or statues of Mary. The latest report from our agents indicates the presence of a new entity, named the Wisp.
Its appearance and behavior have been deemed appropriate for beginner exorcists, but be careful! It can be somewhat irritable, especially when exorcists interfere with lights.

-- Spectator Mode
With the goal of offering new tools to players and content creators, a "Spectator" mode has been added.
Only the host of a multiplayer game can be a spectator, and thus follow the players during their missions, invisible to them. Spectators are unable to interact with objects or tools. They can simply spectate. Spectators are able to walk through doors.

NEW GHOST TYPE: Wisp - This entity seems to appear when its soul has been ignored for too long, preventing it from reaching the beyond. It prefers to stay in the light, fearing that the darkness of its past deeds will overtake it.
SPECTATOR MODE! Only the host can be spectator. To activate spectator mode, open the player Profile screen in the tablet (click on the avatar in the corner), and select "Spectator Mode". This can only be toggled while at the Hub.
We've updated the appearance of the "entity hands" for the Shadow (the hands that appear on-screen when the entity has grabbed you).

We have fixed a problem which caused the Hub board to not correctly switch to a new contract, if a new contract was selected before hitting the "back to main" button.

Hotfix - 11/16/2023

13 Nov, 2023

Hello Exorcists!
Here is a small hotfix mainly concerning multiplayer; it will be released to the main branch very soon!

We have added a new "refresh" button next to the microphone selection in the Voice Options. This, along with other corrections we've made, should help players who are having problems getting their microphone to work in the game.

In Japan, there should no longer be a 'totem' or 'cursed object' beneath the central temple, which is unobtainable.
We have made a correction that should prevent multiplayer lobbies from becoming duplicated or bugged.

[Public] Halloween Update - 10/23/2023

23 Oct, 2023

Hello Exorcists!

Halloween is almost here! This much-loved time is an opportunity for horror games to show what they're capable of!

Today, we are bringing both updates from the beta branch over to the main branch. This update includes a new map, a new game mode, three new possible evidences, new equipment, four new exorcism steps, Halloween-themed decorations in the hub, as well as various fixes and adjustments.

So here is the complete patch notes:

New Evidence: Notebook Fire - The Notebook can now catch fire when nearby some entities, and upon doing so will be evidence.
New Evidence: Smoke: Crucifix - The Crucifix can now begin smoking when nearby some entities, and upon doing so will be evidence.
New Evidence: Smoke: Mary Statue - The Mary Statue can now begin smoking when nearby some entities, and upon doing so will be evidence.
New Map: ITALY - Catacombe Obscura - For centuries, these catacombs initially served as burial grounds for non-cremated bodies. Over time, and with the cessation of this practice, they gradually transitioned into a pilgrimage site, eventually becoming a tourist attraction. Recently, unusual paranormal phenomena have occurred while tourists were visiting this historically rich location. We specialize in addressing such enigmatic occurrences. Let us restore the peace and sanctity of this historical space.
New Equipment: Glowsticks - Players can now buy a pack of glowsticks. Each package contains 4 glowsticks. The glowstick color can be changed with the "Alt Activate" key (usually 'Q' by default). These should come in handy when exploring the new underground labyrinth, or for marking important objects or locations.
Multi-Entity contracts can now have up to 3 entities! Quick Multi-Entity contracts will still have 2 entities, but Full Multi-Entity contracts will now have 3!
New Exorcism Step: You may be asked to break a Tiger Eye capsule on the Dread Origin. In addition to the usual effect, a small blue flame will indicate that the Dread Origin was successfully cleansed with the capsule.
New Exorcism Step: You may be asked to break a Salt capsule on the Dread Origin. In addition to the usual effect, a small blue flame will indicate that the Dread Origin was successfully cleansed with the capsule.
New Exorcism Step: You may be asked to break a Holy Water capsule on the Dread Origin. In addition to the usual effect, a small blue flame will indicate that the Dread Origin was successfully cleansed with the capsule.
New Exorcism Step: From now on, you may be asked to throw a Holy Water Capsule on a Burning Notebook. In addition to the usual effect, a charred appearance of the Notebook will indicate that you have successfully completed this step.
Exorcism Step Modification: An entity can now simultaneously have Writing/Drawing evidence in the Book AND on a Surface (one no longer prevents the other)!
Added an additional Holy Water / Tiger Eye / Salt capsule to the free equipment rack (depending on the contract type).
Added a "Halloween" decoration theme to the hub !

Changed map loading method to improve performance.

Devblog - 09/20/2023

20 Sep, 2023

Hello Exorcists!

We're checking in with some updates! Development is progressing well enough for us to share more details about the features coming in the next update.

Firstly, as many have guessed, the theme of the next map will be the "Catacombs"—a damp, stone labyrinth filled with bones of all kinds, where getting lost will be easy. We're excited for you to try out this new location!

Additionally, we're adding three new pieces of evidence to the Ghostpedia: Notebook Fire, Smoking Crucifix, and the Smoking Mary Statue. These are sure to spice up your contracts! More details on how these pieces of evidence work will be in upcoming announcements.

What was that last thing we wanted to add? Hmm...

Well, we've just been informed that a photograph has arrived at our headquarters, taken from within the very catacombs we're planning to work with. Can you see the two entities in this photo? Something seems off, doesn't it?

We'll investigate this and bring you more details in future updates and/or upcoming dev blogs. Stay vigilant!

Don't forget your Crucifixes and Statues of Mary.
