About the Game

Enter a place where the dead refuse to rest. In Banished Souls, you take the role of a paranormal investigator tasked with uncovering the truth behind the haunting. Explore the chilling paranormal locations.

Your mission: find the Room of Death, gather clues to reveal the three sinister symbols that uncover the ghost’s true nature. Once you’ve identified the ghost type, deploy your containment cube to trap the ghost and banish the entity from our world.

But beware—the longer you stay, the more the ghost stalks you. Every decision is a risk, and every second counts.

Will you uncover the truth, or join the lost souls you came to banish?
