About the Game

Ever since you were a child you had an innate ability to sense the presence of the paranormal. These specters that haunt the world are identified and exorcised by those of the religious occult as a means of protecting the world from the supernatural. As an adult now, you have joined the organization and now travel the world to different locations identifying and exorcising these beings.

Specters is a psychological horror that focuses on paying attention to your surroundings, making quick decisions, and knowing when to not be a risk-taker. Utilize ghost detection hardware, the sounds you hear, and what you see to help determine what you are dealing with.

Once you or your team have identified the Specter you are dealing with, prepare the scene for an exorcism by trapping the paranormal and exorcising it.
