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!
