The objective of Ghost Hunters Corp is to exorcise the ghost haunting an area both by gathering evidence with professional ghost hunting equipment and by identifying ghost types based on their appearance and behavior. Identification is, arguably, the most important aspect of the game, because each ghost requires a different exorcism step.
Ghost Hunters Corp players should be ready and willing to view a ghost and its ghostly behavior without immediately turning and running. There is no way to hide and view the ghosts from safety without purposefully drawing them to attack your van. So, it is important to take note of the ghost’s appearance and behavior to identify it, as other pieces of evidence, like the entity analyzer, will not narrow down the type.
There are currently five types of ghosts that can appear in Ghost Hunters Corp, those being poltergeist, child, shadow, revenant, and demon. Because not every piece of evidence appears in every mission, identifying the ghost is the most important, and most frightening, part of the investigation. Each ghost’s specific appearance and behaviors are as follows:
- Poltergeist: These entities enjoy handling objects within the map but hate having those same objects touched. They can be found throwing items, turning lights on and off, locking doors, and hunting players that touch too many objects in their domain. Poltergeists are characterized as very aggressive ghosts but can be warded off with a crucifix.
- Child: These ghosts are fairly easy to identify because it is the only type that appears short in stature or child-like. They are affected by the Statue Mary.
- Shadow: These spirits appear as dark, person-shaped entities with only their faces visible. Because these ghosts dislike the light, they can also be found turning off lights and watching hunters from dim or shadowed areas. They can also be repelled with a crucifix.
- Revenant: These ghosts can be identified by their constant, uncomfortable crawling. All ghosts can crawl if they so choose, making these spirits harder to identify. Players should keep in mind, though, that revenants never stand and can be repelled with the Statue Mary.
- Demon: These entities are identifiable by their laughter that is able to be heard without the use of the spirit box. The laughter will either be high-pitched or low and guttural and will come from no particular direction. These ghosts are also aggressive and will attack players often. They can be warded off with a crucifix.
What to Do After Identifying A Ghost in Ghost Hunters Corp
Once the Ghost Hunters Corp ghost is identified in Ghostpedia (found on the in-game tablet), players will know what exorcism step needs to be taken. All other exorcism steps can be discovered by gathering other evidence with the ghost hunting equipment. The amount of other evidence needed depends on what level of difficulty has been chosen. When all these pieces are put together, players will have all the information they need to defeat the ghost.
Despite there only being five ghost types in Ghost Hunters Corp, it can be difficult to differentiate one ghost from another. Keeping an eye on the ghost's appearance and behavior in order to identify it is paramount in performing an exorcism on the spirit.
