How it feels

You run a ghost-hunting business, balancing tactical turn-based battles with team management and base upgrades in a pixelated, retro-styled London.

What players say

Players largely enjoy the ghostbusters-meets-XCOM concept and the turn-based combat, but many say it gets repetitive and grindy after three to five hours, with limited ghost variety and a lack of depth in base management. Reviews are split on bugs and polish, with some calling the UI clunky and others praising recent updates through version 2.0.
