You play as Ronan O’Connor, a detective killed while pursuing a serial killer. Trapped as a ghost in Salem, he must uncover the truth about his own murder to move on.
Explore the town and its locations, gather clues, and draw conclusions in crime investigations. Your ghostly abilities let you pass through walls, possess living people to learn or influence things, and uncover memories.
Along the way, meet other spirits and take on their unfinished business, find collectibles that reveal more about Salem and its residents, and evade hostile demons that threaten your soul.
Players who enjoy the game often point to its personal murder-mystery premise, the supernatural detective story, and Salem’s moody atmosphere. Ghost abilities and the chance to explore spirits’ stories also stand out. Some reviewers find the investigations and overall gameplay simple or repetitive, and several say demon encounters and the volume of collectibles interrupt the experience.
