You are a paranormal investigator taking contracts at haunted locations, alone or with a team of up to six. Explore each site, observe the entity’s behavior, gather evidence, and complete the contract’s objectives.
In Identify mode, use investigation equipment and evidence to determine the entity’s type. Cleanse contracts add a second task: enter evidence into the Spectral Affixer, scan for the artifacts binding the entity to the location, and destroy them.
Coordinate with teammates using proximity voice chat and shared equipment; fallen players can communicate through the spirit box. Contracts earn money for character, vehicle, and headquarters customization, while upgrading to a larger vehicle lets you bring more items.
Players who enjoy the game often praise Cleanse mode for extending investigations beyond identifying an entity, and describe the locations, ghost behavior, and scares as atmospheric and unsettling. Co-op play, the multifunctional phone, and options to customize characters and headquarters are also recurring highlights. Some reviewers, however, say they want more gameplay and event variety.
The Other Side is a 1-6 player cooperative paranormal investigation game. Players work together to identify and cleanse entities using a range of equipment, and environmental tools. Gather evidence, track ghost behavior, and complete objectives across different locations using both traditional, and modernized tools.
Players can customize their characters and unlock items to personalize their headquarters. Built in Unreal Engine 5, the game focuses on modern, functional investigation systems and detailed environments.
Play solo, or with up to five other players as you investigate haunted locations. Work together to identify and cleanse entities by gathering evidence and completing objectives.
In-Game Voice Chat:
Communicate with your team using proximity-based voice chat. Share information, coordinate movement, and respond to events in real time. Players can even communicate with their fallen friends by using the spirit box.
Shared Equipment:
Players can bring and use equipment during contracts, allowing teams to coordinate loadouts and approach each investigation strategically. Success depends on how effectively tools are used, and information is shared.
Progress through the game to unlock more customization options across your loadout, character, and headquarters. Earn money via contracts to spend on customization options for yourself, your vehicle, and headquarters. Upgrading to a larger vehicle increases the number of items you can bring into investigations.
Character Customization:
Customize your character with a range of apparel, hairstyles, and skin tones.
Headquarters Outfitting:
Unleash your creativity as you furnish and upgrade your base, sculpting its appearance to reflect your success in completing contracts and tasks. Create an atmospheric hub that fellow ghost hunters envy.
Identify:
Determine the ghost type by gathering evidence, and observing behavior. Use investigation tools to track activity, collect date, and correctly identify the ghost haunting the location.
Cleanse:
Now that the Identify Team has done their job, it's time for you to do yours. Work as a team to cleanse the location of the ghost haunting it. Use your ghost-hunting tools to identify the ghost's characteristics, and input them into the Spectral Affixer, revealing the location of the artifacts binding the ghost to the location. Find the artifacts and destroy them to banish the ghost from the location.
Investigate a range of locations, each with distinct layouts, environmental details, and each with their own gameplay challenges. Every location is designed to support evidence gathering, ghost tracking, and contract objectives.
