❤ Gameplay Overview

The core gameplay loop involves exploring a procedurally-generated haunted tower, searching for hidden items, and capturing ghosts using a special ghost-busting weapon. Players must navigate through randomized levels, overcome increasingly challenging ghost encounters, and upgrade their equipment in order to reach the top of the tower and retrieve the elusive Mask of Okeem.

❤ Ghost Busting

Players wield a ghost-busting beam that they can use to lower a ghost's energy level. Once sufficiently weakened, players can then activate the beam's suction mode to capture the ghost and add it to their containment unit. Ghosts exhibit a variety of behaviors, from channeling energy to throwing projectiles, which requires players to dodge and weave to avoid taking damage. Reviewers consistently cite the visceral sensation of battling ghosts in VR as one of the game's strongest and most enjoyable elements.

❤ Exploration and Item Collection

Each floor of the haunted tower contains hidden objects, keys, and treasure chests for players to discover. These items provide valuable resources like coins that can be spent at the in-game store to purchase upgrades and new equipment. The procedural generation of the tower's layout ensures that each playthrough offers a fresh experience, as players must adapt their exploration strategies to the changing environment.

❤ Roguelike Progression

Upon dying, players lose all of the gear and items they had collected, but are able to retain the coins they had gathered. These coins can then be used to purchase permanent upgrades, such as more powerful ghost-busting equipment, at the in-game store before starting a new run. This risk-reward progression system encourages players to carefully manage their resources and make strategic decisions about how to spend their hard-earned coins.

❤ Locomotion Options

The game offers several different locomotion options to accommodate various player preferences and comfort levels, including free movement, teleportation, and other movement modes. This flexibility allows players to customize the experience to their individual needs, ensuring an optimal level of immersion and accessibility.
