Our base gameplay is taking shape!
Hi Steam community! Best wishes for the New Year!
We have been hard at work, prototyping our core gameloop and experimenting with player animation to get a sense of how it feels to shift from ghost exploration to combat with the medium’s body.
A smooth and exciting gamefeel is our top priority, so this is the first aspect we’ve been focusing on in our pre-production.
Here are clips of some features we’ve been testing so far. Keep in mind that these are placeholder environments, and low quality GIFs!

What's next?
Throughout January, we will block out a new test room with these features, to playtest our core game loop in a proper level design puzzle. Then, we will take part in two in-person events in Lyon (France) to see how players enjoy it!
We are very excited to start sharing our work, and, ngl, we had a lot of fun introducing the vacuum cleaner 😆
