Spirit Hunter: NG

About Spirit Hunter: NG

Spirit Hunter: NG is the companion story to Spirit Hunter: Death Mark, made by EXPERIENCE with Ghostlight and released on Steam by Aksys Games in October 2019, and also on PlayStation and Nintendo Switch. It can be played without the first game.

You play a young delinquent who is forced into a life-or-death game with a cursed spirit while he searches for his missing little sister. To find her he teams up with shady characters and follows urban legends that have turned real across the city's back alleys, streets and parks, and even into his own home.

As in Death Mark, most of the game is reading and searching. You sweep dark places with a flashlight for clues, piece together each legend, and make decisions in conversation and in confrontations with spirits. The store page says your choices decide your fate and affect the lives of everyone around you.

The painted art by Fumiya Sumio shows night streets, a woman with a pram at a dark pond and bloodied victims in the beam of a flashlight, and the store page warns of blood and gore and sexual themes. It suits players who enjoyed Death Mark or want Japanese ghost stories told through reading and dread.

How to play Spirit Hunter: NG

1. Buy it on Steam, Switch or PlayStation and start a new game.
2. Read the story and learn each urban legend as it appears.
3. Search each location with your flashlight for clues.
4. Make choices in conversations and when spirits strike; they decide who survives.

Tips

• Search thoroughly before moving on; clues found early matter in confrontations.
