Soul Hunter Announced For PC With Four-Player Co-Op And Camera-Based Exorcism
CGI LAB GAMES, a Moldova-based indie that has handled development, publishing and porting for PC and console titles, is building its co-op horror around information the player cannot verify alone, since hallucinations are invisible to the person experiencing them.

CGI LAB GAMES announced Soul Hunter on October 2. The psychological horror game supports up to four-player co-op and releases on PC via Steam this fall, with Japanese in-game text planned according to its store page. Players join a young paranormal investigation team, searching abandoned schools, mansions, temples, underground hospitals and graveyards. Three film types serve the camera, and relics tied to spirits must be burned to complete an exorcism before the spirit corners the team.
Soul Hunter casts up to four players as a young paranormal investigation team hunting yokai through abandoned schools, isolated mansions, forgotten temples, underground hospitals and graveyards. The camera does the work: Normal Film uncovers clues, Purification Film deals damage to hostile spirits, and Spirit Film reveals relics that are otherwise invisible. Relics are not decoration. Teams must locate them, investigate the background of the curse, prepare a ritual and burn the relics to complete the exorcism before sanity runs out and the spirit closes in.
