I am tasked with exploring an old crypt. It has been filled with earth for over a century, yet people can still hear noises coming from the entrance in the dead of night. Also, there have been people vanishing in the area recently. As an experienced paranormal researcher, it is my job to deal with whatever spirits haunt this place. I need to remove the dirt and find a way down to the lower levels using my equipment to defeat all spirits that appear. I should tread with caution because I fear that my next move might be my last.
Apart from the EVP listener which is always on I have to drag my tools onto the board to use them. They will activate once a spirit is close and can't be placed between me and a spirit. Also, these tools aren't cheap and I will have to pay upfront, but I get reimbursed for each defeated spirit. I can sell them, but I will only get the full price back (without upgrades) if they are not used. I'll sell all used tools automatically for half their price before descending to the next floor.
These are the spirits I have encountered so far.
