I'm a huge fan of Ghost Master and could be a great successor to that, but it needs A LOT of work. lame UI. Terrible AI. Repetitive NPCs, Lack of content. No way to save progress. That was the real deal breaker for me. Having to start over and lose progress on the same level every time when I need to quit the game for something is not fun. I know it EA and I hope these things get fixed. I'll check back later after …

Reminds me so much of Ghost master!!! The game needs a bit more work but the core mechanics are good so far.

I was a fan of Ghost master and here comes Ghost keeper. I am already in love, still it is more atmospheric, more violent, more variative, more sarcastic, more everything and it is only in the Early Access. Best wishes to the dev's and good luck making truly villainous game

Great game! It is really fun to play from tactical standpoint, becasue monsters have their unique abilities. Performance is phenomenal considering it is early access, I got solid capped 120fps on 4k, medium settings on rx 9070 xt with low temps on gpu and cpu. No bugs so far, art direction is perfect. You can pause the game anytime u want, so you will have plenty o time to set up traps or rethink your strategy. Well …

Ghost keeper is a reasonable game, standing on the shoulders of giants. It needs quite a bit more work in its current state, but could eventually match the greatness of Ghost master. I think hammering the technical side at this stage is not helpful, its Early Access so it is going to be unpolished and unbalanced. My main grumble is that it is far too easy to handle the ghost hunters and you have to handle them …

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Unfortunately, this does not capture the magic of the original Ghost Master. The game looks good and it's clearly made with some love, but everything feels too wooden. the NPCs will be scared by a ghost interaction and run into another room, then their behavior totally resets and they walk around like everything is normal until the next scary thing happens. There is no sense of rising tension in the places you're haunting, and the people you're scaring do not feel real enough for scaring them…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Ghost Master? No, not even close. That was a frenetic affair with spectral orchestra keeping the tone as tense as the environment you were maintaining, three or four ghosts on full automatic trying to ping-pong mortals between them to build belief in a hurry and keep the fear flowing while you worked on whatever puzzle element was required, like getting the evidence room guard to wander off so the bent cop can sneak in and steal while Blue Murder is watching. No, faster! The ghost council…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is a tiresome copy of Ghostmaster the campaign is ridiculously short and it turn very fast very boring do it like me and buy it a a steep discount if you must buy it at all.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Worthy of ''GHOST MASTER'' tittle. It has ticked all the boxes for me. Aside from UI tweaks and having to invert the ''Move'' & ''Rotate'' buttons for more player friendly control, The game has a SOLID start with great graphics and good player immersion. Worth the wait and expect more even if paid since the developers were so nice on price. For DEVS- Tittle screen is a bit bland and UI pop clicks are to loud even on Low.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Ghost Keeper is a tactical game where you control a team of ghosts and monsters and try to drive all mortals off the map — either by scaring them so badly that they flee on their own, or by simply killing them. Set in a beautiful, albeit static, Victorian environment, the game gives you control over a colorful cast of supernatural characters — from a mad dentist and a depressed poet to a lazy demonic cat, each with their own quirks and unique abilities. Personally, my favorite is the ghost…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Was really hoping for a new ghost master like experience. especially after the ai mess that was the remaster. however this is not it. its half baked, barely a beta, and very boring at times. no really difficult puzzles, bare bones NPCS, the story is eh, and the game is over with just as soon as it begins. I would maybe recommend it in the future is more content is added but as it stands its a hollow copy of ghost master that brings nothing new and less then half of what that game was.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It is not yet done. There are a few aspects that are missing. They are on their way but itś missing some core stuff 1/ there are no feathers; wich means no specific binding. I can plunge all the gost in 1 room and let it go haywire 2/ The puzzels are very very easy due to the no feather mechanics. 3/ The gost have their specific power but there is not yet an upgrading section. 4/ The number of ghost per scenario is limit to3 which is low. 5/ The powers of which they can take with is lo…

The visuals are beautiful, and the animations are well chosen. I didn't notice any texture blending that could break the immersion. As for the…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I WANT to like this game, it's clearly made with a lot of love and it's KINDA fun! but it's just missing something, all the levels feel very samey where you use 2-3 abilities in specific predefined places to unlock a new ghost, and then kill or drive off all the mortals in a level, but there's not very much that makes the levels different with very few interactions with the environment so you largely just do the same few attacks or interactions until you win, and the only threat to you in the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I got around 5 hours of fun, spooky gameplay from this game before requiring new content and deciding to put it back on the shelf till dev´s work has progressed... It´s technically stable and fun so far, but devs announced end of EA, so... probably not seeing much content update to this. Maybe pay for content DLCs. Game got to little content for my taste. Take a look at the gametime of other players. 2 hours, 5 hours, 12 if you do locations again in sandbox mode.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Despite refunding this, I decided to leave a positive review in support of the developers as I really like what they are trying to do with this game. That being said I also feel it is currently somewhat barebones (pun intended!) so have decided to offer feedback here for everyone's benefit: [url=www.youtube.com/live/UYzJjY8CLOs] Streamed this to my channel and got as far as the third level out of 6 locales to explore, but owing to my own slight confusion regarding the tutorial pop-up that…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very happy that someone decided to contunue GM legacy :)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Honestly the game needs more! Not because it's bad or lacking entertainment but because getting the different ghost feels like Pokemon and I wanna get all of them. Didn't have any issues while playing it other than the lack of more content. I can't wait for more updates to come out so that I can play more of this. 10 out 10 would recommend!

neutral · AI labelView post →Ghost Keeper, developed by Quest Craft and published by Gaming Factory and Quest Craft, embraces a premise that immediately sets it apart from most strategy games: instead of defending humanity from monsters, players become the mastermind behind an ever-growing collection of supernatural terrors. Set in a stylized version of 19th-century England, the game transforms haunted mansions, sleepy settlements, and shadowy corners of Victorian society into playgrounds for spectral mischief. It is a…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really like the concept of the game, to play as a "bad guys". So far its pretty good. the graphic is pleasant too. I see some problems here and there but it doesn't affect the game that much, so for now its a "W" game for me.

I couldn't tell you the amount of times my cat would yowl in the night scaring the hell out of me or messing with a touch lamp making me think I was haunted. (True Story) The music gets you right in the mood for haunting humans. Being a paranormal lover, I felt all the different abilities each ghost had was well researched. And the fact that you could customize each ghost…

Each minion has their own abilities, while the Brotherhood of ghost hunters can show up and make your haunting a lot more difficult. Pros ✔️ It reminded me of games I used to play - There is something nostalgic about managing a group of ghosts and figuring out the best way to scare everyone out. ✔️ The ghosts are fun and unique -…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Basically it's a spiritual successor to ghost master, that's humor is a bit dryer from what it feels like it needs. I'm of the opinion that each game needs the right atmosphere, and in this case you need a specific ratio of cartoonyness to realism ration to deliver. Some games you want a feeling that things are more realistic (arma). Other games having lots of silliness in a bizarre way works great (borderlands). But some times you need just the right ration amount of humor whilst not going…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A fun spiritual successor to Ghost Master. The option to either kill or scare off is a nice touch. A good foundation for the game that hopefully will continue to expand in the future. It's a nice, easy 100% completion game! At times this game can hold your hand a little too in the way it directs you on how to unlock new ghosts, rather than letting you solve the puzzle for yourself. Some updates I'd like to see in the future: Less repetitive voice lines. More levels, ghosts and puzzles.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It would be great to see more content updates! Currently, the game content is too limited, and the sandbox mode unlocked after a single playthrough lacks customization options—such as the ability to adjust the number and types of NPCs within scenes.

I'm excited to jump back in and see what has improved for launch! It's time to haunt some folks. Mischief activate! Twitch.tv/ItsATreee Youtube.com/@ItsACesire
positive · AI labelView post →As a spiritual successor to Ghost Master, this game is very well done! Pun only slightly intended there, by the way. The powers available to the various ghosts in Ghost Keeper are much darker in tone than Ghost Master's were, and that lends it a proper sinister feeling more than that title. The graphics are nice as well, which I'm grateful for because going back to the original GM is a little harder on the eyes these days. Some of the humans tend to get stuck in some manner and need to be…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Brilliant so far, cannot wait to see what additional levels they come out with. The only thing it needs more of is content!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game gives me some wonderfully nostalgic Ghost Master vibes. It is already shaping up to be something special, and I am genuinely excited to see what the team does next. It does have a few bugs here and there as it is an early release game. Give these guys your support and get the game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A very enjoyable game! The easy-to-follow tutorial, graphic design, and music are huge pluses. NPC (Mortals) intelligence could be improved. Regardless, I highly recommend it :)

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Ghost Keeper is a fun game with a nostalgic feel to it while also adding new innovations to keep it appealing to modern audiences. The freedom you are given to take the level at your pace and as creatively as you want it to be is a joy; it adds a lot of player choice, which I love. I enjoyed my time with it and look forward to seeing more as the game's early access journey presses on.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →After playing for 2 hours, I can say the following: Pros: + Good music + Interesting locations and characters + Spiritual successor to Ghost Mater Cons: - The UI is terribly placeholder-like, and I hope the developers will change that in the future. - Not many new reactions and cooler interactions with characters Overall, I liked the game. It's still in Early Access, so I hope it will continue to be developed, and I can't wait for the next updates.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I want Ghost master! We have Ghost master at home Ghost master at home... The ghosts are limited, the powers a bit boring and the levels almost seem right. The reason I don't recommend this game, is because it feels like someone trying to copy Ghost master and being unable to pull it off. The levels work, but aren't that much fun - all puzzles are guided, and unless you play on hard difficulty, patience will ensure a victory every time. The ghosts have powers, but some of them seem nearly…

It seems as when I get ONE level fixed the NEXT level has a bug i can't progress through. I think it needs more work.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A difficult game type to try create. The different aspects that need to come together to give it life are vague and ethereal. Ghost Keeper seems to have the body of a game but is somehow mostly just an empty vessel. Perhaps with a lot of work on special interactions, bits and bobs to make the game and the idea of scaring people fun. Levels seem to just be a brief special interaction to unlock a new ghost who then adds no further character and you listen to the narrator remind you to do…

Finally you can actually kill mortals! Finally ghost powers have detailed descriptions of how they work! Those are probably the two most important changes. The game is still in very early Early…

Can't wait to see what else they do with it.
