Ectocolloquy

A demo made for a game writing class in 2021.

Play as Taif Haven, the first ghost hunter to extract ghosts from haunted places without violence. Taif has been contracted to clear Creighton Manor of many ghosts by the son of the Manor's original owner.

In this demo, there is only one encounter. Determine what characteristics the ghost prefers (Flirty, Freaky, Friendly, or Funky), and choose interactions that follow that characteristic!

While in the manor, move around with WASD. Hold click to use your flashlight, and aim it with your cursor. Shine your flashlight on a haunted object to initiate an encounter.

While in an encounter, speed up dialogue by holding down click. Advance to the next dialogue by pressing ENTER. Select a dialogue option once the 4 buttons appear.
