Abnormality

Abnormality is a co-op ghost-hunting horror game in which you investigate haunted locations, gather evidence, identify the ghost and try to survive. You can sprint, making chases a test of movement, awareness and quick decisions. When darkness takes over, night vision becomes your last resort.

Investigation

The Investigation mode features 35 ghost types, each with its own behaviours, personality, known traits and hidden traits. Ghosts differ in speed, hunt duration, aggression and other traits, so investigations vary. You use ghost-hunting tools, including familiar equipment and new additions, to identify the ghost and make it out alive.

Haunted locations

Investigations take place in houses, a manor, a chapel, a motel and other locations. Some maps change the flow of play, including one consumed by a blizzard. Each location also contains hidden story elements that reveal why the ghost exists and what happened before you arrived.

Ghost encounters

Ghosts are active, intense and unpredictable. Encounters can involve jumpscares, screen shake and being dragged away from your friends. Possession mechanics are planned for the future.

Character and lobby

You can customize your character’s appearance, body features, skin tone and clothing, among other details. You can also customize your lobby.

Game modes

Investigation is the classic ghost-hunting mode. Exorcism Mode is planned as a follow-up: you enter the same locations after previous investigators have identified the haunting, then uncover the ghost’s trauma and why it will not let go before attempting an exorcism. Thief Mode and Survival Mode are also planned.
