Ghost Hunt is a short game with its main mechanic about reloading a revolver, while trying to purge the angry spirits from an abandoned building.
This game was made in roughly two months starting in September, and primary inspirations for this came from miziziziz's Endoparasitic! I highly recommend playing that and its sequel!

A fun and interesting little game! Cumbersome reloading is a great mechanic for survival horror, I'd love to see it explored again in a game with more depth and story to it.
Thank you!
the relief of being able to backpedal while reloading.
(Having a shotgun unlock would be spicy)
Thanks for playing! And if I do decide to expand this game, I'll consider adding to the arsenal!
