GHOST & PRIEST is a 2 player competitive game that involves a priest trying to exorcise a ghost that is possessing foxes around him. The intention of my game was to create a fun experience that can invoke a sense of joy and friendly competitive spirit onto the players. The demographic of my game ranges from children to young adults.
The ghost player’s objective is to kill the priest, however it is unable to in its ethereal form. It uses [WASD] to move and when it finds a fox it has the ability to possess it, giving it the power to attack the priest.
The priest uses arrow keys to move, left click to swing axe and right click to build defences. The axe can be used to collect wood from trees and kill the possessed foxes. The priest’s objective is to exorcise the ghost through lighting alters scattered across the map. They must collect wood and light all of them to win.
The game is an enjoyable experience to play with friends. It emulates typical minigames from local couch multiplayer split-screen games that many enjoy playing. The original concept of the game was a cooperative experience rather than a competitive one, but as the development of the game progressed, it became clear that competitive games would be much more fun.
