Nice look and atmosphere. Shame you didn't have more time to work on it.

just a general comment to explain for those who don't read the description: I got COVID after day 1, and only was well enough to spend one additional day on this. So, it's short, and light on substance. :)

I liked the aesthetics, could do with being a bit longer and more explained too, but fun take on the theme

Hi there, your source needs to include the Assets, Packages, and ProjectSettings folders so it can be opened in Unity. Please update your source to be in a format that can be opened as a Unity project.

Developer

Okay, working on it. Still getting over covid. No fun! I'll update the source link and reply to this message again when I have a new link.

The ZIP file https://beard.games/poltergeist/poltergeist-code.zip has been updated to include the full Unity project (160 mb). I've moved the ZIP with just the core/scripts to: https://beard.games/poltergeist/poltergeist-code-scripts-only.zip (6 mb)
