The game was fairly difficult for me in the beginning as well... However, the learning curve is very much achievable. My best advice is to keep your distance, and try to flash multiple ghosts at once. If ghosts get too close while you're trying to capture them, let go of the ghosts and run away to let your flash recharge. Continue this until you're able to capture every ghost in the room.
yeah I tried that. There was a female ghost and what I assume to be a male ghost. The female one sped to me from the other end of the room as I flashed the male one. Before the flash animation ended she was on top of me and no amount of me moving would get her off of me even after being shaken off. I literally entered the room and had barely any space to move and BAM two of them on me almost immediately. Zero time to even use the suction ability, so even had I been able to get her off of me it still would have been a losing battle. Not something that should be happening as my literal first fight. Doesn't make me want to even attempt the game again.
